“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”
We are hungry for more of God in our lives and God is hungry for more of us in His presence.
We can sense that we have come to a ceiling where both we and God are no longer satisfied.
We with the level of the presence of His glory upon us and He of the level of awe and wonder and praise from us.
We are experiencing the imminence for more.
He is seeking those and preparing others to be in the capacity of being able to bear the new weight that He wants us to hold.
It is the eternal space that we can remain in and not just go in and out of as and when there is an allotted time in the week in a service or year at a gathering.
For us to have expectation of Him manifesting and we being multi receptive of feeling seeing and hearing and sensing His presence and its remaining foremost in our daily lives, not a fleeting glimpse that ebbs and flows on specific occasions.
Locally, historically and in the museum there is an illustration of a great, massive man called John Bull. Who required a massive, expansive chair to accommodate him and bear his expansive weight.
A chair which any child placed upon would be overwhelmed by and incapable of reaching all sides of; would appear dwarfed by, and in awe of the extreme size of the man it was designed for.
This is the overwhelming expansive size and weight of God who we have unwittingly made small and insignificant weighed against the amount of time and praise we are willing to sacrifice for Him.
God’s capacity is for far more and we are boxing Him in with our own concepts. We have to adjust the dynamics of our thinking and practices to support the new level that He is moving on to.
Staying in the same stance and posture maybe of our own preferences because we have been among those who birthed and built it, will not withhold the weight of the new we are being birthed into. In the natural dynamic the scenario would be destined to some collapse, crash, collision.
God is the ever arriving and more, filling His temple with His train as in Isaiah’s vision.
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple. Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wings he flew. And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.””
His presence is unfathomable, unmediated, beyond comparison because it has to be tangibly felt by His people and them have revelation too of His new structure. God’s desire to manifest and come to His people in an even more meaningful relationship is tangible.
We cannot love with our heart what we don’t know with our mind therefore God’s desire to expand our minds and break down boundaries is sensed.
He is not bound by us and our time frames. He is the one with ultimate free will.
Biblical evidence shows the occasions where He dramatically intervenes releases freedom of Spirit and His blessing.
He wants our hearts, will and submission to acknowledge He reigns. To let God be in our minds. It is a sobering thought.
When God wants something it must be because He doesn’t have it.
Are we willing to shift or are we idolising our own wants and therefore defensive?
Peter’s response to want to camp out in the Transfiguration moment was not what God’s intent was.
We are here to Worship Him in intimacy for the collective kingdom not to cash in for our own benefits.
When His glory turned up we meet it on our face. God’s desire is for more now.
“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”
The time has come for our sacrifice to sit on the altar of our worship and feel to be no sacrifice at all.
It is in all our time. Not just in an hour’s service. All our desire and purpose. Not just when we happen to.
He dwells in the praises of His people it is where love meets love.
“But You are holy, O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].”
In the natural when we are in love we become oblivious of time just wanting to spend time together. Nothing is too much effort to reach the other’s needs.
You pursue inexhaustible and the other alone is enough to fill you with love and joy. You become totally committed and your sacrifice doesn’t ever look like it because it is your pleasure. The one you love you worship
God’s love for us is more than this. He worships us individually and corporately. We are enough.
It begs the question of us is God enough?
When we come away from worshiping Him is He the one still on our lips or is it about us and the quality perceived of the worship sensation?
Is it still on our terms or His? Does He have our all? When He is central every other door opens wider to our love.
It emanates into the depth we can love our family, our friends our colleagues, our acquaintances, strangers even enemies.
There is a third person in the way we love everyone in the person of God.
The illustration shows God enthroned and filling space with no boundaries. Light emanating and pushing back the darkness.
Three Scriptures that come to mind:
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw [in a vision] the Lord sitting on a throne, high and exalted, with the train of His royal robe filling the [most holy part of the] temple. Above Him seraphim (heavenly beings) stood; each one had six wings: with two wings he covered his face, with two wings he covered his feet, and with two wings he flew. And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.” Isaiah 6:1-3 AMP
“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”Habakkuk 2:14 AMP
“But You are holy, O You who are enthroned in [the holy place where] the praises of Israel [are offered].” Psalms 22:3 AMP
