Meeting God in the Dark Place

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was (Exodus 18;2--21).

And the people stood afar off, BUT Moses drew near 

Let not God speak to us lest we die (Ex 20;19). Moses talked with God, The people stood afar off.

The biggest hindrance to a nation, a city or an individual experiencing revival is a negligence of seeking God and his person. that is drawing near to the place where God is, indeed it is a place of darkness to many. My proposition in this short blog post is that we have to come into the revelation of the name and person of Jesus in order to encounter the divine person and life transforming experience of meeting his presence. This however comes with a cost, we have to "draw near unto the thick darkness where God is."  We have to visit the dark places, to find him, yes the dark places. of church history where man had feared to go to because of religious dogma. I'm talking of the need to visit the dark places of religion that man has sought to ignore God in, like the oneness of God, and rediscover the place the apostles found, and meet there the god of the apostles.
Dark Places

We fear truth that is hidden in the dark places.
We fear his presence. THE REALITY OF THE ONENESS OF GOD strikes the fear of God in many. why its a dark place many fear to Go. they would rather deal with  GOD THAT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH RATHER THAN ENCOUNTER A NEW REVELATION OF THE TRUE GOD THAT WOULD DEMAND THEY REPENT even of their religious charismatic modern twenty first century faith. That would be too humiliating for them and below their religious pride.

I was talking to a missionary here from South Korea, I challenged him with the fact that Jesus alone was God, he stood his ground, no matter what scriptures I shared with him on the one God, he smurked and laughed. I told him  of when the Jews asked him about the father he replied "he who seen me has seen the father," Jesus went on to say "If you believe not that I am he you hall die in your sins." he was shocked by my statement, maybe he feel insulted. Telling a Christian that he would die in his sIns if he did not accept Jesus as God. This man too in his religious cloak was one of the many afraid to draw near to the one true Deity, Jesus Christ.

The people stood afar off, while Moses drew near. (Exodus 20;21) The stand off generation, knows God but does not want to admit that Jesus alone is God. A generation that want's revival without wanting to repent for their indifference to the oneness of God. They want trinitarianism and that is a sacred cow they will never abandon. A modern day idol of the charismatic ecumenical church today.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. 
Where is God? He' not in the past revival, he's in the new revival the new awakening, and the new comes with fresh revelation. It's not enough anymore just to pray to God, we must like Moses see him face to face. We have to hear him say "I AM." Catch him in  fire, experience him in the burning bush, Meet him in our desert storm.

Our future depends on our understanding of the person of Jesus Christ. Is he God to you? God is not happy until all bow before him. Until that happens no amount of praying for revival will for one moment change our nation. Moses life is the proof. Thou shalt have no other God's but ME. Moses wrote that, God spoke that! Moses conviction came from being in the presence of one God. God matters! Do you know HIM! Blessed, revived, wakened, is the nation whose God is the LORD (Jesus)..

Healing is God's Will

And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him ALL the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, 

The news about him spread through the whole country of Syria, so that people brought to him ALL those who were sick, suffering from ALL kinds of diseases and disorders: people with demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people—and Jesus healed them ALL. (MATT 4: 24,25 GNV).

He sent forth His word and healed them; He healed ALL their diseases He who forgives ALL your iniquities, and heals ALL your diseases. (Psalm 107:20). 

Praise the LORD, my soul! All my being, praise his holy name! 2Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is. 3He forgives ALL my sins and heals ALL my diseases. 4He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy.5He fills my life+ with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle. (Psalm 103:1-5 GNV).

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Forget not ALL his benefits (Psalm 103;2 KJV).

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, (John 3;14).If ALL who looked on the snake lived then ALL who look to Christ today live.

3 Revelations For Your Healing

1.GOD CAN
God is able. he is able to do for you, exceedingly, "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," (Ephesians 3;20).

He is able NOW. Not, he was able back there in the bible days. These are still bible days. NOW he is able NOW he is still able and Now he is still able to do for you. Because he is able he is able to do all things for you NOW.

2. GOD HAS
God has given us all
Because God can, God has. Because God can heal, he has already provided for us healing. The principle whatever God will do, he has already done. Whatever God will do for you, he has already provided and made possible. "He HAS given us all things that pertain to life and godliness." (2 Peter1;3)

Because God has, we are
Isaiah 53:5-8 King James Version (KJV) 5 But HE WAS wounded for our transgressions, HE WAS bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes WE ARE healed... Because he was wounded we are healed, Because he was made sick we are made well.

3.GOD WILL
Folks ask me, "Will God heal me? Because we are healed we understand and that God will heal us. Because God will, we are! God is not punishing you with sickness, because he has punished his son with our sicknesses. God is not punishing you because you have sinned or displeased him. God's words is a lamp to our feet, not the condition our sickness. Our conditions not an indicator of his will, his word is. His will is his word and his word is his will. Therefore we take note, "He was wounded" not me God is not wounding you, He Jesus was wounded, so we can be made well. Because we know God has we can have continued faith that he will, God's will is already been performed on Jesus. Healing is God's will. Because God will, we are! 

Declare what is your today. By his stripes I am healed, Because he has healed me, I AM healed. In his name Jesus healing is mine. Mine, Mine. Today I get it, for it belongs to me. NOW!
