Whenever
Moses went into the tabernacle to speak to the Lord, he heard the voice
speaking to him from between the two cherubim.
Numbers
7:89
When Moses
went in to pray for himself or his people
and to wait for
instructions, he found
One waiting for him. What
a lesson for our morning watch.
We must get into the
right place. Moses went into the tabernacle to speak with God. He separated
himself from the people and went where he could be alone with God. He went to
the place where God was to be found. Jesus has told us where that place is. He
calls us to enter into the closet, shut the door, and pray to the Father who is
in secret. Any place where we are really alone with God can be for us the
secret of His presence. To speak
with God requires separation from all ·else
It needs a heart intently set upon and in full
expectation of meeting God personally and having direct dealings with Him. When
we go there to speak to God, they will hear the voice of God speaking to them.
We
must get into the right position. Moses heard the voice of· One speaking from the mercy seat. Bow before the mercy seat
where the awareness of your unworthiness will not hinder you, but will be a real help in trusting
God. At the mercy seat you can have the assurance that your upward
look will be met by His eye, that your
prayer can be heard, that
His loving answer
will be given. Bow before the
mercy seat and be sure that the God of merc. y
will see and bless you.
Hello Pastor Tom. I am also a Pastor from MUMBAI, India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I am also blessed and feel privileged and honored to get connected with you as well as know you and about your ministry as a Pastor. I am encouraged by your post on Place of Prayer. It is a reminder for me to separate myself to be alone with the Lord in prayer and the posture I need to be to show my total dependence on Him. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 38 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have young people from your church to come to MUMBAI to work with us during their vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and ministry. God willing I will be coming to the States in the month of May 2018 and will be so glad to stop by your place and visit you if I am close to your place.
