part 9 part 4
Part 9 A Vision"And as soon as he came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, Moses' anger burned hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain. 20He took the calf that they had made and burned it with fire and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the people of Israel drink it." *how do we feel when we see others worshiping idols?* are we not pray on there behalf?* this is America with our golden calf, are we not upset? "All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame." Isa 44:9"Assemble yourselves and come;draw near together,you survivors of the nations!They have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols,and keep on praying to a godthat cannot save." Isa 45:20* why come together when we are holding on to our idols?“If united prayer is sweet to God, let us give Him MUCH of it. We cannot make God happier than He is in reality, for He is the infinitelyhappy God. Yet, if there is anything concerning which He expressessatisfaction, let us abound in it. O church of God, cry day and night to Him. If your voice, O spouse, is sweet in His ears, turn not away yourface and let not your voice be silent. But cry, and even in the nightwatches, pour out your heart like water before the Lord God.”“." The prayers of a saint are sweet, but theprayers of saints are sweeter. United prayers possess the power ofharmony. In music there is melody in any distinct note, but we have all recognized a peculiar charm in harmony. Now the prayers of one saint areto God melody, but the intercessions of many are harmony, and to Godthere is much that is pleasing in the harmony of His people's prayers.”How sweet and dangerous to be in the presence of God. This what has been gripping me I pray I cry and weep. But sometimes I just pray. But have I went into the fearful and dangerous and holy presence of God? This is longing of my heart. That I just don’t come and pray. Oh I want to taken away by God. This has been the very cry of my heart. It is my deepest desire. “ Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD and when I saw it I fell on my face and I heard the voice of the speaking” Ezekiel 1:28"I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!" Then might be that I might see this sight of my Holy God, then might I say ..."Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"“Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."Wow is me this wicked sinner. The more I see Christ in his holiness the more I see my wickedness. What a amazing thing with when we get a little sight of God, through his word, when praying..Also I have found that in the presence of God there is the fullness of joy.. What better place to be then with God. Oh we can talk about, bu doesn’t it show with our devotion to make time for him? So pray starts with the simple heart love of wanting to be with God.. If we struggle even maybe our love has grown cold and idols are hiding in the dark harden part of our hearts? Even in our weakness God can renew us and pour power out and make our love a new. How much do we want God it simply some down to what we hunger for, what we are willing to give up for the Cross. What are willing to give to pray? But we must have longing in our hearts? We must want God? We must be done with our ways? Oh how I wish this could be heard in each heart like a sword it would go forth and hit our hearts. That we love our God with all, mind, soul, heart. And come loving to talk and be with more then all lives joy.
