When God Comes in Power

Scripture:

Leviticus 9:24  "Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar.  And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown".

Observation:

When Aaron and Moses blessed the people of God, the glory of the Lord appeared to all of them.  Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed their sacrifices.  When the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell on their faces.

Application:

When God really shows us like we've been praying for, we must realize that it will leave us not knowing how to respond.  When God comes in power, you want to shout, jump up and down, but you also want to fall on your face.  Mixed emotions come when God comes in power.  It is very exciting, but also very humbling.  I want to see the fire fall from heaven once again.  When it falls, I will surely have mixed emotions.

Prayer:

Father, let the fire of your presence and glory fill our church and your people.  Come and pour out Your Spirit in my life, my church and my community.  Come Holy Spirit and move among us stronger and stronger as we walk into these last days.  Manifest your glory more and more!

Your Son,

Jeff
