"Standing Before the Lord"

November 27, 2015

“Standing Before the Lord”

Blessings folk!

The King cried out to the Lord on behalf of himself and the nation.
Enemies had surrounded them.
He assembled the people.
Exhibiting humility he sought the Lord before the people.
Then they waited.
Their eyes were upon the Lord.
All Judah stood before the Lord.
They waited.
Men.
Wives.
Infants.
Children.

None of this “I can’t stand before the Lord because they do not have childcare” stuff.
None of this “Well, the King better do something or I’m leaving…”

Then, the Word of the Lord came.
It came from the midst of the assembly.

Chronicles 20:13-15a
13 All Judah was standing before the Lord, with their infants, their wives and their children.
14 Then in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite of the sons of Asaph;
15 and he said,…


The Word came through Jahazeil the Levite.

It did not come through the King.
It did not come through those on the “stage” before the folk.
It came from a faithful Levite in the assembly of the people.
Why through him?
Because the Lord desired.
How?
The Spirit of the Lord moved upon him.

Are we willing for such?
Will we allow the Spirit to move as He desires?
Will we await the Lord?
Will we speak the Word He releases?
