REVELATION  6/29/07  INTIMACY AND THE WORK PLACE

I have been knocked out of my intimacy with the Lord for 3 weeks, having many pressing things to deal with in a practical level, along with job related commitments.  I dont see an end to it right now and it is hard on me.  As I was praying about it, I read the scripture about Moses and the veil he placed over his face.   I was very touched as the Lord downloaded the following Word to me:

WORD TO PONDER:  VEILS IN THE WORK PLACE  6/29/07

As My minister, I have called you to intimacy with Me and intimacy with My people.  It is a place where you have a transparent face and when My anointing is upon you, you shine with My glory.  This precious place is where we dwell together in intimacy of Presence, love and friendship.  Dear one, I know you long to dwell there 24/7 and there will come a day when we all will be one and you shall dwell in My temple day and night.

While you are waiting for that time, there are things you need to accomplish in tasks and duties as My helping hands to a world that is entrenched with need and care.  I not only send you with My Word, but also with My hands and feet, that you freely give the practical gifts.  When you are ministering in the world, I know you miss our intimacy, but it is safer for the veils to come over the intimate face of our fellowship.  This keeps our secret place protected and your heart and faith protected as well.  When you are before Me and those that love Me, you are vulnerable and transparent.  When you are in the world, you must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

Ex 34:29-35 NLT

When Moses came down the mountain carrying the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, he wasn't aware that his face glowed because he had spoken to the LORD face to face. 30 And when Aaron and the people of Israel saw the radiance of Moses' face, they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them and asked Aaron and the community leaders to come over and talk with him. 32 Then all the people came, and Moses gave them the instructions the LORD had given him on Mount Sinai. 33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever he went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with the LORD, he removed the veil until he came out again. Then he would give the people whatever instructions the LORD had given him, 35 and the people would see his face aglow. Afterward he would put the veil on again until he returned to speak with the LORD.
