God Is In The House

God Is In the House

Exodus 40:34-38

34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: {went onward: Heb. journeyed}

37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

God, in the day that we live in, is pouring out His Holy Spirit upon the world in general.

We live in a day that has been prophesied about, a day where God really is doing great things.

We live in a day that we see where Bible Prophesy is being fulfilled right before our eyes.

We live in a day when Jesus Christ is standing in our midst.

Moses was a man who was a servant, but yet he was a friend of God.

He was a man that God had chosen to reveal Himself to and He was going to show Him great and might things.

Numbers 12:4-9

4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

Miriam and Aaron had spoken against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman he had married.

They apparently felt that this woman was not of their own kind, so she had no right to be where she was at.

When the Word of God tells us that we are not to be unequally yoked, it is talking about someone who does not believe the way you believe.

Moses did not take one of his own people to be his wife, so she must have been a believer in the God that Moses served.

A lot of times people let their own emotions try to dictate what they think God is speaking.

Miriam and Aaron are complaining because they don’t see how God could or would let this happen.

They asked the question “Has the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Has He not also spoken by us?”

The Lord heard their complaint, and in verse 4 it says that the Lord spoke suddenly unto Moses, Miriam and to Aaron.

Numbers 12:5-9

5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

God was saying yes I am speaking to you, but you’re not really listening to what I have said.

If there is a Prophet among you, I will make myself known to him in a vision and I will speak to him in a dream, but not so with Moses.

I will speak to him mouth to mouth, so why are you speaking against my servant Moses?

In other words, keep your mouth shut and don’t talk about God’s anointed.

God was in the house.

In our opening scripture it says: “Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle”.
