THE FORM OF THE LORD

I have noticed that what can bring me out of rest in the Lord and faith in His promises is when I create in my mind the order of events and certain outcomes that I think need to happen to awaken the world, to bring it into unity, and to win the war from dark to Light. Then, when things don’t appear to be going according to my schedule of events, I can feel anxiety and doubt trying to creep in and steal my peace, my faith, and my focus on the Lord. I believe the following word will help us counter this disempowering battle in our minds.

NUMBERS 12:8a (NASB) “With him (Moses) I speak mouth to mouth, that is, openly and not using mysterious language, and he beholds the form of the Lord.”

The word “form” in this verse carries the meaning of seeing an image, a likeness, a representation, or an embodiment of someone. Moses isn’t seeing the fullness of God but he has learned to recognize His essence, His likeness.

“I want to plainly tell you that events leading up to the ULTIMATE VICTORY of the Light over the darkness will not necessarily play out how you think they need to unfold. My WISDOM and CREATIVITY are so far above yours that you need to give Me the FREEDOM to unfold My plans in My way and My timing because that will keep you in FAITH, in PEACE, and RESTING in My BRILLIANCE and POWER. You fall into the trap of being DISAPPOINTED or DISCOURAGED when you insist that I follow your timeline and order of events. This temporarily takes you out of the fight, and I need ALL SWORDS SHARPENED and READY at this strategic time. Instead of looking for certain events to happen, I AM counseling you to LOOK FOR THE FORM OF THE LORD. Don’t put Me in your box but look for Me to move in My WAYS and TIMING. Watch and learn to discern THE FORM OF THE LORD—where am I moving, what am I stirring up with My LIKENESS? Do you recognize where My LIFE is FLOWING? Look for THE FORM OF THE LORD and CALL TO LIFE and FULLNESS where you see My MOVEMENTS of life and peace. If you learn to recognize THE FORM OF THE LORD, you will be drawn into UNION with Me and you will watch with WONDER how the Rescue of the Ages unfolds.”
