WHAT IS THE SINIFIANCE FOR SAMUEL ANOINTING DAVID? THIS WAS DONE INTHE PRESENCE OF MANY PEOPLE AND THE PURPOSEWA THAT THER WOULD BE NO DOUBT WHO GOD HAD CHOSEN. THAT WAS THE REASON FORTH FEAST. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING UPON DAVID WAS OF GREAT SIGNIFINACE, IT SHOW TO EVEY ONE THAT HE WAS. CHOSEN PERSON THAT GOD COULD USE, BECAUSE HE ASKED FOR THE LORDS GUDANCE IN ALL THINGS AND ALWAYS GAV PRASIES TO GOD. DAVID UNDERSTANDS TOTALLY THAT WITHOUT THE ANOINTING, IT WILL LL BE IN VAIN AN NOT PROPOSER.

Q2. (1 Samuel 16:3-12) How does this story teach us the importance of listening carefully to God's voice? God assured him of the divine guidance, saying "I will show thee what thou shalt do" What is our instinctive way of discerning? discerning comes from learning the voice of God, we tend to listen to man's voice instead of God's. It will always be right and in order when the Lord has given you the release that the decision was right. How is God teaching us to discern? With every task that you have been assigned to do for the work of the church or God's people having that close fellowship with God in our prayer lives, the closer you get to God the more you think like God, The whole point is that God can see the heart and we cannot. How do we learn to listen to the Spirit?The way I know the Spirit is that every day I pray until the Holy Spirit takes over and starts praying for me. The more I pray the closer I get to God. This has been a very real way of life for me this year, I separated myself from everything for 30 days to find out the way God would have me to go. From that time on there has never been a time when I did not feel the presence of God around me. It taught me one thing you can get just as close to God as you want to get.

What is Rebellion? opposition to one in authority or dominance.[/font][/color]defiance of authority: opposition to or defiance of authority, accepted moral codes, or social conventions In what way is rebellion as bad as witchcraft or occult practices? witchcraft is the use of sorcery and communicating with the devil, this puts rebellion in a bad company. Saul, in his rebellion, which is as bad as witchcraft,and in his insubordination, which is as bad as worshiping idols, had rejected “the word of the Lord.” In forceful language, Samuel faced Saul with the awesome rebuke that the Lord “hath rejected thee from being king.” What does rebellion have to do with arrogance? arrogance means an attitude of superiority manifested in and overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions, with this known, it is like they go hand in hand with each other. The arrogant person will be a rebellious person, because it is a demeanor of evil that has taken complete control of their life, What can we do when we find rebellion against God in our hearts? Get it under the blood and ask God to deliver you from the this problem before it consumes my life and drives me to utter destruction, there is only one way God will hear anything you have to say and it will be with humility, and without it you will hear nothing from God. What happens if we do nothing? The answer is above in the last question, but I feel in my spirit to add more because it seems in this "SELF" attitude world of rebellion in every age bracket, unless there is a return to humility as a child, the world is on its way to a point where it will never have a chance to repent and ask for forgiveness. May God have mercy upon us once more before it is to late.

Q1. (Galatians 5:22a) Love is the first and primary fruit of the Holy Spirit, but joy and peace are inseparable from love. Why can’t joy and peace exist apart from love – love for God and love for our neighbors? It would have been enough to mention only the single fruit of love, for love embraces all the fruits of the Spirit. In 1 Corinthians, Paul attributes to love all the fruits of the Spirit: “Charity suffereth long, and is kind,” etc. Here he lets love stand by itself among other fruits of the Spirit to remind the Christians to love one another, “in honor preferring one another,” to esteem others more than themselves because they have Christ and the Holy Ghost within them.

Q1. (Galatians 2:11-14) Why do you think Peter first embraced the Gentile believers in Antioch and later withdrew from them to eat only with Jews? He feared the Jews that came from James. Peter’s weak attitude endangered the principle of Christian liberty. It is the deduction rather than the fact which Paul reproves. To eat and to drink, or not to eat and drink, is immaterial. But to make the deduction “If you eat, you sin; if you abstain you are righteous”—this is wrong. What does this tell us about his character? Peter valiantly defended the liberty of the Gospel. But now by abstaining from meats forbidden in the Law, he went against his better judgment. You have no idea what danger there is in customs and ceremonies. They so easily tend to error in works. Why should he have known better? Because, he was an excellent apostle, in a former council at Jerusalem he practically stood alone in defense of the truth that salvation is by faith, without the Law. What does this tell us about Barnabas?Paul alone stood up for the truth, for Barnabas, his companion, was lost to him, and Peter was against him. What does it tell us about the political clout of the visitors from Jerusalem? It had a disturbing impact on Peter to make the right decision to stand for the truth, and not to gain respect of anyone no matter the title or power. Black is Black and White is white, no gray areas in this Gospel. Have you ever acted like a hypocrite to impress others? Yes, I have in my past, and had a very sleepless night for going against what I knew was right. What should you do when you recover your senses? If you have hurt anyone, immediately make it right. Repeat and ask God for forgiveness, and with the help of God, don't get caught in that situation again. if you are sincere, Jesus will always give you a way of escape. Maranatha; Brother Mike

Q2. (Galatians 2:14) Why do you think Paul confronted Peter publicly rather than privately? Living the life of a Christian, it is of great importance that you don't live above being rebuked. We all at times will want our way of thinking and doing things to be right. There is no one perfect except one. Confronting the issue opening is a great way to get the message across to many people at one time. Paul has assured everyone that he is under direct orders, not of man, but the only perfect Saviour of the world. When he says, “to his face,” Paul accuses the false apostles of slandering him behind his back. In his presence they dared not to open their mouths. He tells them, “I did not speak evil of Peter behind his back, but I withstood him frankly and openly.” Do you expect Paul had talked with Peter about this previously? When he says, “to his face,” Paul accuses the false apostles of slandering him behind his back. In his presence they dared not to open their mouths. He tells them, “I did not speak evil of Peter behind his back, but I withstood him frankly and openly.” How did a public discussion of this benefit the Jewish Christians? As if the apostles had said to him: “We, Paul, do agree with you in all things. We are companions in doctrine. We have the same Gospel with this difference, that to you is committed the Gospel for the uncircumcised, while the Gospel for the circumcision is committed unto us. But this difference ought not to hinder our friendship, since we preach one and the same Gospel.” How did it benefit the Gentile Christians? There is one Gospel for all, you cannot rely on just anything that people say. Paul was our connection to the Gospel being brought to us. Thank God. What kind of pressure do you think this put on Paul? It is marvelous how God preserved the Church by one single person. Paul alone stood up for the truth, for Barnabas, his companion, was lost to him, and Peter was against him. Sometimes one lone person can do more in a conference than the whole assembly.

Q3. (Galatians 2:1-3) Paul is arguing that the Jerusalem leaders support his position on circumcision, rather than that of the Judaizers. What is the significance of Paul’s mention that Titus was not required to be circumcised? Thank God, that we have leaders that obey God rather than what man, has to say about the real truth and knowledge of the Word of God. Paul was specially chosen to bring the Gospel to the Gentiles, The reason the Judizers hated Him so much is that they where afraid of losing business. Just as today's churches, they have built theses mega social centers, and now they have got to allow anything to come in, so they can get their salaries and keep the doors open. What a shame, there are going to be a great number of people in hell looking for a preacher that lied to them. Paul, got his directions straight from the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazereth, and if he said the Gentiles dis not have to be circumised according to law, then they did not have to be circumcised. The Word of God is so simple that a child can understand it, man has turned it into a debating subject, and for the most part, have confused many people, who do not rightly divide the Word of God and search the scriptures daily.

Q2. (Galatians 1:13-16) What factors in Paul's background made him an ideal apostle to the Gentiles? Here Paul relates that immediately upon being called by God to preach the Gospel to the Gentiles, he went into Arabia without consulting a single person. “When it had pleased God,” he writes, “I did not deserve it. I had been an enemy of Christ. I had blasphemed His Gospel. I had shed innocent blood. In the midst of my frenzy I was called. Why? On account of my outrageous cruelty? Indeed not. My gracious God who shows mercy unto whom He will, pardoned all mine iniquities. He bestowed His grace upon me, and called me for an apostle.” How did God use his being different from others? We also have come to the knowledge of the truth by the same kindness of God. I crucified Christ daily in my cloistered life, and blasphemed God by my wrong faith. Outwardly I kept myself chaste, poor, and obedient. I was much given to fasting, watching, praying, saying of masses, and the like. Yet under the cloak of my outward respectability I continually mistrusted, doubted, feared, hated, and blasphemed God. My righteousness was a filthy puddle. Satan loves such saints. They are his darlings, for they quickly destroy their body and soul by depriving them of the blessings of God’s generous gifts. When a man did as this old man Saul, this would prove to the unbelieving, that truely this new man Paul has been with God. To ponder: How has your unique background fitted you for ministry? The change that Jesus did for me, was only a miracle, I would not be here today, if it had not been for the mercy of God and praying saints, trusting God that i would get saved. What uniqueness has God given you? The great gift God has given me was after about four years of working in the church, as a Adult SS Teacher, a Sunday School Leader. I still felt something was missing, that was when I gave my all to Christ and since then it has been unreal. I run the media department at church and I am an intersessor for our church and other churches as well. I am an altar worker and my life is devoted to seeking Gods will. I spend many hours in prayer and fasting, and when I started doing that, great things started happening in the church, people getting saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost and Fire Baptized. God has not changed and he is not dead, because I talk to Him many times a day in prayer. When I truely gave my all to Christ, life has not been the same. What will it take to see that uniqueness as a God-given strength rather than as an embarrassment? With the Holy Spirit leading my life, and staying behind Him, all will go as He wants it. With the holy Spirit, truely leading your life you will not be embarrassed, doing anything. I am dead to the world, and the things of the world, in many different experiences, the Holy Ghost has directed me exactly what to do. My spirit of discernment, is growing more and more, and in these days you have to have someone who can discern evil spirits and things that are trying to creep into the church. The devil is not going to lay down and play dead, and when he gets mad, I know I am right where I ought to be. I hate the devil, and he hates me, because I know his schemes and he don't like that at all.

Q1. (Galatians 1:11-12) What is the source of Paul's gospel? Paul received his knowledge of the meaning of what Jesus was teaching His 11 disciples, from the teacher Himself thru divine revelation.Where could you get a better knowledge of the Christian faith, than from the man it was named after. Jesus Christ, from Nazerath? What a source!!! How do we know that it is a true revelation? We know that it was true, because when Paul started preaching in the synogues, He was teaching that Jesus Christ was the true son of God, and that He got the message from Jesus personally. How does it conform to our other foundational sources of Christian teaching? It is what the Christian doctrine is built upon and the source of the teaching is the basic teaching of the Christian faith. What is the danger of taking the teaching of contemporary leaders as our doctrinal basis without checking it with the Scripture The last question about the Christian faith is what we rely upon for our preperation for the Rapture. As the Bible warns us in these last days not to worry about the time of the Rapture, but look at the signs. You would have to be blind not to see the signs, this world is about to experience things that will put people on their knees begging for forgiveness. The wolves in sheeps clothing are all over the place teaching a new way to get to heaven, there is no new way, and God never changes, not for me or anybody else. The whole problem in a nutshell is that the church has forgot how to pray and fast, and if you know your Bible, this is the only way to get the results and promises made by God. The church can't pray so they have reverted to music to get the results of pray and it is going to cause many people to hear "Depart from me, I do not know you".

Q2. (2 Corinthians 8:4, 7-9, 19) What does grace have to do with giving? What does giving look like when it isn’t accompanied by grace? What does it look like when grace prompts your giving? 1. It was necessary to the completeness and harmony of their Christian character. 2. It would be a proof of their sincerity. 3. Christ had become poor for their sake. 4. It would redound to their own advantage, inasmuch as consistency required that having manifested the disposition, they should carry it out in action. 5. What was required of them was perfectly reasonable. They were asked to give only according to their means; and what they were called on to do for others, others under similar circumstances would be required to do for them.

Q1. (2 Corinthians 8:1-5) Why is it so difficult to give when we are stressed by circumstances and bills and pressures? We tend to look at our condition from the fleshly side of our character, forgetting most of the time who has every thing under complete control, if we allow Him to have it. This is a point in our life that could be a testing point to see what our choice will be. What can we learn from the example of the Macedonians and the poor widow? Jesus knows every ones heart, and also the reason you give, if it is a sacrifice then it is of the greats value. When you give because you have plenty, most of the time it is to be for self to be exalted and not from the true heart of giving. How will this lesson affect your own giving? It will keep your mind thinking, what am I giving for and what is my motive for giving.

Q1. (2 Corinthians 5:16-17) What does verse 17 teach us about the nature of a new believer? Where else could you go and get a deal like that, a new page of life begins and with God leading the way through prayer and fasting and can only get better, the best part is I now have someone I can depend on under any circumstance, if I hold up my part of Christianity under the direction of the Bible, the path will get rough sometimes, but that helps the growth. You Are a brand new person!!!!! W What changes in a person when he puts his faith in Christ? Everything will have a whole new outlook, because you are letting Christ lead, and keeping my trust and faith in Him, from what I read in the Bible in the end (WE WIN) Why don’t old habits disappear immediately if everything has become new? Some habits will take time, I but with God in control all things will eventually change, one thing about it God knows the heart, so don't use it as a crutch to keep old habits. Strive everyday to grow to the life of perfection, and you will never regret it. God Bless; Maranatha Brother Mike McCue

Q5. (2 Corinthians 4:15-18) In what way do problems and physical deterioration help us toward “an eternal weight of glory”? No matter what becomes of our bodies down here as we work for Our Redeemer Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, will be worth it all when we step into heaven, that always excites me, the streets are transparent gold, their is nothing as that and we will walk on it. We are building our rewards in heaven with all we do for the work of the church on earth, Jesus told us to lay your treasures in heaven where rust, moth, decay, nothing messes with it in heaven. Why is it so easy to focus on temporal matters to the exclusion of eternal things?The daily fast paced life, that people live now,bis never given much thought, when I heard people telling a microwave oven, to hurry up, I new we where getting in trouble. We live in instant generation, and just as John wrote about the end times they are opening, right before our eyes. People are running to and fro, they have lost all respect for themselves, and are believing a lie that will carry them straight to hell. Why is a focus on eternal things so important to our spiritual growth? This is were it is all revealed, you willed be rewarded for your service on earth, as you did for your spiritual growth, in heaven, with the rewards given out as the work was done on earth. What can we do to help shift our focus? The best way to keep focused right now, is to read the book of Revelation every week, that book does not need hardly anything talked about, that is come to pass. We are about to go home, Thank God, people are always looking for something, and I think while I was praying the other day the Lord spoke to my Spirit and said. (The human body (creature) will never be satisfied until it goes back to its (creator). God Bless; Brother Mike McCue

Q4. (2 Corinthians 4:8-12) How does it encourage you to know that Paul went through tremendous stress and pressure? I know one thing, whatever went on in Paul's life In that span of nothing being written, said or done, Paul new things that were unreal for us to believe. What a man God chose for this part of history; and to think He wrote almost all the new testament. Whatever went on in that quiet was a package full of dynamite that came with Paul . You can't do anything to stop a man on a mission like the Apostle Paul. When some tells you, that they count it worthy to be beaten for Jesus, you can't stop no one like that, my God to them to die is to gain. What effect did these sufferings have on the way people could see Christ in Paul? Their was no doubt in peoples mind at the end of his missionaries journey, that he was a chosen man of God. What an honor that is and with all the responsibilities that come with it. He had to convince people he had orders to kill, to believe he was one of them now, but God had it all worked out for Paul with a man called Barnabas. What a God we serve, that is why He is all I need, He will never let you down, not one time in my walk with God has He ever let me down, I wish I could say that about myself. Why is pain necessary to spiritual growth? The walk of a Christian is one that can never stop growing, because if you stop and get satisfied where you are, you will gradually die. This is a walk of life and it can never stop, the growth depends on the person walking, there are no two of us alike and the patterns of growth will be different in everyone, that does not matter, as long as you are growing, that is the key right there (growth). How does our pain allow others to assess our authenticity as Christians? When Christ told Christians to come unto Him, He was telling them, you are on a journey and this earth is going to fade away, when people start watching your life and you are calling yourself a Christians, you are to be different, that is where so many people have been deceived, if you are no different than them you are a hypocrite, calling yourself a Christians and slopping the hogs sinners. I beg you if you are no different than the sin cursed worldly people, then where is your testimony, what have you overcome, are you walking your talk?? Hm Hm They know people, if you are living a life of sin you will never make it to heaven, you ask why? The Bible would be a lie, if God allowed sin to enter heaven. I pray that you are not taking that broad road that is easy, if you are, you still have time to turn around. God Bless; Brother Mike McCue

Q3. (2 Corinthians 5:7) What does it mean to walk by faith, not by sight?What we see before us can cause us to make the wrong decisions, we don't see the big picture as our Father Jesus Christ of Nazareth does. I always tell people just look up and don't take your eyes off Christ, because He will never lead you astray. That is my Father and their is no doubt in my mind that he will take care of His children. You can take that to the bank, He paid my debt in full when He willing gave His Life For a wretched sinner as I was. I would not be posting this message in a forum today, if it had not been for Jesus Christ, the son of God, that shed His blood that I may live. Praise God Why can’t nonbelievers understand this kind of living? This does not even to begin to sound to sinners that it is as simple as simple can be. I think it is so simple that sinners cannot register in their way of dog eat dog world, that a free and priceless life could be saved from such sin that is almost indescribable, could be forgiven. But it is so simple a child can understand it. Thank God for letting his son pay our debt, that we might be free. What aspects of your life are guided by your senses rather than by your faith? I have very few areas of my life that, I don't have God's will in it, one way or the other, we are all prone to sin, their was only one perfect sacrifice, and that was Jesus Christ, no other. I have made a point now in my life to step back for just a second and ask myself, [Could I see Jesus Christ do what I am thinking about doing, if I can't see Him doing it, I leave it alone.] Jesus told us to be like him, and that is my hearts desire, you will sleep better than you ever have, when you know who is in charge, never sleeps and is always watching over me. How can you bring a faith perspective into these areas? I have no problem with that, read above I know without a shadow of doubt who got everything under control. We are about to go home folks, make sure their is nothing that is going to keep you here after the rapture, you don't want to go through the tribulation, I beg you, don't miss the rapture.

Q2. (2 Corinthians 5:6-8) How do Paul’s words comfort you when you consider your death? Knowing that we are going to receive in twinkling a glorified body, should make us all stand up and shout (Come Quickly Lord). This is going to be worth it all, a perfect body, just as God intended, until the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. They had anything they wanted and was and was deceived into the fall, God never intended for man to fall, but He did. Beware of the ones that are deceiving millions, out there people. There will be no sin in heaven, that is the bottom line and not one jot or tittle, will be permitted. Make sure you know what you are reading from is truth. What do Christians believe happens when we die? Most Christians that I talk to say that when you die, your spirit goes to hell or heaven, and when the bride is call home the graves will give up the remains, where they are, they will be united with there spirit, to be judged. The saints will receive a glorified body, because this natural body cannot stand in the presence of God. What will happen to us if we die before Christ returns? Our spirit will leave us and wait either in heaven or hell to be united with the body, to be judged accordingly. There only one final judge and the books will be open and judged before all. What will happen to us when Christ returns? After the 7 years of tribulation, the bride of Christ will return with Christ to rule and reign this world for a thousand years. The Temple will be the center of this earth and Jesus will be on that throne.

Q1. (2 Corinthians 5:1-5) In what sense are our bodies like tents? With our earthly bodies we are subject to all kind of diseases and infirmities. The tent is only a temporary dwelling place as it was for the Holy of Holies. The same is for us, we will get our gloried bodies one day in heaven, we will not in temporary stat any more. When we consider this simile in connection with the doctrine of the resurrection, which the apostle has treated so much at large in these epistles, and which he keeps constantly in view, then we shall see that he intends to convey the following meaning: that as the tabernacle was taken down in order to be again put together, so the body is to be dissolved, in order to be re-edified; that as the ark of the covenant subsisted by itself, while the tabernacle was down, so can the soul when separated from the body; that as the ark had then its own veil for its covering,so the soul is to have some vehicle in which it shall subsist till it receives its body at the resurrection. If we were to truly look forward to our “house not made with hands,” how would it affect our daily lives here? By earthly house, the apostle most evidently means the body in which the soul is represented as dwelling or sojourning for a time, and from which it is not forever; for as death dissolves the tabernacle, it can then be no habitation for the soul. The apostle also alludes here to the ancient Jewish tabernacle, which, on all removals of the congregation, was dissolved and taken in pieces; and the ark of the covenant, covered with its own curtains, was carried by itself; and when they came to the place of rest, then the dissolved parts of the tabernacle were put together as before. That is why I am looking forward for my new home and I am building, I got my eyes set on Jesus Christ my redeemer. Maranatha Brother Mike (adam and clarke)ibid

Q3. (2 Corinthians 4:7) What truth is Paul seeking to communicate by this analogy of a treasure in a pottery jar? The fact that an earthen vessel could contain this mighty power of God, is beyond reason in its self. God often allows the vessel to be chipped and broken, that the excellency of the treasure contained, and of the power which that treasure has, may be all His. What does the clay jar represent?The fragile "earthen vessel" is the body, the "outward man". What does the treasure represent? The treasure or "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God."The ancients often kept their treasures in jars or vessels of earthenware. "There are earthen vessels which yet may be clean; whereas a golden vessel may be filthy". What’s the paradox here?God often allows the vessel to be chipped and broken, that the excellency of the treasure contained, and of the power which that treasure has, may be all His. The power not merely comes from God, but belongs to Him continually, and is to be ascribed to him. notes;Jammison-Fausset

Q2. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4) Since Satan has blinded people’s eyes to the truth, is there any hope for them? Never give up on anyone as long as we can still be talked to, their is hope, the problem is if it continues too long you will have less time and a hard time the longer he is deceived, eventually it can run into being a-reporbate and their is no hope. What strategies must we use to overcome spiritual blindness? Always searh the scriptures for your answer, inorance any longer. never take anyone's word for your answer, God will not wink at ignorance any longer. How many people are likely to find Christ without intercessory prayer? You don't need no one to intercede for you as long as you are pray for God to save you, God will intercede for you. When he died on that cross and said,-it is finished the veil was rent and came down, their was no more separation from God any more.

Q1. (2 Corinthians 4:1-2) How do questionable ethics and ministry practices hurt the work of Christ? Anytime someone causes disgrace upon God's work the person at fault makes it harder on true Saints of God. The after effect sometimes will take a church down, my God, have mercy on these wolves in sheeps clothing, Christ warned use about this in the 0livet Discourse. The Rapture could be at any moment. The last of the last is upon us, look at the signs can anyone argue that point,Christ said, don't worry about the time, watch the signs, the Bible has not missing one thins that was prophecied thousands of years ago. I pray come quickly Lord. What is Paul’s alternative in verse 2b2 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV) 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. This is where Santification will ***** your conscience, that is why a true prayer life has to be part of our lives, it cannot be otherwise. Sanctification will call you out. You have to have a truthful walk of life about you, not a closet full of skeltons.

Moses glowed by spending time with God on Mt. Sinai, in his tent of meeting, and in the Tabernacle. How can we get a similar glow of the Spirit in our lives? When you spend time with God and stay in His presence for many hours, people will automatically detect different about you that is different from what they have. In what way is meditating on scripture beholding God. The Word of God is the spoken Word of God given under the divine inspiration of the Holy Ghost, always meditate and pray for God to open up His Word to you and let it make a difference in your life, if you are truly sincere He will talk to you from the Word of God and make it real. What is God leading you to do to increase your glow? The Holy Ghost has been leading me in my teaching the Word of God to put a lot more emphasis upon the prayer life of people an the need for more that a lay me down to sleep, I am talking about getting a hold of God and not letting go until you get an answer.

Q4. (2 Corinthians 3:18) Why is character change directly related to time deliberately spent in God’s presence? I have spent a few hours reading and meditating on many subjects relating to what we are most involved in and where we spend most of our time, and it all kept coming back to what I put in my mind and let consume most of my time is what I am. What is the theological word for the process of maturing in Christ? I don't know much about theology, but I do know that you have to continuously grow in Christ every day, if you don't you will soon become bored and lose all hope you ever had at being a maturing Christian. It is a continuously growing that keeps your enthusiasm on a peak level. Don't stop are you will die. Have you noticed a change in the “degree of glory” you’re experiencing now compared to a few years ago? Why or why not? If I only had the time to tell you at where I use to be and where I am now, It would be hard for you to believe, but I have found the real secret at growing and letting my life bless others, you can read all the books you want and listen to great speakers, but it always comes back to two things (fasting and praying).

Why Did Moses face glow? The apostle had referred to the transient brightness of Moses' face, as a symbol of the passing glory of his ministry. Here he uses the fact that Moses veiled his face as a symbol, in two ways. First, it symbolizes the obscurity of the revelation made under the old dispensation. As the brightness of Moses' face was covered, so spiritual or evangelical truth was previously covered under the types and foreshadowings of the Mosaic system. Why did he cover it when he was out with the people? We use no disguise, "as Moses put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel might not look steadfastly upon the end of that which was to be done away" Why didn’t more people’s face glow in Moses’ time? You could not live and look at God face to face, He is too holy and His power is so mighty, our normal body could not handle that much glory. What’s the difference between the spread of God’s glory in Moses’ time when compared to our own time? The glory of the Lord is not behind that veil any more, when Christ said its over, that veil came down.
