read how God punished the priests who entered into the idolatry of the people by banning
them from His presence. In contrast, God is telling this family who has refused the idolatry
and way of life of those around them, that they will always have a man to stand before Him.
What an awesome promise.
This same promise remains for all those of God’s children who will similarly choose
the pursuit of Him over the pursuit of the world. By having our backs permanently turned
toward the world, we are able to proceed into the temple, into the presence of God. As the
Bride embraces the cross, dying to the world and its allure, she advances toward the
promised place of habitation with God.
This is the joy of the Bride, to hear the Father say, “You will stand before Me, always.”
We are called to be a peculiar people. We are the people of God’s own possession and He
becomes our possession, our inheritance. In this, the prayer of Yahshua is fulfilled, that we
would be one (John 17). Christ is in God and we are in Christ. We are one with each other.
A call is going out to the saints of God today. Wake up Church! Wake up to that which
is being offered to you! Wake up to that which you are in peril of forfeiting! Friendship with
the world is enmity with Christ (James 4:4). Flee the bondage of attachment to the world.
Flee into the arms of your coming Bridegroom.
