Today God speaks to us in Christ as the place where God meets with man. In Num. 7:89, when Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with God, He heard the voice speaking to him from above the expiation cover that was upon the Ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim, […]
Advancing in our Fellowship with the Lord to be a Companion of God knowing His Heart
Moses was the companion of God, for the Lord spoke to Moses face to face; he was intimate with God, being a person who knew God’s heart and having God’s presence to a full extent. We need to advance in our spiritual life by coming to the Lord as we are and from wherever we […]
