Christianity provides a great vision of life that enriches everyone who engages in it. But walking with God is more than a great way to do life. There’s something deeper going on!
“I’ll take some of the Spirit that is on you and place it on them, they’ll then be able to take some of the load of this people. God came down in a cloud and spoke to Moses and took some of the Spirit that was on him and put on the seventy leaders. When the Spirit rested on them they prophesied. Meanwhile to men, Eldad and Medad, had stayed in the camp. They were listed as leaders but didn’t leave camp to go to the Tent. Still, the Spirit rested on them and they prophesied in the camp..” Numbers 11:17,25-26
Moses was getting tired and finding it hard to trust that God would provide for such a large people in such a barren place and get them into the promised land. So God told him to have the 70 leaders assemble in the meeting tent, and once there God implanted a part of the same Spirit He had placed in Moses into those men by divine act. Their hearts became so filled that they started speaking like Moses did; the words of God literally poured out of them. Even the leaders who didn’t make it to the tent had it happen to them. It was truly an inward spiritual miracle. There is an important truth for us in this story. Our faith will get tired at times. God’s answer to this is to pour His Spirit into us and to flank us with others who hear the Spirit too. Walking with God is MORE THAN A PHILOSOPHY! ~Verlon
