The Veil Will Be Lifted and You Will See
(7 minutes)
It's so important to stay with the words we're hearing from Abba. We are tempted to move on too quickly and abandon the seed that has been deposited in our hearts. This is why we value reviewing and remembering what we've heard at The Wilderness Place.
"Review is a good thing. Review is how you consume everything and keep it for yourself. Anything that's valuable, you want to stare at until it becomes real in your life. The powerful thing about the words of God is they have a unique ability to change your life. You can't just hear God's word one time and walk away from it and say, 'That was a good word.' We have to hold on to it until it becomes who we are." (Pastor Tim)
We have to be intentional about standing under a word from Abba until we see it established in our own lives. That's how valuable every word from Abba is to us.
“If you've ever wondered how you get freedom in your life, if you've ever wondered how you have the Kingdom of God established in every area of your life, Paul is going to give us the secret to that." (Pastor Tim)
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see. Now, the "Lord" I'm referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever he is Lord, there is freedom. We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)
But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see.
"How many things do we go into believing we have an understanding that is correct and we do not take the time to turn our hearts to the Lord? I've been in danger of this. You know, you've been on the job a little while, you think you understand how things go, you think you know the person you work with. You think you know your spouse. You think you know your kids. And all of a sudden, you start doing life from a place where you think you see, and you never take the time to say, 'I'm going to turn my heart to the Lord and see what He's saying about this.' I'm telling you, your life will be radically different if you take one moment, time out, let me turn my heart to Him and see what He says about this." (Pastor Tim)
When we take a moment to turn to the Lord with an open heart, that's when the veil will be lifted and we can be given the gift of seeing things rightly, from His point of view.
Let's really take the question to heart that Pastor Tim put before us: how many things do we go into believing that we already have an understanding that is correct, so we never take the time to turn our hearts to Abba? Because this scripture tells us that we're not truly seeing from His point of view until we turn to Him with an open heart, willing to lay down our own perspective to inherit His.
The moment we turn to the Lord with an open heart, the veil will be lifted and we will see. This is Abba's promise to us.
There are areas in our lives that we desperately want to see rightly, and there are areas in our lives that we are already convinced we understand. The Spirit of Yahweh desires to be the Lord of them all. And He's inviting us to a place of trust, where we are not ever leaning on our own understanding, but in every single one of our ways we're turning to Him and inquiring of Him so we can inherit His point of view. Until we are fully transformed into the image of Yeshua, only doing what we see Abba doing and only saying what we hear Him saying. The place of perfect union.
