Jesus said that some would not die before seeing the kingdom of God. Rom 14:17 says that the kingdom of God is righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of came in the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given that now He may live inside us and transform us from the inside out to be righteous, to rejoice always and to be at peace at all times.
He took John, Peter and James and went to pray and as He was praying He got transfigured and Moses and Elijah appeared and talked with Him.
God is able to transform us and change our lives and our hearts if we diligently seek Him. You don't have to be a slave of anything, any bad character, bitterness, anger, fear, ..... seek God to free you and He will set you free.
Moses and Elijah appeared talking to Him about what He must suffer to bring redemption. Thus, it is also in the place of prayer that God shows us His plan for our lives.
Are you in darkness concerning anything in your life? Seek God in prayer and He'll give you light. He'll tell you what to do, He'll guide you in His paths.
The disciples had been overcome with sleep and when they awoke and saw the glory, Peter said that they should build 3 tabanacles, one for Jesus, Moses and Elijah and immediately a crowd overshadowed them.
Moses and Elijah were God's faithful servant but Peter placing in the same level with Jesus was wrong. A crowd came. Even today, no matter how God uses any servant of His to bless you, if you adore Him and give all your attention to Him placing Him in the same level with Jesus, a crowd will always come in your heart and your spiritual growth will be stunted. It's good to honour God's faithful servants
Listen to the messengers, but do not hold
men’s persons in admiration or adulation
For many who shall anoint mightily with
signs and miracles shall become lifted up and shall fall by the wayside. If a servant backslides and your eyes were on Him, you'll also backslide with them but instead keep your eyes fixed wholly on your Lord. Our admiration should be on Jesus. Let our eyes see Jesus only.
Many are like bright lights and
the people delight in them and their ministries many shall fall because they become proud and think that they are very important people. They take credit for what God does through them and now God who was supporting them in the beginning begins to oppose them and they lose the grace of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. They once blessed the people of God but now they are misleading them. There are so many examples of such around us and that is why we need to carefully and diligently seek God seek to know God by yourself.
God makes provision so that we might stand if we humble ourselves and learn to acknowledge that what we have or what God through us it is Him alone who does it. We must learn to never take credit for anything that God does for us or through us and we must never think that we are such important people. God who once accepted us can reject us like Saul and choose another and His work will continue wonderfully without us. Let us therefore serve God humbly with reverence and Godly fear for our God is a consuming fire. Heb 12:29
A voice came from Heaven and said, this is my beloved Son, Listen to Him. It the same thing God is telling us today. Learn to listen to Jesus, look unto Him and see His beauty and glory and admire Him. Follow Him and don't allow yourself to be distracted.
They were left alone and they ent down the mountain the following day and they met the crowd. Our mountain top experiences are to make us a blessing to people down the mountain.
You are blessed to be a blessing
