26Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. 27And, a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28And Joshua, the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, stop them.” 29But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!” 30And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp. ~ Numbers 11:26-30
Isn’t this us today? We get envious because someone else is doing great things in the Church and we try to discredit them. We doubt where it comes from. Or if we don’t understand why God gave them a gift that we feel they shouldn’t have or anyone should have, we doubt. We try to stop them. We try to shut them up. We try to quiet the spirit all because we do not understand. Because we don’t get it.
We get this false humility that tries to weaken the Church, but what we don’t understand is that God wants the Church to be strong. God wants His Spirit to rest upon all of us. He wants to use all of us. Why? Because that’s how He shows His glory. We are God’s biggest threat. Why? Because we are the only ones that can limit Him.
We limit Him with doubt. The lack of faith. Fear. False humility. A Judgmental Spirit. The lack of prayer. The lack of understanding. The lack of fasting. The lack of trust. The lack of belief. We limit God. We would have a much different world if we wouldn’t limit and hold back God. If we submitted to Him fully.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Submit.
