11-3-07 Malachi 3:1
Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.
Malachi 3:1 (NLT)
Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming," says the LORD Almighty.
When Adonai wishes to speak to His people, many times He will send messengers or representatives. These ambassadors are to clear the way for the Lord and turn His people back to Him. You have been called to represent Jehovah, directing and leading others to Him. You tread with them to the throne of God and bring them before His face.
As you seek His face, the Lord shall suddenly come to His temple. Do not be surprised when He attacks your enemies. He has the power to prevail over and defeat them. He will cause you to endure, gain ground, and accomplish much in His name. He will give you the strength and the ability to be victorious.
You will reach the heights that Adonai has prepared for you, for the Lord your God has sent His messenger to establish His covenant with you. He has made a treaty and agreement with you. First He gave you a new birth and now He is forming and fashioning you into something new. Your life has been transformed and you delight and take pleasure in the will of God. It pleases you to move or bend in whatever way He directs.
As the Lord of Hosts has spoken, so has it been accomplished. What He commanded, promised, and intended has come to pass
