Promise 11 from Numbers 11:25

Numbers 11:25 - "Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again." - I love the intimacy and intentionality of God. He came down to Moses to speak to him. He didn't stay up high to have this booming voice come out of nowhere speak at him. He came down to Moses to speak to him face to face. Moses was hurting, tired and depressed at the time, so God met him where he needed to be, close and intimate. Then God took some of that, which is from the Spirit, off of him and put it on the seventy. But it is interesting that the scripture says He put Him on the seventy. It was Spirit residue that He took off Moses and pasted on the them but it was like He passed the Spirit onto the others while He still remained in Moses. I must ask myself, "Am I positioning myself close enough to others that God can share the Spirit that is in Me with others?" It is interesting in this passage too that a sign that His Spirit was on these elders was that they prophesied. When the Spirit entered them, they got a glimpse of kingdom eyes. It was just a glimpse however, because they didn't prophesy again. God chooses when to give the gifts and when to withhold them. I certainly would be interested in knowing why it was only for that one time. Was it just to encourage Moses by giving him a physical sign that God did what He told Him He would do by filling the leaders with His Spirit so Moses knew he had helpers, supporters and was not going carry the load alone again? It would be a good question to ask later on. The promise here is that God comes and meets us where we are, face to face. He brings others to share our burdens and He pours out His Spirit on those He chooses. Those whom have the Spirit of God on them have kingdom eyes to prophesy those things that God sees. Thank you Lord!
