Promise 7 from Leviticus 9:5-6
Lev. 9:5-6 - "So they took what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole congregation came near and stood before the Lord. Moses said, 'This is the thing which the Lord has commanded you to do, that the glory of the Lord may appear to you!'" - After Aaron and his sons spent 7 days in anticipation waiting for the Lord to show up, then He appeared to them. At that point the congregation got to join in and stand in His presence and His glory. The Holy Spirit works in us individually and draws us closer to the Lord, but He also works through us corporately in drawing others to the Lord when we are obedient in relationship to Him individually, and we have "no issues." When there is nothing "pressing" to be dealt with between us and the Lord then the Power of the Spirit increases within us, which then positions us to draw others into His presence and glory. Bill Johnson from Bethel church Redding, CA says, "Public battles are won only after the private ones are." When there is nothing else left to distract us regarding our own righteousness before the Lord, then it frees us up to see clearer how the Lord is working in the lives of others. As we remain in His presence and glory, then others will be drawn to that as well. They will see the freedom that righteousness brings and the peace and joyful results that living in the presence of the Lord yields. Others will be drawn into His presence once we find a comfortable place in it ourselves.
