Cave Adullam

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ : how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

There's something that happens when we spend time at the feet of the Master. Those beautiful feet have a power! Those feet of fine brass can change the way we walk, the paths we take! They can straighten our walk and tenderize our hearts. The heart can now approach God with soft and tender but straight steps. Our ways will no longer be crooked! This is the trait found in men who can stand in His presence. Such hearts are difficult to find, but all who possessed such a treasure had developed the practice of spending time at His feet!

The soul of man tires and labors diligently for the glories of this world. As nice as that might sound to the average person, these glories perish along with the man pursuing them. Some even perish sooner. But there's something wonderful that man should labor for! This glory transcends this present world and continues into the world to come, the world of God!

We as people of God must be properly equipped for the work of the ministry. This work of ministering to God must continue until we mature into perfection. This process of maturity takes place so that we would no longer remain children but we would become sons of our Father in heaven perfectly fit and joined to the Head - Christ Jesus.

This means that all Christians should be spiritually perfected for the work of the ministry so that God's plans and purposes are realized on this earth. This perfection(salvation) starts with the new birth where the spirit of the christian is saved. Salvation must then continue with the soul of man as the christian leaves childhood for the maturity of sonship. The salvation of the christian climaxes with the physical body of the christian being fully redeemed!

Many times, we hear of great outpourings of the Holy Spirit that God brought on the earth while working with great intercessors. We see this and think that the route is to simply emulate the outward prayer life that is published and seen by all the people. However, we must understand that the visible or tangible power that would manifest on the outside of the bride of Christ (that the Spirit is raising through and for the outpouring of the latter rain) is only a tiny portion of the deep closet life that they would have developed. Their beds of intimacy with Jesus are fresh and ever green. Their true and sincere focus is deep intimacy and fellowship to know God. Its on this bed of intimacy that spots, blemishes, wrinkles, idols and Satan himself are all killed!
