The Lord filled the house
"So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house" (Ezekiel 43:5 KJV). Imagine seeing the glory of the Lord fill our homes, schools, and workplaces. Wouldn't that be powerful? God is willing to show Himself to us all, but first we must be willing vessels for His glory to shine through. The Lord came to Ezekiel and told Him to go speak to the children of Israel and let them know about their transgressions, on the how far they had fallen from the Lord. They had broken His covenant and fell into idolatries, allowing themselves to be overcome by darkness. Ezekiel was not looking for popularity nor was he waiting for a paycheck, but he did the will of God. In doing so, we will not be popular or highly spoken about because as a vessel of God we will speak against darkness, sin, and the works of the flesh. In verse 10, God sends Ezekiel to speak to the house. "Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern" (Ez. 43:10). God used this prophet to speak to his children about the whoredom and wickedness they brought into their lives and the temple of God. God is willing to show up in His glory to those who are willing to speak up in the name of Jesus Christ. He's looking for that one person who has put themselves aside, allowing the Holy Spirit to saturate them in God's presence. It takes a willing vessel to be used by God. God bless you. Amen
