Numbers 12: 5-8
And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forth. And He said, "Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses, is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold. Wherefore, were ye not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?"
This story of Moses, Aaron and Miriam is a lesson for all of us from the LORD. We are NEVER to speak against GOD'S anointed. There are severe consequences for speaking against the leadership, who have been placed by GOD to lead the people of GOD. Moses was faithful to GOD. He was not perfect, but He was faithful. GOD used him to lead the people of GOD and he was obedient. For this obedience and faith, GOD spoke to Moses "plainly" "mouth to mouth". But to Aaron and Miriam, GOD spoke through the prophets, in dreams and visions also known as "dark speeches". Aaron and Miriam had shut themselves off from GOD through their disobedience.
GOD values obedience and faithfulness in us all, He rewards those virtues with His ever deepening relationship. He gives His instructions and plans to those who love Him so much, that they will follow Him anywhere. When we are focused on serving GOD in everything we do, GOD reveals Himself fully and completely. The opposite is true of those who are unfaithful and disobedient, due to their lack of trust and love of the LORD. These souls will receive the Word of the LORD through prophets and sages, until they repent and turn to the LORD.
The LORD desires a heart to heart relationship with us. He desires to speak to us "mouth to mouth", but He will communicate through prophets, sages, His Holy Scripture and books until such time as the soul yields to JESUS.
LEAN ON JESUS; LEARN FROM HIM; TRUST IN HIM; OBEY HIM; HE WILL SHARE HIS HEART WITH YOU.
