God Encounters: Hot Lips & Holiness

February 6, 2022

Exodus 33:11a NIV
The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his
friend.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 Message
Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the
veil and there they are—face-to- face! They suddenly recognize that God
is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when
God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is
recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and
God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are
transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter
and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.
Isaiah’s encounter:

  • God wants me to have with Him.

Isaiah 6:1 NIV
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated
on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Isaiah 6:2 NIV
Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they
covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they
were flying.

Isaiah 6:3 NIV
And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

  • God uses encounters to me for the better.

Isaiah 6:4 NIV

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the
temple was filled with smoke.

Isaiah 6:5 NIV
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live
among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the
King, the Lord Almighty.”

Isaiah 6:6 NIV
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he
had taken with tongs from the altar. 

Isaiah 6:7 NIV
With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your
lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

  • Every encounter is an for me to make a difference.

Isaiah 6:8 NIV
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who
will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
