The Cloud

Numbers 9
Verse 17 -18 "Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp. In this way, they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command wherever he told them to go. Then they remained in their camp as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle."

They followed the cloud, the cloud represented the presence of the Lord. They traveled and settled at the Lord's command. This is a picture of a spirit led life, we as believers in Jesus Christ should travel and settle at the Lord's command. Our lives should be cloud led not storm driven, to many times we make decisions that are driven by the storms of life, we react and respond to the wind and waves of life instead of following the cloud of Gods Spirit. As we learn from and lean on the Holy Spirit we move into a different realm of life. A realm that operates above this world and it's systems, a realm of life that releases and established the dominion of God in our lives and culture.

Once you understand what moves you, you begin to understand why you are moving in a specific direction. Storm driven Christians are always on the wrong path moving in the wrong direction because they respond to life out of fear and reason. But cloud led Christians are on the right path and are moving in the right direction because they are following the Holy Spirit. They are being led by the direction of God, His Word, His Spirit and the Body of Christ are directing them and the Cloud becomes the guiding force of their lives.
