The undeniable Laws of Life

The Law of Divine Intervention

Divine intervention is the sovereignty of God interrupting our daily lives.

“And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses” [Exodus 33:9]. Moses prepared a special place where he could meet with God and the Lord honoured this by speaking to Moses “face to face, as a man speaks to his friend” [verse 11].

If you wish to meet with God face to face, or if you would like God interrupt your life [as and when it pleases Him], then you too must prepare a special place for His presence to manifest. Under the Law, God’s divine presence could never take up permanent residency in the human heart. But under the Law of Grace the Lord God Almighty abides in all believers. Therefore, the tabernacle of meeting you must prepare is in your heart.

Moses had erected a sort of portable, small-scale place of worship for special times of intimate communion with God. But he placed it a great distance from the camp because of the desecration caused by the moulded calf the people had chosen to worship. They had practised idolatry, and by doing so, defiled the camp, so Moses could not worship or meet with God anywhere near that location. The same attitude must be applied to your heart. It must be free [and distanced] from all things that can defile the Most Holy place of meeting; the very place where you can worship God in spirit and in truth.

God does want to intervene and visit with you, but He cannot manifest His divine presence where any form of idolatry has been practised. The Law of Divine Intervention is dependent on you having prepared a sanctified location for God to occupy.

It’s a place where righteousness responds to righteousness, and not holiness to flesh, which is totally unacceptable. 1 Peter 1:15 says, “But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in your conduct, because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy’.” God want’s you to be just like His Son Jesus, but He also wants to be able to visit you anytime He wishes. This means that you should always have a holy place of meeting - a tabernacle - prepared for Him.
