[The Glory Unveiled]
But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” ( Genesis 3:9 )
_Positions matter to God as much as locations. So God would tell Abraham to go to a place He would show him to sacrifice his only son. He lured Moses to a definite place; a sacred place in the mountains where He (God) can carry out His dealings with Him. In another place He instructs His children to come out from among the heathen and be separated unto Him. There is a definite place in the spirit atmosphere where the signal of God is strong and fellowship is carried out without stress. The Samaritan woman in a dialogue with Jesus would argue that a location (temple) was prescribed for meeting God. But in the reconstruction of the temple through the body of Jesus, we will discover a new location and position for our interactions with God; a new path created in Christ. Adam’s response to God when God asked Adam where He was, meant that God wasn’t asking for his geographical location. If it was a matter of geography, Adam wouldn’t have spoken of “hiding” and “fear”. The command was that the day you eat of this fruit, you shall die. So it means that when God came into the atmosphere of man, He “could not sense” Adam’s life. He had died spiritually. It were as if Adam and Eve had been deleted from the spiritual atmosphere of God. So that God would ask where they were in that regards. Were they on His side or the devil’s, were they in glory or outside it? Today, the question to us also is this, where are we in the agenda of God?
