EZEKIEL 3:24

[NKJV] — Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: “Go, shut yourself inside your house. [Ezekiel 3:24]

[FBV] — Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door. [Ezekiel 3:24]

HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND LEARN TO SHUT YOUR DOOR FOR YOU AND HIM ONLY


That falling down of the man of God before the Manifest Presence of God in Glory also meant that the Spirit of God temporarily left him before he fell, but here the Spirit of God repossessed him again and made him stood up before God. Recall he had experienced the same glory of God by the River Chebar, and he also fell and the Spirit of God entered into him and stood him up according to "Ezekiel 2:2." So there was also a repetition of the Spirit of God entering Ezekiel again or more than once, and each time after he fell before the Manifest Presence and Glory of God.

So what happened, as in, did the Spirit of God left him after the first time and then return to enter and possess him the second time?

To explain this, there are measures to how much the Spirit of God dwells and possesses the people of God. And somehow it is related to the task or challenges that man has to bear or perform. If you ask some Christians what the hardest task that requires the greatest infilling of the Holy Spirit and Power? Some may tell you it is Preaching the gospel in the midst of Satan's or enemies greatest strongholds; that's the task that requires the greater measures of the Spirit of God. Some may say it is facing Satan, Antichrist or Death, and still Witnessing as it happened to Stephen the martyred. Some will even say is the resurrection from the dead as the Power of the Lord's Resurrection. Etc.

Behold I tell you when the Spirit of God is required in greater measures in and on a man or woman: It is when standing or dwelling in the manifest Presence and Glory of God. It requires more Holy Spirit and Power to abide the Manifest Presence of God and behold Him, than is required to face Satan or Death. Remember, not even all the Angels in heaven abide or see the Face of God all the time because some of them cannot bear it. But who is Satan to them that they cannot withstand him. So angels who always abide and behold the Face of God are higher, holier and more powerful than others who just assemble to God and then return to their places.

For we human beings, it's the same. Do not think that this level of Holy Spirit possessing me or you right now is enough for me/you to stand and face God when He manifest. There shall be a tremendous increase of the Spirit of God in us to enable us stand face to face with the most indescribable and most fearful Being.

Jesus Christ had all the Holy Spirit without measure while He walked as the Son of God born of the Holy Spirit. But after His resurrection from the Dead, whatever amount of the Holy Spirit the Lord Jesus Christ had was multiplied by Seven to enable Him sit at the Right Hand of God in the same Throne and as God's High Priest. This means, the Lord Jesus has "Seven Spirits of God" on Him, far greater than the amount of the Spirit of God He had when God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and Power and He went about doing good and healing all that were possessed of the devil.

Why Ezekiel had repossession of the Spirit of God again here is because when the manifest Presence of God left him the first time, the extra measure of the Spirit of God also left because he would not be needing that. It's only necessary when a mortal is facing the Consuming Fire and the Almighty God. Even so, there are certain Grace, Power, Extra Measures of the Spirit of God, and Glory, that is only available at the Presence of God; you cannot take them with you when leaving God's Manifest Presence, but as long as you are there in the Manifest Presence of God, you will enjoy those Grace, Power, Extra Measures of the Spirit of God, and Glory, because they never leave the Presence of God. I hope you understand my points.


There was a time I had to proof to some Jehovah's witness evangelists that the Holy Spirit was not just an "Active Force" of God as they proclaimed, but that the Spirit of God was truly a "Person" having His Own Mind and He actually talks or speaks. I cited some bible references where the Spirit of God spoke. He who has ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches: today if you hear the Holy Spirit, do not harden your heart. etc

In the top Bible verse above, the Spirit of God that entered into the man of God, Ezekiel, spoke and instructed him to go into his house and lock his door, shutting everyone else outside. There are people who naturally are introverts, and they lead isolated life, shutting their doors, and cutting off from socialism, so that only them and the Spirit of God would be inside their House-Arrest or Self made prison. There were times I also consider myself as a Prisoner of the Lord as Paul, because I would shut my Gate and my Door, and neighbors outside will not see me for weeks.

People say miracles are on the streets or outside not inside one's closed doors, but I tell you, there are miracles that do take place within "Shut your Door." Elisha said to the late prophet's widow, go get vessels from neighbors but shut your door against those neighbors you collected vessels from; it was within "Shut your Door" that the Anointing was multiplied to fill all the empty vessels within the shut your door. Did I say Anointing was multiplied? Ok use the Oil was multiplied instead.

The first deliverance those angels gave to Lot that last night of Sodom and Gomorrah, was that the Angels pulled Lot into his own house and the Angels themselves shut the door of Lot's house before striking the men outside with blindness that could not find the shutting of door. Is it the Ark of Noah, which God Himself shut the door to keep Noah and his company inside? But sometimes it is not God or Angel that will do the "Shut your Door for you?" And the Spirit of God may instruct you as Ezekiel to go and shut your door, and remain within the shut door. As it is written,

[Isaiah 26:20 TLV] — Go, My people, enter your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide for a little while, until the wrath is past.

[Matthew 6:6 TLV] — But you, when you pray, go into your inner room; and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, shall reward you.
