[size=18]WATCH YOUR COUNTENANCE

And the Lord said to Moses,
Say to Aaron and his sons, this is the way
you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them,
The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you
and be gracious ( kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
The Lord lift up His [ approving] countenance upon you
and give you peace ( tranquility of heart and life continually).
Numbers 6:22-26

Jesus' countenance was changed on the mountain as He was transfigured. Our countenance is simply the way we look. It refers to our face. In the church today we need to be concerned about our countenance.
One of the blessings that was pronounced upon God's people was that God's face would shine upon them and that He would lift up His countenance upon them.
When the world looks at us, they need to see something about that is different from them. They can't read our minds or see into our hearts, so our countenance is the only way we can show them that we have something they do not have but really want and need.
When Jesus began to pray and commune with god the Father, His countenance was changed, and we need the same thing to happen to us.

it is important what our countenance is like. It is important the look we have on our face at work. It is important the voice tone we use with our family at home. It is important that we smile at one another, that we are pleasant and just downright nice to each other.
I believe that we look better when we worship God. Worship puts a smile on our face. It is very hard to keep a scowl on our face while we are being thankful, praising and worshiping God. If we regularly do these things, our countenance will carry His Presence, not the _expression of inner frustration and turmoil.
Perhaps we need to take a course in what I call "faceology." We need to spend more time worshiping God, then our face would carry His glory.
Christians are supposed to be joyful people who walk in love. We must ask ourselves, "Would people know that I am a Christian by looking at my countenance most of the time?" I remember once when I was part of a conference in Florida. I walked into a building in the morning and proceeded down a corridor, when a woman spoke to me. I said hello in response to her greeting, and she said, " I can tell you have been with Jesus."
She was right. I had spent a long time that morning in prayer and fellowship with the Lord, preparing for the teaching I would do that day. How could she tell I had been with Jesus? Something about my countenance let her know. Perhaps I looked happy and satisfied, or peaceful. I don't know exactly what she saw, but something about the look on my face let her know Who I was spending my time with.

MY GOODNESS..... GOD HAS BEEN WORKING ON ME WITH THIS ONE....I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH MY COUNTENANCE BECAUSE I CAN BE SO OBVIOUS AT TIMES WHEN I GET UPSET...I WAS SO FAR IN DENIAL THAT I COULD NOT SEE MYSELF UNTIL I SEEN SOMEONE ELSE IN THE ACT OF DOING. THE LORD WILL SHOW YOU YOURSELF THROUGH ANOTHER PERSON'S ACTION. WE AS CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE SET APART AND BE AN EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD AND IF WE'RE NOT DIFFERENT THEN THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THE WORLD !!! AMEN!! LORD HELP ME TO BECOME A BETTER SERVANT AND SET ME APART FROM ANYTHING THAT WILL HINDER ME AND MISS WHAT YOU MAY HAVE FOR ME...

yes, help me too Lord!

Father in the precious Name of Jesus; let our countenances express and reflect to others outwardly what YOU have done and are yet doing in our lives inwardly. Help us to embrace from the heart (from within ourselves) Your process, so that even in our expressions we can testify that we have truely embraced YOUR WILL FOR OUR LIVES. IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

And they have built out of thee the wastes of old, The foundations of many generations thou raisest up, And one calleth thee, 'Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in. Isaiah 58:12 (YLT) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. Job 22:28 (KJV) Follow me on Twitter @thaprophetic
