This Bible passage from the book of Ezekiel, chapter 2, verses 1 and 2 leaves a very confused Christian: "And he said unto me, Son of man, stand thou up, and I will speak with thee. Then the Spirit entered into me, when he spake with me, and set me on my feet, and I heard him speak. "
In much of the Old Testament, the Lord sets prophets to take His Word to the Israelites. Blessed and rebellious people. It was an obedient time and then plunged into idolatry, lies and paganism.
Theologically standing is when one is attuned to the desires of Jesus Christ. As you read the Bible, you feel that God is speaking to you, praising you feel the spiritual atmosphere changing around you and even walking alone in the street, you realize that the angels of the Lord keep you.
Jesus Christ does not speak to anyone without commitment to his Word, for they lie down, prostrate in the arms of the Devil, without offering any reaction when attacked. When a person falls ill it is normal to lie down, because they do not find the strength to remain standing because of the pains in the body.
When we look at the sentry in the barracks, she is not sitting, much less leaning against the wall holding the weapon. He stands with his weapon in his hands and attentive to the probable attack of the enemy. Spiritually the standing Christian is one who pays attention to the Lord's move.
When attending a preaching, pay attention to details, try not to be distracted, because in a short sentence, God can speak something very great and extremely important. When we look at the various books of the Bible, we realize that the Lord always directs His Word to men and women attentive to His will.
