​Have You Put Away the Natural / Fleshly king to make room for the spiritual King?
 
Isaiah 6:1
When King Uzziah died, the Prophet (Young) Isaiah was privileged to see a vision of the Lord on His throne, High and lifted up and His train did fill the temple. It is not a coincidence that the prophet was shown that vision after the death of that king. King Uzziah was king chosen by God to be head of the Lord’s chosen people, Israel. He loved the Lord and he had a great start with his responsibilities, but he became comfortable in his power and his authority and failed to stay in his appointed place and his role as the one in authority. He abused his power. He abused his authority. He refused to listen to reason and to the sound counsel of the priests. Pride was present and the Lord threw it down. It could not stand in the midst of his chosen. The pride had to die, and it was then that the Lord was able to take residence completely and fill the temple and the weight of his glory was so great no one could stand in it. The flesh had to yield. Yield so that the Lord can be glorified!!
