Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them. Afterward all the children of Israel came near and he gave them as commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded.
And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone, and then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him. Exodus34:29-35 (NKJV)

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold; we are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it, while the radiance was fading away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But when any one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
Now the Lord is the spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom, and we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever in creating glory, which come from the Lord who is the spirit. 2Corinthians 3:12-18 (NIV)

WHAT IS A VEIL?
A veil is an obstruction to clear vision. It is something that covers one's eyes from seeing and one's face from shinning. A veil is that which covers the beauty and glory of God in a man's life. It is that which when it covers us, we may hear but not understand neither what God says nor where He leads. A veil is that which plunges a man into obscurity leaving him in confusion and dilemma, physical, spiritual and economic stagnation.

When a man is under a veil he cannot undergo a process of transformation for those who transform, do so with an open face. The bible says in 2Cor3:18 but we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the spirit of the Lord.
So many people in our Churches today are not transformed, not because the word of God they hear is not sound enough but because they have knowingly or unknowingly refused to allow the word of God to unmask them .When a veil is lying over a man's heart, it will be impossible for the heart to absorb the light of God's word and to reflect it.
God is not interested in entertaining masquerades in the Churches: He is rather interested in unmasking or unveiling them, and changing them into new creations to His own glory.2 Cor.5:17

A veil is that which gives a man a form of godliness but denies the power there of. 2Tim 3:5 A veil is that which turns a religious leader into a blind guide: the bible says if a blind man leads a blind man, two of them will fall into a pit.Notice that it was when Moses turned to the Lord that the veil was removed; and when he turned to the people the veil fell back on his face.

When a spiritual leader turns to the multitude of the people and depends on them for guidance and direction, a veil cover his face but when he turns to the Lord the veil is removed.
Whenever we look unto men as our examples and solution to our problems the door closes and the miracle disappears; but when we turn to the Lord and look unto the hills from where our help comes, our help will come from the Lord who made the heaven and the earth. Ps121:1-2.

When we turn to the arms of the flesh thinking we can make it by power or by might, a veil covers our face, but when we look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, the veil is removed.
David said I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:18.

We have to set the Lord always before our eyes and let every other thing be seen through his face because whenever a man turns to the Lord the veil is taken away.
The problem with man is not that he doesn't turn but that he turns to too many things that cannot lift the veil off his heart and face.

When we turn to the catalogue of our past hurts offenses, disappointments and failures matters become worse but when we turn to our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble; we will not fear, even when it looks like the whole earth is being removed and the mountains carried into the midst of the sea. David turned to the Lord in distress and the Lord heard him from His holy hill. Job turned to the Lord in his affliction and received a double fold restoration. Ezra turned to the Lord for divine protection against the enemies's ambush and was heard. Just to mention but few. No matter what you are going through right now, you too could turn to the Lord and be delivered.

There is a veil over every man's heart and face which can only be taken away when they turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. Turning to the Lord requires a deliberate abandoning of a man's intellectual reasoning and turning to him by faith for without faith it is impossible to please God; and whosoever must turn to Him, must first of all believe that He exists and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. Heb.11:6

It also means acknowledging God in all your ways for Him to direct your steps Prov3:6, this should be an every second, minute, hour and day by day experience.
It does not matter how many times you have turned to the Lord in the time past and the miraculous open doors you received, I assure you that even now if you will turn to the Lord again you will have greater open doors for when ever a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

If you have not known Jesus Christ the son of the living God as your Lord and personal savior, a veil is still covering your heart and eyes. It is only in Him the veil is removed. 2Cor3:12-18.
Receive Him today and blessed as you do so in the name of Jesus Christ... Amen!
