Waves Of Glory

Recently I attended a service where the minister spoke of openings, doors and gates in the Spirit for us to enter into the glory of God.  As I was thinking about what he said I was reminded of two dreams I was given by the Lord to reveal to me something about my purpose on earth which I knew was tied to what this man spoke about and as I was meditating on that suddenly I was caught up in the Spirit and saw a wave I had seen in a prior vision several years ago (see below). This wave is a golden peach color encompassing and yet suspended over the earth.  I knew it was a wave of Gods glory that is coming but as I continued to look I also saw on earth a sea wall which is designed to keep the ocean water from getting on land where it is not wanted and the Lord showed me that this is a wall of religious resistance seeking to keep the wave of His glory from going forth to flood the land.  Then I saw that there is not one wave but ‘waves’ coming that will increase in intensity and frequency that will not only flow over this wall of resistance but eventually destroy it. As the waves came forth the water/glory was moving onto the streets and up through buildings and neighborhoods going to the lowest parts first and as it filled these the level began to rise and get deeper and deeper.  Next I saw ships coming after the waves, as I thought about these ships He revealed to me that these are vessels He is sending that can only be transported on the glory just as ships only move on the water. I saw them going through the streets and in between buildings into neighborhoods just like the water. The water/glory is going to move debris, move blockages, move hindrances so it can move forth and the level will increase so there is enough for these ships/vessels to move freely and will travel to places some will say they cannot go. They will say ships never go there but where the glory goes the vessels will go.  I saw wind blowing that is being created by angels to propel the vessels forward on the glory. I saw people rejoicing as these ships came saying, “We have been praying and praying wondering when you would come."  These vessels are people who have been reserved by God for such a time as this.  Vessels that are pure and undefiled to carry provisions of all kinds that have also been reserved for this time.

 

Then I heard the Lord say, “Do not look to the past for your future, do not look to what has been for what is to come, for behold I am doing a new thing you have not heard of before, you have not seen before. Make way, make way, make way, for behold I am coming, I am coming, I am coming.  My ear has not been deaf, My eyes have not been blind My heart has not been hardened but it has been about timing, My timing says the Lord, not your timing.  Do not give up, do not give in, do not stop pressing in for that which has been resisting is weakening and will give way to the waves that are coming.”

The Wings of The Wind

     Recently my family walked through an unexpected crisis with my husbands health. I will probably be sharing on an ongoing basis some of what I have learned as I have walked through this with the Lord. 

     One of the most prominent things I learned is that we have to chose what to look for in a crisis. We can either focus on the enemy or we can focus on what God is doing in the midst of it. Fortunately for us we chose the latter and found God at every turn.  It may seem like the darkness is overcoming us and I don't think we are to ignore the presence of it in the midst of what we may be experiencing, but there is light and the more we focus on that, the brighter and brighter it will become. We can be victorious or we can be defeated, that will depend on what we chose to exalt in our crisis.  We can exalt Jesus and the truth, or we can exalt the situation and our feelings. God has given us the ability to chose the former, but He won't chose for us.

     Out of that I have learned that when we find God in the midst of our storm not only does he reveal himself to us but he reveals himself through us as well.  We talk all the time of His power being made perfect in our weakness yet at times despise what he allows in order for his power to be seen.   We often refer to going through trouble as being in a storm which usually involves wind sometimes very strong hurricane force winds at that. The word says......  He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.  (Psalm 104:3) it  also says He has His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. (Nahum 1:3) but do we really believe that? If I had any doubt before I don't any longer after what we have witnessed.

     For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4: 6-7

     We have to quit despising our humaness, it is the way He has chosen to reveal the light of the knowledge of His glory in Christ to those still in darkness.

Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27

My Glory or Gods Glory?

Matthew 16:24 If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

 

As long as my glory is more important to me than Gods glory I will be of no use to Him. My interest in my own glory will always cause me to sympathize with myself in whatever unfavorable situation I may be in at the time. When His glory becomes our desire and passion, immediately a measure of surrender comes that is otherwise unattainable. The greater the surrender, the greater the measure of His power. It depends on who's glory we truly seek. We can seek our own glory and live by our own power, or choose His glory and live by His power. It is our choice.

The Glory Of The Lord

     During praise and worship today listening to a song called “I Have Found” this particular verse stood out to me that says “let your glory rain down, let your glory rain down, let your glory rain down and cover us, cover us.” As I heard the words I saw Gods people on the earth and His glory enveloping them and becoming a shield protecting them from the darkness that is seeking to cover the earth and its people. As I continued in worship I could feel the burden of the Lord for His people and His desire to protect us and prepare us for the things ahead. I was reminded of the following scripture:

2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

But what was impressed upon me is that humbling ourselves and seeking His face isn’t just about crying out because of our condition and how desperately we need Him to intervene, but also about praising Him and worshipping Him for who He is. Have you noticed if you watch too much news about what is going on in the world you can become very heavy hearted, I have to the point that I really limit how much of it I listen to.  But equally so when you focus on God and His power that is displayed throughout all of His creation it puts things in proper perspective, and in the times we are living in now, it is essential that we maintain proper perspective.

     We must praise the God whose name we claim, we must worship the God whose name we claim, we must be boldly unashamed of the God whose name we claim. As we praise Him and worship Him His face is turned toward us and His glory will be released not just from above, but from inside of us as well.  As the scripture says in Colossians 1:27 “Christ in you, the hope of glory”. We must be people who not only carry His presence but are clothed in His glory as the Presence we carry inside is released through our praise and worship. We must seek Him based on who He is, what He has done and what He has promised to do. Yes, darkness is coming, we can already feel it, but the greatest days of the Church are coming as well.

Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

What a relevant scripture for the days in which we are living and what a word of encouragement to us as children of God. Jesus said we are the light of the world. We are to let our light shine. We praise you Jesus, the King of Glory!!!! You can listen to the song, just click below.

God Is Love

This has been weighing in my spirit all week, that the greatest manifestation of Gods glory through us is His love. It is what He is and is the motivating force behind everything He does.

The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lords unconditional, unfailing love through those who belong to Him. I honestly believe this is the highest and greatest manifestation of Gods glory on the earth and the one to which He is bringing the church before the return of Christ. Jesus said, it is by your love that they will know you are my disciples. Not by your gifts, not by your material possessions, not by your money, your cars, or even the size of your church, but by our love. Wow!

The heavens declare the glory of God. Without everything in the universe being placed and orchestrated to such precision as scientists are now finding out, the existence of man upon the earth would be impossible. Yes the heavens declare His unfathomable love for us without question.

Isaiah 60:1-2 says, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will arise over you and His glory will be seen on you.

The greater the measure of the knowledge of Gods love for us the greater the measure of His glory will be seen. God is love and he who dwells in love dwells in God and God in Him. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

God will fill the earth with the knowledge of His love through His church which is the body of Christ.
