NATURE OF THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Part 7<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

December 16, 2022<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The whole concept of Glory is one pretty much lost on the world\r\nof today.\u00a0 <\/span>People have become so\r\nrational, so academically-minded, so concerned with human logic that the\r\nthought of some tangible \u2013 and yet inexplicable \u2013 visible presence manifesting\r\non a person gets lost in the translation.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Peter describes the manifestation of the Spirit of Glory as\r\nbeing the product of the <\/span><\/b>onoma<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u2013 the\r\ncharacter, the makeup, the personality, the very essence of \u2013 the Lord Jesus\r\nChrist evidenced <\/span><\/b>in us.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

More\r\nthan that, the Spirit of Glory comes with the anointing.\u00a0 <\/span>Peter specifically uses the expression, <\/span>\u201cIf\r\nyou are reproached for the <\/span>onoma -<\/span><\/i><\/b>of\r\nthe Anointed One and His anointing\u2026..\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

That\r\nanointing is somewhat akin to a mantle.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>You\u2019ll recall our discussion some weeks back concerning Elijah and\r\nElisha, and the mantle of Elijah that he threw over Elisha.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here\r\nis an instance of the use of the word \u201cmantle\u201d in Scripture which is separate and\r\ndistinct from every other use.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nHebrew word which occurs ONLY in I Kings 19 and II Kings 2 where it is\r\ntranslated \u201cmantle\u201d is the word, \u2018addereth<\/span><\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Although\r\nthis word could be translated out as \u201csplendid robe\u201d or \u201cgoodly garment\u201d its\r\nproper rendering is \u201cglorious splendor.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\r\nIS a covering garment of a type, but the word \u2018addereth<\/span><\/i><\/b>denotes\r\nthe addition of special recognition, someone of renown, someone set apart for\r\nsome kingly duty or commission.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In\r\nfact, it designated the unique anointing that was upon Elijah.\u00a0 <\/span>He \u2013 among all of the Old Testament prophets\r\n\u2013 became the prototype of the miracle-working prophet.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When\r\nthat anointing and mantle was passed to Elisha and he received the\r\n\u201cdouble-anointing,\u201d the Glory of God was so marked upon him that not one single\r\nperson ever questioned his commissioning from God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Glory rested upon Elijah and doubly manifested on Elisha.\u00a0 <\/span>There was a presence on them that was so\r\nstrong it brought fear to the enemies of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\r\nhave previously noted that the Seven Spirits of God occupy the Throne of God \u2013\r\nthat they are in fact the essence of Who He is.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When\r\nGod fulfilled His promise to Hannah and Samuel was born, she lifted up her\r\nvoice in praise and worship.\u00a0 <\/span>As she\r\nworshiped the Lord, she prophesied.\u00a0 <\/span>Here\r\nis a portion of her prophecy:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I Samuel 2:7-10<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and\r\nlifteth up.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and<\/i> lifteth up\r\nthe beggar from the dunghill, to set them<\/i> among princes, and to make\r\nthem inherit the Throne of Glory<\/u>: for the pillars of the earth are<\/i>\r\nthe LORD\u2019S, and he hath set the world upon them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be\r\nsilent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of\r\nheaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth;\r\nand he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Everything\r\nthat Hannah prophesies is a small picture of how the Spirit of Glory operates\r\nand manifests.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Samuel\u2019s\r\nmentor was the High Priest Eli.\u00a0 <\/span>Without\r\ngetting into the whole story, the Philistines raided Shiloh, in the process\r\ntaking the Ark of the Covenant.\u00a0 <\/span>During\r\nthe battle that ensued, Hophni and Phinehas, Eli\u2019s two sons, were killed.\u00a0 <\/span>When Eli received the news that his sons had\r\nbeen killed, it provoked a reaction in him, but when he heard that the Ark of\r\nthe Covenant had been stolen, he fell backward breaking his neck on the\r\ngate.\u00a0 <\/span>Phinehas\u2019 wife was just giving\r\nbirth to their son when the news of Phinehas\u2019 death was brought to her.\u00a0 <\/span>She named their son, Ichabod.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I Samuel 4:21-22<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed\r\nfrom Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law\r\nand her husband. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of\r\nGod is taken.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\r\nwas a striking event.\u00a0 <\/span>Because of the\r\nsins of Israel, and because of the sins of Eli\u2019s two sons which he had done\r\nnothing to stop, God permitted the Ark of His presence to be removed from the\r\nnation of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hannah\r\nhad prophesied that the Spirit of Glory was the defense of God\u2019s people.\u00a0 <\/span>When the Ark was taken, the Spirit of Glory\r\ndeparted from Israel and they were left defenseless.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Not\r\nuntil David retrieved the Ark of the Covenant and established it in a simple\r\ntabernacle atop Mount Zion in the midst of Jerusalem did the Spirit of Glory\r\nreturn to Israel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

David\u2019s\r\n33 years of nonstop praise and worship in Israel set the stage for the Temple\r\nto be built by Solomon.\u00a0 <\/span>At the\r\ndedication of the Temple almost 40 years to the day from the ushering in of\r\nDavid\u2019s Tabernacle, the Spirit of Glory manifested Himself in a way Israel had\r\nnever seen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

II Chronicles 5:11-14<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>And it came to pass,\r\nwhen the priests were come out of the holy place<\/i>: (for all the priests that\r\nwere<\/i> present were sanctified, and<\/i> did not then<\/i> wait by\r\ncourse: <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Also the Levites which were<\/i> the singers, all of them of\r\nAsaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being<\/i>\r\narrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the\r\neast end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding\r\nwith trumpets:) <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were<\/i>\r\nas one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and\r\nwhen they lifted uptheir<\/i> voice with the trumpets and cymbals and\r\ninstruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying<\/i>, <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For he is<\/i> good; for his mercy endureth<\/i> for ever:\r\nthat then<\/i> the house was filled with a cloud, even<\/i> the house of\r\nthe LORD; <\/span>14<\/span><\/sup>So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of\r\nthe cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God<\/u>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In\r\nevery instance where we see \u201cGlory\u201d represented throughout the Word, we see a\r\nweighty presence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Most\r\nof us have seen folks get \u201cslain in the Spirit.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>This is a rather trite expression, but what\r\nhappens is that when the Spirit of Glory manifests Himself, there is a weight\r\nthat comes with it which prevents people from standing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

For\r\nat least the last 60 years, I\u2019ve seen more folks than I can count go down under\r\nthe power of God.\u00a0 <\/span>Because I\u2019ve also seen\r\nthe phony acts of people who were putting on a show for their own reasons, I\u2019ve\r\nresisted this with every ounce of my being.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At\r\nthe last conference Della and I attended in Red Deer with Steven Shelley, Paul\r\nKeith Davis, Bobby Connor and Charlie Robinson, there was no amount of\r\nresistance that could keep me standing.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>I was down and couldn\u2019t get up.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>The weight of the presence of the Spirit of Glory was such that I simply\r\nhad no power to get up; and I stayed there on the floor until He lifted that\r\nweight from me.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When\r\nthe Lord took me to Heaven and I was ushered into the Throne Room, the Spirit\r\nof Glory was so powerful that I fell flat on my face.\u00a0 <\/span>I was unable to get up or stand to my feet\r\nfor some unknown period of time.\u00a0 <\/span>Two\r\nvery large angels picked me up, carried me out and stood me on my feet.\u00a0 <\/span>Until they did so, I had no strength in\r\nmyself whatever.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/span>There is another picture of this in II\r\nChronicles.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

II Chronicles 7:1-3<\/span><\/u><\/b>: <\/span>Now\r\nwhen Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and\r\nconsumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD\r\nfilled the house.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD,\r\nbecause the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD\u2019S house.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down,\r\nand the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their\r\nfaces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying<\/i>,\r\nForhe is<\/i> good; for his mercy endureth<\/i> forever.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here\r\nis an instance where we see the Spirit of Judgment and Burning manifest Himself\r\nwith the Spirit of Glory.\u00a0 <\/span>Notice that\r\nthe fire came first; and then the Glory followed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It\r\nis a picture of what is happening in us and in the Body of Christ today.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As\r\nwe\u2019ve already noted, the Spirit of Glory is the last to appear in the list of\r\nthe Seven Spirits of God.\u00a0 <\/span>The Spirit of\r\nJudgment and Burning is the first named in Scripture.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Consider\r\nthe sequence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Judgment and Burning begins the work of cleanup and restoration on\r\nthose who will respond to the total and complete rulership of the Lord in their\r\nlives.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Wisdom and Understanding (Revelation) come next to bring us needed\r\nrevelation of the character, the nature, the makeup and the personality of the\r\nLord Jesus Christ as the standard by which we are to be measured.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Counsel and Might enters the ongoing processes in our lives to bring\r\ncounsel, guidance and direction, and establish the boundaries of safety for our\r\nwalk with the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Knowledge and the Fear of the Lord commences to create within us that\r\nnecessary awe and reverence of the Lord, and make us Holy and without blemish\r\nbefore God.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\nthe Spirit of Grace and Supplications goes to work in earnest.\u00a0 <\/span>He\u2019s already been at work in our lives, but\r\nour focus now is the Covenant-relationship with have with the Father through\r\nthe Lord Jesus Christ.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Access to our\r\nCovenant-privileges, rights and responsibilities comes into focus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Because\r\nof our contamination by the world around us, the contamination that comes\r\nthrough religion, through the influence of the myriad of voices about us, and\r\nthrough a host of other sources, the Spirit of Truth must establish the\r\nbaseline in our beings of all that Jesus is.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>As Jesus noted, He is \u201cThe Way, The Truth, and the Life.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cNo man cometh unto the Father but by\r\nme.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Without the Spirit of Truth making\r\nthis a certainty in every cell of our existence, we can be led astray and miss\r\nthe goal \u2013 the mark that has been set before us.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

All\r\nthis processing must take place in us before the Spirit of Glory can be\r\nmanifested and demonstrated in such a way that the world will sit up and take\r\nnotice that we not only have been with Jesus \u2013 we ARE in Him, and He IS in us!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In\r\nMatthew 22, Jesus is giving the parable of the Wedding Feast and speaking of\r\nthose who try to come uninvited, or unprepared.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>He makes the following statement \u2013 and this is perhaps the central\r\npurpose for the Spirit of Glory:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 22:14<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0\r\n<\/span><\/span>For many are called, but few are<\/i> chosen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nSpirit of Glory manifests Himself upon us, in us, and through us to demonstrate\r\nthat we have not only been called, we\u2019ve been chosen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And\r\nwe\u2019ve been commissioned and given a mantle of the Spirit\u2019s anointing!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s\r\nwrap up this series of studies on the Seven Spirits of God by considering some\r\nof the visible events that take place when Glory is on display for the whole\r\nworld to see.\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t forget:\u00a0 <\/span>Isaiah prophesied, <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Isaiah 40:5:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/b>And\r\nthe glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it<\/i>\r\ntogether: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nGlory of God was on display from the beginning.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>The Glory of God was on display in the Garden of Eden.\u00a0 <\/span>The Glory of God was on display when Adam and\r\nEve tended the Garden.\u00a0 <\/span>The Glory of God\r\nwas on display when Adam gave character, nature, personality and makeup to each\r\ngenus and specie of animal.\u00a0 <\/span>The Glory of\r\nGod was on display during the two thousand or so years that Adam and Eve lived\r\nin the Garden and caused it to grow, to multiply and to begin to spread beyond\r\nits original boundaries.\u00a0 <\/span>The Glory of\r\nGod is creative!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Consider\r\nfor a few minutes some of the things that occur when the Glory is on display.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

1. <\/span><\/b>Creative\r\nmiracles (we call them miracles, when in fact they are nothing but the norm of\r\nthe Word and the norm of Jesus Christ) take place regularly and consistently.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

2. <\/span><\/b>Authority\r\nover the weather is commonplace -- the ability to divert storms and eliminate,\r\nor at least seriously mitigate, the damage of loss of life.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

3. <\/span><\/b>The\r\nneed to be in more than one place at a time is easily solved by translation in\r\nthe realm of the Spirit -- we call it \"Phillip Transportation.\"\u00a0 <\/span>(Bruce Allen likes to call it \"Phillip\r\nAirlines.\" :-))<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

4. <\/span><\/b>More\r\nand more individuals are experiencing what it means to step out of time and\r\ninto eternity and to see -- from God's perspective -- His unfolding Plan and\r\nPurpose for His people.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

5. <\/span><\/b>The\r\nreturn of \"transgender\" individuals (who've come to realize that\r\ntheir change of identity solved nothing of the huge void in their spirits)\r\ninstantly to their former selves.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

6. <\/span><\/b>Literally\r\naltering the landscape (e.g., moving mountains) by speaking the Word as Jesus\r\nillustrated in Mark 11:23.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

7. <\/span><\/b>Simply\r\nspeaking the word over a large group of people who need healing and watching\r\nevery single individual receive their healing is really a part of what Jesus\r\npromised when He said, <\/span>\"The works that I do shall you do also, and greater works\r\nthan these shall you do because I go to my Father.\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

8. <\/span><\/b>Regular\r\nappearances of the Hosts of Heaven -- particularly in crisis situations, or\r\nwhen those ministering the Word are threatened by the Enemy -- are rapidly\r\nbecoming more and more the \"norm.\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

9. <\/span><\/b>Even\r\nmore prevalent as the Glory of the Lord is becoming manifested among the Bride\r\nof Christ is the appearance of Jesus, Himself.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>More and more we are seeing and hearing of the visible appearances of\r\nJesus as a testimony to the Word being ministered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

10. <\/span><\/b>There\r\nare several recorded instances in the Word when Jesus simply shifted dimensions\r\nand passed through the crowds without their being able to touch him, even if He\r\nwas visible.\u00a0 <\/span>That kind of shifting is\r\nbecoming more and more manifested, and is a natural display of the Glory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

11. <\/span><\/b>When\r\nwe read of the Glory of the Lord being on display with Israel, or -- for\r\nexample -- the way that the Glory of God was so strong that the priests and the\r\npraise and worshipers were unable to minister at the dedication of Solomon's\r\ntemple, we are talking about an event which is becoming, and will become, more\r\nand more the norm as people focus on what the Glory is really all about.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Think\r\nabout it!\u00a0 <\/span>The Glory of God is simply the\r\nevidence of His manifested presence among His people.\u00a0 <\/span>How it manifests can, does, and will take\r\nmore forms than any of us can imagine.\u00a0\r\n<\/span>When God's people focus on Jesus, when they focus on His heart's\r\ndesires, when they focus on what He is looking for in us, perspective changes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When\r\nJesus was teaching the multitudes in what we commonly refer to as \"The\r\nSermon on the Mount,\" He made the statement:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 6:33<\/span><\/u><\/b>: <\/span>But seek ye first the\r\nkingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto\r\nyou.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Now\r\nthat may seem a bit out of context, but consider: when our focus is the Lord\r\nJesus Christ, we lack for nothing.\u00a0 <\/span>When\r\nJesus was preaching here, He, of course, was referring in a general sense to\r\none's physical needs -- where they lived, what they wore, what they had for\r\nfood, etc., but it takes no stretch to realize that He was referring to\r\neverything we have need of in our growth spiritually.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nGreek word, <\/span>zeteo<\/span><\/i><\/b>, translated \"seek\" in our English\r\ntranslations, is an adaptation of a Hebraism meaning \"to\r\nworship.\"\u00a0 <\/span>Thus when you worship the\r\nLord, seeking His presence, His character, His nature and His rulership in\r\nevery part of your life, you have absolutely nothing to concern yourself with\r\nas far as the things of this life are concerned, and as far as His development in\r\nyou and restoration to that image in which we were first created.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The\r\nMessage Bible sometimes misses the essence of both Greek and Hebrew metaphors,\r\nbut it really captures it in this case.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Matthew 6:33, Message Bible<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Steep your life in\r\nGod-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don\u2019t worry about missing out.\r\nYou\u2019ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Two\r\nother illustrations from the Word capture the essence of what I want to share\r\nwith you.\u00a0 <\/span>David really understood the\r\nsignificance of living in the presence of the Lord, and he wrote the following:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Psalm 16:11<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Thou\r\nwilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is<\/i> fullness of joy; at\r\nthy right hand there are<\/i> pleasures for evermore.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I Chronicles 16:27<\/span><\/u><\/b>:\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Glory and honourare<\/i>\r\nin his presence; strength and gladness are<\/i> in his place.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Are\r\nyou seeing the significance?\u00a0 <\/span>When your\r\ndesire is to minister to the Lord, and it becomes the focus of your day, your\r\nlife, your very breath, He begins to reveal His Glory.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We\r\nare talking about the transformation taking place in all of us as we are put in\r\nthe crucible of experiences that we must respond to as God develops His nature,\r\nHis character, His personality and the very essence of Who He is.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

I will engrave within and upon him ..... the very nature, the character,\r\nthe authority, the makeup and the very essence of the city of Yod Hey Vav Hey\r\n(Elohim), which is the new Jerusalem, which descends [to the earth] out of\r\nHeaven from my Yod Hey Vav Hey (Elohim)<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>(Revelation 3:12, RAC Translation and\r\nAmplification)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n

His\r\npurpose from day One is that we become that Bride He created us to be for\r\nHimself!\u00a0 <\/span>His objective is that we become\r\nHis counterpart, His other self, His Beloved!\u00a0\r\n<\/span>His Plan is that we become His Glory manifested in the earth.\u00a0 <\/span>Ever stop to wonder just what that is?\u00a0 <\/span>It isn't complicated, really!\u00a0 <\/span>His Glory is the manifestation of His\r\npresence -- as it is in Heaven -- here on earth.\u00a0 <\/span>His Glory is all that He is!\u00a0 <\/span>He IS the Spirit of Glory (see I Peter 4:14).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n
