TUESDAY 14TH " HIS GLORY IN YOUR SPIRIT."

PASTOR CHRIS

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also
called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified (Romans 8:30).
The glory of God is much more than being
enveloped by a cloud, even though this was their
experience in the Old Testament. Ezekiel 10:4
says, "Then the glory of the LORD went up from
the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the
house; and the house was filled with the cloud,
and the court was full of the brightness of the
LORD'S glory." When Solomon had finished
building the temple, "...the priests could not stand
to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory
of the LORD had filled the house of God" (2
Chronicles 5:14). That was awesome, but there's
a higher level of glory!
When we talk about the glory of God, what many
think of, and get inspired about, is some physical
cloud above their heads, or in a building.
Understand God's real purpose: what God really
wants is the "glory in you." Don't choose to
remain with "the good" and leave out "the best."
"Glory in the building" was a shadow of things to
come. The best isn't the glory in the room, even
though some will have more faith if they saw
something physical. That's remaining at the lower
levels, or babyhood stage.
In Christianity, what we have is the oneness of
our spirit with the Spirit of God. You don't have
to look for the glory outside you; it's in your
spirit. Read the Apostle Paul's beautiful
submission about this in Colossians 1:26-27
"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages
and from generations, but now is made manifest
to his saints: To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the
hope of glory."
Did you know that the Kingdom of God is in your
heart? The perfect glory of God can never be
contained in a room, or found on the outside. The
perfect glory of God isn't something that your
optical eyes can behold. The perfect glory of God
is in your spirit.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you, for Christ in me is the
glory-life. I manifest the perfect glory of God, the
power, beauty, and excellence of God which has
been deposited in my spirit, to my world. As I
consistently meditate on the Word, the glory of
God emanates from my spirit, such that the
wonderful deeds and perfections of God are
displayed for the world to see, in Jesus' Name.
Amen.
