Ungers bible dictionary says that the Hebrew word for Spirit is: "Rugh" which means: breath and wind.
It is the vital principle part of us that relates to God through worship and divine communion, spirit to spirit.
And what is God's Glory? it is: The active and the outward manifestation of His dunamis power. It is His divine attributes and perfection as it works and is displayed through the Holy Spirit. It is an all consuming light that transforms us and fire that burns within us. It's His power that creates, heals and brings His manifested presence. It exposes sin, overtakes the darkness and brings revelation into the midst of His people.
God's desire for this hour is to reveal His Glory unto His church. We must come to maturity in the Spirit where we stop limiting God and see Him, not through the eyes of tradition or religion, but through the eyes of the Spirit. He is searching for those who's hearts are longing for His manifested presence and believers who are not event orientated regarding the supernatural. As a body of believer's we must discern when and where the Spirit wants to take us in a worship service. We must learn to wait on the Spirit and allow Him to carry us into an atmosphere of His presence where His glory dwells.
In the beginning, Adam and Eve were created in His glory and God's plan was for them to live, walk and commune with Him in the garden (He in them and they in Him). But when sin entered their hearts, that intimate communion was lost and as a result they were driven from the very presence and Glory of God. In Romans 3:23 tells us:
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
We lost the ability to walk in the manifested presence of God and because of a lack of understanding we haven't discerned the difference between the faith realm and the Glory realm. Faith can become works when we try and work up God's presence through the prophetic gifts of the Spirit and we think that it is our gift that brings the presence and move of God into a service. Please don't miss understand me, I'm not saying that they are not needed or important, but what I am saying is that when you prophesy and move in the gifts of the Spirit we move according to our proportion of faith according to Romans 12:6
"Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith."
When we move in the faith realm, the gifts are manifested proportionally or you could say measured, because we are moving in the realm of substance that has limitations. Therefore we are not moving in the fullness, but when we learn to move in the realm of the Glory of God, like Jesus did, we will experience the manifestation of the gifts of the spirit in their fullness.
In John 17: 22 the scripture tells us: "And the glory which Thou has given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just as we are one."
Church, the glory realm is where we were created to dwell in and function from. All too often we come to church and it seems as if the service never fully enters into the manifested presence of God. The services becomes common, almost ritualistic as we continue to follow stick schedules that limit our time in His presence. There is no revelation of Christ in the midst in order to perpetuate the manifestation of His presence. When we pitch a tint and set up camp where we've become comfortable, God moves on, leaving us worshiping the residue of His last visitation. What we don't understand is that His cloud of Glory has moved on, and we are missing out on what He has for us and wants to bring into the midst of His people.
And He is saying to His church:
Deep calls unto deep...hear the prophetic message...hear it proclaim My mysteries and recognize that it is the great "I AM" that calls you and summons you into My presence...for there is where you will see My splendor, My power and I will manifest myself to you in that hidden place in Me which is my Glory. For I am bringing a visitation to my people but without the revelation there is no acceleration or manifestation of My Spirit. When you enter into worship you will find Me and My presence will create an atmosphere for My Glory. Be a carrier of the Ark, which is my presence and not just a follower, says the Spirt of God.
In Genesis 28:16 tells us: And Jacob awoke out of his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it."
*Wake up church and don't miss the visitation of His Glory; Hear what the Spirit is saying.
