The Glory of HIS presence!

You know, we are equipped for everything here much like we are equipped for everything in life by the victory of the Lord Jesus. At our pulpit in our church we have a box with six hankies in it but for the longest time because I was so focused on preaching the word I never quite focused on getting that box open. One day while I was preaching; I asked a young man in our congregation to come up and open the box for me. Within seconds he had not only the box open but a hanky in my hand. You can quite literally have what you focus upon. Is your focus on Heaven? If it is I believe you can have heaven on earth. It is not about getting there in the future it is about getting there now by what the Lord Jesus has achieved for us. There is a realm of His glory that the church will be coming into by the power of the Holy Spirit. It will be unprecedented in the history of the church. Will you be ready!

Well Lord we give you the Glory, honor and praise. For who you are. We are having such had just a supernatural times in His presence. I know that the anointing of the Lord is on these pages so ingest these words into you. So get ready! For a period of time there has been an incubation by the Spirit of the Lord. There has been a incubation, that has been taking place in my heart. Just sense the rest of the Lord right now? Right now as you read this there has been rest released already. When I was born (Many years ago now) was was born premature and underweight which required that I be placed in an incubator for three full months and there was a great potential that I would not survive.

By His miracle working power I did and today no one would tell that I had such an experience. Something was brought out of an underweight condition to a maturity were life became viable. This is what the Lord is doing; He is placing the church back into a position were life is not only viable but achieving the objectives for which it was intended. Signs, wonders and miracles of the Lord returning to there rightful place as a healthy part of the church of the Lord Jesus. You are called to such a life in the Spirit with Him!!! No longer in an incubator but mature and life giving in every respect. The title complete captures what the Lord is doing right now. Created in and for the Glory of the Lord.

Have you ever watched someone while they have been making a soup? I don’t know where this came from but I will go for it. And so they are putting all the ingredients in there. My mother-in-law was the best soup maker on the planet, she was really good at making soup. You know a little bit of salt and pepper and everything boils. If you were successful you will take part and eat some of it.

We have all been created in the Glory of God and you are a heavenly mixture created in His image. Have you ever thought about that? I have been meditating on that. Before the foundation of the world we were created in the image and Glory of God. Everything coming together and then dispatched to this world. To walk in this world and be in this world. The glory is not the sweet by and by, you are already in it right now. You are in the Glory of God right now. Do you get goose bumps, I do. Just understanding this aspect of His Kingdom will change the way you look at life. That we would have spiritual eyes to see, who we really are in the Glory of God. When you get this understanding you will look at life in a whole other dimension and through different eyes. The Glory of the Lord created in you.

Let me say this, you are first class, I say that because God is first class. You may have or have had circumstances that say something else but the Lord says you are first class. He is first class, he is heavenly but the point is so are you. Whether you know it or even believe it the scriptures say you are seated in Heavenly places with the Lord Jesus. Have you ever taken a plane trip? How many remember walking through first class? What was your thought? I am even going to go out on a limb and ask who has sat in first class? You are meant for first Class. You may not have the money yet but you are meant to sit in first class. You see the big seats and all the attention to your ever need. Cause our God is a God that is first class. Even creating you was first class. I remember travelling to Argentina to the wedding of Pastor Chad McCabe and his dearest wife Daniela and as we returned home to Canada I had been praying for an upgrade to first class seating. (Yes you can ask for these things).

So I felt a prompting to really pray to sit in first class. We had regular economy seats. I had such an assurance that we would get first class at that point that I knew within me that it would happen at some point. From Buenos Aires, Argentina to Calgary, Alberta Canada is a twenty-three-hour flight with layovers. So we arrived in Miami after an overnight flight from Argentina arriving at about eight in the morning Miami time. We had about six hours before our next flight, so I said we should just go and sit in one of these airline lounges because I had a card to get us in there. And it is just us and the attendants. Then suddenly out of no where this huge mouse, must have been about two inches and weighed three ounces or so. Suddenly despite their tiredness the ladies in our party of four see it and instantaneously and coordinated they scream at the top of their lungs and both jump up on end tables while Chad and I sit there laughing. Needless to say the lounge attendants all come running to see what the disturbance is all about and we explain what had just happened. Then the senior attendant came in to where we were with a bottle of wine. So we had to explain that we don’t drink but we asked if he could upgrade us to first class for the remainder of our trip and this was exactly what happened next.

Does God answer prayer? Does he answer in very unusual ways? Secondly, does the Lord have a sense of humour and I would answer absolutely! If you pray something, the Lord hears. Let me say this, it works the other way around as well but we don’t like to speak of that to often. I am not saying that this will work every time, but you know what, the Lord hears your prayers. You are called to glory, you came out of glory and you are in glory today and you are going into glory. God is first class and you were made first class in His image.

The Glory of the Lord is on your life. You have a choice today to believe it or not. You have the choice to believe if you came from Glory and you are going into Glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (Amplified Bible) 18And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

You have great things ahead of you, great things ahead for your family. There is destiny on your life. Let me say this that we are on a highway, not a low way. I refuse the low way, we are on a highway of Gods Glory. Let me say this. You have had more dreams and visions over the past three months? There is such a supernatural release right now. Do not underestimate what the Lord is doing to you in this season. Increase the dreams increase the visions. I am going to use very common language or lingo right now and the Lord said to me, “ Do you want a piece of me.” You know the whole pie but a piece of me. Get ready for new revelation and understanding. Cause you have been called out of Glory and to be in Glory. The Bible says it this way: “From Glory to Glory” Some are just believing that we will get to glory. They don’t have an understanding of the fact they came from it and are in it now. There is three phases of Glory. We are going from glory and in Glory and going into Glory. So watch and see what the Lord is doing.

If you leave with anything today leave with this. You are first class. You are not an accident, you are here by divine appointment. I care about what people have spoken over your life but I do not agree with the words that were negative spoken over your life. There was two trees in the garden. One of the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil and one the tree of life. You need to draw from the tree of life. With it comes understanding, with it comes revelation, with it comes the power of God. In English it is very difficult to explain what Glory means but you are part of Glory.

Romans 3: 21-28 – Let me say this, this scripture is for you and I. We were under it at one point in time but we are no longer under this anymore. If you are a son or daughter of the most high, there has been something taken place in your life, cause you are different…. In our time, something has been added… Who did it, the Lord Jesus, keep going…. If you are a believer there is something different for you and me, something different for us to draw on that others can’t…. Okay hang on, if you have a long and sorry record? Everyone does. Who said that it has been wiped out? I will get to that. But we have a long and sorry record? Has anyone made a mistake? Has anyone failed or done anything that they shouldn’t have done? I would say 99.999% of us have done this. That is you and me. I do not make any apology for that, because I can't walk the way I am supposed to in the natural by my ability. But something happened two thousand plus years ago to change all that by the power of the Cross.

In you, you are utterly incapable of yourself? Put this qualifier on that, in your own strength. Okay utterly incapable. Why is that a good thing? Cause then we can’t claim that it is us. We can never claim that we did it, because He did it. If some of you thing you are really good, your dead wrong; put that thinking to the side because He is…. We are utterly incapable to live in the Glory of God in ourselves.

There is only one way that we can go into the Glory of God. That is through Him. In the Old Testament there was many things that you needed to do things before you could go into the Holy of Holies…. but God did it for us through the cross! How can you be in the Glory of God? GOD DID IT FOR US….

If you are striving for something, strive with the Holy Spirit and receive by faith. It is not saying that you are not called to be Holy. You are called to be holy and blameless, you are called to be sinless. Those who love Him will obey Him. There is an issue of love here, Do you love Him?

Have you ever done a restoration on a home. What happened? Something was broken and needed to go through a restoration. God is into disaster restoration. He is talking to you and he is talking to me. You were a disaster, but it was inter restoration. Then you have been restored into a better position then before. You know what I am excited. When you catch this by the spirit of the Lord you will be changed, there will be a new kick in your step. There will be a boldness that will come on your life. Because your authority is not dependent on the worlds, it is dependent on Him. You have nothing but Him anyway. You’ve got it by the spirit.

Really what happened, we fell short of the Glory of God. Each and everyone of us. But He is going to release something that will restore the destruction or mend the destruction of the Glory of God in your life. You came from glory, when I look at a baby I know they are from some place else. They came from heaven and are on assignment and will achieve something here. I am not concerned about the words spoken over you in a negative way. Cause I know my God is more then able for you and me. If you feel that you are fully completed yet, I got news for you, you are not. If you stumble and fall you get up and go again with the power of God in your life.

Colossians 1:16 – Okay it was in Him the Lord Jesus… Let me say this are you in this category?.. You were created in Him. Your mind will not wrap around that. In Him you were created in Him and for Him.

1 Corinthians 10:31 – Here’s what happened. Has anyone ever gone to a pawn shop? There was probably a reason why you went to pawn something. You probably needed money for something. That is the low way, that is what mankind did, they went to pawn off there birth right like Essau. They went to a pawn shop and exchanged it for something less then glory instead of having something that would have given them the Glory. There was something desperate in humanity to go from up there down to here. To leave glory. Understand this, the Lord has a highway for you.

Lets go back to that scripture again but in the message bible (Romans 3:21-28). Okay let me say this, Who is the whole world? People need to make choices but not everyone will make the right choice… Look at someone and say current? This is for today, current for you and me today… How many know that He chose you before you choose Him?... Our lives must get in step with God. God does not get in step with your lives you need to get in step with His life…. There is a new pace coming to church. It is coming for yours and my life this new pace… You can’t run. Life can become incredibly challenging for all of us from time to time. Use every opportunity (good and bad) to advance the kingdom of the Lord.

Isaiah 60:2 says it this way: "See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples but the Lord rises upon YOU and his glory appears over YOU". You came from Glory, You are in Glory and you are going to Glory and the mandate of Heaven is upon you. Ask the Lord right now for a supernatural revelation of who you actually are in Christ Jesus. The enemy and the world will lie to you but there is a reality and a realm of the righteousness of Christ which is being released to you right now by His Holy Spirit. You are qualified in Him. You will make a difference when you understand that His glory is free, available and being poured out liberally for you. Much love.
