Glory

Glory is the manifested presence of God.

How do we manifest the presence? By being constantly conscious of His Presence. wow.

Been wanting to post about glory for a while now, and i feel like i should try to write some of this down before i forget, especially after men's meeting on saturday, where ps talked abt this glory that we want to walk in. and today, listened to a random sermon entitled "Keys to Manifesting the Glory of His Presence". Can it be clearer? haha. there has been much revelation, shall attempt to consolidate and share some..

It all started when i told a fren i could see a special glory resting on her. what she said next was just.. whoa. she said "really? i asked God for it." she is really close to God. yes, this glory is our entitlement. Blood bought. and it comes with a constant consciousness of His Presence.

You know, we carry the presence of God wherever we go. we are able to change the atmosphere wherever we go. the more conscious we are of His presence, the more it manifests. and the more people notice you. when your heart is established by grace, and when you are conscious that it is Christ in you that is the hope of glory, a glory will come out of you that is attractive. people will ask: "what is different about this guy/gal? can't put my finger on it.. there's something special about him/her."

He promised He will never ever leave us nor forsake us. He is with us. Be intimate with Him. Be conscious of Him. Treasure His constant Presence.. that's all He wants.. He is a loving Daddy! His glory in your life will then naturally manifest.

Joseph was a man who was conscious of God's presence. His name means, "God has added" and he was conscious of that. there was no record of complaint in Joseph's life. "The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man". for whatever he did, it prospered. Potiphar could see this glory on him.

Point to note: Joseph walked in such glory that he was irresistable (remember Potiphar's wife). He had to be a good steward over the glory. =)

This is not like the fading glory on Moses' face. we have a glory that is everlasting because of the overpayment at the cross.

wow God You are everywhere i look.

    God wants to glorify you in your career. God wants to glorify you in your studies. God wants to glorify you in your marriage. Amen! God wants His people to be filled with His glory, a glory that people can see, touch and feel. We are being transformed into the same image of the glory of the Lord!
