The Glory Of God

The Glory of God

(Exodus 24:17 NIV) To the Israelites the glory of the LORD looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.

(Exodus 33:13-19 NIV) If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” {14} The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” {15} Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. {16} How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” {17} And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” {18} Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” {19} And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

(Exodus 34:5-8 NIV) Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the LORD. {6} And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, {7} maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.” {8} Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped.

(Numbers 14:19-23 NIV) In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.” {20} The LORD replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked. {21} Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth, {22} not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times– {23} not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.

(Deuteronomy 5:24-25 NIV) And you said, “The LORD our God has shown us his glory and his majesty, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him. {25} But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.

(Psalms 8:1 NIV) For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

(Psalms 19:1-3 NIV) For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. {2} Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. {3} There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

(Psalms 63:1-3 NIV) A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. {2} I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. {3} Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

(Psalms 111:1-4 NIV) Praise the LORD. I will extol the LORD with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly. {2} Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them. {3} Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. {4} He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

(Psalms 113:3-8 NIV) From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. {4} The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens. {5} Who is like the LORD our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, {6} who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? {7} He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; {8} he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.

(Psalms 138:5-6 NIV) May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great. {6} Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar.

(Psalms 145:1-20 NIV) A psalm of praise. Of David. I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. {2} Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. {3} Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. {4} One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. {5} They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works. {6} They will tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. {7} They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. {8} The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. {9} The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. {10} All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you. {11} They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, {12} so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. {13} Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. {14} The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. {15} The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. {16} You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. {17} The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. {18} The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. {19} He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. {20} The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

(Isaiah 6:3 NIV) And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

(Isaiah 40:4-5 NIV) Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. {5} And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

(Isaiah 58:6-11 NIV) “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? {7} Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter– when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? {8} Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. {9} Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, {10} and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. {11} The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

(Isaiah 60:1-2 NIV) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. {2} See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

(Isaiah 66:10-13 NIV) “Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her. {11} For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.” {12} For this is what the LORD says: “I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. {13} As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

(Habakkuk 2:14 NIV) For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

(Luke 2:9-11 NIV) An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. {10} But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. {11} Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

(John 1:14 NIV) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

(John 11:4 NIV) When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

(John 11:40-44 NIV) Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” {41} So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. {42} I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” {43} When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” {44} The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”

(Romans 3:23-26 NIV) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, {24} and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. {25} God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished– {26} he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

(Romans 5:1-5 NIV) Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, {2} through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. {3} Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; {4} perseverance, character; and character, hope. {5} And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

(Romans 15:4-7 NIV) For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. {5} May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, {6} so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. {7} Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

(1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV) So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

(2 Corinthians 3:16-18 NIV) But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. {17} Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. {18} And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

(2 Corinthians 4:3-7 NIV) And even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. {4} The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. {5} For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. {6} For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. {7} But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

(Ephesians 3:14-21 NIV) For this reason I kneel before the Father, {15} from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. {16} I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, {17} so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, {18} may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, {19} and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. {20} Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, {21} to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

(Philippians 2:9-11 NIV) Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, {10} that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, {11} and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

(Colossians 1:27 NIV) To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

(2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 NIV) But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. {14} He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Hebrews 1:1-3 NIV) In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, {2} but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. {3} The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

(Revelation 21:22-24 NIV) I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. {23} The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. {24} The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

My First Love

Sampson was set aside from birth for God , he laid his head down in the wrong lap. Some of us have left our first love.
Some of us have just become room mates with God. Love will compel us and constrain us. Strange love is pulling us away from God. When your commit is right it will keep you obediant
Apostles dream to tell my people to come out of shittums come out of whoredoms, life comes with so many distractions but it is so important that we as children of God don’t in tangle our selves with things and people that will pull us away from God.

We are seeing the signs of the times right before our faces, the love for God and what is right has gotten to be a thing of the past. We can’t tell what is God and what is not, this is why we must not waste precious time that should be spent in our word and in prayer and laying aside time to fast and pray so that we do not fall into the traps that enemy has set for us to do so. God is watching and there is nothing hide to Him, so you maybe able to pretend to be one who follows after God, but the bible says that you know the tree by the fruits that it bares, so it’s a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of a angry God. We do serve a loving and forgiving God and it’s more beneficial to walk after the works of the spirit not the flesh, for their is no good thing in the flesh it will cause you to lust after things that will cause you and God to be separated.
Romans 12:1.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Num 25:1-3
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
3 And Israel joined himself unto Baal–peor: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel.

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.

Those of us who hear the instruction of the Lord we have willfully submitted to not obeying God, we have become whores to the God of this world

We are far away from God because our lives are not in line with Gods word. When you truly want God we will turn away from sin, we are nasty and dirty in Gods sight, God is coming to strip us because of out unclean ways.

God wants to know are we willing to turn away from our sinful ways.

Your Enemies

Enemies

“But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.”
Exodus 23:22

“Thou through Thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.”
Psalm 119:98

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”
Matthew 5:44

“That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;”
Luke 1:71

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Luke 10:19

I Am Not Alone

I thought for many years I was alone
and walked a lonely path with no presence of HIM. I could not see a reason to go on. I was saddened when my faith disappeared. I hurt so deeply and never wanted to accept it or show it.
For many years I cried “empty”. No one to touch, no one there to listen and no kind soul to take me and make me whole again.
I waited and waited but never spoke to HIM. Why? I will never know why I chose a path so lonely without HIM. All I had to do is ask HIM for help and he would have reached down and grabbed my soul.
Well the time was not right and we all know that you cannot force the Holy Spirit into your life.
As I helped others with their healing for years and tried to guide them to his light, I finally decided it was my time. I finally called out begging for HIS presence. For years I called and begged for HIM. I need you more than ever please show me you exist. Then one low day I screamed for help as I could not take the pain anymore.
I said Dear GOD in Jesus name, please walk with me and guide me through these terrible scary times I am witnessing right now. I am ready to lift my life up to you. If you really do exist please I pray show me NOW.
WOW I never felt a presence so huge before. I felt two hands reach down to hug me and my soul felt so warm again. I felt alive again. As I pray daily, I feel love and acceptance again. I AM NOT ALONE. When I chose to welcome Christ back into my life and walk with HIM daily was the day I realized I AM NOT ALONE.
When he shines down I realize theres love, hope and faith. I now choose to follow his word, and I talk to him in all my life choices.
As I walk through life witnessing all the beauty of nature I thank GOD for the beauty of life. I also always remember I AM NOT ALONE. When you find GOD you are not ALONE.
“I am not alone” Just believe!!!!!!

Fullness Of God

A storm is brewing. Strong winds blow. It is the beginning of springtime when the hot air from the south explodes towards the north. There is nothing you can do to stop it. Take shelter in Me. This storm will quickly move away. Wise is the one who understands the seasons. Storms don’t last long. They quickly pass. Live life in perpetual preparation for the storms in life that will surelyocome. The Lord says, “Look, here comes Jesus walking on the wind, calming the storm. Be at peace.”

Matthew 8:26 (NASB) “He *said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

Don’t give up. I know it feels like two seconds until too late but don’t give up. Keep your mind on Me and the good things that have happened in the past. Read My word. Read it with expectation, thinking it will speak to exactly where you are. It will speak to you beyond the natural. It is active and alive and will build your faith, and will bring you peace of mind. This enables you to hear what to do next. I love you and will never abandon you.

Hebrews 4:12-13 (NLT) “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

Growing Strong In God

Ephesians 4:15-16 (MSG) “God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love-like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love.

Peace That Surpasses

Did you know that WHATEVER YOU NEED is Available to you during some of the Most Trying times of your Life? You have access to one of the most Powerful hings there is to help you make it through Anything and Everything! You have not, because you ask not. PEACE …… It is yours for the asking. ♥ “And the PEACE of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7

Trust

TRUST ME ONE DAY AT A TIME. this keeps you close to Me, responsive to My will. Trust is not a natural response, especially for those who have been deeply wounded. My Spirit within you is your resident Tutor, helping you in this supernatural endeavor. Yield to His gentle touch : be sensitive to His prompting.

Exert your will to trust Me in all circumstances. Don’t let your need to understand distract you from My Presence. I will equip you to get through this day victoriously, as you live in deep dependence on Me. Tomorrow is busy worrying about itself: don’t get tangled up in its worry-webs. Trust Me one day at a time.

Psalm 84:12 O Lord of hosts,
How blessed is the man who trusts in You.

Matthew 6:34 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own

Wisdom

I have an abundant supply of wisdom. It will never run out. There is always more than enough to supply all of everyone’s needs. Talking it over with yourself and coming to a conclusion of what to do is like praying to yourself. “Self, what is the best recourse of action in this situation?” Self will answer according to your own interests. I want everyone to be of the same mind and purpose, yours included. That is the reason you ask Me for wisdom. Wait for My answer. Don’t get ahead of Me and don’t walk out on your own plank, you may just have to jump off into murky water.

Job 12:13 (AMP) “But [only] with [God] are [perfect] wisdom and might; He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding.

Creativity

“I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.”
Psalm 139:14,15

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:5,6

“I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.”
Proverbs 8:12

“Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein;”
Isaiah 42:10

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?”
Isaiah 43:19

“…I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.”
Isaiah 48:6

It is a blessing to know that God has given us the best of everything. He has given us the ability to create and explore new things. Some of us have been given a very creative mind, that we can sit back envision what it is that we want to create and God will show you step by step to achieve your idea that was only a imagination.

Don’t allow fear to keep you from stepping out on faith and putting your God given talents to use, I just wanted to encourage you to not just let a idea to remain a idea, but put your action behind faith and allow it to become a reality. I am sure that if we could speak to anyone who invented things we can’t seem to live without, they would tell you they did not know if what they created would be a invention that we use in everyday life!

I think that creativity comes from thinking about how to find a way to accomplish something that you would like to do more effectively. Just food for thought, what will you create that will live on for centuries and become apart of your legacy?
