Glory
The trumpeters and singers were as one, making one sound being heard praising and thanking the Lord; as they lifted their voice along with their instruments and praised the Lord, saying he is good and his mercy endureth forever. The house was filled with a cloud and the priest could not stand and minister for the glory of the Lord had filled the house. See full verses 2 Chronicles 5:13-14. Can you imagine such and encounter presently? The glory of the Lord so very present that you cannot stand in it. The Pastor cannot even preach! Oh, how I long to experience and witness His glory in such a way. Noticed they were as one and making one sound. The key ingredient, UNITY! Where are our hearts as a church when we are before the Lord? We need unity! With man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Let us pray to our Father for unity. There is another account of His glory. Solomon had made an end of praying and the fire of God came down and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifice and the glory filled the house. This time the priest could not enter the house because of the glory. The children of Israel saw the fire and glory of the Lord and bowed their face to the ground and worshiped and praised the Lord. See full verses 2 Chronicles 7:1-3. Church what would it be like to go the house of God but cannot enter because the glory of the Lord filled the house? With such and encounter you can only do as the children of Israel did bow yourself and worship. What kind of glory do we behold? Jesus said and the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one. John 17:22. Now seeing we have heard the truth about the glory of God. I now ask what we are doing. I think we need to get desperate for such and encounter! We will never approach prayer and worship the same, not even in the secret place. Manifest this glory oh God, manifest this glory oh God! Glory to God in Jesus name amen!
