Bible Verse of The Day – 6-10-14

Revelation 21:23 (NKJV)23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

The Glory of God.

What is it? Do any of us really understand it?

Many times we hear people talking of how the glory of God was present in a church service. They may speak of a great time of worship and how the presence of God was felt in the atmosphere.

We are here today, not so much to question the validity of these claims, but to draw attention to what God’s word says about His glory.

We dare to say today that very few, if any of us, have ever really experienced the fullness of the glory of God. For if we had, our lives would be forever changed.

The glory of God is like a great weight that falls upon a place, rendering people helpless to stand in His presence.

The glory of God fills a room or an area with things like smoke and great light.

Revelation 15:8 (NKJV) The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power…

So we ask today, have any of us really experienced the glory of God, or have we just had little, tiny tastes of it here and there?

Our prayer today is that the bride of Christ, His church, would open the doors to God’s mighty presence and that we would experience it in its fullness and that our lives would be so changed that we would never accept the counterfeit again. That we would never make claims about His glory being present in a place simply because we had goosebumps and the worship was good.

Church, let’s press into Him and draw so near to Him that we will begin to get an understanding of who He really is and how powerful His glory really is.

If we will do this, our lives will never be the same.
