Bible Reading: Habakkuk 3: 3-5
Memory Verse: The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands. Psalm 19:1 (AMP)
I celebrate the grace of God upon God’s servant, Kenneth Copeland. The glory of God isn’t just a feeling, an event or an Old Testament experience — it’s a spiritual tsunami of everything contained in the character of God. The word glory is literally translated “heavy weight,” meaning the heaviest, biggest, grandest thing about someone. It has been called the manifest presence of God, but more than just a presence, it’s power. The kind of power that resurrects, delivers, overcomes and transforms. It is greater and stronger than any other power in existence.
And it belongs to us. Yet, maybe you feel like the glory of God is untouchable, unreachable. Maybe you think of the manifestation of the glory of God as something reserved for special church services or an extraordinary circumstance. All the while, though, you long to see the power of God manifest in your life, your church and your country. But did you know that the glory of God is available to you 24/7? It’s built-in. That’s how God designed it—it’s how He designed you. Because you were born of God (John 1:13), that glory is inside you right now! All things that the Father has—including His glory—belongs to you. This means His glory isn’t too far out of reach. It’s right within your grasp! Below are four ways you can tap into the glory of God by faith.
- Look for the Glory: “But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God.” (Acts 7:55, NKJV). If we aren’t expecting to see the glory of God, we probably won’t. Just like anything in the kingdom of God, it takes faith to see a manifestation. The glory of God is a visible power. The nation of Israel saw the glory when God came down to meet them on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:17). The prophet Habakkuk in Habakkuk 3: 3-4 got a glimpse of that fiery glory, too. He described it as a likeness of the sun, blazing in the sky. The same glory that raised Jesus from the dead was manifested as fire by night and a cloud by day in the wilderness (Exodus 13:21).
This same glory separated Israel and the land of Goshen from the rest of Egypt when there was light in the land of Goshen, but darkness in Egypt (Exodus 10:23). What was that light? The glory. The glory of God’s presence. In this century, Brother Kenneth E. Hagin compiled a list of every scripture in the Bible about the glory. When he would read them aloud in a service, the glory would appear like a cloud or a wave, and people would fall on the floor under that power, or rush to the altar to get saved. It is tangible and it is powerful! So, start expecting to see the glory of the Lord!
Quote: The glory of God is revealed not just as His Presence but also as His Power.
