Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 3:18
Memory Verse: Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” Exodus 33:18 (NASB)
Other ways to prepare for the Glory of God include:
- Pray for the Glory: You can see and experience the glory of God, but you must diligently ask and seek for it to be revealed. When we pray the glory into the earth, miracles, signs and wonders will occur in the Church and in our own personal lives. When Moses saw the glory of God, he asked, saying, “Please, show me Your glory” (Exodus 33:18, NKJV). When believers gathered together in the spirit of unity, seeking the Lord, the glory appeared in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost, and sat on the head of each person there (Acts 2:1-4). Each born-again believer has the ability to manifest God’s glory here on earth, but we must believe when we pray. That’s why Jesus told Martha that if she would believe, she would see the glory of God (John 11:40).
- Prepare for the Glory: There are degrees of the glory of God. If you want to experience the fullness of God’s glory, you must prepare your spirit. How? By walking in love. It takes faith to receive and operate in the glory—and faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). That means the glory of God will increase in you in direct proportion to how you walk in love. So, to increase the amount of the glory in your life, you must walk in love. Put simply—more love, more glory. Flee from the spirit of strife and division, they are enemies of the glory of God.
4. Walk in the Glory: The glory of God looks for a dwelling place. The original house for the glory of God was the tabernacle. But under the New Covenant, the Holy Spirit builds a temple in every believer (1 Cor. 3:16). We are God’s house — His temple. However, this temple is no longer in a fixed location. This house can walk, talk and preach the gospel! Now, it’s one thing to have the glory, but it’s another to know how to walk in it. The good news? You have everything you need inside you to do so. When the believers experienced the glory of God at Pentecost, they didn’t just go back to living normal lives. They emerged from that place separated from the rest of the world and as light in the midst of darkness. They went out and started turning the world upside down for Jesus. They preached the gospel; and worked miracles, signs and wonders; and the Lord added to the Church daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:47). That’s the glory we need to be operating in! The early Christians were no different than Christians today. When you walk in the glory of God, you have a fire in you that the devil cannot withstand. We are told to put on the armor of God, which includes the shoes of the glorious gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15). There’s glory in your feet! That’s what gives you the power to walk on Satan. That’s why the only thing the devil is to the Church is a footstool.
Quote: Say by faith right now: The glory is in me! I receive it! I’m walking in it!
