Good morning glorious ones!

We’re living in a very interesting time in history ~ the time period in which the Lord Jesus Christ will return to gather His Church and set up His kingdom on the earth.  That might not seem like a reality to those who don’t know Him, but for believers who are walking in God’s love and His Word, it’s the most exciting time we’ve ever known! 

Just by looking at the news reports and the current events around the world, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that we’re living in the last of the last days.  But, before Jesus comes back to rapture His Church, God is going to pour out HIS GLORY in this earth, and He’s going to do it through you and I.

THE GLORY OF GOD is His manifested presence.  It’s His tangible presence in our lives.  The Bible describes THE GLORY OF GOD as a cloud, fire, rain, thunder and sound, but it’s also seen through signs and wonders, like healing, miracles, prosperity and love.  God wants His children to have what is rightfully ours as heirs of God and joint-heirs of Jesus Christ and become living and breathing examples of His GLORY in the earth.  

Faith is the catalyst for you to experience THE GLORY OF GOD in your life.  Also, you must operate according to the kingdom of God system, which is seedtime and harvest.  If THE GLORY OF GOD is what you want to experience in abundance, then you’ll have to sow toward it. 

Be encouraged today and know that there will be plenty of opportunities for you to become distracted from what God has promised you in His Word.  The devil will try to bring contrary circumstances, bad reports and negative thoughts to try to keep you from being a part of THE GLORY OF GOD.  He knows when you walk in THE GLORY OF GOD, people will wonder how you became so blessed and will want to know about the God you serve when they see the benefits of being a Christian, which includes joy unspeakable and being full of glory!  Because this is satan’s greatest nightmare, he’ll attempt to plant the wrong seeds in your heart.  Diligently guard your heart and mind from suggestions and lies.  

Remember, Jesus came so that you could have an abundant, overflowing life (see John 10:10) and HIS GLORY is what constitutes that abundance.  You don’t have to live one more day of your life sick, broke, depressed or lonely if you’re a believer.  God wants to express Himself through you and glorify Himself in your life right now.  When you choose to abide in God and let His Word abide or permanently dwell in you, THE GLORY OF GOD on your life will become evident.  

The stronger you become in faith and love, the brighter GOD’S GLORY will shine in your life.  

Experiencing THE GLORY OF GOD,
