GOING FROM GLORY TO GLORY - If we allow God’s presence to soften our hearts then we may see the power of God released in greater measure. We may catch a glimpse of the very atmosphere of heaven. We experience God! In every season of glory we experience a new order that God brings to our lives as we mirror His image to a greater extent. As the Holy Spirit moves us toward becoming more Christlike, the methodology of an old season will not propel us into the future. We need something new and fresh. We need a new glory. When we are moving in God’s glory, angelic visitation occurs. “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” - When God’s manifest presence invades our daily lives, things change! We cannot remain the same. Either we will harden our hearts, as the Israelites did on many occasions, or we experience new zoe life. If we choose to allow God’s presence to soften our hearts then we may see the power of God released in greater measure. We may catch a glimpse of the very atmosphere of heaven. We experience God! He longs to pour out His glory upon His people so that we may know Him. This experience is not just for us personally but for the harvest of souls the Lord would draw in through the magnetic influence His presence has on the lost. There is such a war over the manifest presence of God.

Going From Glory To Glory

When we are moving in God’s glory, angelic visitation occurs

.

If we allow God’s presence to soften our hearts then we may see the power of God released in greater measure. We may catch a glimpse of the very atmosphere of heaven. We experience God!

.

In every season of glory we experience a new order that God brings to our lives as we mirror His image to a greater extent. As the Holy Spirit moves us toward becoming more Christlike, the methodology of an old season will not propel us into the future. We need something new and fresh. We need a new glory. 

Written By Destiny Image

 

 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” - 2 Corinthians 3:18

 

When God’s manifest presence invades our daily lives, things change!

We cannot remain the same.

Either we will harden our hearts, as the Israelites did on many occasions, or we experience new zoe life.

If we choose to allow God’s presence to soften our hearts then we may see the power of God released in greater measure.

We may catch a glimpse of the very atmosphere of heaven. We experience God!

He longs to pour out His glory upon His people so that we may know Him.

This experience is not just for us personally but for the harvest of souls the Lord would draw in through the magnetic influence His presence has on the lost.

There is such a war over the manifest presence of God.

One of my favorite verses is Second Corinthians 3:18: “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

The question comes up: why is it necessary to move from glory to glory?

Isn’t one glory as good as the next?

The answer is no, because in every season of glory we experience a new order that God brings to our lives as we mirror His image to a greater extent.

But then we begin to add a new method — a settled plan or strategy of how we operate within that new order. It is our way of implementing what we have learned from God.

In every season of glory we experience a new order that God brings to our lives as we mirror His image to a greater extent.

While in and of itself this is not a problem, we can eventually get so organized in God’s last manifestation of glory that the enemy can use it to hold us back from God’s next step for us.

It is very easy to become legalistic or build binding doctrines around a truth that God revealed during a past season of glory.

That, however, can leave us open to not moving forward when it comes time for God to change the seasons in our lives.

If we do not allow God to move us from glory to glory, we will get caught up living in an old season.

As the Holy Spirit moves us toward becoming more Christlike, the methodology of an old season will not propel us into the future.

We need something new and fresh. We need a new glory.

This is one of the wiles of the enemy — to hold us captive in the last manifestation of God.

Therefore, we live in the past rather than move into the best that is ahead for our life. This is how religious spirits operate.

If we do not allow God to move us from glory to glory, we will get caught up living in an old season.

When we are moving in God’s glory, angelic visitation occurs.

In December 2017, I was chosen by the Lord for an angelic visitation.

The first place I ever shared this visitation was at a regional gathering hosted by Apostle Tim Sheets.

We must co-labor with the host of heaven when we are moving in the glory realm in the earth. We are the army of earth.

The host of heaven interacts with us to bring His victory into the earth realm.

The angel from my visitation was peering into the harvest throughout the earth.

I entered into what he was seeing, but neither space nor time permits to share all of it here.

When I asked him what his name was, he said, “I am the Angel of War over God’s Covenant Harvest Plan.”

He revealed to me the harvest shift that we would enter and how this is a time for us to break out of conventional ways of thinking.

We must make a “harvest shift” and be led through the “gate of harvest increase.”

There will be a great hardening, separation, and then a sharpening!

This will draw out the army-order of the present Body—and be the first harvest training!

This angel took me through several other steps of training that we will go through in the future.

o   Grace will be sovereignly extended for wrong alignments in past covenants. This will be the second harvest training! (Hagars, Ishmaels, brothers and sisters who persecuted you, Esaus, Marks!) Saints’ eyes will be opened to the carrion-scavengers that have ravished their covenant plan! This will be the third harvest training (Your bloodline and mission).

o   New angelic councils would be forming and assigned to territories. These teams will meet with apostolic-prophetic councils in the earth realm to give strategies for advancement. This will be the fourth harvest training!

o   The Desire of Nations will begin to reveal Himself! Public decrees will be heard from nations’ civil leaders who will call entire territories and peoples into awakening. This will be the fifth harvest training!

o   God’s people will be sorted by their gleaning faithfulness. This will give them reaping. This will be the sixth harvest training! The territorial threshing floors for the harvest will be revealed! New calls to harvesters will be extended. This will be the seventh harvest training!

God has a government. He is Lord Sabaoth, “The God of Hosts.”

He has an army in heaven and He aligns that host with His Kingdom army in the earth.

He has angels and saints coming together to advance the Kingdom.

We have entered a season of heightened angelic visitation. Already we are probably visited by more angels than we know.

This New Era

There are some books that are important at the change of every season. We have not just entered a new season but a new era in the Kingdom of God.

Apostle Tim Sheets has written a masterpiece. This book, The New Era of Glory: Stepping Into God’s Accelerated Season of Outpouring and Breakthrough, will excite your heart and give you a road map for the future.

This book takes us beyond our present understanding into revelation for a new era. Revelation 4:1-2 says, “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.’ Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.”

The door that God is opening is in the heavenly realm. He is aligning that door over us in the earth realm, which then causes angelic help to come. This opens the door to our future.

This is exactly what we are experiencing in this new season. Heavenly portals are being opened and God’s angelic host is flooding into our atmosphere.

In The New Era of Glory, Apostle Tim Sheets explains the glory war ahead. The Spirit of God is saying, “Go forth by My Spirit with My help, with My ministering angelic host, and do the war ahead.”

We have entered a season when we will need the angels to interact with us as never before! This book is a must-read for those in this new era!

Escaping a Desperate Situation

Whenever we face difficult times, we should call on the Lord and remember that He orchestrates such situations for His divine purposes, to demonstrate His glory, and to show us that His ways are always best. 

.

God always knows which way is best. God is faithful to provide for His people. God is always present to guide His people. Human reason is no match for the Lord’s omniscience because He knows the beginning and the end of everything. Our response should be to trust Him and obey whatever He tells us to do. 

.

God’s simplest command can result in surprising and powerful consequences when we obey Him. We must never look at our situations based on our own abilities but on God’s faithfulness. Then in obedience we should follow His commands and trust Him to work out the situation and handle all the consequences.

Charles F. Stanley


 

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” - (Isaiah 41:10).


 

Many of us are familiar with one of the most interesting and amazing events in the Old Testament, but we may not understand how it applies to us.

After all, how could an event that happened thousands of years ago be relevant in the 21st century? It’s because nothing in the Bible is unnecessary or unimportant.

Although civilizations and cultures frequently change, the principles found in Scripture remain constant because our God never changes.

He has given us this book to teach us who He is and how He operates so we can apply His Word to our lives.

The book of Genesis records the story of Joseph, who was sold into Egyptian slavery by his jealous brothers.

After God gave him the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph was promoted to the position of overseer of Egypt.

His interpretation and wise advice saved the Egyptians from starvation due to an extended drought, and it also provided an opportunity for Joseph’s extended family to join him in Egypt.

The Israelites multiplied so quickly during their 400-year stay in Egypt that a future pharaoh, who didn’t know Joseph, enslaved them because he was afraid they might become powerful enough to be a threat to the Egyptians.

God chose a Hebrew man named Moses to lead the sons of Israel out of Egypt. He’d been raised and educated as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

However, after he killed an Egyptian who was beating a fellow Hebrew, he was forced to flee for his life and ended up spending 40 years in the Midian wilderness until the day the Lord spoke to him in a burning bush.

God sent Moses back to Egypt to set His people free and bring them to the land He’d promised to give them.

Because Pharaoh was hard-hearted and stubborn, the Lord sent 10 plagues to the land of Egypt.

Finally, when the last plague resulted in the loss of all the firstborns in Egypt, Pharaoh relented and let the Hebrews go.

There are five principles we can learn from the Israelites great escape.

1. God always knows which way is best. Although Pharaoh had let the children of Israel leave Egypt after the 10th plague, shortly afterward he regretted his decision, assembled his army, and set out to bring them back.

Under God’s leadership the Israelites had arrived and set up camp near the Red Sea when Pharaoh and his forces overtook them.

Upon seeing the Egyptian army coming toward them, they realized they were trapped and, in fear, called out to God.

Although the situation looked desperate to the Israelites, the Lord was in control and was going to use this circumstance to show the Egyptians that He was Israel’s God and the only true God.

Therefore, whenever we face difficult times, we too should call on the Lord and remember that He orchestrates such situations for His divine purposes, to demonstrate His glory, and to show us that His ways are always best.

2. God is faithful to provide for His people.

When the Israelites lived in Egypt as slaves, they had nothing, yet they came out with the riches of the land because the Lord used the 10 plagues to compel the Egyptians to supply them with whatever they wanted.

The citizens were so anxious to get rid of them that they gave them their gold, silver, jewels, and clothing.

3. God is always present to guide His people.

Although the Israelites thought they were trapped by the Egyptian army, in reality, God was the one who put them in this impossible situation because He had a great goal in mind that they couldn’t perceive.

The only way they could escape was if God intervened and rescued them.

Human reason is no match for the Lord’s omniscience because He knows the beginning and the end of everything.

Our response should be to trust Him and obey whatever He tells us to do.

A lack of understanding of all the details is no excuse for disobedience and doubt.

4. God’s simplest command can result in surprising and powerful consequences when we obey Him.

The Israelites were no match for the Egyptian army with all their chariots.

These former slaves were not trained soldiers and had no equipment with which to fight.

Their only hope was to trust the Lord, who by His grace had kept them alive for all those years in the land of Egypt and caused them to proliferate into a great multitude.

“But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. The Lord will fight for you while you keep silent’” (Exodus 14:13-14).

Then God said to Moses, “Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land” (verses 15-16).

As the people marched forward at God’s command, what seemed like an insurmountable situation became a miraculous deliverance. The pillar of cloud moved behind the Israelites to separate the Egyptians from them as they crossed over the seabed between two walls of water.

When the Egyptians followed them, Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the water flowed back, killing Pharaoh and his entire army.

We must never look at our situations based on our own abilities but on God’s faithfulness.

Then in obedience we should follow His commands and trust Him to work out the situation and handle all the consequences.

5. Don’t look for someone to blame for your circumstance, but look for God to help you.

When the Israelites first realized that the Egyptians were closing in on them, they said to Moses, “Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt?” (verse 11).

It’s always easier to blame someone else for our difficulties rather than to trust God’s purposes and His faithfulness to us in the situation.

But Isaiah tells us, “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

RESPONSE

What is your first reaction when faced with a desperate situation? Have you ever tried to find your own way out instead of relying on the Lord?

If so, what happened?

Which of these five principles do you need to apply to your current or your next difficult problem?
