ENTERING THE GLORY OF GOD – Ron McGatlin
LOVE IS THE KEY TO ENTERING THE REALM OF THE GLORY OF GOD ON EARTH NOW.
THERE IS A TEST OF OUR LOVE BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF THE FULL GLORY OF GOD MANIFESTS AMONG US.
The smokescreen of the test or trial of the enemy stands between us and the presence of God’s glory in and with us.
We may feel like we have lost our way and cannot see the coming glory while going through the smokescreen of doubts and fears that arise in our minds.
Yes, we have truly witnessed a foretaste of His glory within His presence. And we have clearly heard the direct promise from Spirit God of the imminent coming of the greater fullness of His glory.
So, why does it seem that nothing is working just right and we are encountering drawbacks of aggravation, doubts and fearful eruptions going on around us.
The devil is full out trying to stop us.
If he can stir up enough troublesome thoughts and circumstances around us, perhaps he can cause us to turn back or turn aside and not step through the fog and into the greater glory that God has provided.
The troubling things that the devil means to stop us only serve to call our attention to our need to deal with issues within ourselves, and to lay aside all that is not of God in our lives.
In the fog of near despair, we cry out to God to help us to be so in love with Him that none of these other issues can get through our minds and down into our hearts.
In other words, we cleanse our hands and purify our hearts to ascend the hill of the Lord in the presence of the King of Glory.
“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you….” 1 Peter 4:12-14.
DO NOT ALLOW THE TRIALS TO HINDER
The trials confirm that the Spirit of Glory rest upon you. If God is drawing you to come to the PRAISE GATHERING in Mount Airy, NC on June 4, 2022 or if He is speaking to you to start a praise gathering in your area then press on through the smokescreen. Lay aside every weight that holds you down and arise for the glory of God is come upon you.
PRAISE GATHERING IN MOUNT AIRY, NORTH CAROLINA SATURDAY JUNE 4, 2022
A group of people in Mount Airy, North Carolina are hosting a new monthly Praise Gathering Saturday June 4, 2022.
There is not a special speaker or planned program of performances. There is no big-name band and it is not a conference and no offering will be taken. It is not a church service but a gathering IN THE NAME OF JESUS of people from any church group or out-of-church people to PRAISE GOD AND SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN HIS PRESENCE. God inhabits his praise. The manifest presence of God comes when we truly praise Him in one accord.
The group started as a home gathering of a small group of youth from Covenant Church along with some of their parents. Praising God together we began to experience the manifest presence of God changing our lives like never before. We became alive in the Wind of the Spirit. The new life of the youth then affected the church Sunday services and the fire is spreading.
Recently we held our first Praise Gathering open to the community on a Saturday evening and discovered that the presence of God fueled by praising God together brought the LOVE of God in and among us. Spirit Wind ignited the fire of love in our hearts. Individuals began to minister and pray for one another spontaneously as God moved among us.
IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA OF NORTH CAROLINA OR SOUTHERN VIRGINIA, you are welcome to come and praise God with a group in love with God.
IF YOU ARE NOT IN THIS AREA, PLEASE PRAY ABOUT STARTING A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY EVENING GATHERING TO PRAISE GOD TOGETHER IN YOUR AREA!
