1. ENTERING THE GLORY OF GOD – North Carolina Praise Gathering June 4, 2022 – Ron McGatlin

ENTERING THE GLORY OF GOD – Ron McGatlinLOVE 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!
MOUNT AIRY, NORTH CAROLINA PRAISE GATHERING DETAILS:
Saturday June 4, 2022, 6pm Starting with light supper of mostly finger foods and fellowship. Praise and whatever as God leads until….
123 Scenic Outlet Ln, Mount Airy, NC 27030
In the Covenant Church facility in the shopping center between the Copper Pot restaurant and the Surry Rural Health Center.
(There is no registration, but we would sure like to hear from you if you are planning to come.)

2. God Is Pouring Out His Alabaster Box – Nancy Shupp
“There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.” Matthew 26:7.
When we read this story, we tend to concentrate on the woman and the cost of her sacrifice. But it must have been a very poignant moment for Jesus. He recognized her act as being that of anointing Him for burial. Can you imagine the different emotions Jesus might have felt as He thought about the culmination of His work on earth? Surely there was elation that He would finally fulfill His purpose and purchase our redemption. There must have been joy as He knew that he would soon be re-united with the Father, never to be separated again. I believe He was thrilled as He thought of the Father’s pleasure and pride as He welcomed Him home.
But I suspect there may have also been some thought of the horror of what was ahead. He knew that every force of Hell would be unleashed against Him to try to prevent Him from accomplishing His destiny. All the devil had to do to defeat God once and for all was to foil His plan of redeeming man back to Himself. If he could cause Jesus to sin or stop Him from being able to give His life willingly for us, he would finally have his revenge on God for throwing him out of Heaven. And even though Jesus knew all this before, the nearness of this epic struggle for the souls of men must have weighed heavily on Him. I wonder if He had any doubts about whether He would be able to endure the assault and come forth victorious.
I started thinking about all the forces of hell being released against us as we are endeavoring to fulfill our calling. Will we be equal to the task? Can we finish our course in victory and obtain the prize as Jesus and Paul did? Most of the time, I feel so inadequate, weak and sinful that it seems hard to imagine even standing in the face of the final onslaught of the enemy, much less being victorious.
As I was meditating on this, I saw the Father reach for an alabaster box and begin pouring it out on His children. Somehow I knew that it had been kept in reserve for such a time as this when the enemy is pouring out the full cup of his wrath because he knows his time is short. Knowing the great value and cost of the contents of the alabaster box with which the woman anointed Jesus, I couldn’t imagine what the contents of God’s alabaster box was or the power of its anointing. What would have the same value to God as the precious ointment did to this woman?
Suddenly I knew that the contents of God’s box and the end-time anointing He is pouring out are His great love for us. His box is filled with a love that allowed Him to watch as Jesus was mocked, spat on, beaten and crucified. A love that didn’t unleash His wrath or judgment even as He heard His dear Son cry in anguish “My God, My God, why have You forsaken me”. It contains a love that forgives those that curse Him and rebel against His ways when they simply turn to Him in repentance. God’s alabaster box is filled with an extravagant love that transcends our human ability to comprehend.
The disciples got upset when the woman poured the contents of her box on Jesus because it seemed to be a waste to shower so much on just one man. They still didn’t understand the magnitude of the battle ahead. As God’s alabaster box is broken and poured on us, I wonder if the cloud of witnesses will marvel at the lavishness of the love and anointing given to just one generation. Or knowing the ferocity of the enemy we face, will they rejoice at the provision of the Father to enable us to usher our King to the throne as conquerors?
Perilous times are ahead and evil will wax worse and worse. But the ultimate weapon of the Father’s love has been poured out. Those who receive and walk in it will redefine what Christian means. We will be changed so radically that a new vocabulary will need to be established to describe it. The world is about to see a new heart in us that causes their heart to melt with love and desire for the One who loved them and gave Himself for them. Break open your alabaster box and give God your all just as He has done for you.
