RELEASING THE RIVER OF GOD’S GLORY 2

RELEASING THE RIVER OF GOD’S GLORY 2

TEXT: Psalm 46:1-5(AMP)

To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the sons of Korah, set to treble voices. A song.

¹ God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas,

³ Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling andtumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

⁴ There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

⁵ God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning].

The great revivals and move of God are not limited to the pages of the scriptures as we are the living epistles of God in our own generation. Some people may never open the pages of the scriptures or come to church to meditate on the word of God but they will cannot help but relate with us one way or the other and that is where the Lord depends on us to let the world see His glory.

CONTEMPLATION

 “Heaven knows we need a wave of God’s revival to restore

the church back to the place of passionate worship, and the

time is now.

If the glory of the latter will be greater than that of the

former, then there must be something more than what we

have ever seen or heard.” FFPW p.164.

the glory of the former house was upon the temple of Solomon but the glory of the latter house is upon the individual that has now become the temple of God indwelling us by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). When the people of God come to acknowledge this then there will come an unusual move of God of great proportion. Gradually the understanding is spreading and there is this shift in the church of God that is giving birth to strange ministries that need no formal registration before they begin to affect a great multitude. The river of glory is flowing and the days of glory are here.

PRACTICAL ISSUES

That which only motivates men to seek their own materialistic gain is not qualified to be called revival.  If the world can produce the same result it is not the revival we speak of. There is much more to it.

The prophet Elijah stood alone against the 450 prophets of Baal (1 kings 18:22) and at the end of the day the nation was restored back to God because when the people saw fire fall from heaven the fell down and worshipped saying “the Lord, He is God; the Lord He is God ” (1 Kings 18:39). When the people encounter the glory they will worship.
