THE PLACE OF GLORY

APRIL 25TH

TEXT: Luke 9:28-36 King James Version (KJV)

28. And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

29. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

30. And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

31. Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.

32. But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

33. And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

34. While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

35. And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

36. And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

Kathryn Kuhlman remains one of the most anointed vessels of God that ever lived. I once read about how she came out of an airplane and as she greeted the band boys who came to welcome her with music, they all fell under the power of God. It was a foretaste of the glory to come in that meeting. Wherever God is taking you, there should be some manifestations to herald it. Begin to rejoice in hope.

CONTEMPLATION

If you listen carefully to most people with undeniable evidences of the presence of God while they minister; you will hear them say words like, “when I was praying” or “... as I spent time in the presence of the Lord...” I heard, the Lord told me..., I saw..., My eyes were opened...” it is obvious they have had a foretaste of the glory they are now encountering. They are all human beings as you are. When you have a glimpse into the glory that is to come, it builds in you a confidence that something good will happen for sure. Whatever God revealed to you through dream, vision or direct prophetic declaration, He is able to fulfill in due season. Don’t give up.

PRACTICAL ISSUES

There is a great difference between a mere dream and a divine visitation from God. What do you have?

Every dream, vision and prophecy must line up with the promises in the word of God, therefore in all your getting, get understanding.

If you can find any man whose life is consistent with the word of God and the glory that is to be revealed, stick with him and your troubles shall be few.
