TEXT: Hebrews 12:22-24King James Version (KJV)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the
living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which
are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just
men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the
blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Each time we walk into a moment of worship, something out of
the ordinary happens. According to the writer of the book of Hebrews, when we
step into the presence of God, something amazing happens. At such moments we
actually stepped into the gathering of innumerable company of angels, the
spirit of just men made perfect, where there is a cloud of glory. Not many of
us are conscious of this awesome reality, and this is one reason why we
trivialize moments of worship.
Except you are hungry and desperate for the presence of God
you are likely to cut yourself off the glory. The man who will have access to
God’s glory, is the one who is passionate about dying to the flesh.
Many people get distracted by the pleasures of the flesh and
the opinion of others, but the soul that is desperate after God is not moved by
what people say or do. His hunger is strong enough to propel him to overcome
every challenge. Any man who is truly desperate for God makes a progressive
journey in perceiving and becoming more acquainted with God. But the man who is
still passionate in the things of the flesh cannot find the glory God. Romans
8:7 tells us that those that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Only those who seek for the presence and glory of God with
every passion of their being are able to access the power and glory of God.
The glory realm is only open to those whose hearts are open
to God. If you want to enter His glory, you must decide to go beyond the
ordinary level where most people stop. You can truly know and walk in the power
of God, but you must be ready to pay the price. Go after God with all your
heart and you will be amazed the glory that will follow. Shalom!
