Expect FATHER’S River of Life to flow out of you!
It was written by THE SPIRIT in Ezekiel chapter 9:
3 Now the Glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side;
4 and the LORD said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
And in chapter 10:
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Then the Glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s Glory.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
18 Then the Glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.
19 And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house, and the Glory of the God of Israel was above them.
In Chapter 11:
22 So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the Glory of the God of Israel was high above them.
23 And the Glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.
FATHER’S Glory will not reside in a locale of unrighteousness where abominations occur! As believers, however, we are promised that the Holy Spirit (God’s Glory) will never leave us, because we are stamped, sealed, and confirmed by Him as Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 1:
20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the Glory of God through us.
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
22 Who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
It is possible, however, to quench and block His Spirit from coming forth through us, which will then prevent the manifestation of the presence of God in our lives.
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 4:
7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
8 And above all things have fervent Love for one another, for “Love will cover a multitude of sins.”
9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
11 If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the Glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
To glorify God means to personally reflect His Presence, to manifest and show forth His Life and His radiance. Glorifying God means displaying His Character and all the fruits of the Spirit to the world. God’s glory is seen by the transformation of a believer’s life.
Each of us must make our own assessment of whether we are truly glorifying FATHER or promoting ourselves. Let our Love for others be fervent and our focus is to allow HIS Glory to flow in a greater fashion in all that we say and do.
