As we walk in Holiness, we will build the “temple” for HIS Glory to manifest in us!
FATHER has provided us with the blueprint to walk in HIS Glory.
This series has been focused on “the doing”! We are to follow the blueprint:
First, the promise; then the instructions (the commands); then the doing of it; and finally, the Glory manifests.
Most believers will find a promise but will not follow the associated commands. Then they wonder why FATHER did not manifest the promise. Claiming a promise from Scripture does not simply cause it to come to pass. You are to follow the blueprint to receive manifestation.
It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Kings chapter 5:
1 Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife.
3 Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.” (The Promise)
4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel.”
5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.
7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”
8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” (The Instructions)
The instructions are challenged by “the flesh”:
11 But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’
12 Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
14 (The Doing): So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean (The Glory manifested).
These steps are repeated over and over in Scripture, yet believers attempt to bypass the commands and doing. We are to consecrate or “set apart” ourselves unto Holiness as FATHER has commanded. We are then to walk in Holiness and not allow ourselves to be “desecrated” by the world’s values. As we do, HIS Glory will manifest Itself in our lives.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Chronicles chapter 7:
1 When Solomon had finished praying, Fire came down from Heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the Glory of the LORD filled the temple.
2 And the priests could not enter the House of the LORD, because the Glory of the LORD had filled the LORD’s house.
3 When all the children of Israel saw how the Fire came down, and the Glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the LORD, saying: “For HE is good, For His mercy endures forever.”
If our temple has been properly prepared to receive HIS Glory, be assured that HIS Glory will fill our individual temples!
