PASTOR CHRIS FRIDAY, APRIL 11TH GLORIFIED BY HIS GLORY All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. Isaiah 60:7 Gods glory changes constantly and continuously on His throne. The angelic beings see His glory and bow in worship. By the time they raise their heads, the glory has changed, and they bow again; this continues throughout eternity. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen (Revelation 7:11-12). Something beautiful happens when we behold the glory of God and worship Him. The more of His glory we see, the more glorious we become; the more were beautified by His glory, and we cant but glorify Him again. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). Through worship, our spiritual eyes are opened to behold the glory of God. Incidentally, when we see His glory, we see our glory. Thats why God tells us to worship Him; its so we can behold His glory and be glorified. You can expect miracles when you worship Him because, then, your eyes are opened to see what youd never have seen any other way. You forget about yourself and focus on the only one who matters. Some people think angels know everything about God, but thats not true. According to Ephesians 3:10, theyre still trying to figure Him out. To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God. Youre the glory of God, and He demonstrates His manifold wisdom to angelic beings through you! CONFESSION I was born for the glory of God and my life is glorified by His Word. Sickness, disease, infirmity, and failure have no place in me because, as He is, so am I in this world! FURTHER STUDY 1 John 4:17 Romans 8:30
