THIRSTING FOR GOD'S POWER AND GLORY

THIRSTING FOR THE POWER OF GOD

Our text taken from Psalms 63:1, 2 to 5

“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; My soul thirst for You; My flesh longs for You

In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.  So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,

To see Your power and Your glory.”

The word in Psalms says to us our flesh longs, our soul thirsts and our spirit seeks after God.  Your spirit touches God and comes to the Holy of Holies,  a place when you do nothing but receive and see Him.  His  Glory and Power.  This is the place where you’re not longing , not thirsting but you are drinking. Be still and know God. You can’t talk. You’re not interested in what He can do for you – you’re interested in Knowing Him and want More of Him.

Psalms 16:2 -  David says “I have seen your power and beheld your glory” (My spirit seeks after thee)  When you are all out for God you will see His manifest power in your life and only thirsty people will see the power of God in their lives.  God wants you to see His power in the church today.  The Gospel is a gospel of Power.  The Book of Acts ‘says I have given you “Power” – ‘dunamis’.   Jesus gave power to us for His kingdom is the kingdom of power. His at the right hand of power is Jesus. And Jesus will come with power and rule with power.  Every knee shall bow and mouth confess that He is Lord. 

There are Waves of Glory coming to His Church. His Awesome Presence as in Genesis 28:16,17 – Jacob saw His Awesome Presence -  the House of God.  David also has seen His Power and Glory.  And there is power in His Name, there is power in His Blood and the Gospel. There is power to defeat the devil, power to provide and power to deliver even divide the Red Sea.   Only what have we done to the Gospel of Power? 

The Glory Provides  for His people in  Psalms 78:15, 16, 24 – The Israelites followed the Glory when they journey in the dry wilderness.  In their  Glory walk they experienced miraculous provisions of water and manna.  There’s provision and satisfaction with the glory food from above.  Your soul will be satisfied when you see and follow His Glory.

That Glory  also sustains Moses – Exodus 24:28-29 – Moses face shone with God’s glory while he talked with God in Mt. Sinai.  One of the most important aspect of ministry  is His glory will sustain us with longevity, productivity and success in serving Him.  Many have failed to persevere and press on, others failed to fulfill their calling and destiny.  But the glory of God will refresh you again and again.  Instead of a burden you will be touched with joy and delight in serving God. 

   

The Glory gives you pleasure in serving God.  You will minister from the innermost being that flows from your spirit and you will not struggle most of the time.  Moses was sustained  for 40 days and nights when he immersed in God's Glory. He ate nothing. He just talked with God. That is where you soul will be satisfied with the Word of God and that’s where pleasures forevermore are. That’s where you will enjoy being a Christian. 

The Glory will open your mouth to praise Him. Then you will praise and thank God.  Verses  3 & 4 - Then God will hear your singing lips.  You will sing with grace. Then the result of praising and thanksgiving is Victory.   David says “My soul will be satisfied with richest food.   You will never be satisfied with any other food or things other than Your Loving and Gracious God.  As Jesus says “My meat is to do the will of God that sent Me”
