THE WAVE OF GLORY IS COMING!

The movements of the Holy Spirit can be likened to waves that grow and grow, gaining momentum until they break on the seashore.  This is called the wave of God’s visitation.

God is the wave maker.  You can also see a man-made wave making machine at some recreational parks today. This water produces artificial waves.

MOVING IN THE GLORY 

                                  

God's Glory Cloud Is Moving today.  God's Divine Guidance to His People in Exodus 40:36-37. In these end times the move of the Spirit involves a restoration of the Glory to the Bride of Christ, the Church.

Israel in the wilderness was blessed when they followed God’s cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. We in the New Testament era can likewise incur great blessings by “following the cloud” of God's presence, purposes, and guidance.

In Exodus 13:17-22  ...[18a] So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.... [20] After leaving Succoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. [21] By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. [22] Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

When they settled in one place, it was because the glory was there.  In that place, they were blessed – because of the glory; in that place, things went well. But when the cloud lifted they moved along with the cloud. But the blessing is not in a place; it’s in the cloud; it’s in God’s Presence.  The cloud is the visible sign of God’s presence.

The cloud was a tangible sign of change – they have to move on. Many lovely Christian find them-selves sitting too long in a beautiful tabernacle once they knew the glory and revelation. But they did not feel the glory as before.  God is doing a new thing every time. 

The ability to draw a crowd is not an indication that someone is living under the cloud of God’s glory.  Old things do not move us to excellence.  God is always on the move. “Behold am doing a new thing!”  From Isaiah to Revelation

The cloud must lead and speak to them.  Don’t let the cloud move on without us. Moving is not always easy. It involves pulling up stakes, packing things up and carrying heavy stuff. 

If you feel the fire within the fire burning, don’t hesitate. Move on. If you sense the cloud moving on, you must move on with it. The move doesn’t happen according your timing. God cannot always accommodate our schedule. He moves as He wills and if you are not moving with Him you are left behind.  Many congregations are behind struggling to move forward.

God is more important than a method, a system, or a program.  Come back to the simplicity of His presence.  Under the cloud is the place of safety. It is the only place of divine health. It is guaranteed divine provision and lasting ones. The only place of sure Revelation of Christ and is the place which guarantees us salvation for our households and our nations.  

The Church we must follow the cloud at all cost. You have no alternative. You must give up what you have to give up; give away what you have to give away; sell what you have to sell; but move with the glory cloud.  Don’t let anything or anybody hold you back.  Turn back and find the cloud if His presence has gone. Rise up and go quickly after the cloud. Don’t delay.  Father, you cry out, “Give me the passion for the Glory Cloud”
