The Mystery of God's Glory

Where does God show His glory today? He began showing His glory in the creation of the earth. He has shown it in everything He made. He was in the cloud and fire that lead the Israelites. He certainly showed us His glory in Jesus the Christ. He has shown His glory in the tabernacle. Moses saw His glory so up close God had to hide him in a cave so Moses could only see His back, that is how strong His glory is.

When Moses came down off the mountain he had to wear a veil because God's glory was so bright. But where does He show His glory now? I want to see God's glory, where can I see it? Hold on to your hats, here it goes,

GOD SHOWS HIS GLORY THROUGH THOSE THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIAN!

We learned today that many people when they hear about Jesus and how He died for their sins, will ask for God's forgiveness and become a Christian. Then they will start to follow God and to be all God wants them to be. Then they run into something He asks and they are not ready to be obedient. People will often choose to follow their friends and the culture instead of the word of God, the Bible. Some people are so much looking to be cool, they end up not following God and can't figure out what went wrong.

God wants so much to fill us with His glory, and we have to be willing to allow Him. The way we do that is by surrendering to Him. I am not talking about surrendering this or that, that is good. I am talking about letting go of anything that comes between God and me. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, if God speaks to us and we are not obedient that is sin and it separates us from God's glory.

So how does God fill us with His glory? We give God our all. This can be done by praying and allowing God to show you what He is not in control of. We give it to God, we give Him our family, job, friends, money and anything that He puts His finger on. Then we come to the crossroad, we will give God ourselves completely, holding nothing back. At this time He will clean us from all sin, inner and actions. And then we can enjoy the glory of God.

We had several in our service do just that today. God changes lives all the time at TBWC and if you don't have a home church, come visit with us and see what God wants to do in your life. If you would like to know more about this complete cleansing power of God, just let me know.

I know this, God wants to cleanse each of us completely!
