Message for April 18, 2021 from Pastor Shirley

Last Sunday while ministering I sensed a surge of the Holy Spirit.  I heard the words, “The day’s of greater glory!  Today God wants this word released to you.                                                    
Haggai 2:9 “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former. I believe we are now in the “days of greater glory” the Lord spoke about in this verse”.                        
What is the glory of God?  In Exodus 33:18-19, we read that Moses asks to see God’s glory and God’s response is that his “goodness” will pass before him. “I beseech you to show me your glory. “I will make all my goodness pass before you. God’s response to Moses, “my goodness is my glory.”  God goes on to say to Moses, “I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy”.

The glory of God is the manifestation of His presence, His power, and His goodness.  The manifestation of God’s presence is his glory.  

Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. We were born again to reign and manifest the glories of the Kingdom of God on the earth. We are God’s glory bearers in that we express the goodness of God on the earth. Yes this is the day of greater glory.  

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.   Isaiah 60:1
