THE SIX GLORIES OF GOD
Today there are so many lost Christians because they do not have a prophetic understanding of where God is taking His church in this present season.
God will always give His children something tangible so that we can it can help our faith to believe in the intangible or invisible, There are many types and shadows in the Old Testament that gives a better understanding of spiritual things. We are better able to understand and grasp spiritual things when we see the type and shadow in the Old Testament. For example, we can have a better understanding of the anointing when we learn how God instructed Moses to create a physical anointing that could be seen and touched.
God reveals Himself through His glory and His glory has to do with the tangible, localized reality of His presence.
Moses used all the different components that were compounded together that he used that to anoint holy vessels in the tabernacle.
We also have better understanding of Jesus as the sacrificial lamb when we study how the Israelites took a spotless lamb and sacrificed it and shed its blood for the sins of the people. When Jesus came, He shed His precious blood and became the sacrificial lamb so that no longer have to sacrifice animals,. But God used that physical, tangible method in the Old testament so that we can understand the spiritual value of salvation.
The same applies when we study the coming glory of God. The church is about to step into a new season of God’s Glory and in order to have a better understanding of this prophetic coming move of God, we need to once again look at the type and shadow of the glory of God which was manifest tangibly and physically so that we can build up our faith for what is about to be released upon the earth.
God has great plans for His church in the last days and the church is going to finish strong and not weak. The bible teaches us that the coming glory is going to be greater than any past experiences.
We are going to study the six glories of God and shown in Scripture.
If we look at the glory of God throughout history, we find that God has always used one person who initiates the glory with twelve others. In other words, there is always one leader and twelve key persons that God uses and this pattern follows right through to the New Testament. Prophetically, we can conclude that this will also apply to any future manifestations.
1. THE GLORY OF MOSES
The first glory that the Bible refers to is the glory of Moses. Moses started his spiritual journey with God when he encountered God at the burning bush. God began to unveil His plan to save the Israelites from bondage and hardship. Whenever God shows up, it is to bless the people and to sue use them or a greater glory or a greater purpose for His kingdom. It usually starts out with small things and the big surprises come later. When we are faithful with small steps of faith, God eventually entrusts us with greater things that produce greater blessings for ourselves and for others.
When Moses walked towards the burning bush, he took his first step towards God. When we step towards the miraculous and believe God for miracles then God can trust us with His glory. I am sure Moses must have encountered a lot of burning bushes in the hot desert and he could so easily have dismissed this one. But he did not and walked towards in faith. The very message of his life, purpose, and ministry came through that burning bush. God chose one person to connect with and that person had the key to the destiny of an entire nation that would affect it for countless future generations.
There are so many things that we as believers dismiss as irrelevant or unimportant but they are things that God is showing us that has spiritual significance and can lead the way for us for the rest of our life. Do not despise the beginning of small things.
You may have taken a step by faith and started Bible school and that step of can be your burning bush experience which will lead you to greater things in the future so that you can burn brighter for Jesus. this is the way God works. It is His pattern and not ours.
Moses had his first encounter with the supernatural at the burning bush and from that day onwards God started using him great authority when he confronted Pharaoh with supernatural signs and wonders.
Exodus 24:16-18 - Now the glory of the LORD rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. The sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
