Let The King Of Glory Come In
by David Lai

Text: Hab 2:14

We cannot see God but we can experience the manifestation of the Lord through His glory. Where the glory is there God is. Our purpose is to do the work of God & expand the kingdom of God. For this we need God's glory as behind the glory is the King of glory. Ps 24:7-10. Everything God creates reflects His glory. We are the everlasting doors and we were called from the beginning of time.

• What did God breathe into Adam? Gen 2:7
• The same Holy Spirit was breathed into the disciples. Jn 20:22
• This is the Spirit of glory.1 Pet 4:14
• That same spirit of glory is in us to bring Him glory.
• We work to manifest His glory.
  

Ex: Do we control money or does money control us? If we were created for His glory, then everything we have is to bring Him glory by doing His work and expanding the Kingdom of God.

OWNERSHIP VS. STEWARDSHIP. EZE 28:11

• God gave Lucifer stewardship but he wanted ownership and that brought his fall. Are we owners or stewards?
• Adam received the original word from God but Satan twisted this word to Eve. Gen 3:1-5
• Eve was given stewardship but she wanted ownership. Gen 3:6

ALLOWING THE GLORY TO WORK IN AND THROUGH US

• Pro 18:20-21 Our spirit responds to words. Whether good or bad.
• Ex 33:18-23 Moses saw what God saw-seeing from the back of God.
• Gen 13:10 Lot saw the outside. v14-Abraham saw from the inside of God.

Before-From faith to faith (Mark 11:23 whoever -anyone, unbelievers included) How to differentiate an unbeliever from a believer?

Now-From glory to glory (Col 1:15, 2 Cor 3:18)-spirit dimension helps us to change from glory to glory. This is the difference!

HOW DOES GOD'S GLORY OPERATE IN AND THROUGH US?

• John 17:4-5 We receive His Glory as we do His work to extend His Kingdom I.e. inviting our loved ones to hear the good news.
• Jn 17:21-22 When we extend the glory to others. By bringing them to Christ.
• Acts 7:55-60 Heaven is open when we are on assignment. Stephen preached to a tough crowd through the glory (of God).
