When I first heard about the REALMS OF GLORY, I felt an overwhelming desire to delve deeper into the scriptures. I began to look up every reference, every passage that might shed light on this profound concept.
The more I explored, the more I realized just how rich and layered the biblical text is regarding the manifestations of God's glory. The scriptures serve as a divine compass, guiding us through the myriad teachings and experiences that are shared in various ministries.
I always find scripture to be the best and ONLY Boundary of all that is being ministered about, as it provides a solid foundation upon which we can build our understanding of God's workings in our lives and in the world around us.
Yet, as I immersed myself in the Word, I was left in awe of GOD when I began to witness the transformation of those around me whenever The Presence of Glory would enter the room.
It was as if a veil was lifted, and the atmosphere became charged with divine energy. I saw many signs and wonders that totally filled me with joy unspeakable, moments that seemed to defy explanation and logic, yet were undeniably real and tangible.
The power of God's glory was evident in the lives of those who were touched, and it was a privilege to witness such profound changes.
Let me share a testimony about a young girl named Emma, whose story has stayed with me ever since. Emma was such a delight to her family, radiating joy and innocence, and she was OPEN to all that God had for her. Her spirit was vibrant, and she was deeply loved by her parents and siblings alike.
The Season was Christmas time, a period filled with joy, family gatherings, and the warmth of shared traditions. During the holidays, Emma and her family played a delightful game that they called a Jesus hunt. They would take turns hiding a figurine of Jesus, and the fun they would have looking for him became a cherished family tradition.
One day, after returning home from school, Emma was particularly excited about the game. She knew she would have to find the Baby Jesus, and as she looked into the manger, her eyes widened in amazement when she discovered a stunning blue diamond nestled there.
O how ecstatic she was! This was no ordinary find; it felt like a divine treasure bestowed upon her.
We always have a glory meeting around 12th night during the Holidays, a time when we gather to celebrate and share the miraculous happenings in our lives.
Emma came to the meeting with her testimony, her face glowing with excitement as she held up the blue diamond for everyone to see.
She shared how she had taken it to school, where one of her classmates was so enthralled by its beauty that she felt compelled to give it to Emma as a gift from God.
This act of obedience to GOD is a testament to the beauty of selflessness and generosity. When Emma returned home that evening and looked into the manger once more, she was overjoyed to find not one, but two diamonds!
Her heart was brimming with joy! She came to the 12 night meeting to share her testimony, and in a moment of pure exuberance, she ran and jumped into my arms. We both hit the floor laughing and enjoying the sweet Presence of the Lord that enveloped us.
What we didn’t know at that moment was that Emma was a very sick girl, facing an impending doctor’s visit that weighed heavily on her family.
However, after that moment of GLORY, we found out that she had been miraculously healed. Isn't it wonderful how GOD chooses to heal someone in the most unexpected ways? Lil Emma was healed through the simple acts of giving and laughing, enveloped in the joy of the Lord. How wonderful God is, showing us that His methods of healing often transcend our understanding and expectations.
Proverbs 17:22 states, "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." This verse perfectly encapsulates the essence of Emma's experience, illustrating how joy can bring about healing and restoration in our lives.
Similarly, in Luke 6:38, we are reminded, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” This scripture highlights the principle of generosity and how our willingness to give can open the floodgates of blessings in our lives.
O dear ones, how good it is to know Jesus and to share the good He has done in our lives! Each testimony, each act of kindness, and every moment spent in His presence is a reminder of His love and faithfulness.
May you be blessed and overflowing in His love today, experiencing the fullness of joy that comes from walking in His glory!
