The Manifest Glory

Text: Heb 12: 26-29
More Lessons: Ex 19: 16-25
Bible Reading in one Year: Jeremiah 6-8

One dimension to the glory of God is that it is the visible manifestation of God. God's glory is the clear and obvious evidence of God presence in a situation. It makes everybody know for sure that God is involved or present in the matter. This explanation is not to make you have the impression that the glory of God is just a cloud, an imagination or some physical phenomenon. Of course, when God comes to manifest Himself visibly to you, that's glory; but the point is that the glory of God is God showing up in your situation. When you seek the glory of God, you are seeking for the manifestation of God. May God manifest Himself to you, in the Name of Jesus.

In Exodus 19, God visibly visited His people, and the whole universe; the whole creation began to tremble. That's God manifesting Himself. People were warned not to come around the glory lest they be destroyed. The manifest glory of God is a dangerous weapon against every enemy, situation and mountain that confronts you.

Also, in the New Testament, Paul and Silas were in the prison, and as they sang and gave praise, the Bible says there was an earthquake. The place quaked, the chains were broken; that is the visible manifestation of the glory of God. There are certain prisons of life that can only be terminated by the visible manifestation of the glory of God. When certain matters become impossible in your life, ask for the visible manifestation of the glory of God. When He shows up, there is thunder, lightning and earthquake against your enemies.

The Hebrew word for glory is Kabod and it literally means weight. The glory of God is weighty; so when the enemy or situations perplex you throw the glory of God (the manifestation of God) upon/to them and you will see that they can't handle it. When the enemy rises against you, don't fidget or panic. Just invoke the glory of God. The glory brings you courage, boldness and power and it also threatens and destroys the enemy. It announces to the world that God is present and made manifest in your situation.
