Let my Glory Fill the Temple
Then the man brought me to the gate facing east, and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory. The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing the east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord fill the temple.
Ezekial 43:1-5 (NIV)
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? I Corinthians 3:16
This is the day for the glory to once again fill the temple. I do not speak of a building or a meeting place, but rather the temple of the body. The Glory of God is coming from the east and he once again want to fill HIS temple with HIS glory. Are you willing to be filled with the glory of the Lord? Are you willing to fall on your face in his holy presence? Are you willing to see what he would have you to see? Open the gate to the east! Let the glory of the Lord fill you. Be prepared, for you shall never be the same again. Once you have experienced his glory, you will long to live in the glory for all your days.
This filling will not be accomplished unless you are willing to obey the Lord and to be humble before him. We live in a land that is desolate and barren. Look around you, in the spirit. Death surrounds us on all sides. We see it on the televisions, we hear it on the radios in the music, we see it in the faces of the people around us, we see it in the eyes of the children. In Jesus name, this death is defeated. We need the life of the Lord Jesus! We need the glory of the Lord each day in our lives. Humble yourself before him. Fall on your face. Let nothing hold you back. Let the glory of the Lord fill you!
Father, in Jesus name I want to be filled with your glory. Lord let us be that vision of Ezekial. In Jesus name, fill us that there is no room for anything else. Father let your glory radiate on our faces, as it did the face of Jesus after the transfiguration. Lord, transfigure us!! Change us! Let us not remain as we are. Move us out of our comfort zones and into the realm of the Spirit, in Jesus name, amen!
