Glory

 “Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God? (John 11:40)” 

Glory is a One Word Prayer. Glory is the verbal response to seeing the manifestation of the One Power and the One Presence in your life. Glory is the feedback that you give when you tangibly experience the fruit of your labor. Glory is the word that you say when you see results actualized through your health, relationships, and wealth because of living by Kingdom principles. Glory is how you express yourself when your good comes into expression on this physical realm. In the spiritual realm, you know that everything is complete; therefore, when you meet Spirit through your natural senses, you feel glory. 

Jesus, the Perfect Pattern, loved the sibling trio of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. Their home in Bethany was a refuge for him from the demands of ministry. His friendship with them gave him the balance that he needed in his life. Due to other responsibilities, Jesus was not able to heal Lazarus when he was sick, and he did not arrive at the family home until four days after Lazarus’ transition. In their grief of the loss of their brother, Mary and Martha focused on Jesus’ absence and late arrival. 

Although Jesus wept and dealt with his grief over the loss of his friend, he chose to be loving and supportive of Lazarus’ sisters. He focused on the present moment and allowed them to experience the glory of God for themselves. Lazarus’ sisters had seen the glory of God through the prevention of death. They heard of the glory of God through the resurrection of a person who was dead for several hours. Previously, they never experienced the glory of God through the resurrection of a dead body that had already started decomposing. Jesus knew that this was an opportunity for the sisters to experience the glory of God in a new and impactful way. Any challenge you face is an opportunity for you to experience the glory of God in a way that you have never have before.

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
