It often times we have to shout and praise and magnify God.
And we do it for what is done in our lives right, but there comes a time that you have to do that, even when you don't see it happening, you shout because you know you shall is why Jesus said blessed are the poor in spirit, for they shall.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall everybody shout shout, so the difference between praise and worship, and I thought on this Wednesday night phrases your thinking God is thinking you're honoring him for what he's done in your life but worship is totally different worshipers you thinking him in and honoring him even though you haven't seen it manifest in the natural as of yet, a man so were here to worship God because there's a lot of things that you shall see. There are a lot of things that you shall have but in the midst of it all. We honor and magnify God Jehovah God Jehovah Pelé my deliverer, Jehovah McTavish, my sanctifier Jehovah race of the God who heals all of my diseases hallelujah Jehovah signature knew my righteousness actually is Ella hating a lot. They remember that one from Wednesday night I remembered it, but God of my praise is either God of your praise this morning, raise your hand and shout yes hallelujah so good to have you. I wish you would contact us middle little bit more because I got a bridge like this and I like this but the workout a man a man what's good that's is no better Moses. I don't want to be a brother a man a pastor. The church of 5 million and elevated right so a man all right if you have your Bible, let's go to two verses Romans chapter 1 there for just a moment and second Corinthians chapter 3, you can hold you place there as well. Romans chapter 1 hallelujah are you faithful to the word of God, usually God's doing a workable, aggressive Christian center, a man, his presence is so wonderful this morning. I will preach about the faith and the glory that we abide in on this earth.
You know the Bible says we are moving from faith to faith and from glory to glory, but I believe the body of Christ. I believe the church of Jesus Christ is been held up for a home time and it's time we get moving again.
You believe that all right Romans chapter 1 verse 17 hallelujah Romans one verse 17 for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith.
That's what I want you to get right there from faith to faith.
And if you dig into the Greek translation of your Bible that actually means moving from faith to faith. In other words, faith, walking in faith, living by faith as the verse continues to say the just shall live by faith.
While Habakkuk 2 for the prophet declares the just shall live by his faith.
It's a personal faith.
It's a personal walk with God.
I wake up in the morning living by faith I eat my lunch living by faith, brush my teeth, living by faith. It's a walk, not by what you see, not by how you feel but you're simply walking by. Everybody shout it faith from faith to faith.
Now look at another verse second Corinthians 318.
The apostle Paul once again second grievance 318. I love this one, but we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory. I want to get that even as by the spirit of the Lord so the Bible declares to us that we should be living in walking from faith to faith from glory to glory.
In other words, you should be advancing in your relationship with the Lord. In other words, you should be moving from from faith to more faith because when you place faith in God in your life. The Bible says have faith in God forever. You just master that right Mark 1122 have faith in God moving from faith to faith. When you go through a trial or a tribulation of sort order. Faith is tested and you come out victorious shout victorious hallelujah and you come out victorious. It arouses more faith in your life.
Why, because you can look back on the past and you can build present faith from past victories because you know that he brought you through before and that he's going to do it again.
It may not look like it may not feel like it, and they may tell you that it won't happen, but faith says, I shall happen hallelujah and what's the devil going to do with a bunch of people that know that they shall have it.
Hallelujah.
You could say I may not have it now, but I shall have moving from faith to faith.
Glory to glory.
Know what is faith. We know that versus the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Right faith. You realize that every human being has a measure of faith. Romans 12 read the Bible says that God has dealt Everyman. The measure of faith. You have all the faith that you will ever need right now.
Every human being is born with that measure of faith. That's why there's so many Hindus. That's why there are so many Muslims. That's why there are so many hired Christians because they have faith just in the wrong God, but they have the measure of faith. And it's our job to point them to the most high God should die the Almighty call sufficient God hallelujah that's the whole point of missions right Everyman has the measure of faith. Just like you have the right amount of blood in your body coursing through your veins and if you lost some you would die and if you gain some you would not live for the Bible says the life of the flesh is in the blood. Blood to the flesh is what faith is to your spirit man. Do you realize that without faith or spirit man will die, but the Bible says you must live and walk by faith and not by sight, not by your flesh, not by your blood by how you feel but the Lifeforce abiding on the inside of you moving from faith to faith growing in your relationship with Almighty God really tell you something if you're staying stagnant right now. Do not advancing the kingdom of God, you realize that in fact Jesus said if you are lukewarm, that's worse than being told I'm just going to be a water spitter and spew you out of my mouth. That's what he declared that Nick but it's time to turn up the heat for God, you realize that it's time to go to a deeper level, it's time to go to a new place for this church right here. I refuse to allow us to get content. I refuse to allow this body of believers to stay in one place for any given amount of time we must be looking toward the future in faith. Hallelujah. I told him Wednesday night we got a building project going on out here and sometimes I just walk out on the property and I open up doors that are not even better yet I start walking up and down the halls that don't even exist. I stand on a pulpit that's not even there and declare the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because I see with the eyes of faith in the name of Jesus Christ. Everybody raise your hands to heaven.
There's a suicide spirit on somebody right now that's coming off in the name of the most high God hallelujah that spirit cannot and will not stay in this place right now. I bind you devil and I will instead individual in Jesus name. Today is your day and that spirit will not bother you anymore and you're coming to Jesus Christ by faith right now right here today all hallelujah moving from faith to faith. You have enough faith coursing through your life right now to believe God to move mighty mountains. It's not the quantity of your faith that stuck quality of your faith.
Everybody saying what I just need more faith. The Bible talks about four times of faith.
Number one, there's no faith at some believe that's not really faith at all and there's little faith. Jesus said oh ye of little faith and been there's great faith. He told the Cyrus Venetian woman faces only what faith that you have and then there's the gift everybody shout gift, the gift of faith. One of the nine gifts of the spirit and the gift of faith is energized within you by the power of the Holy Spirit. I cannot tell you now that when you receive the gift of faith it's impossible to doubt God because it's the spirit of God energizing you and infusing you with the faith of God to believe for the impossible. You believe that shout yes I prefer the gift of faith. Hallelujah, the apostle said in Luke 17 verse five said, Lord, increase our faith. In other words, they wanted more faith and I tell people quit asking for more faith and just work on killing your unbelief because you have all the faith you will ever need to move mighty mountains. You don't need more volume.
You just need to exhibit what you have and what you exhibit the faith that you have it will grow thereby and you go from faith to faith continue moving the glory to glory hallelujah I said, Lord, increase our faith in Jesus at all.
If you just knew what you were saying.
He said, verily I say unto you, if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed all hallelujah that's not very much at all. You could say under the sycamore tree be plucked up by the roots and it shall obey you hallelujah it's not a matter of the volume of the quantity but the quality of what you are exhibiting your faith in any given area. That's why Jesus of faith in God. For verily, I say to you, whosoever argue whosoever shall say unto this mountain, what your mountain is it cancer is a depression is the enemy trying to destroy your marriage is a distant producing spirit is a spirit of fear or anxiety. All you have to do is what the lady said this morning. Just look at square in the eye, squared her shoulders against the enemy and command the mountain to be from the moon. From hence to yonder place and it shall obey you. Hallelujah, my God, I feel faith all over me right now. Hallelujah.
Work on killing your unbelief shout a man somebody faith to faith that we go from glory to glory, using faith arouses more faith because you can build on past experiences right.
The Bible says tribulation works patients. Patients experience and experience, hope why you have a no so hope not.
I hope so. Hope people tell me all the time will I hope so why so I hope it's a no so hope because you can know by faith that God is in control of your life. Yes hallelujah all right. Let's go to glory everybody shout glory with open face in a glass we see the glory of God. We are changing that image.
You know that glass, the referring in the Scripture is the Bible the word of God.
When you read the Bible. It's like a mirror, you see, it reflects who you are, but the good thing about God's word is that it has the power to change. You had to redeem you and to sanctify you Jesus that sanctify them by thy truth by word is truth.
Hallelujah when you get the truth of God embedded into your heart, no mountain, no devil, no enemy can stop you the principality or power can weigh you down because you're moving from faith to faith. It comes the glory of God. Because you see, faith produces prey.
That's right, usually somebody that pleases God no matter what's going on. Despite how anything sounds or feels and looks usually somebody that will lift their hands to the king of kings and the Lord of lords. Despite what's taking place, and I'll show you somebody full of faith, but you shall be somebody whose face looks like a cemetery in their eyes look like a graveyard and they stand there trying to impress their spouse and their kids in the preacher and God's not impressed. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you now because he's looking for somebody to lift up their voice.
He's looking for somebody to give him a shout of praise hallelujah because it's the shout that will bring the walls in your life, crumbling down to the ground, the God of my praise elevate to you how hot they hallelujah when you begin to think him and praise him, despite what's going on around you that shows that brings the glory of God you believe that most of the second Chronicles turned out real quick second Chronicles chapter 7 hallelujah is returning. I just want you to say addiction. You don't belong here.
Hallelujah we saw recovery groups at this church and walking them through how to stay free. I'm looking for a day when radical trans transformation comes into somebody's life and only reason they go to recovery group. Jim is just to enforce what God's already done.
Hallelujah. And it can happen.
Hey, I remember a day when the glory of God came into the house and you didn't have to pride and beg people to come to Jesus Christ.
They would run to Jesus Christ because when the glory of God is in a place their push to make a decision there plaster make a decision for Christ Jesus and that glorious here right now, raise your hands all over this place father visit us with your glory today manifest yourself hallelujah when you begin to praise him and magnify him.
You don't care how hot it is.
It doesn't matter because I'm telling you now the presence of God is hot. Anyway, you get a little of those of his glory and his presence in your life. It's like a heat that you've never felt before God to transform your life. Hallelujah.
Second Chronicles chapter 7 Solomon son of David, king of Israel, one of the wisest men that ever lived.estimated God declared to ask me whatever you want. You know what he asked for. He asked for wisdom know what wisdom is. Wisdom is knowing how to use knowledge that you have. I know people with letters beside their name. It looks like alphabet soup yet so many degrees, but they have no wisdom, therefore they can't find a job. Do you realize that wisdom is not hidden from you, it's hidden for you. The Bible talks about the hidden treasure of God's wisdom. Hallelujah. Jane said in James one and five if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives freely to all men at the upgrades not he doesn't show partiality. If you need wisdom did in the book did your prayer closet in the spirit and the wisdom of God will flood your life. Some of you need that wisdom today. Solomon asked for wisdom.
Second Chronicles chapter 70 builds a temporally dedicated to his God just as we dedicate this tabernacle to God today. Just like you should dedicate your tabernacle that you abiding on this earth, your flesh, man, you should dedicated to God today by giving yourself a living sacrifice, lifting up your hands and praise unto our God. Second Chronicles chapter 7 verse one now, when Solomon had made an end of praying the fire everybody shout fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices and the glory everybody shout glory of the Lord filled the house and the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord because the glory of the Lord had feel the Lord's house in order that happened in this place, which shall happen. I pray in that thing in her baby and when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down in the glory of the Lord upon the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying, for he is good and his mercy endures forever. You realize you have a good good father.
He is a good God is very good hallelujah but as they begin to pray the fire of God came upon the altar and consumed the sacrifice and that is the glory everybody shout glory, the glory of God. There's two types of glory their stuff on my presence of God. That's all around us right now and in the Bible. The Hebrew word for glory here means to press everybody shout press its own weight. It's heavy. If you've ever been in a church service for the glory of God is there.
You know what I'm talking about.
Hey, I come up in this thing. I know I've been in churches and I've been in services before the glory of God was so thick you had to make a decision everybody was healed. Everybody was set free because it was the Shekinah everybody shout Shekinah. The Shekinah glory of God is the visible, tangible presence of God the glory.
The fire that was the Shekinah glory of God when they presented the sacrifice in the tabernacle of Moses one day a year on the day of atonement and the sacrifice went up the Bible says that the glory of God. The fire of God consumed that sacrifice. That's the tangible glory of God. That same floor was a cloud by day and a fire by night. That led them through the wilderness.
Hallelujah. It's the glory of God. It's a white everybody shout weight when the glory of God is in a plot, raise your hands. I want you to see with the eyes of faith right now listen to me. I know your believing God for something I want you to see with the eyes of faith. I want you to look into the future and I want you to see what he sees and he sees victory. He sees deliverance he sees power bases glory hallelujah this is freedom I were the spirit of the Lord is his freedom.
Hallelujah.
Just look into the future with the eyes of faith today the glory of God is await it suppressing.
That's when the glory of the presence of God is in this place. Ladies and gentlemen that everything will be pressed out of an individual suicide will be pressed out addiction will be pressed out unforgiveness will be pressed out when you get into the presence of God.
You suddenly remember that person that you need to go to and say just forgive me I'm sorry for what I did.
You know why that happens when you're worshiping God because the glory of God is what presses that out of you and your convicted of sin. That's what it is that's the Holy Spirit using the glory of God the press out of you. The bitterness the wrath of jealousy.
The anger depresses it all. Everybody shout press the glory of God presses it all out with good Exodus chapter 33 moving from glory to glory you. I believe that the body of Christ that the church of Jesus Christ has been stuck for years now. I believe it is a traveling evangelist I saw big church after church after the church I really believe all my heart that in many congregations the glory of God has been lifted from that place and yell what they're saying sounds good and it looks good and it may even feel good, but the glory of God is not there. People will come in and leave the same way.
They walked in and we have to refuse to let that happen in this place. When I see people walking here who were not born again, who are bound by addiction and they leave the same way it breaks my heart. But we must have the glory of God in this place. Ladies and gentlemen I'm talking about the pressing of God, and we have ventless note… Chapter 33 with verse 17 Moses wanted to see the glory of God and the Lord said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou has spoken. For thou has found grace in my sight and I know the by name and he said, I beseech the show me thy glory is and I will make all my goodness pass before the and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before the and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Verse 20 and he said, thou canst not see my face. This is the Lord for there shall no man see me and live in the Lord said there is a place by me, and I want you to notice something to stop right there.
I want you to think about the instances in your Bible where men saw God, they visually seen him.
Ezekiel saw him he saw the chariots of fire. He saw the wheel within a wheel so we know that he saw a glimpse of the glory of God. We know that Isaiah Solomon, Isaiah chapter 6 in verse one is that I saw the Lord, high and lifted up and is training his robe filled the temple. And he said I am a man of unclean lips as that pressing again when you get into the presence of God into the glory of God. Men will start declaring that they are man with unclean lips, and they will realize they are a sinner in need of a Savior. You realize that that's what Isaiah was saying. He says I'm a man of unclean lips. I can't stand in his presence, and in his glory but he saw God but yet God says no they didn't see me and live.
So how did they live and not die. That tells us that we moved from glory to glory, but to tell you something every time you encounter him. He gets better every time you see her or him. He gets greater every time he invades your life.
It just gets so much sweeter. It's the glory in the presence of Almighty God. We stand in this alternately magnify him I would see miracle signs and wonders. It can and will and shall get better hallelujah because is always better is always greater. I would always move from faith to faith and glory to glory explicit.
I don't want what happened yesterday here. I don't what the revival of the past. I want to see God do a new thing is to miss this wave of glory that shall sweep across this earth like the waters cover the sea. Hallelujah from glory to glory hallelujah. Verse 22 and it shall come to pass why my glory passes by, that I will put thee in a sit in a cliff, thereby shoplift of the rock. You can just read your Bible, you have to walk read your Bible right what was the clearest. What was the hiding place license. Chapter 3 says we are hidden in Christ we are dead yet we live because we are hiding and abiding in Christ Jesus standing upon the rock from which is glory shall pass the solace.
David declared in Psalm 61 he says when I am overwhelmed God take me to the rock that is higher than any says that rocked in the wilderness was Jesus Christ. That same spiritual walk from what you drink, the living water. I just stand on the rock, and he hired you in his presence so that the glory of God to pass by my God in heaven. You will see the glory of God did in his presence.
You will see the glory of God: the name above every name, the name of Jesus Christ is the clearest is the hiding place is the rock on which you stand. Hallelujah, the software must continue and I will cover thee with my hand while I pass by, and I will take away mine hand, thou shalt see my back part but my face shall not be seen. This is significant here because Moses got to see the glory of God from behind the cross and follow me. Some of the glory of God pass by him.
He was hidden in Christ type and shadow.
He was in the Clift he was standing upon the rock. Hallelujah and he saw the glory of God come by and the Lord lifted his hand and let them see his back parts representing that he got to see the backside of Calvary and the glory of God, everybody, shall Jesus, you realize he is the glory of God.
In John chapter 1 verse one in the beginning was the word word was with God and the Word was God.
Verse 14 says, and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, did you hear what I said. We beheld his glory is the only begotten of the father. The Magi said, when Christ was born look to verse nine, the Bible says that the glory of the Lord shone round about for James to verse one Jesus calls them Jesus Christ the Lord of glory hallelujah in Matthew 17 in verse two, the apostle Saul and transfigured before the they said I see the glory of God around his face. Hallelujah.
Hebrews 1 verse three being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person putting all things by the word of his power by himself purged our sins, and sat down at the right hand of the Majesty called hot hallelujah Moses looked through the cross we get them back because only of God we can see face the scholarly fight, your God, usually glory belongs to God glory belongs to God, like light and he belonged to the son, hallelujah glory belongs to God.
Like water, belongs to the ocean glory belongs to God like ice belongs to the Arctic. It's his UC and he dispenses it as he wheels as you go from faith to faith are also going from glory to glory. I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, God is bringing his glory to willing vessel Christian center God is bringing his glory to Stokes County, North Carolina, God is bringing his glory to your house and you can see him face the end of the word for glory of the Hebrew languages honor when you presume you honor him when you're in his glory, you honor his presence.
Hallelujah. What you hear what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 6 is a prophet is without honor in his own country in the next verse says he could do no miracles there, but he will a few sick folks because there was no honor were living in a day and an hour where there's no honor there's no respect even in the body of Christ.
Nobody respects spiritual authority. Nobody wants to come up under the pastor. Nobody wants to come up under leadership because you got it all figured out right but when you come up under that authority. That's a blanket for you and your giving honor where honor is due. You realize that and when you began to do that and when you begin to honor one another.
Listen to me when would you picture in your fuss and fighting complaint about somebody sitting right beside of you dishonoring them and that dishonor will hinder the glory of God in our presence.
We live in a time when law enforcement is dishonored, the government is dishonored, the president of the United States. Whether you agree with them or not he deserves honor, because God has placed in their despite how you feel God has established that order in this life we are to honor that children don't honor their parents. Parents don't honor their children when you feel when you fail to discipline your children. The Bible says number one, you hate them even though you think you love them. When you fail to discipline your children, you just honor the Lord in his word because Paul says wives, submit yourself to your husbands. Husbands, love your wives like Christ loved the church.
Children obey your parents nor your kids reading that verse. No we didn't put it there for your children to read. He put it there for you to read to know how to discipline and structure your children, and when you fail to do that and when you fail to honor your spouse. Despite what they do and some of the things you say are creating the world around you realize that I hurt all the time.
My husband is just sorry as can be what he was and he is now the talking saying it. Watch it become a reality and watch it not change but you begin to call them the righteousness of God in Christ. Hallelujah, you begin to call them the favorite of the Lord when my wife gets upset at me to read Proverbs 31 my wife is a virtuous woman hallelujah I declare and decree that over her life.
Yes sir, say a man somebody and that's what begins to play out in her life. That's were called to honor one another and we get the honor back in place that's in the glory of God will cover the sanctuary. Are you hearing what I'm saying and we honor his word, we put his word first in our lives and we put God first in our lives to Jesus Christ. He will honor that and bring victory to your life. You believe it say a man honor everybody shall honor and assure one more thing with you is get back to chapter 3 this I read this the other day and sometimes if you read your Bible, you will learn very quickly that you can read it 100 times and it's always fresh. It's always fulfilling a man. I can't tell you how many times I've read this book from cover to cover, but I did tell you now when I get into Genesis 1 verse one. Sometimes it's like the thing just leaps off the page and because it's fresh, it's energized to tell you something, the more you know about God. The more you realize how much you don't know about God.
And the more questions you have. That's because he's good. That's because he's glorious.
That's because you're moving from glory to glory, from faith to faith. It never ends with God. It always gets better, and it never ends. There's no ending with God hallelujah. Listen, you realize it can be better in your life. It can be better but you have to choose to receive his glory, you have to choose number one to honor God. Number two, you have to choose to stand upon his word and number three you have to stop being a spectator and become a participator with God and God's people listen. Don't just come to this place and as we worship. Don't just stand there and spectate. Don't just watch what's going on. My God, get involved with the thing become a participator I'm a participation preacher deals anything up with a God that deals anything equipped.
He has forever surrendered his right to act independently in your life you realize that it's all free will are Habakkuk chapter 3. Are you there, the prophet had a hard time with God because during this time of Israel's history, God was bringing judgment upon Israel from the Babylonian Empire, and Habakkuk the prophet of God says Lord wire using something evil to take your people into captivity. That was his prayer. He says why and he has a talk with the Lord and in chapter 3 I love this. He begins to sing a song verse one of chapter 3 Habakkuk, a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon she had all of which is a song or Lord, I have heard by speech and was afraid or Lord revived by work. Somebody shall revive in the midst of the years in the midst of the years make known in wrath remember mercy and God came from a team and the holy one from Mount Perrin civil his glory everybody shall glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of his praise and his brightness was as the light and he had horns that were better translated his notes of lightning or streams of light were coming out of his hand knowledge of the notice.
This never seen this before is what Habakkuk says, and there was the hiding of his power to see that rights are, there was the hiding of his power to the bar. Another words Habakkuk was saying in the midst of all this going on with the nation of Israel. There's a whole lot that's been concealed about our God than that has been revealed in his power to deliver his people. But it was because of their disobedience.
It will be because of your disobedience that his power will be hidden from view and hidden from this congregation, you realize that God has hidden he's held back more power than he is revealed to this people, planet, but notice he says revived by years now with the prophet here. Everything is prophetic not only in a general context of that day and time, but also in the future because he was praying for Israel to be restored to be brought back to life and you realize that God has promised to do that very thing.
You realize that he's promised to bring Israel back as a nation in 1948.
That prophecy was fulfilled in Isaiah chapter 61.
The Bible says a nation will be born in the day but there's yet a day coming when the nation of Israel will reign supreme with the Lord Jesus Christ from the nation in the land of Jerusalem, you realize that and he's promised them that.
But beyond that, what I want you to get from the context of this chapter is that Habakkuk was talking about the hiding of his power but he was saying that it would be revealed when he revive the years and brought Israel back together again. What does that mean for you and I that means were living in the greatest days the world has ever seen
