 The glory realm, it becomes an objective reality. Isaiah prophesied about this, he's had in Isaiah 40, the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted in every mountain and hill brought low. The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. Isaiah is prophesying about John the Baptist and how he is going to prepare the way for Jesus Christ, filling in the valleys, bringing down the mountains. And then when Jesus comes, he says, the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, that's Jesus, and all flesh shall see it together. When the glory came through the ministry of Jesus, he had the same objective experienced. Everybody saw the leper healed, every sip of that wine, the water was healed instantaneously. Is that heaven actually? Or you touch a subjective, projective invigoration. Peter faced that Jesus just changed his garments or white. See Moses in Elijah 2. Visit us with that Tsunami spirit like you did on the day of Pentecost. Bring out a mighty harvest. In this last night we want to see you touch you. Perceive the glory. All of us just aching together because we believe that God is going to give us. And it's good to say, Lord, show it, because now I'm a steward of something that I'm not able to properly execute in steward. And I come with you, encounters you with it. He gets us glory encounters to prepare us in the stewardship. And the scripture runs for 40 years in a wilderness. See Moses in Elijah. Look at the cloud here. And I look at the three guys that were there. And six of the faith. Catechism 101. You don't worship angels. You worship God. And John's going, yeah, I wrote that it actually made me dizzy and I didn't know what to do with it and I just kind of lost my bearings and I worshiped the angel. And there's something about glory that will jazz you on the amount of transfiguration. That Peter, this is no nonsense. Just give me the facts, you know, just get the job done, Peter. And Peter is so called what he's experiencing. That excellent glory is what he calls it. He's so caught up with the encounter. We'll just make a house for you. You have three houses and you'll just live here. We don't have to go anywhere. We're just going to stay here. Because he's dizzy. They're like we've been praying for this for 30 years. And now Jesus is visiting us and we've got the glory realm here. And if you think we're going to leave just because you're shutting the lights off, I'm sorry, we've been after this thing for too long. And that's one way, you know, you're touching the glory realm. You can't stop. You just can't send the people home. They just won't go home. We know that Jesus had the same problem. They would come and they just camp out with him because what they've got, glory, manifesting right in their presence. And they're like, okay, we don't have a tent and we don't have any food and we've got no bathrooms. But we're not going anywhere. God has manifested and we've been waiting for centuries for this. It says, let the saints be joyful and you really got to go to bed, bro. It's 1 a.m. and you got to get up in the morning. But the guy's in bed. I mean, he's just like under the glory of God and he can't fall asleep because of the glory and he's just singing on his bed. This is glory. Charles Finney. This is from Charles Finney's auto. And I'll just read what he wrote. Literally to have me to birdie intense opposition in his mouth brain were joined. Seems to me that God uses two mains seven years ago. So Kola, would anybody have any recognition? And so, yeah, I've got about ten hands on that. And so, there were some moves of the spirit, some genuine revivals that were happening. And we, my wife and I, my wife is here in Marcy, here in the back. We went to Toronto, we went to Pensacola and I would walk the bubbles and the laughter and all. You know what I'm saying? And here, if I have Job, then there's a day coming when you're going to get on the other side and you're going to see him with your eyes. Yeah, I understand that. But I see you like Abraham saw you. I want to see you like Jacob saw you. I want to see you like Isaiah saw you. I want to see you like Ezekiel saw you. I want to see you like Paul saw you. I want to see you like John saw you. I want to see you like Job saw you. Now, that's the part of Job's story. He sees God with his eyes, with my soul. So I'm going to see him in my flesh. I'm going to see him with my eyes and they're like, Job, you're delusional, bro. You're really flipped out here. God's wrath is on you and you're going down. He's like, no, I think actually he likes me. I think he's for me. I'm going to see him. And it turns out Job is right chapter 30. He comes along and God put world and visits his friend. And this is what my heart longs for. And the reason I want to see the glory of God is in the words of Paul, that I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being conformed to his death. If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead. This is why I want to see you in your glory. I want to know he in revival trigger cool. And it may be start like that. So I'm over here trying to give him as big hand. Start with me, Lord, here I am. Show me your glory. I want to see you revive me first. There is a trifecta of glory in the scripture. And it goes like this. You see Jesus, you hear his voice and then he puts his hand on you. And this one just gets my heart aching. The first one that experienced the trifecta was Moses in Exodus 33. You're probably familiar with the passage where Moses says to the Lord, please show me your glory. And the Lord comes back and he says, I have mercy on whomever I have mercy. In other words, I just give this out to whoever I decide to give it out to. And I've decided to say yes to you. So buckle up because you're about to see my glory. He's going to see the back of God. Now what God does with Moses is brings him to just, I don't know where on the meter it was, edge of heart attack. So took him as close as he could without killing us. See the back of God versus named him, or spirit. I'm talking things. So he puts his hand, oh, here's him. Is he killed? Is he killed? Chapter one, he sees Jesus in glory. Chapter two, Jesus starts to talk to him and he says, son, a man stand on your feet and I'll speak to you. And then he puts his hand, I'm in the book. It says the hand of the Lord. He had this trifecta going. He sees, he hears. And then God puts his hand on him. Happened with Jacob and with Jesus. He sees Jesus and hears his voice. They have a conversation in the, call it a fight or whatever. The wrestling exchange sees him. Here's his voice and a touch of Jesus. Jesus puts his hand on him and puts his hip out. So there's the trifecta of glory he limped ever since. Then John. Now this is the one that I really love. It's in the book of Revelation where John experiences the three. The first one is in verse 10 where he's in the spirit on the Lord's day. And he hears a loud voice as a trumpet. So it comes first of all, he hears something. And then in verse 12 he turns around and he sees Jesus in his glory. And then in verse 17 he says, when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead because he again took John right to the edge. He says, I felt as dead, but he laid his right hand on me saying to me, do not be afraid, I'm the first and the last. So it's that trifecta where John hears Jesus and then he sees Jesus and then Jesus puts his right hand on him to empower him to endure in the encounter. And I'm like, oh Lord, I've got some heartburn today. I've got some aching in my heart because this is what I want with you. I want to see you. I want to hear you. I want you to put your hand on my life. Show me your glory. John sees Jesus in his glory. One of my favorite chapters in the whole Bible is Revelation 1. I probably spent more time in Revelation 1 than any other chapter in all of scripture. I just love this encounter that Jesus has with John. And he's in John sees Jesus and his beauty. Now, the thing about beauty is for it to be beautiful, it has to be proportionate feature. For example, if you see a bodybuilder and he's worked out this muscle and he's got this massive right arm, but then he's never worked out his left arm. So that the left arm is this under, you know, this flimsy undernourish thing and this right arm is massive. When you see disproportionate features, that's not beautiful, that's grotesque. For something to be beautiful, there has to be proportionate features. And when Jesus comes to John with eyes of fire, well, you kind of expect that somebody who has eyes of fire probably has a countenance that shines like the sun. And if somebody has hair that is white as well, as white as snow, then he probably has a sore proceeding from his mouth and his feet are probably made of shiny brass. So when you're looking at Jesus in Revelation 1, every quality of his personhood is proportionate to the other, which is what makes him so stunningly beautiful to us. And so we're like, Lord, I want to see your face. I want to behold you. When I go after the face of Jesus, here's what I personally pray for. Jesus, I want to see your white hair. I want to understand your wisdom and the perfection of your leadership. I'm seeking your wisdom. I want to seek your nose because you're discernment. I want to discern what you discern. I'm seeking your ears because I want you to hear my prayer. I'm seeking your eyes because I want to see what you see and I want you to look all the way through me. I'm seeking your cheeks because I want your passions to be my passions. And above all, I'm seeking your mouth because I want to hear the words of your mouth. So when I'm seeking the face of Jesus, I'm actually specifically focusing on the various qualities of his face. I want to see him in his glory. Now, in closing, what can we do to see the glory of God? Well, if I could answer that question, I wish I knew what we could do to see the glory of God. I've been pursuing this, as I said, for 27 years and the journey I've been in on with the Lord. I have a personal belief that glory is somehow going to have a role in the suffering that I've endured. I've got that hope. I don't really know the glory around. Talk about it from experience. What I'm about to share with you, just take it with a grain of salt because it's coming from a guy that doesn't have experience. How do you touch the glory around? I see four hints. I see is in Hosea 8 verse 7, the whirlwind idolatry, B 43 to 42. God is impossible if Satan's tornado has visited you and impossible that you are due comes to Job in chapter 38 and reveals himself to him. So, to the winds of the Spirit that I might reap of the Spirit, I believe that the 120 in the upper room, that's what they were doing for those 10 days. Sewing to the winds of the Spirit, the whirlwind of glory. So that's the first hint I find in Scripture. A whirlwind of glory. So, second hint I find is in the life of Mordecai. He went and sat in the king's gate. This is Esther 6, king said to Haman, or said as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king's gate. Now the king knew that Mordecai the Jew sat in these, he's talking to Haman about it. Well, I did Haman sit in the king's gate and it's on this and nobody really knows for sure. There's a few ideas out there. One theory is that Esther got Mordecai a government job and so it's his place of employment and he's working in the king's gate. In terms of the daily employment, it maybe had something to do. Mordecai had this thing about getting as close to Esther as he could. He would get as close as he could and then he'd inquire into her welfare. Could it be that he went into the king's gate to get as close as he could? Jews weren't allowed to enter into the courts of the king. So, Mordecai the Jew, he's going in as far as he can and then he parks himself there in chapter 8. If I'll sit in the gate, Jesus, Revelation 4. After these things I looked and behold, it hurt was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, I'll show you things which are much verse 2. I've been here before verse 2. He said, I was in the spirit but they were not the same reality. He's in the spirit where he can't go, where he has to be invited in to the winds of the spirit if they can put it on the screen of the fortress. I'm going to sit here in the king's gate.
