““Instantly, I came under the Spirit’s power. I saw a throne in heaven, and someone was sitting on it. The one sitting there looked like gray quartz and red quartz. There was a rainbow around the throne which looked like an emerald”.”
Have you ever wondered how we can really have a fulfilled relationship with God?
It’s in His glory. The glory of God reflects who He is. The glory of God is demonstrated in His presence, His display of power in our lives. Jesus is the radiance of that glory (Hebrew 1:3); the more of Jesus we have, the more of that power in our lives.
What can we do to experience this glory?
We must learn to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24). John was in the spirit when he received the messages to the seven churches (Revelation 1:10). God is not a man and our interactions with him must be done spiritually. Therefore, worshiping God in the spirit enables us to connect with the Spirit of God. John came under the power of the Spirit (Revelation 4:2) because he was in the spirit. John 14:6 says “Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. John 8:32 also says “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." We cannot falsify our worship of God, it will only harm us and destroy our relationship with Him. God is truth; period. There is no debate or going around about this. The moment we understand and allow God’s truth in us, it creates an atmosphere of freedom and ease our worship of Him and perception of who He really is.
We must also ensure that we deliberately eliminate any thing that hinders the manifestation of God’s glory in our lives. Psalm 11:4 states that “The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold; His eyelids test the sons of men”. God is holy, His temple is holy, there is no room for foolishness. His eyes cannot tolerate our sins.
If we really desire to see the glory of God and so have a fulfilled relationship with God, it is time to kill every king Uzziah in our lives. “In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.” (Isaiah 6:1)
You may be wondering what does king Uzziah represents? It may represent anything that has taken God’s place in your life; your job, looks, money, etc. Any spiritual power or thing hindering your relationship with God.
Prayer Points:
Father forgive me of any sin that hinders my relationship with you.
Father I want more of You. Jesus fill my cup so that I can be filled with the glory of God.
Father grant me the understanding and grace to worship you in spirit and truth.
Every king Uzziah in my life must die by fire in Jesus mighty name.
Spirit of the living God fall afresh on me.
May the good Lord hear the cry of His church.
