Two nights ago we held one of our Prophetic Holy Ghost
Meetings in Asbury Park, NJ. During the meeting the Spirit of God began to
direct things towards the direction of the Glory. Some spontaneous Songs of the
Lord came out regarding the Glory. Next a Prophetic Word came out about the
Glory, then a Prophetic Exhortation about the Glory.
As we went back into worship, the Lord dropped some very
familiar Scriptures into my spirit; and began to talk to me about them. I then
got up and read them and shared what He was quickening to my spirit.
“In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word
became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we
saw His glory, glory as of the only
begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:1 & 14 NASB
“The glory which You have given Me I have given
to them, that they may be one,
just as We are one; I in them and
You in Me, that they may be perfected in
unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as
You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may
see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of
the world.” John 17:22-24 NASB
In these verses in Chapter 1, Jesus was the Word who was
with God and was God…and became flesh. John says we (meaning the early followers) saw His Glory…Glory as of the only
begotten from the Father.
When we get to Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer in John 17, Jesus
speaks about that same Glory that John speaks of in Chapter 1. John said we saw
His Glory. Now Jesus says The Glory You have given to Me…I have given to them.
The same Glory that Jesus had…He in turn gave to us. Notice Jesus said the
intended purpose of this Glory that the Father gave Him that He was giving to
us so that WE MAY BE ONE!
Notice that Jesus was not just praying for those that
believed (the early Believers) but
for all those who believed through their word (that is us) (John 17:20). So not only was Jesus praying that the
Glory which the Father had given him would come on His followers, but by
extension us as well as those who believe because of their word.
At this point the Lord reminded me of the promise of the
Prophet Haggai:
“‘The latter glory of this house will be greater
than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give
peace,’ declares the Lord of hosts.” Haggai
2:9 NASB
During the early Glory of the Book of Acts the church
certainly was not one, they suffered from whether one was of the circumcision
or the uncircumcision. Even a great portion of my Christian life we were not
one. But in these days of the Latter Glory that is beginning to change. The
Body of Christ is beginning to come together like never before. Denominational
walls, gender walls, ethnic walls are all falling by the wayside in our day as
we are experiencing the Latter Glory; the very Glory that was Jesus’ given Him
by the Father and now given to us, so that we may be one.
The other night during the Prophetic Holy Ghost Meeting
those in attendance were evenly mixed between Black and White Believers. There
was no issue of race whatsoever. We were all worshipping God together, loving
each other and flowing together. Even the music was a mix of multiple styles with
both Black and White musicians.
We are living in the day of the Latter Glory and the Glory
that the Father gave Jesus, He has given to us that we may be one and so that
the world may know that the Father sent Jesus!
