Not Revival - GLORY!

The words revive/revival are found twice in scripture: Glory 369 times. 

It is in this fifth biblical month when God declares, 'As I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord...' (Num 14)

If we are praying for the GLORY to manifest rather than revival, what does that look like? 

In scripture, the Glory of the Lord manifesting is linked to protection, provision, confrontation, consecration, communication, wonders, signs, extraordinary miracles, guidance, and yes, salvations. 

When it did manifest in a physical structure (the tabernacle, temple,) it was so overwhelming that no one could even be in the building.  

This Glory is more than re-vival - it's the NEW thing... Will we see it?

Our mental frameworks form boundaries and barriers in our faith expectations.  

Those limit our ability to discern and embrace the Glory manifestation that's coming, not unlike how the religious could not see Jesus' Glory right in front of them.

What will that look like?  Hard to tell. 

What we do know is His answer to Moses dangerous request, 'Show me your Glory.' (Ex 33)

God said He would cause all His Goodness to pass before Him, that He is sovereign, that He will conceal His fullness, and shield Moses so he survives.    

I believe that these will be evident in the manifestations of Glory: His Goodness, Sovereignty, Concealment, and Care. 

Will it break out in houses of worship? Perhaps. 

Brace yourselves for boardrooms and courtrooms, prison gangs and Pride gatherings; bars, brothels, bookstores, and banks.  

When the Glory comes, who can stand against it?  

Perhaps only us, if we hold old expectations.  

Just remember that it's not about revival, but GLORY!
