Giving In To The Glory

Amen. Amen. Isaiah 6 and1 quickly if you can find the pages of this powerful prophet. I I do not want to be long. In fact, in fact, if the M music team, if you stay right there and keep playing like you're playing, I I want to walk through something with us tonight. I feel like this church is in a space and season that you are doing all that you can to press into the realm of the spirit to see God like you've never seen him, feel him like you've never felt him. I don't know if I'm on the trail right now, but I pray there's somebody in the house that said, "Lord, we just want more of you. We just want more of you. Can I get an amen in the house? I just want more of you. And I told you, pastor, this in prayer, and I meant this. The last 10 years of traveling and preaching. There's something special here. There's something purely purely special here. And I I don't know if you've been as faithful as you could be, but for those that are and have been faithful, I can't tell you how many churches across this country do not have a prayer room filled with praying people like this church has. And I pray you don't I pray you don't take that just as a compliment. Somebody ought to take that as a charge to say we're going to pray even more. Come on. Where are the praying people in the house? Come on. There's not one prayer meeting I'm missing. There's not one service. There's not one God. I feel Come on. Prayer and communion is what brings the glory. And I felt the power of God so strongly in the prayer room as I have felt every time I have come. And so I commend you. I thank you. And I mean that it means a whole lot to a preacher to know that there are people praying as I just feel like there's power in the prayers of the people. In the year that King Uzziah died, the prophet Isaiah said, "I I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and his train filled." Somebody shout, "Field." Field filled filled the temple. And Isaiah seeing this heavenly vision above it stood the saraphims. Each of them having six wings with twain they covered their face. With twain they covered their feet and with two wings with twain he did fly. You can keep on going. Says don't you dare stop. With Twain he did fly. And can I tell you that what Isaiah saw, if you would just close your eyes in the spirit, I think we would see the same thing in the house. He saw that these saraphims recognized the glory of God so much that they understood they were not worthy to even look him in the face. That's why the two wings were covering their faces. They were not worthy to look at this king of glory. But in his presence, one cried unto another, saying, "Holy, holy, holy." Anybody believe and worship the Lord tonight? Come on. Anybody believe and worshiping a holy God tonight. HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is the Lord of hosts. I pray you would hone in on this part cuz there is something powerful here that if you would lock in with me the next few moments I feel the Lord is going to sweep over this house. He said the whole earth. The whole earth. Somebody shout the whole earth. The whole earth. The saraphim said the whole earth. The train of his robe filled the temple but the whole earth was full. Full. Full. Anybody being believe in being filled? Full, overflowing, overrunning. No more room left. Full of his glory. The whole earth is full of his glory. The door of the post moved at the voice of the one that cried and the house was filled. Anybody see a pattern there?

Filled the temple, the earth full of his glory. And the house was filled with smoke. And Isaiah recognizing that he is in the presence of something supernatural, glorious, and supreme said, "Woe, it is me. Woe, it is me. I am a man undone, unclean lips. I have, for I dwell among a people that also have unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King." Woo! Somebody ought to lift up your heads and lift up your hands one more time and feel after that king my eye. I wish you would just close your eyes and feel after his spirit. My eyes. Woo! We feel your glory in this house right now, Lord. God, we push back, God. every spirit of darkness. You can be seated for a moment. I want to talk to us right now just for a moment. If you would let me if you would let me just lay this on your lap. I want to talk to you about giving in. Somebody shout giving in. Come on, say it in. Giving in. giving in to the glory. I don't know if it skips our mind sometime, but I don't want to take this for granted. And I pray you would hear me all the way at the back row. We don't just show up to church to hear good preaching. We don't just show up to church to hear anointed singing. Like I'm telling you, if there was any church that ought to thank God for anointed musicians and anointed singers that sing under the youngction and power of God, don't you dare take that for granted. Come on, anybody. Thank God. Come on. That's why we're feeling this. We have we have been ushered into the atmosphere because God said, "I s I HEAR A SOUND OF PURE WORSHIP and I'm going to sit among my people., AND I HEAR A SOUND OF PURE PRAISE., AND I'M going to rest among my people., COME ON. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO THANK GOD. WE FEEL HIS PRESENCE. But I come to tell someone that there is more at work here. When we show up to the sanctuary, if you could close your eyes in the spirit and see what God sees, you would see that God Almighty is so glorious that he is filling all time space, omnipotent in power, omnisient in his wisdom, and omnipresent in his presence. God feels all time and space. And that should mean something to you because it makes me feel good that when I drag my feeble flesh to the house of God that I know that the glory of God is going to meet me there. Can I tell somebody why your sickness ought to be afraid when you lift up your hands? Is because even infirmity has to bow down to the glory of God. Even depression has to bow. Come on. Has the saraphim said we are not worthy to stand in his glory. We can't look him in the face. don't you dare let the devil think that HE'S GOT A LEG UP ON YOU. WHEN NO SPIRIT NO NO WICKED UNCLEAN THOUGHT CAN BOW CANNOT BOW CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT BOW IN THE glory in the glory in the glory of the Lord. I've not processed this. Forgive me, but I need to I need to unpack this for a moment. I've not processed this like this before, but there is there is a scientific principle, a physical law of space that says that two entities, two subject matters cannot fill the same exact space at the same exact time. I need you to process that and let that sit on the room right now. Two things cannot fill the same exact space at the same exact time. God, I feel the Holy Ghost about to help me right now. Which lets you know why we battle so much, we war so much, and what the enemy's aim is among us. because you need to know that the whole earth is full.

God, somebody ought to be shouting right about now. THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL. I said WHEN YOU'RE WALKING TO WORK, YOU'RE WALKING THROUGH THE GLORY OF GOD. I said when YOU GET OUT OF YOUR CAR, YOU'RE PRESSING INTO THE GLORY OF GOD. THE WHOLE EARTH, you're not hearing what I'm telling you right now. THE WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY. That means volumetrically. That means in space and time. The reason why the adversary even exists is because in order for wickedness to be real, for adversaries to to be at work, they are in direct opposition to the glory of God. They literally HAVE TO RIP THROUGH THE fabrics of God's presence in rebellion and resistance against his very nature and his very glory. And ladies and gentlemen, this is why in the very beginning these angelic beings that are now fallen angels did not want TO STAND IN THE WORSHIPING GLORY AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND THEY SAID WITHIN THEIR HEARTS we don't want to be here in the GLORY ANYMORE. AND THAT'S WHY GOD DISPELLED HIM and them from his presence. Somebody ought to hear this tonight. And if you want to know why we battle so much, we battle so much because you've got to make up in your mind every time you come to the house of God that there ought to be a declaration in your spirit that in order for me to get a hold of God, I can't give into my flesh. I can't give into my thoughts, I can't give into Oh God. Come on. YOU'VE GOT TO RESIST THE RESISTANCE. WHEN THE ADVERSARY IS SAYING THAT YOU OUGHT TO BELIEVE AND DOUBT YOU OUGHT TO SAY I'M GOING TO BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD. Somebody ought to clap your hands in the house. COME ON. WHEN YOUR MIND IS SAYING, "I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP." YOU CAN'T GIVE IN TO NEFARIOUS THOUGHTS. YOU GOT TO GIVE IN TO THE GLORY. YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE IN TO A GOD THAT'S SAYING KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING. KEEP GO. Come on. WHEN YOUR FLESH SAYS, "WE'RE NOT RUNNING TONIGHT,", YOU OUGHT TO PUT THAT FLESH IN SUBJECTION,, AND SAYING, "BUT I'VE COME TO WORSHIP HIM. I'VE COME TO GIVE IN TO THE GLORY." COME ON, SOMEBODY GIVE GOD GLORY TONIGHT. Come on, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO WORSHIP HIM RIGHT NOW. Somebody shout the glory. I'll make it make sense right now. I think if somebody in this sanctuary, God, I feel the Lord helping me right now will start making some bold declarations in the spirit. I've come to tell you the opposition that you have been feeling and facing spiritually will flee before you know it. Because there is no such thing as neutrality in the spirit realm. Light and dark cannot mix. Bitter and sweet cannot come out of the same fountain. I hope I'm still preaching. Anybody plain? ladies and gentlemen, sometimes there is no such thing as gray area with God. you're either hot or cold. you're EITHER COME ON, YOU'RE either in or out. there's NO SUCH THING AS HALFWAY HYBRID HOLY. YOU'RE EITHER ALL THE WAY IN OR YOU'RE ALL THE WAY OUT. YOU'RE EITHER A WORSHIPPER OR YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE EITHER A PRAYER WARRIOR OR YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE EITHER A GIVER OR YOU'RE NOT. COME ON, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO HEAR ME RIGHT NOW. COME ON. YOU GOT TO MAKE UP IN YOUR MIND. I'M MAKING A DECLARATION. I'M NOT GIVING IN TO THE ADVERSARY. I WOULD MUCH RATHER GIVE IN TO THE GLORY. Come on. SOMEBODY OUGHT TO GO AHEAD AND YIELD TO THE SPIRIT. COME ON. WHO YOU YIELD YOUR MEMBERS TO. THAT'S WHOSE SERVANT YOU ARE. What I'm trying to tell you is we got a choice. Somebody look at your neighbor and say, "We got a choice. You're either going to submit yourself to God or you're going to submit yourself to Satan." There ain't no in between. God, I wish the Lord would help me right now. I say you're either going to submit yourself to the will of God or you're going to submit yourself to YOUR OWN WILL AND END UP IN DESTRUCTION. BUT SOMEBODY OUGHT TO FEEL LIKE ISAIAH FELT and he said, "Woe is me, LORD.

OH, I'M NOT WORTHY, BUT YOU ARE. I'M NOT HOLY, BUT YOU ARE. AND IF YOU CAN TAKE UNHOLY PEOPLE AND YOU CAN DRAG THEM INTO A PLACE OF HOLINESS, I'M GOING TO GIVE IN TO THE GLORY. I feel I felt this. I feel this. I still feel it all over my bones right now., anybody thank the Lord for the response this morning. And people come on, people feeling the pull. And people feel it. There's way too many times that people are at war with some stuff. You ought to stand with me right now. I feel the Lord working all over the room. That people are at war with some stuff. And I don't know, I don't know if you know about that power that you have on the inside of you, but we have this treasure in an earthn vessel that the excellency of the power that dwells in you may be of God and not of us. Can I tell somebody that there is something supernaturally powerful about submitting yourself to God? Somebody say, "Well, I ain't going to submit myself to nothing." The Bible says that whom you yield your members to, that's whose servant you are. And you can serve those lying voices if you want to. But I want to believe God and his voice. There's something that happens every time we come into the presence of the Lord. And I feel like we need to make some declarations in the spirit. The Bible tells us and I I I I pray you will forgive me media team. I did not give you this verse. But Matthew 12:43 says that when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man that he walketh in dry places seeking rest and find it none. And then he said, I will return back to my house. I want to tell you, you are more than in trouble when the adversary thinks that the vessel that God wants to inhabit is his house. Come on. You're in trouble when the adversary thinks that he has authority over your vessel. CAN I TELL SOMEBODY, YOU OUGHT TO MAKE UP IN YOUR MIND THAT I'm not giving space to the enemy. he has no ROOM IN MY MIND. he has NO ROOM IN MY HEART. he has no room. Come on. You ought TO NOT BE TIPPY TO AROUND IN YOUR HOUSE WHEN YOUR HOUSE SHOULD BELONG TO JESUS. I TAKE A FULL AUTHORITY OVER EVERY UNCLEAN SPIRIT THAT WANTS TO WAR AGAINST MY KIDS. I TAKE A I NEED SOME PARENTS TO GET BOLD RIGHT NOW. I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE SPIRITS THAT ARE BATTLING MY TEENAGERS. THEY OUGHT TO BE AFRAID OF ME. I SAID WE HAVE A TREASURE. WE STILL GOT AUTHORITY. SOMEBODY SHOUT AUTHORITY. He said, "I will go back to my house." The Bible says that when he, this is Matthew 12:44, if you wanted to find it, he said, "I will go back to my house." And when he returns to that house, the Bible says that he finded it empty. Somebody shout empty. He finded it empty. swept and garnished. Sounds good. There's one big problem. In real estate, they sweep houses before they post them on the market. In real estate, they empty them out, set them up, stage them up, garnish them, furnish them. They make it look just right and good. But ladies and gentlemen, it's still empty. And that's a big deal because if no two subject matters can fill the same space at the same time, you need to make up in your mind who's going to fill your vessel. it's either going to be lies or it's going to be the truth. it's either GOING TO BE VICTORY OR SPIRITS OF DEFEAT. IT'S EITHER GOING TO BE FAITH OR IT'S GOING TO BE DOUBT. COME ON, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO MAKE SOME DECLARATIONS. I COME TO TELL YOU WHO RUNS THIS VESSEL. GOD RUNS THIS VESSEL. Come on, you ought to clap YOUR HANDS A LITTLE LOUDER. WHEN YOU'RE NOT WORSHIPING GOD, YOU'RE MAKING A STATEMENT BECAUSE MY HANDS BELONG TO JESUS. I'M YIELDING MY MEMBERS TO HIM. Come on, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND YIELD YOUR MEMBERS TO THE LORD. I'M LIFTING UP MY VOICE AND I'M LETTING THE ADVERSARY KNOW WHOSE SIDE I'M ON. And if you don't make a statement, if you don't make a declaration and let the adversary know, Ephesians 4:27 says, "Neither give place to the devil." I

come to tell somebody, if you keep giving ear to negative people and negative voices, I come to tell you, you're going to be depressed before you know it. I said, but if you're going to do anything, you need to leak up with somebody that knows how to get a hold of the glory. I want to find a prayer warrior. I want to find a faithful WOMAN OF GOD. I WANT TO FIND SOMEBODY that believes IN FASTING. I WANT TO COME ON, ANYBODY HEAR ME? WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE WRAPPED UP IN DESPONDENCY, YOU NEED TO GRAB SOMEBODY HEAD BY THE HEAD, AND SAY, "LET ME LEAD YOU TO THE GLORY." YOU'VE BEEN FEELING DOWN AND DEFEATED, LET ME GET YOU TO THE GLORY. COME ON. LET ME GET YOU TO THE GLORY. LET ME GET YOU TO THE GLORY. AND DON'T YOU RESIST IT. AND DON'T YOU PULL AWAY FROM IT. I GOT TO GET IT THE GLORY. COME ON, SOMEBODY LIFT UP YOUR VOICE. I GOT TO GET IT THE GLORY. I got to get the glory. And the Bible says that because that house is still vacant. Somebody shout, "It's not full." Come on, say it again. It's not full. Because that house is still vacant. He said, "I will go and find seven more spirits like myself." And they come back to that house. And they said, "Come on, fellas. We going to have a house party now." And the state of that man is worse than the first state. Oh God, I feel the Holy Ghost right now. Which means to tell me this, and this is what I've led us to. We need to be full of the Holy Ghost. If you're going to walk on that secular job tomorrow, not tomorrow because we got Labor Day. God help us. Somebody shout, "Thank you, Jesus." When you get to that job Tuesday, do you think it's an accident that you feel like a Holy Ghost high by the time you you get out on the interstate and by the time you get back to your desk, it looks like you it it's gone? Anybody know what I'm talking about? You pull out of the parking lot, you feel so powerful. Time you pull up to your desk, all the power is gone because there's resistance. There's stuff trying to latch on to you that is in opposition to the glory of God that dwells within you. God, I feel the Lord right now. And if you're not full of the Holy Ghost, listen, if you got to pray and fill up while you're filling up at the gas station, you better put that gas in the tank and say, "Lord, this gas is high, but I give you the glory., I got a car to drive., and I'm going I'm not letting Come on. I'm going to make it to the house of God every chance I get., AND I'VE BEEN BATTLING SOME STUFF, BUT I THANK YOU, LORD., AND I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SOME STUFF, BUT I THANK YOU, LORD., AND I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH SOME STUFF, BUT I GIVE YOU THE GLORY. CAN I TELL YOU HOW YOU DEFEAT THE ENEMY? YOU GIVE GOD HIS GLORY. IN THE GOOD TIMES AND IN THE BAD. IN THE SICKNESS AND IN THE HEALTH IN THE RICH AND IN THE POOR. HE'S STILL WORTHY OF THE GLORY. OH, I FEEL IT RIGHT NOW. YOU OUGHT TO GIVE IN TO IT. WHEN MY FLESH IS TIRED, I'M GIVING IN TO THE GLORY. WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT'S OVER, I'VE GIVEN INTO THE GLORY. There comes a point that you got to make a spiritual declaration. And I want to be full, overrunning, and overflowing that the enemy can't even look at me like there's one ounce of vacancy. Cuz there ain't no vacancy in this vessel for the adversary. I said there is no room in this vessel for the adversary. If you ain't saying nothing, he's listening. HE SAID, "WELL, MAYBE I GOT A CHANCE. MAYBE." COME ON. HE AIN'T GOT NO CHANCE OVER HERE. BECAUSE I'M GOING TO WORSHIP AND LET HIM KNOW WHOSE SIDE I'M ON. I'M GOING TO PRAISE GOD AND LET HIM KNOW WHOSE SIDE I'M ON. I'M GOING TO GIVE IN TO THE GLORY. COME ON, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO PRAISE HIM RIGHT NOW. COME ON, SOMEBODY OUGHT TO PRAISE HIM RIGHT NOW. Come on, WE OUGHT TO PRAISE GOD UNTIL THE TEMPLE IS FULL. Come on, WE OUGHT TO PRAISE HIM UNTIL THE TABERNACLE'S FULL. Come on. WE OUGHT TO LET THE HIGH PRAISE OF GOD BE IN YOUR MOUTH UNTIL THE TRAIN OF HIS ROBE FILLS THE TEMPLE. Come on. DON'T YOU FEEL THAT THE ADVERSARY CAN'T STAND IT? THE ENEMY

CAN'T STAND IT. I FEEL THE GLORY. YOU SAY, "PREACHER, I'M JUST WORSHIPING." NO, SIR. YOU'RE CHOOSING WHOSE SIDE YOU'RE ON. YOU LETTING THE ADVERSARY KNOW I'M ONLY SERVING THE ONE ON THE THRONE. If you want to leave this house full of the Holy Ghost, run up to this altar as fast as you can. Jesus. Jesus. If you don't mind giving me a tad more monitor. Just a tad more right here. Just a little bit. Right. Anybody feel the glory of the Lord in the house right now? I want you to hear this. Holy Ghost is about to work. I think that we got it backwards sometimes. I am not anti coming to an al altar and weeping out your eyes and praying for God to forgive us. You can't be full until you emptied out. I I've I've I've felt I've I've I've preached in so many revival, conferences, camp meetings, and you'll be surprised how many people pray and they're seeking the Holy Ghost and they ain't repent yet. I'm going to say it again. I say you can't be full of the devil and full of God at the same time. I say you got to get rid of one to get the other. There's got to be a spiritual displacement because two entities cannot inhabit the same vessel at the same time. they can't take up the same I hope you're hearing me. you can't give way to heed and his thoughts and have the Holy Ghost at the same time. you've got to take some thoughts into captivity AND BRING THEM UNDER YOUR OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST THAT GOD CAN HAVE FREE REIGN IN YOUR MIND. Can I tell you where I think we got it wrong? I think we got it wrong. When we pray, we we ask God to forgive us. Lord, cleanse me. Lord, empty me. God, wash me and purify me. And those are powerful prayers. There's one problem. If you stop praying there, you leave that door empty and all you got on your chest and on your forehead is a sticky note saying, "I've still got room. God, I wish the Lord would help me right now. And you wonder why you try to rebuke the adversary and he ain't running. Can I Oh, I I feel the Lord helping me right now. Any young people want to hear me? We got to get to the point that the same passion that we yield to when we are under peer pressure and we give in to friends and we give into our family and we give into the lust of our own flesh. Anybody want to help me right now? And we give into thoughts that God didn't give us and we give into spirits of fear. A spirit that God didn't give you. what you need to do is not give into the spirit of fear. you need to give in to the glory of the Lord. Come on. He said, "I did not GIVE YOU A SPIRIT OF FEAR BUT THE SPIRIT I GAVE YOU IS A SPIRIT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND YOUR MIND WON'T BE DISCOMBOBULATED. IT WILL BE SOUND WITH THE PEACE OF GOD.
