Summary

  • A single-voice conference sermon on the glory of God and the coverings men create when it fades: the veil that hid the fading glory on Moses' face, the fig leaves sewn in the garden, the bling a church substitutes for life, and the one answer he presses from text to altar — remove the veil of unbelief, behold the glory in the face of Jesus Christ, and be changed into his image.
  • **The text: we beheld his glory** He gives honor to the Manguns and the officials, and to his wife and family present, then turns the house to his text and reads it entire, the glory clause rising three times as the congregation repeats it with him: and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. His subject is announced: fig leaves and veils.
  • **The kingdom, the power, and the glory** Since serving on a panel at this conference the year before, he has been on a journey into the kingdom. The Lord's Prayer has become more important to him than ever — thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory. Wherever the kingdom is found, he insists, its power and its glory are found with it.
  • **The fading glory and the veil** He takes the house into the apostle's exposition of Moses coming down the mountain. The veil was not placed on Moses' face because the glory was too radiant to look at, but because the glory was fading, and God would not have the people tie the law's power to the fading. That veil, the apostle says, is still there — it is unbelief. The glory in the face of Moses faded; the glory in the face of Jesus Christ never will. When the gospel is preached and refused, the god of this world blinds the mind, and the word becomes veiled to the hearer.
  • **The true light** The Lord put a question to him: do you really think I left the evangelization of the world strictly in your hands? The first chapter of the gospel he opened with says this is the true light, the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. With every human being born, at some moment the light comes on; then comes the choice, to begin the journey by faith or to reject the revelation. Our part is to let the Holy Ghost direct us to the people in whom the light is coming on — no man comes to the Father unless the Spirit draws him.
  • **Fig leaves: covering a lost glory** Whenever glory fades — in an organization, a church, a ministry, an individual — we begin creating veils to hide the fact. He leans on the psalm's wonder: what is man, that thou art mindful of him, crowned with glory and honor — the glory was humanity's clothing in the garden. Adam's disobedience was a spiritual death; the glory gone, they sewed fig leaves and hid. Disobedience gets us out of alignment with the word, and the covering business begins. His challenge: it is not the will of God for this end-time church to go out making veils and fig leaves, but to go out in the glory of God.
  • **In him we live, and move, and have our being** At Athens, on Mars Hill, the apostle declared the unknown God: we are his offspring, and in him we live, and move, and have our being. This is no dead inscription — our life comes from a living God. But when God is treated as dead, men manufacture substitutes: gold and silver, vain imagination, something blinged out enough to attract the eye away from the absence of glory and spiritual life.
  • **Two women: wisdom and the strange woman** Gold and silver send people to the old testament adornment of Israel — but God put his wealth on his bride to display his own glory, and she turned it to attract her lovers. In the wisdom book he finds two women: wisdom, whose wealth is greater than rubies, found in the gates; and the strange woman, decked to beckon, whose way is a path to death and who never stops changing. So with congregations: adorned by the glory of God, a church attracts the pure in heart who want to find Jesus; adorned with bling, it attracts the eye for a season, and loses them to the next attraction down the road.
  • **A light show no accessory can match** He is old school, he says, and likes the production — his crusades had moving lights before lights were cool, and once, when a stage hand hit the fog machine mid-altar-call, he nearly preached the glory as coming up through the floor. But nothing puts on a light show like the glory. As a boy at the Missouri Youth Camp he watched a blue mist settle over worshiping young people and nobody moved. Years later a sound man, watching the youth worship, told him: next time, just tell me you want the club scene. It bothered him that the world could mistake the scene for a club's. Where is the glory of the Lord?
  • **Changed into his image: the journey of sonship** It is by the glory, the apostle said, that we are changed into his image from glory to glory. Veil the glory and people cannot see what they are supposed to become. God's purpose was stated plainly and quoted that very day: all things work together for good to those who are called according to his purpose — that we might be conformed to the image of his Son. In the book of Romans, in the arena of sonship, the journey is already predestined: not individual predestination, but a destination — to look like him, act like him, talk like him, and carry the glory he had. A GPS starts with current location and asks for a destination; God has already named his.
  • **Obedience, the departing glory, and the seer** What brings the glory is obedience. Three times Israel said, we will obey — and the heavens opened, and Moses and the seventy elders saw the glory and the sapphire floor. It was not the only sighting. The great prophetic book of the glory shows the wheels, the cherubim that never turn, and the glory lifting off the mercy seat in stages — pausing at every stop, waiting on repentance that never came, a gradual goodbye that ends on the Mount of Olives, where Jesus spent his last week walking the same four places. And the glory went up past the sapphire floor to the throne, where the beings cover their faces and cry holy, holy, holy. Isaiah saw it too: in the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord high and lifted up.
  • **The house of God and the refused exchange** Jacob saw the same heaven opened — a ladder, angels ascending and descending, and his own confession: this is none other but the house of God and the gate of heaven, and I knew it not. Then Jesus told Nathanael: from this day forward the heavens will open and you will see angels ascending and descending upon the Son of man — a present-tense declaration: you are looking at the house of God; I am the kingdom of God on earth. That alignment is what the second temptation attacked. Offered all the kingdoms of the world and their glory in exchange for worship, Jesus answered: it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. The first Adam took the bait and swapped the glory; this Adam would not trade the glory of that kingdom for kingdoms of dirt.
  • **Alignment and authority** The only way this world is impacted is by the glory of God shining in the face of Jesus Christ. What brings the glory is submission to his kingdom: when we are in alignment, we represent his kingdom on the earth, present tense. That is why there was no devil cast out in the old covenant and the first one Jesus cast out was in a synagogue — in his kingdom, the enemy has no jurisdiction. The would-be exorcists who tried to operate in their own kingdom heard the answer the apostle's headship provoked; and the check on failed authority, he says, is not the authority department but the submission department: submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee.
  • **My God shall supply all your need** So where does it end? If they will just behold my glory. The veil is unbelief, and unbelief manufactures illusions. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory. The famous word about this kind coming out by prayer and fasting, he argues, has been misread: Jesus moved from casting out devils to the disciples' unbelief — it is unbelief that comes out by prayer and fasting; the devils are subject to his authority. Miracles had stared the house in the face all week. And the supply is not tied to Dow Jones, the stock market, or a politician: behold his glory, see his wealth, and the need is met — God never intended his end-time church to go out broke, poor, or anemic, but clothed with glory.
  • **The mount of transfiguration call** The message ends in a long altar ministry. The glory has been building all week to this moment; he wants not only for them to see it but to be enveloped by it, to go home wrapped in it, healed and delivered — not by the glory of a man or of whoever holds the microphone, but by beholding his. He calls them the way Jesus called Peter, James, and John: come up the mountain with me; it is not for all twelve; I want you to see me transfigured; I want to show you your future. Through the closing stretch — crying out, show me your glory, long spaces where the captions themselves go sparse — he keeps the one promise in front of them: stand behind the veil until the glory manifests, look full into his face, and the miracle, the word, the direction you came needing will be found in the riches of his glory.

hallelujah praise God Amen John chapter 1 verse number 14 while you're turning there I just want to say I give honor to the Mangin and all the officials that are here tonight lot of friends it's good to have my wife family here tonight I got almost all of them here but uh outside of the Holy Ghost the best gift God ever gave me amen and I'm honored to have them and U my brothers here just a lot of friends God bless you in Jesus name amen John chapter 1 verse number 14 and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory and we beheld his glory and we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth everybody said amen I want to talk to you tonight about fig leaves and veils fig leaves and veils may the Lord help us Jesus name you may be seated God bless you I just want to start by saying it's all about the glory it really is last year it because the times they asked serve on a panel and it has been since that panel something sparked and I have been on a little journey and trying to understand a little bit about the kingdom some of the statements of Jesus The Lord's Prayer has become probably more important to me in the last few months than ever matter of fact I feel like we will learn the power of His prayer before we get out of here especially keep us from evil but I uh I begin to look at some of these things and I thank the Lord for his ability and his willingness to show us things some of us aren't near as smart as we think we are it's just the goodness of God the grace of of God it's by Revelation I uh I thank him for it and I I've you know it's like anything else that God begins to deal with me about it comes in pieces anybody know what I'm talking about and it's line upon line here a little and there a little but I began very strongly to look at the Kingdom and what the kingdom would really look like if it really appeared I think we have a good understanding of the church and its culture but the kingdom is a different story I believe that God wants his kingdom to come in this earth it's going to come we know there'll be a kingdom age but I thank the Lord tonight for the fact that in the Lord's Prayer thy kingdom come thy will be done not on Earth but in Earth and then he concludes it with for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever I believe that wherever you find the kingdom you will find his power and His glory I do I want you to just take a little journey with me here tonight in the book of second Corinthians the Apostle Paul begins to write about Moses coming from the mountain a lot of times we have put into that the reason that the veil was placed upon Moses face is because that radiant Glory was too radiant to look at but the fact is is that Paul alludes and lets us to know that the glory was really fading

off of the face of Moses and that God did not want the people to associate The Fading Glory with the law if they seen the glory fade they would think that once it was diminished that the law would no longer have any power or effect and so God gave them a veil they created a veil put it over the face of Moses the great Apostle Paul was wanting us to understand and said that that Veil is still there he really alluded to the fact that the veil was now unbelief because of unbelief they could not see the glory that was not in the face of Moses but was in the face of Jesus Christ he said the glory of that old The Old Glory was fading but this Glory was never going to fade what a lot of people do not understand is as Paul continues into that particular subject he doesn't change subjects it goes into the fourth chapter when he starts talking about we didn't come to you with cunning craftiness one translation says we didn't come to you like the serpent came to Eve we preached to you the unadulterated word of God we told you what the gospel was we didn't try to Veil it from you we didn't try to hide it from you one translation says we did not dilute it with water and wine we preach to you exactly as it is he goes on to explain what he believed and in that he talks about that to whom the God of this world ha blinded the minds of them which believed not now I want you to understand when he comes to that uh he's using the same word when he talks about blinded he's using the same word that he uses in the previous chapter about veil in other words when the gospel was preached to you and you chose not to believe it it become veiled to you it become hid from you I can't believe that God would hide anything from people that didn't have a choice or a chance at least to believe oh it's quiet right now amen I I want to say something here and I want you to let me finish before you judge it too harshly uh here a few weeks ago I was just kind of talking to the Lord and just the way I do and he he brought me back to these passages of scripture and this is what he said do you really think that I left the evangelization of the world strictly in your hands I knew that's what you'd do do you think I take that kind of a chance boy it is quiet in here right now well Lord I I don't quite understand what you're trying to say John chapter 1 says this is the true light and he said this True Light lith every man that cometh into the world I personally believe with every human being born at some moment in their life the light comes on they're not handed a track they're not taught a Bible study but the light comes on now they have a choice to make either by faith they begin the journey to accept it or they reject the truth or the Revelation he tells us what it is the Glorious gospel is the glory that shines in the face of Jesus Christ it is the will of God for the revelation of Jesus Christ to come to the entire world now whether or not they accept it or reject it that's in their portfolio but I want you to not well somebody says well what's that got to do with us well and how how do we play into it well Paul's giving you his testimony is what he's giving you when he says you know I I I know what this is about I was on my way with the letters in my pocket what in the world do you think happened to me I sure wouldn't headed to a Christian Church service to be saved but that light appeared to me and I looked into that blinding light and I asked the question who art thou Lord and of course the revelation came I am Jesus whom thou persecutest now you're saying well what do we do well this is where

you come in if we would learn to allow the Holy Ghost to direct us to people that the light is coming on in their Spirits we're not excused from evangelism we're not excuse from reaching people but the fact is no man cometh to the father save the spirit draw him I had somebody asked me here a while back a hypothetical question most hypothetical questions are ridiculous amen so would you really believe that if somebody on their deathbed that's repented maybe got baptized hadn't received the Holy Ghost die they not safe I said that's the dumbest question anybody's ever asked me why would God get you in the process of drawing you get you halfway in the journey and then pull the plug on you I said it don't work quite that away that's how come we need to leave here with rejoicing in our heart that in the end time there will be one name one God there's about to be a revelation of Jesus Christ spread through this world like we have never seen before folks there shall be light in the evening time somebody said amen now I I I I I want to I want to show you he said that when Moses come down the Glory's fading and so the veils put over his face so it stands to reason I want you to hear me it stands to reason that any time there is a fading Glory whether it's in an organization a church a Ministry or an individual anytime there is a fading Glory we have to start creating veils to hide the fact that the glory is not as radiant as it was yesterday or the day before or a few weeks before Oh Boy veils veils anytime the glory of God is diminishing or anytime that we see something fade we start creating these things to hide it to to to create something to distract the eye from the fact that something is not there that needs to be there praise God now you can believe whatever you want to believe but personally I lean toward the fact that when the scripture says what is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him for you have crowned him with glory and with honor it means to envelop it was the glory and the honor of God that enveloped Humanity I Believe In the Garden it was the glory of God that clothed Adam and Eve but I want you to watch the process Adam the day that you eat the fruit of that tree you're going to die you know Adam did not die in the physical sense when his Disobedience but I believe he did die spiritually and the next thing you know they uh they got some fig leaves and they're trying to cover their nakedness they're hiding from God and God comes in the cool of the day one translation that I read I like said God told Adam Adam I'm at our meeting place where are you well uh we're naked and we've created some aprons uh Adam how do you know that you're naked well our Disobedience has caused us to lose the glory and because we have no glory we've created some fig leaves and we're trying to cover our nakedness we don't want people to see our our nakedness and so God said this is not what I intended I want you to know that our Disobedience our Disobedience us getting out of alignment with the word of God starts creating something that affects the glory of God praise God Amen anytime in our Disobedience we begin to lose the glory we start creating fig leaves and aprons veils to cover up the fact that we're naked now and there's no glory and it's a fading Glory at best but I've come tonight to challenge you it is not the intent nor the will of God for this church to create veils or fig leaves it is the intent of God for this end time Church to go out of here in the glory of God and in the Majesty of God praise

God praise God now I don't know altogether how to explain this to you I I really don't I I I just know how it comes to me and hopefully it'll make a little sense here tonight amen but uh I I I get a little alarm sometimes because uh when when the glory starts fading some of the things that we start creating uh in and I don't know how to get into this without probably making some folks mad but uh Paul when he got to Athens Mars Hill uh to the God of this this unknown God he makes this statement he says um I want to declare him to you and he starts in this discourse which is a tremendous discourse and in it he says uh this God this unknown God in him in him he said first of all we are his officer spring but in him we live we move and we have our being this is where our life comes from this is not just some inscription this is not some dead God he's alive and in him we have our life and but now if your God's not dead he said then you better start with some vain imagination you better start creating some things uh so you better make sure that you create something that has gold and silver because uh you're going to need something to attract the eye from the absence of glory and spiritual life you better make sure you get it blinged out enough that they can't tell the fact that there's no life here there is I feel like preaching right now there is no glory here so and gold and silver uh just just put it on and and create it make your Idols get everything created uh you want to attract the eye to the fact that uh it's it's not here now I know some of you are like oh my God I can't believe you'd say but just chill just chill now here's the deal I know when you start talking about bling and gold and silver people want to take your brother Cox over to the Old Testament and they want to point out to the fact in the Old Testament that God adorned Israel with all this I call it blame and uh we see well first of all they had no monetary systems then then have currency and so for a man to show his glory because that's what Glory means it deals with with the weight of something it deals with wealth it deals with SP Splendor so for God to show his wealth or a man to show his wealth or his Splendor he would put it on his wife I want you to see my glory here it is I want you to see my wealth I'm going to put it on her want you to see how wealthy I really am I want you to see my riches so I'm going to put it on her God have mercy and so he tells Israel in the Book of Ezekiel I adorned you I decked you out but he said but you didn't understand it was really not about your beauty it was about my comeliness I put that on you so that people could see my glory or my wealth but you have turned it around and you have used it to attract your lovers oh you've taken the gold and the silver now I I don't know how far to get into this but I I got just reading some of this the other day and got over the Book of Proverbs believe it or not I found two women in the Book of Proverbs that proverb the writer Solomon mentions of the Book of Proverbs the first woman he talks about is wisdom the second woman he talks about about is the strange woman or a harlot you ought to go read what he says about the bride or about wisdom he said and concern to wisdom he said you'll find her in the gates he said her wealth is greater than rubies and silver and gold and then he gives description to the Harlot and he said the Harlot is decked and he talks about all this stuff and she stands basically is what he's saying she stands on the street corner and beckons come but he

said let me tell you something her way is a path to death and oh by the way she'll never quit changing she'll lead you on a path that is constantly forever changing it'll be this one day this the next day this the day after nothing ever changes because she don't even know where she's going it's the path to death so I was reading that the Lord said well there's still two women I called the church the manifold wisdom of God so when God said I want to show you my wisdom I want to show you my glory I want to show you my wealth he created something called the church and he adorned her and he decked her out with his glory now I I don't want to offend anybody body here tonight but uh you know the Book of Revelation starts talking about the bride and the Harlot and talks about the description of those things and he said the bride is in fine linen she stands in her own Beauty and her own Purity and Jesus said that the pure in heart shall see God now you don't go to a prostitute out of Purity and you don't go to a prostitute for long-term commitment and so she adorns herself only to attract the eye to satisfy the sensual side of your Humanity to Allure You by her glory come this way with me but remember her path is to death and there's never not a stopping of changing in her and so we have to decide how we want our congregations to be adorned we do we either allow the glory of God to Adorn us and when it adorns IT attracts the pure of heart it attracts those that say I want to find Jesus I want to serve him I want him to be my Lord now if you put enough bling on your church and if you do enough stuff to attract that sort of people coming let me tell you something they're not coming out of a commitment they're only coming because you have appealed to the eye you've appealed to the sensual side and I will also tell you the next old girl down the road that dresses up a little better and looks a little better they're going to leave you and go right down the road to her so you might as well decide tonight I want the glory of God to envelop my Ministry I want the glory of God to envelop my congregation I don't need any veils I don't need any fig leaves let the glory of the Lord rise Among Us praise God praise God praise God now dress her up put all the bling on her you can put attract whoever you can attract but her ways and her path is to death there's no real Spirit life there God help us tonight help us you know I just I'm kind of old school I really am I I like all this stuff I really do I like it man we having some Crusades and I got I mean I got crucified for having moving lights son they come out with the swords yeah lights moving and here's what happened we're in the altar call and in the count palace here in San Francisco one of the one of the stage hands hit the fog machine button by mistake

and so I'm in the middle of giving an altar call and I said man I never knew the glory come from down there oh you should have heard him you had moving lights you had smoke and it I said well you wouldn't believe it if I told you so I want I want you to understand we had lights when lights weren't cool but I just give you a little insight nothing these are great accessories but nothing can put on a light show like The Glory nothing nothing can attract their attention like the glory whoa I remember as a boy in one year at the Missouri Youth Camp or what mean old west failure God have mercy and we was down there worshiping and all of a sudden at the end of it this this this blue mist and Haze come in and settled above the heads of the people it was the glory of God God those kids wasn't moving I mean they were worshiping and this Glory had descended please just just let me say it you not get all mad I walked in to preach a youth function here a while back and wouldn't stood back next to the sound guy he wasn't one of us I was just standing back there and our kids were up there and they were doing their thing and and he's back there kind of bounc around a little bit he looked over and said hey he come over hey next time y'all want to do this just tell me you want the club scene I know what you need I said what he said this is a club scene now I'm not I'm not an old man on a soap box here tonight but that kind of bothered me that the world would assume that it was the same scene that they perform in the clubs where in the name of God is the glory of the Lord that oh it locked up right there I'm I'm not I'm not after anything here tonight but I'm going to tell you something you just remember something when the glory begins to fade you better do something you better create something but brother if the glory is in the face of Jesus Christ and I'm going to tell listen I'm going to tell you why I'm preaching so strong about it because if you listen to what Paul says I want you to hear me if you boy I feel a little help right now Paul said it's by this Glory that we are changed into his image from glory to glory by the spirit see when you Veil The Glory people can't see what they're supposed to become they don't know what they're supposed to become they have no idea what they're supposed to become and I know I understand all of us has a purpose but let me tell you what God said his purpose was it was quoted today all things work together for the good but read on down there according to his purpose I understand you got a purpose but God's got a purpose and he told you what the purpose was in the next verse that we might be conformed into the image of his dear son but if you put a veil over the face of Jesus Christ and people can't see what he really looks like how in the world are they supposed to change when you take the glory out you take the changing Asian out you let the glory in the face of Jesus Christ shine trust me when they see it the Holy Ghost says my job is to get you all right okay you know how many you got GPS you get in your car you push GPS it always starts the same current location because you can't start somewhere you're not does anybody know what the next thing it says is destination what kind of person would I

be to put in there don't know just pick something for me we're on a journey just take me on whatever Journey you want to take me on let me tell you something he told you in the Book of Romans in the arena of sunship he told you he said let me tell you something he said I've already predestined your journey predestination is that you would be conformed into the image of his son predestination is not about individual predestination it's about sunship and he said the journey is to get you to look like me act like me talk like me and have the glory that I had and when you start to change it or to cover it up you're missing exactly what this is all about it's not about what the UPC teaches or preaches that's it's about the revelation of Jesus Christ and us standing in his presence wow now what brings the glory I got to hurry what brings the glory man this is where it gets weird it really gets weird so after because times last year went back started looking at this and I found over in the Book of Genesis Moses comes down brother tending off this mountain he reads the law to the people three times and they said we will obey We Will hearken We Will obey and the next thing you know the heavens open and Moses and the 70 elders seen the glory of God seen the glory of God you seen him into the heavens they seen the sapphire floor that separated the Heavenly from the Earthly and they seen it they seen the glory the Throne of God and it only happened because people said we will obey we will obey oh boy help me Jesus we will obey well that's not the only time they've seen it if you read over now this is where it gets really interesting The Book of Ezekiel The Book of Ezekiel is about the glory and so God snatches him up first of all he said I want to show you something I'm going to tell you first thing he sees is is these wheels in the middle of the will now you start explain some of the stuff to people that know anything about this they would swear you're high I mean people in San Francisco pay good money to have these kind of experiences I mean these wheels in the middle of the wheel you got a wheel going north and south you got another wheel going east and west you got that if I'd have been sharp I'd have had a picture drawn up there for everybody and and and then above it you got these angels cherubims and they got four faces now you're dealing with people's got two four faces my God four brother Cox but the deal is the scripture says that this thing was never to turn see your car its wheels go One Direction and for you to change direction you got to turn it but you never had to turn this thing because if you want to go north it would go north south south east west what way and then these faces the face of a man line Ox whatever you each face of the man faced in One Direction and the face they faced another so whichever way this thing moved that face represented how God would represent himself but it never turned and ezekiel's watching this thing and he watches it and it goes into the holy of holies and it pauses there and it waits and Ezekiel was patient ly waiting to see and the next thing you know the glory comes off The Mercy Seat and moves

over on top this thing this thing that Ezekiel seen was God's transit system for the glory and it waits there a little bit and I believe the reason why it was waiting is God's asking Israel if you'll repent this is as far as it will go see when you open the other night with repentance they did no repentance was what was contingent for the glory to come and then it moves outside and it goes there's four places to save you life time it visits and every place it visits it pauses and waits if you'll just repent if you'll just repent it'll stop here and I'll go back to The Mercy Seat but it's God's gradual ual goodbye and it goes to the Mount of Olive and Ezekiel watches it as it ascends into the heavens isn't it amazing the last week of Jesus Christ on the earth he visited all four places Ezekiel was seeing Jesus Christ as he went to The Mercy Seat and said and that's exactly what John meant when he said and we beheld the glory because the glory was always in the Third Dimension the glory was never in the Holy place which is our emotions it was never at the altar which is in our flesh it was always in the holy of holies there is only one kind of light in the holy of holies and that is the shakana and the glory of God that's it that's it but I find it also amazing that when Jesus Christ comes back to this earth the first place he's going to put his foot is the man of all of that and he's declaring to everybody the glory has left but it's not finished the glory is coming back and Ezekiel seing another Temple are you listening to me and you watch these things you say wow and then he watches it as it goes from the Mount of Olive and it gets into the heavens this is where it kind of gets crazy and then the next thing you know well God's going to do something God is going to do something you see it go past as it ascends into the heavens it goes past that Sapphire floor and it goes to the throne and the glory of God and these beings and these chubbles the Bible says they begin to fly they cover their face they cover their feet holy holy holy ezekiel's not the only one that's seen it Isaiah seen it and they in the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord High and lifted up see Ezekiel and Isaiah were seeing into the heavens they were seeing the Throne of God in the heavens Jesus said let your kingdom come let your kingdom come let your will be done I've struggled to understand the difference between the Kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of God the Kingdom of Heaven is exactly that last year we talked about the fact that every congregation has to decide what Throne is going to rule it you will either have a throne of iniquity that rules in your congregation or you'll have a throne of righteousness you've got to decide but wherever the Throne of God's righteousness is that means in heaven it rules my God but these men seen something happen on the earth they're watching it transpire now that's not the only person that sees it in the Old Testament Jacob has the same vision believe it or not it's a little different but he sees this lad come down from heav heaven and he sees Angels ascending and descending upon it and the next day he says hey this is none other but the house of God and the Gate of Heaven and I knew it not I didn't know he dwelt here I thought it was just a story from my grandpa but God dwells here this place of the Altar and sacrifice God dwells here this is none other but the house of God in the Gate of Heaven and then you go to the old test the New Testament and Jesus calls from Nathaniel and he gets over there and said man I seen in the Fig Tre he said yeah that's a pretty cool trick man that's pretty cool you must be a prophet something he said oh Nathaniel he said just get ready from this day forward the heavens are going to open and you will see Angels ascending and descending upon the son of man now what a lot of you don't understand is Jesus just declared right there you are present tense looking at the house of God and the Gate of Heaven I now am the kingdom of God on

the earth I am in alignment I am have I lost you I am an alignment I can represent the kingdom of God you're looking at the house of God now you go to the Temptation second Temptation he's there and Lucifer says come on with me we take you to a high mountain and he causes all the kingdoms of the earth to pass by in a moment's time and there glory and he says to Jesus if you will bow and worship me uh I'll give you this glory and I'll give you these kingdoms and Jesus said you got to be kidding me what now you may have got the first Adam he may have took the bait he may have swapped you the glory but not this Adam it is written Thou shalt Worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve now see some of you some of you you will get the identity it is the great revelation of the end time is the revelation of sunship we understand the Mighty God in Christ we never send the Mighty God in us but the second Temptation see the first temptation is exactly that if thou be the Son of God turn these stones to bread he's trying to work through his Humanity but the second temptation is this I want you to make me your king and I will give you glory let's swap Glory you give me the glory of God and the eternal glory and I'll give you the glory of Kingdoms of dirt so a lot of us we start getting a revelation of who we are but the second the temptation but the second temptation is this uh let's exchange glories I'll give you the glory of all of this if you'll just worship me make me your king I want the Throne of iniquity to rule in your life Jesus said absolutely not I can only do what my father tells me to do I can only say what he tells me to say do you think I'm going to come out of alignment with him and trade you the glory of that Kingdom for the kingdom of dirt you got to be kidding me but you'll be surprised how many of us we exchange the glory he parades it in front of us and we say oh that looks nice I'd kind of like to have that be careful my friend it's just veils and fig leaves it's not really what it's all about and once you get it you'll wear it I'm telling you it's not time for this end time Church to decide we don't need the glory of God the only way that we will ever impact our world is by the glory of God shining in the face of Jesus Christ let's remove the veils let's remove the Fig leaves and let's let the glory of God manifest just go from there to 1 Corinthians chapter 11 I won't do it for you it's there it's all about the exchange of Glory let's just swap glories let's get rid of the glory take this Glory create some veils create some veils what brings the glory brother gleon the kingdom it's when I submit to his kingdom in heaven and I get an alignment and God says now that we're in alignment you now represent my kingdom on the earth you are present tense the kingdom of God you're my Ambassador and Jesus goes out of the temptation and he gets to the synagogue ain't it amazing the first devil Jesus cast out was in church and he gets to the synagogue and they said man he's reading as one with authority not as the scribes see a lot of people want a synagogue but they don't want a temple synagogues where you just come together and talk about him bunch of scribes and people getting together lawyers and stuff talking about what they think it might mean but the temple is where the glory was and where something impacted people and so he goes to casting out Devils now if you'll notice in that Temptation Satan said to him all this has been transferred to me and I give it to whoever I want to give it to there's not a devil cast out in the Old Testament but the moment Jesus walks into the synagogue he start brother how he starts casting out

Devils you know why because as long as he's the kingdom of God on the earth in that Kingdom Satan has absolutely no jurisdiction No Authority that's why Jesus said wherever the kingdom is watch for this you ready for it first of all there'll be glory and Power and the other thing you'll watch for is cast out Devils heal the sick and raise the dead cuz it has no Authority here see that's why the devil wants to get you dis aligned with God and his throne I'm close that's why he wants to get you there because as long as you stay submitted as long as you have the exusia you can operate in the dunamis we got a lot of people like the sons of ska it's their Kingdom they're trying to operate in the power of their Kingdom God says no Paul we know Jesus why did he say that because Paul taught you in Corinthians the head of the man is Christ and what those demons were recognizing was the headship of Paul he submitted to Christ see some of you want to cast out Devils but you better check your submission Department first cuz the Bible says submit yourself therefore to God resist the devil and he'll flee now if the devil you're rebuking he's still sticking his tongue out at you there's nothing wrong with the authority Department you need to check the submission Department all right I'm closing so it's in this alignment all of a the kingdom of God comes and this is what we need in the end time how are we going to combat what we're up against right now without the authority and the glory of God's Kingdom so I'm trying to figure this out today I said God I where does this thing end tonight where does it end oh that's easy if they will just behold my glory see the veil is unbelief see because you don't believe your unbelief has to create something as an illusion it's our unbelief but I read this but my God shall supply all of your need according to his riches in glory he said If my people tonight will behold my glory and you'll remove the veils of your unbelief that's why we create veils we really don't believe we really don't believe I reading an article the other day from some religious men they were talking about how to deal with cultures and stuff and American that becoming all this relevant stuff and all and this young man said you me tell you what's missing he said the gospel he said doesn't matter what culture you're in the gospel is the power of God unto salvation I'm G tell you so we we've got to figure something out here that well let me just stop what are the needs what are the needs in this place tonight I can't even begin to list them but if we Behold The Glory if we Behold The Glory the glory has the ability to supply all of your need you just need to get rid of your unbelief now I know we quote the verse of scripture about Devils this kind cometh not out by prayer and fasting well the fact is Jesus has moved from the subject of casting out Devils to addressing the disciples unbelief it was not that Devils come out by prayer and fasting he's saying your unbelief comes out by prayer and fasting the devils are subject to my authority you got a veil of unbelief over your heart Miracles have been in this building all week the supernatural has stared Us in the face all week some of you just need to rip the Veil of your unbelief off your heart and see the
