Discerning the Times and Seasons speak of discerning the many ministries of
Christ that can begin operating in the times of SUDDENLIES. Once I began
leading apostolic team ministry, we were subject to sudden changes in our
purpose and direction. This is especially so where we’re aligned with one or
more communities. Ministry will always follow this relationship and all ministry requires stewardship. Without proper stewardship of
the ministry that begins to operate, we can find ourselves SUDDENLY subject to powers
and principalities (outside of Christ). KNOWING our place in Christ anchors us
in the knowledge of the order of the Kingdom that will always be operating. The
knowledge of God’s Kingdom order is needed, especially when the outward manifestations
of this glory is yet unseen.
If we impart “ministry” only, people will be bound (accountable) to form without power. When we impart the glory, the generations that follow become SENT ONES who speedily recover lost works in the next progression of ministry and even glorify God through present truth. We MUST remember that the church is in a continuous process of reformation AND restoration. These ministries must be given place to operate in the midst of our daily and weekly service.
1 Peter 1: 7: 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Here, glory is defined as “doxa”, which means: opinion, judgment or view, whether good or bad concerning someone. It also means magnificence, excellence, dignity or grace. Doxa is “of the angels”.
1 Peter 7:8: and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
Here, glory is defined as “doxazo”, which means to praise, magnify, celebrate and honor. To impart glory to something, and render it excellent. To cause the dignity and worth of some person or thing to become manifest and acknowledged. (Stewardship of the Kingdom of God according to the "signs of the times" that are becoming manifest)
For this reason, WE DO need outside signs, wonders and manifestations of how and where God’s glory begins appearing. Without the glory, our only choice is to hold people to a form that Holy Spirit will not honor through the quickening spirit of Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
May we each appear in the glory so that when Christ appears, we will appear with him.

This is so good Cindy! It begins to give more meaning & understanding to what The Holy Spirit meant when He told me that "we, who are Prophetic Artists, will become the vehicles 'to carry the Glory' back into the Church, the People, even Israel."
ReplyDeleteWe are 'carriers' of God's Glory, Who dwells within us. HE manifests His Glory upon what we do to celebrate who He is...like the wheels within the wheels - angelic beings that carried the glory out of the temple in – We are just the vehicle – He is the Glory. Ezekiel 9 – 11:22-25. But, we will be bringing it back into be glorified even more and functioning upon all of God’s Children, Gentile & Jew!
Both the 'doxa' & 'doxazo' glory makes perfect sense: Let our faith be found bringing angelic like magnificence, excellence, dignity & grace to God in all we do in and through the Prophetic Arts, which proclaims the Lord and delivers His hidden Word in messages & Love letters expressed in song, pictures, dance, music, film, even garments of clothing and entertaining acts in sports and theatre from young and old.
Let whatever we creatively express after our encounters with God bring about praise, honor, & celebration that magnifies Him & imparts a measure of His glory to everyone who partakes in the Prophetic Art we express and render it excellent. Let it cause the dignity and worth of every person who experiences our Art form become manifest and acknowledged in that hidden treasure within them. Let them step into their destiny with great hope as a result of our sharing our Prophetic Gift with love and compassion.(1Peter 7:7,8)
Let us flow with God's anointing power in all we do to His Glory. Let your manifestations begin!
