“Glory” by Dave Bessey

When you have not seen the genuine presence of God, how do you know the difference. The real presence or “Shammah” is not just a visible presence or goose bumps. The glory is about the real weightiness where every knee bends and tongues confesses Jesus as King and Lord. The glory changes us. What we see in most gatherings today are not glory. Jesus must be manifested in and through us for Him to be present. The lack of the fruit of the Holy Spirit shows.

“The Glory of his presence is so needed in the church. We need to sing in the spirit and pray in the spirit. Oh Lord many people have lost their love for the move of the Holy Spirit. They have allowed teachers of knowledge only and no anointing blind them to a shallow Christian life. Those who are not asencion gifts preaching and teaching with words of wisdom instead of grace and power. Help your church Lord to awaken and to stop following man and start following the Holy Spirit. Bring many back to their first love for the Holy Spirit where there is life, light and God's love.” Apostle Eddie Maestas

Thus the Spirit says repent!

Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭22‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God's creation: [Isa. 55:4; Prov. 8:22.] I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth! For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [Hos. 12:8.] Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see. Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude]. [Prov. 3:12.] Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me. He who overcomes (is victorious), I will grant him to sit beside Me on My throne, as I Myself overcame (was victorious) and sat down beside My Father on His throne. He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the [Holy] Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).”

Everyone who thinks they are righteous needs to check their fruit. No matter what you are doing if it is not Christ doing it through you by grace through faith in Christ, then there is no honor.

Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”

Thus there is no value in dead works. Watering dead plants and building on shifting sand is a waste of time. We must war using His power and weapons. Without His presence there is no glory - thus NO power means NO change!
