Let Your Glory Fill This Place

Exodus 29:43
There also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my Glory.

There is something special that occurs when God decides to visit with his people in the context of worship. There is something you can’t get when you are not present in the assembly. Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name then I will be in the midst.” When believers come together touching and agreeing God shows up. Every now and then the Glory cloud shows up and fills the temple. There have been times in worship, as a leader, that I didn’t know what to do next because his Gory was so thick. The word Glory means, the weight of God’s presence. When God led the children out of Egypt it was his Gory that led them out. He was a cloud of fire by night and a cloud by day.

When God gave Moses instruction on how to preset burnt offerings in the tent of meeting he told Aaron to consecrate himself. Before you go into the presence of God you ought to consecrate yourself.

1. Get your mind right. James 1:8 says, “ a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

2. Get some rest. Dr. Gardner Taylor said, “if you can’t give the Lord anything else give him a rested body to work with.”

3. Come in already prayed up. Ephesians 6:18 pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.”

4. Check your hygiene. Leviticus 16:4 so he must bathe himself with water before he puts them on.” Godliness is next to cleanliness.

5. Dress as not to offend. Exodus 20:26 And do not go up to my altar on steps, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.” Do not come to church with anything that will expose your nakedness.

I thought you could come to church as you are. You can to a degree. You have to do everything you know to do to make yourself presentable on the outside but there is still some inside work the Holy Spirit has to do. There are some spots you can’t get to in your mind and in your heart but God can. Whatever else is not right will be cleansed in the cloud. God says, “I will consecrate the place with my presence.

Earnest Pugh had it right when he said; “Rain on us!” you ought to pray this song this morning:

Let your glory fill this place
