G . L . O. R. Y. : Poured out from heaven.
By Rev. Christopher J. Derring, Th.D
The hour is upon us, and the day has come. We are living in the times of the manifestation of God’s glory. As in the book of Acts they went forth confirming the word of God with signs and wonders following them. The blind eyes were open, the deaf ears heard, the lame walked, the oppressed were set free, the lost were saved.
There has been an acceleration as well as an impartation, even a multiplication, which has transpired over the past several weeks and months. There has been birthed, within God’s remnant people, a new desire, a fresh anointing, to seek God’s face in prayer, and to live a life of purity, separated from the World and the things of the World. And out of this great movement a rumbling and a shaking has begun to sound forth. It is the prayers of the hungry, the praises of the desperate, the passion of the pure in heart. A people whose spiritual hunger out weigh their natural desires. I submit to you that this rumbling of the final move of God has already begun ! We will no longer be content with the rudiments of religion, nor be satisfied with the deadness of mans programs. We are God’s remnant people, those who are waking up, and stepping out into God’s Glory, the manifestation of God’s burden removing yoke destroying power. I believe that it will be supernatural and miraculous displays of God’s power that will draw men and woman to the Lord in this final hour. And those who choose to take up this mantel will operate in God’s
Glory and anointing.
G
O .15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16 :15-20
We must Go ! I truly believe that this final move of God will not take place within the four walls of our Church while we sit on our padded pews and preach to those already “churched“. No, It will take place on the street corner, and in the shopping market, in the malls, at your neighbors house next door, and at the place of work. We have become so comfortable in our sanctuaries we have neglected to GO. Jesus said GO He didn’t say they will come to you. When we go in power, laying hands on the sick and setting people free, casting out demons, and sharing Christ’s love, not in word but in display and in power. The people of the World will run to Christ in a greater way than ever before.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. 1 Corinthians 4:20
L
ove .When we Go we must Go In Love, not in condemnation. We need not tell people how evil and worthless they are. We need to show them the incomparable, unconditional, Love of Christ. There is no substitute that this Earth can produce that can even closely compare to the Love of Christ revealed to the sinner for the very first time. To be loved unconditionally, is a benefit the world knows nothing of. The Love only Christ can give will draw the multitudes in to Him.
1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:1-11
We must not dwell and condemn people on the sins of the past, but rather the righteousness through Christ, in their present and in their future ! Giving them hope of a better way of life.
16-20Because of this decision we don't evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don't look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We're Christ's representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God's work of making things right between them. We're speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he's already a friend with you. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (The Message)
O
utpouring.When we GO Forth, In the Love of Christ. There will be a Spiritual outpouring of the Holy Ghost that will accompany us everywhere we Go. It is this Outpouring that will bring in the Lost.
Who will not only hear of God’s Love and Power, but see it displayed before their very eyes !
11And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. 12And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk? 13The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus….16And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Acts 3:11-13,16
17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name…. Mark 16:17
28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. Joel 2:28-30
R
ighteousness .Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. Leviticus 19:2 b
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18
We must separate ourselves from the World. We will never walk in God’s power as long as we continue to mingle with the things of the world. Purity and Holiness is a much needed aspect in today’s Church, often time you cant even tell the difference between the World and the Church. But those who live Holy, and strive for moral and Spiritual Purity will be the Sons of God walking in the Power of God.
19For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. Romans 8:19 (Amplified Bible)
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans
8:14

.We must not forget our young people. The Prophet Joel said that our sons and daughters (our Kids) would prophesy. Any body with a message can preach, but only those filled with God’s anointing can Prophecy to a Generation. And our young people will do just that. In Jesus Name.
42And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 1 Samuel 17:42
Satan has always despised the youth, that’s why the devil has killed so many of them through abortion because he knows that if the youth ever rise up for God the repercussions would be devastating to the kingdom of darkness !
48And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 1 Samuel 17:48-50
The young people may not use the same tools they my not talk the same talk as their adult counterparts in Generations past, but that’s ok. In stead of condemning them for doing things differently, we need to celebrate them and welcome them into the Kingdom, to the battle, for such a time as this. It was a boy that set Israel free and it will be the youth that will of set this Generation free as well.
