Becoming "Agents of His Glory"!

How often do we miss, by lack of consciously choosing to be aware of, the Almighty's presence in our lives from day to day? The availability is always there. Will we choose to become aware of the need for His presence based on the cross we bear or simply to enjoy our relationship with the Creator of the Universe? In order to live in Resurrected Glory we must choose on earth as it is in heaven to be agents of HIS Glory.

The light that we carry has as one of its purposes the illumination of the way for people to come to deeper understanding, of the weight of HIS Glory. When we are wrapped in His Glory, worship, praise, thankfulness, and humility become natural products of His presence found therein. Liberty, Grace, & Freedom exist in this Glory and are spread like a blanket to all those who come under the influence of His presence.

Power and Authority reside in the shalom (peace) that is the Glory for in that place of unity with His heart and purpose, true security is found and confidence is understood. You become settled in your spirit, you become more aware and comfortable with who you were created to be, the longer you wait upon the Lord in the Glory of His presence.

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the GLORY....
... And I will dwell in the house of the LORD FOREVER!

The Gentile Diamonds and the Root Gemstones

The Gemstone - The Diamond - The Light of the Word - The Ephod - The Royal Setting - His Heart

Have you ever thought about diamonds. They all are unique no two exactly alike. They are valued by their clarity, cut, & color. A diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion, that is ability to disperse light of different colors, which results in its characteristic luster. In our lives we are a diamond that is specific and precisely cut with certain clarity & color we all obtain when we come to faith. As the Holy Spirit takes over in our lives the color gets clearer and clearer as long as we surrender and walk in faith.

The ephod was a garment that held the 12 stones of the tribes of Israel. Worn as part of the High Priests Garment. All beautiful colors. The Jews represent the rainbow of color. (Noah was given this promise after the flood) The Gentiles remind me of diamonds. These diamonds fit perfectly around the gemstones of the tribes of Israel in the Ephod. There is plenty of room in the ephod for the elect. It is our responsibility to allow the Holy Spirit to make us of the best color... without spec or blemish.

I can picture when our lord returns the Great High Priest, He will be wearing the ephod on the white horse with all of his treasures close to HIS heart and protecting the heart of who and what we are. He told us we needed to circumcise our hearts. We have HIS heart when we get into agreement with His plan for Israel both in the past, today, and the second coming that is close at hand.

The refraction potential we have for God goes beyond that which we could ever ask hope or imagine. We choose how much of His light we will refract for Him. As we are refracting the Light (I am the Light of the world. Jesus said) we bounce off and blend with the colored gems becoming the one new man and light to the world with HIM IN US... So let's let our light shine before men. Remember we have the light in us. The inner light of the Lord Jesus in the work of the Holy Spirit as Jesus did after He was baptized in the Jordan river.

Today is your day to Shine for Him. Allow His love to refract through the precision cut you are for Him. NO two diamonds are cut exactly the same, neither are we in the body of Christ cut exactly the same way. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

We are jointly and fitly put together. A diamond has a beautiful setting that it fits in.

Have you recognized the setting He has placed you in?

It is imperative today that you take a look at where you are placed in the Ephod and the Royal setting you were called too. Which one of the twelve tribe gemstones have you been placed around to help complete the engagement story and betrothal before the wedding that is about to take place according to Romans 11.

Our Love is what will make ISRAEL envious.

How in Love with Him are we?

How much of His love makes ISRAEL or those around you envious?

Have you been overshadowed by the most High God in a way that like Mary we have said may it be done according to your will?

I am encouraging each of us to examine our diamond and see what can be done to refine the clarity, allowing more light to shine through.

The truth or the lie!!!

The signs of the times are pointing to one conclusion... Those who seek will find... Man will deny, procrastinate, and refuse to align. The wise will embrace the truth instead of the lie.

Th Unplugged Lamp

I believe based on the Word of God that most, if not all, of the denominations and non-denominations that exist in the Church agree salvation can only be achieved by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross.

What troubles my spirit is that we have allowed the enemy to deceive blood bought believers of the role and function of the Holy Spirit in the earth and believers life. The enemy has allowed us to acknowledge the reality of the third person of the trinity and then stops there.

This creates a problem for the believer who desires to be used to lead people into true intimacy with God. The example looks like this: Imagine a lamp that is sitting next to a chair in a dark room and not plugged into the wall outlet. Now imagine an individual sitting in a chair next to the lamp trying to read the Word of God. The whole time the church being the lamp believes that the individual will be able to read the Word somehow in this dark room, find the Truth, and will be set free. The reality is if you would understand that you are 6 inches from being plugged into the wall outlet that could produce the light to help the individual with ease read and understand the truth that sets them free. This then empowers both the church and the individual to achieve life and life more abundant.

Jesus said, I am the LIGHT of the World. Jesus with the Holy Spirit in Him was and is a type and shadow for us today to conform to His image. (The image of God himself)

The Spirit empowered within us through Jesus has given us the authority already based on the blood and ressurection to be the light to the world.

Why not get plugged into the electrical outlet today and allow the Holy Spirit to Illuminate the way, truth, and life to all the individuals that sit in the chairs next to you throughout the journey of your life.

Empowered by the Spirit,

Todd
