Manifesting The Glory Of God/Yahweh That The World Might Believe!!! Shalom Brothers and Sisters, we are all born from the Creation and the Spirit/Ruach of God/Yahweh whether you want to believe it or not… You have the choice however to either believe or disbelieve, to follow or not to follow the Word and Will of God/Yahweh. But for those who do follow God/Yahweh’s Word and Will, we all as Believers have an important task to do that will be both pleasing to God/Yahweh and also benefiting a better assurance to enter into the Kingdom of God/Yahweh for Eternal Life. So what is that important task we have to do? It is: Manifesting The Glory Of God/Yahweh That The World Might Believe!!! The passage from the Word of God/Yahweh for today comes from John 17:20-26 that reads; ““My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”” The Apostle Paul when writing to the church at Rome humbled the religious leaders who thought that their good works, (which was nothing less than hypocrisy), would please God/Yahweh outside of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ/Yeshua, He reminded them in Romans 3:23 where He says; “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” This was very well needed for the religious leaders who had thought within themselves that because they were teachers and instructors of the law, they were suddenly made righteous without faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ/Yeshua… In other words they felt that they were righteous and holy, because of whom they were, apart from who Jesus/Yeshua is!!! Paul reminded them that outside of Christ/Yeshua we would never be righteous, holy or ever able to accomplish His desired end for us by our own strength!!! However, by the sacrificial blood offering of Jesus Christ/Yeshua, by applying faith in Him things have now changed!!! When Jesus/Yeshua prayed to His Father/Abba concerning the Church, He stated in John 17:22: “I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one.” In other words what Jesus/Yeshua was asking His Father to do is: Where we have fallen short when we were yet sinners (unsaved), we no longer have to fall short anymore now as saints… In 2 Peter 1:3-4 it reads; “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” The glory that we have fallen short of at one time when we were not under grace, we can now have and experience having been washed and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ/Yeshua… We read in Ephesians 2:12-13; “Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Hallelujah brothers and sisters, this is the Good News of the Gospel!!! God/Yahweh made a promise to Moses in Numbers 14:21 saying; “Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the LORD fills the whole earth.” The Lord had spoken this promise to Moses in some very troublesome times!!! Israel who had the call upon their lives to manifest the glory of God/Yahweh had just disobeyed the Lord due to their unbelief!!! They had been brought to the brink of the land of promise and were not able to enter in because they had refused to go the way the Lord was leading them… This hurt the heart of God/Yahweh!!! His desire for Israel was in essence to be the evangelists of the earth. People were supposed to view Israel’s worship, customs, law and glory and desire their God/Yahweh, who had made them such… Israel was supposed to manifest God/Yahweh to those who did not know God/Yahweh… We read in Deuteronomy 10:19; “And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.” However, they (Israel) rebelled against God/Yahweh in the wilderness during their time of testing and their hearts were not steadfast with the Lord. As a result of them rebelling and refusing to humble themselves, many of them forfeited there promised Blessing!!! Sadly, He could not use them at that time to manifest His desire to draw all people, nations and tongues unto Himself, as we read in Psalm 78:8, 37 says; “They would not be like their ancestors—a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him... their hearts were not loyal to him, they were not faithful to his covenant.” But the Bible also declares in Romans 3:3-4; “What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”” In other words, Paul is expressing that just because some people may not believe in what God/Yahweh has promised and refuse to go God/Yahweh’s way, it still does not negate the fact that the manifested glory of God/Yahweh, will be revealed upon this earth... If God/Yahweh said; “that His glory will fill this earth,” then brothers and sisters I dont care what people say, think, believe or disbelieve; the fact remains, the manifested glory of God/Yahweh will fill this earth!!!! And we see that Jesus Christ/Yeshua was sent to manifest the glory of His Father/Abba! Amen!!! What Israel as a whole could not do, God/Yahweh did through one man, His Son, Our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ/Yeshua!!! In Romans 8:3 it says; “For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man.” In other words, it was God/Yahweh’s desire to manifest to mankind who He is in all of His fullness!!! This is what Jesus Christ/Yeshua did by fulfilling to the letter and was all which was required of Him… we read in Matthew 5:17; “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” When Jesus/Yeshua came He manifested to all who were living the expressed image of God/Yahweh. Everything that the Godhead is, Jesus/Yeshua revealed it to mankind. He manifested love for people in John 11:3, 36 where we read; “So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick… Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”” Power over Satan and the demonic forces is recorded in Luke 8:28-29 that says; “When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” For Jesus had commanded the evil spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.” Deliverance for the captives written in Mark 7:33-35 says; “After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (Which means, “Be opened!”). At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.”” And victorious and open triumph over the world is written in John 16:33; “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” As an ambassador is sent on a mission to represent for his said country, even so Jesus Christ/Yeshua came and represented for His country (heaven) and manifested to earth qualities, power, graces and virtue, which have never before been seen in all the earth!!! The Bible declares in John 1:4; “In him was life, and that life was the light of man.” In other words the majestic life of Jesus Christ/Yeshua was what brought light (revelation) to man!!! The way He lived, loved and conducted Himself produced such a desire within the hearts of people that they desired what He had. He not only instructed us to be the salt of the earth, but Jesus/Yeshua was the salt of this earth and as salt makes people thirsty, so Jesus/Yeshua’s life manifested so much glory, He made everyone thirsty for Himself!!! This same glory, which was manifested in Jesus Christ/Yeshua, is made available to us as the Church of God/Yahweh and of Jesus Christ/Yeshua... We cant continue to live under the foolish lies of men thinking we are sinners saved by grace, or making excuses for our sin by stating; “we all fall short of the glory of God!!!” Brothers and Sisters, when Jesus/Yeshua comes into our hearts, the same power, the same glory, and the same life that Jesus/Yeshua lived is within us, we have been truly Blessed with all of this also… As the light that radiated through Christ/Yeshau was the light for all men in His time, even so now in our time, it is His Will that our life is the light that radiates through the darkness of men’s lives, and brings hope to all who are without hope today!!! We have seen this glory manifest through Jesus Christ/Yeshua, now Jesus/Yeshua wants to manifest that same glory through you and me His Church of God/Yahweh!!! In John 14:12 it tells us; “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” Here we have it in the Word of God/Yahweh from the mouth of Jesus/Yeshua Himself!!! If we truly believe in Jesus Christ/Yeshua, the same things that He manifested in His life will also be made manifest in our lives… Also in John 14:9-10 it is written; “Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.” Jesus/Yeshua was expressing to Philip that if he had seen Him (Jesus/Yeshua), he had seen His and Our Father/Abba!!! It wasn’t that Jesus/Yeshua is the Father/Abba, because He (Jesus/Yeshua) is the Son/Ben!!!! However, every miracle Jesus/Yeshua performed, every sermon Jesus/Yeshua preached, and every demon Jesus/Yeshua cast out was done through direct revelation and intimate knowledge of His Father/Abba’s Will, through the Holy Spirits/Ruach HaKodesh’s guidance!!! Everything Jesus/Yeshua did manifested His Father/Abba… In Hebrews 1:3 it tells us; “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Jesus/Yeshua is the Shine of His Father/Abba’s Sun… the light of His Father/Abba’s light bulb… the Living Word of His Father/Abba’s written Word!!! Brothers and Sisters: This same light He has passed on to us as His Church of God/Yahweh!!! Hallelujah!!! Jesus/Yeshua said in John 17:20-23 from the passage; “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” This is Jesus/Yahweh’s earnest and fervent prayer to His Father/Abba that we become: One with them!!! You know, the thing I love about the prayers that Jesus/Yeshua prayed is: They all get answered by His Father/Abba!!! His prayer is that as He and His Father are one, as we the Church of God/Yahweh should be made perfect and complete in the oneness with them… I don’t honestly believe that Jesus/Yeshua’s desire is for us to become little gods, but I do believe that He desires us to be in a complete and perfect oneness with Him, as He is in His and Our Father/Abba… That oneness I believe the Lord is speaking of here is: His desire for us to partake of His divine nature and His glory... In other words, He just doesnt desire us to know about the truth, or to know about love: But His desire is that we become the truth, and that we become love!!! He has made us partakers of His divine nature, again as He said in 2 Peter 1:3-4; “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” And His call over our lives is; “glory and goodness.” When we as a Church of God/Yahweh allow God/Yahweh to manifest Himself through us, we become His vessels, which house the manifested glory of God/Yahweh!!! This is the glory that the world has been waiting to see and to behold!!! When we as a Church of God/Yahweh allow the name of Jesus Christ/Yeshua to be hallowed in our lives, by becoming His name by living holy, righteous, kind, forgiving, merciful, loving, and pure, etc. We will be able to say like Jesus/Yeshua said; “If you have seen me, you have seen my Father!!!” Thus fulfilling the call upon our lives as written in 1 John 4:17; “In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the Day of Judgment: because in this world we are like him.” Jesus/Yeshua said; “it would be by our love we have one for another (the church of God/Yahweh) that people (unsaved) will know that we are Jesus/Yeshua disciples in John 13:34-35 where it says; “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” It’s the oneness that we all possess with the Godhead, which will manifest the tangible glory of God/Yahweh and usher in the revival to the Church of God/Yahweh and have a great harvest of lost souls!!! The Word of God/Yahweh preached is good, and the Word of God/Yahweh taught is even better, but the Word of God/Yahweh manifested within our lives is Glorious!!! In 2 Corinthians 4:6 it says; “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” Let us allow Christ/Yeshua to manifest in and through us in all we do, say or think!!! God/Yahweh Bless you all as we as Believers live our lives: Manifesting The Glory Of God/Yahweh That The World Might Believe!!! Be Blessed in the name and shed blood of Christ Jesus/Yeshua and live as Him to manifest the Glory of God/Yahweh…Hallelujah, Amen!!!
