The glory of God and His presence are indeed weighty considerations. When I became a Christian in 1970 I attended a spirit-filled church and missionary school. I would like to think that all churches are spirit-filled but they are not. The Scriptures teach that we should turn away from those who deny the power of God. It seems that lots of people are spooked by anything supernatural. Perhaps the word “supernatural” is just our way of saying that the presence of our Lord and thus His glory is beyond our understanding which it is. There are always people who mock or make a mockery of the sacred but that should not stop Christians from expecting Jesus! When His presence draws near one cannot help but melt into tears or feel like dust and ashes. He is awesome and beyond any words I can use to describe Him. I think the ancients who painted the halos were right on track. Whether we realize it or not all Christians are under the umbrella of God and His glory does rest upon us. It is too much for me to expound on the glory and presence of our Lord in this short space but I will exclaim I have experienced Jesus’ splendour. The world and all its allure cannot compare to Jesus. I pray for our eyes to be open, opened, and remain open.
