| GLORY Experiencing the Atmosphere of Heaven by RUTH WARD HEFLIN Introduction I was born in the glory one Sunday after the evening service. My parents were Pentecostal pioneers. At the time I was born, they were living in a couple of Sunday School rooms of the church they founded in Richmond, Virignia. I was born in those rooms in those rooms in the glory of God that was manifested in their ministry. When I was a young girl I went directly from school to the church on Wednesday afternoons. The faithful of the church were gathered in prayer from one to four. I attended most of those prayer meetings. During the fiirst two hours they had been making their petitions and interceding before God. During the last hour they would just bask in His presence. Those were the best times . Every petition they could think of had been made. Now the Holy Ghost took over. Sounds of glory, dropped into my spirit from those years, have kept me as I traveled all over the world in mnistry. I have been in theousands of meetings and heard thousands of sermons but the greatest influence in my life has been those glory sounds that come forth in the latter hours of those prayer meetings where God's people touch the ternal realm. As air is the atmoshpere of earth, glory is the atmosphere of heaven. It lifts us up above the earthly, into the very presence of God. Praise until the spirit of worship comes, worship until the glory comes and then stand in the very presence of God. Later when I moved to Jerusalem to live and worship on Mount Zion the Lord began to show me the progression from PRAISE to WORSHIP to GLORY and the relationship between the three. I have found myself sharing these simple truths with God's people all over the world. Praise... until the spirit of worship comes, worship... until the Glory comes and then stand in the Glory. If ou can capture the basic principals of praise, worship and glory ... so simple that we often miss them, you can have anuthing else you want in God. It doesn't matter if you are alone and have nobody to agree with you in prayer. It doesn't matter at what stage you are in your spiritual developement. Move into the glory realm and anything becomes possible. Suggested Donation - $15.00 Call Merrie Turner 434 . 316 . 2559 click here Specify English, Spanish, French, Swedish, Finnish, German |
