     The greatest hour of God's glory is upon us. We are in the last days before the rapture of the church. Powerful demonstrations of God's glory will be displayed. Signs, miracles, and wonders are going to begin to flow with a powerful intensity as if a dam had broken and flooded a valley downstream. One of the awesome signs that will occur in the last days was revealed to me by the Holy Spirit. God said that the church will literally glow!

Receiving The Glory of God

     When the power of God came upon me, I began to prophesy about the intense light that will shine from the church. God said that every believer from the least to the greatest will be overflowing with God's glory. This will begin to flood the earth with the glory of God. (Hab. 2:14) He said that the same power that flowed on the mount of transfiguration (Matt. 17:1-8; Mark 9:1-8; Luke 9:28-36) will flow through us, His church.

Matthew 17: 1-2
After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.

     The glory of God will become so dazzling bright in the heart of every believer that we will actually begin to glow with that glory. Jesus, praying for us, said,

"I have given them the glory that You gave Me,
that they may be one, as We are one."
John 17:22

     God said that He has made us a little lower than Himself and crowned us with glory and honor (Psa. 8:4-6; Heb. 2:6-8). Most translations say "the angels," instead of "Himself", but the word used in Hebrew is " Elohiym ." It is the plural form of God, meaning the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. Jesus wants to crown us with glory and make us a little lower than Himself.

     We are living in the most exciting time in the history of mankind! The signs, miracles, and wonders will bring the multitudes to Jesus in the end-time harvest. The church will begin to walk in the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:19) We will demonstrate the power of God as we begin to receive more and more of God's glory.

The Fire of God Will Be The Light

     God said that He is sending a Holy wind to believers. This wind will ignite the fire of God in the heart of every believer, even those with smoldering wicks. (Matt. 12:20) The fire will be so intense that believers will be radiant with the glory of God. Every born again believer will shine with this light by the time Jesus comes for His bride, the church.

Ephesians 5:25-27
Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

     The manifestation of God's glory in believers will happen very quickly. Just as on the mount of transfiguration, it will be like a flash of lightning. (Luke 9:29) God told me that there will be a group that will be clothed in this light first. They will then go forth and clothe multitudes in this magnificent light of God's glory. God said that the world will be so amazed at the light that they will actually think we are wearing some technological device like fiber optics in our clothing!

     The fire of God that will be ignited in the hearts of believers will be explosive. (2 Cor. 4:6) We will go forth into the earth and set the prisoners free. The zeal of the Lord will serve to reap in the end-time harvest of souls.

Isaiah 42:13
The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior He will stir up His zeal;
with a shout He will raise the battle cry and will triumph over His enemies.

Arise and Shine

     The entire church in these last days will awaken and rise up as Peter, James, and John did on the mount of transfiguration. (Luke 9:32) We, the church, will begin to truly realize what we have in us. We have the glory of God in us and we need to allow that light to shine to others!

2 Corinthians 3:18
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.

     A lost and dying world will see the glory of God on us, just as the Israelites saw the glory of God radiating from the face of Moses. (Exo. 34:30) The glory that we will reflect will be even more glorious! (2 Cor. 3:7-8)

Isaiah 60:1
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

     It is time to arise, because we are about to shine! God's glory is rising upon His church. If we want to walk in His glory, God said that we must ask for the key to open the glory which is in us. God told me that the key is believing His Word. When we totally believe God's Word, His Spirit will take us from glory to glory.

     Jesus is so radiant with the glory of God that He appears to be on fire. (Rev. 1:13-18) When the church begins to shine with the glory like Jesus, we will show the world that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7)

Daniel 12:3
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens,
and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
