 In this section we love to hear What GOD is saying about HIS glory and the Glory to come Thank you Theresa Phillips
Wow it is amazing what GOD can do, when we let HIM..
I was challenged recently about the talk of Angels and the unusual manifestations of The “Glory”.
The challenge did nothing but make me dig deeper into the atmosphere of The Kings Domain even more.
For 14 years I have studied Royal Protocol and certain Monarchies etc. Using the study as a means of understanding the supernatural ways of A Kings domain. Then applying the concepts here in the below. It has truly become a way of life for me.
I have watched people who love to ascend into the heights of Gods Tangible Presence soar with ease. To return from Heavenly places with marvelous testimonies. ( wither in the body or our of the body …2nd COR 12v2 ..I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. NIV ) The Key here is GOD knows…Plus they believe in what they experienced and they share it with great enthusiasm! Then some respond with envy or perhaps critical spirits of unbelief… God knows.
I watched as many have said they want to “Ascend” become frustrated that “IT” hasn’t happened to them …..yet.. Still they are waiting with great expectancy for that fresh new tangible touch from GOD. After all would GOD really withhold this from anyone?
(James 1:17
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. KJV )
Key here is light which used in this text could be Revelation of a place that will be illuminated… in time….for I have learned IN Time GOD shows all things. Still some feel it might be in error to discuss this type of worship and ascending worship.
Then I watched with great reserve and overwhelming compassion of love for the precious people of GOD who are satisfied with ”Just as I am”. Ever fearful to step over the threshold of the “Norm” to perhaps … a great place of intimacy they have never experienced. The key here is to develop a mentality of being teachable .
(Proverbs 14 v6
A scoffer seeks Wisdom in vain [for his very attitude blinds and deafens him to it], but knowledge is easy to him who [being teachable] understands. AMP) yet many are fearful to learn. And they to become critical .
So I sought the Lord How Lord and Why Lord …. ?
Which brings me to a word that the Lord has been speaking to me for some time, it is a simple one ..Still one that will require some thinking.
“ How you respond will determine your future”
That ..Made me think! I quickly did all the “checks” Where did I sin where did I go wrong?? What is this and that? Repenting for some time … Just in case I missed something.
However …. This scripture stands out for me.
Luke 8 v 18
Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him."
I found a brilliant key here. The word HOW YOU LISTEN…
So I began meditating on that phrase, when I heard Him clearly say
“How you respond will dictate your future.”
Yikes! Help me Lord!!
So now, I am gleaning from that statement. My future really depends on my response ( using an intellectual action) ..not my reaction, (using an emotional action).
While emotions cannot rule us we do have them for He Himself is an emotional GOD ( Eph 4 v 30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.( the act of being restored to a better condition) my entry )
So we know He has feelings too …that’s wonderful! Still we must discern the effects of emotional rule or emotional responses.
Gasps of fear or delight Perhaps saying nothing at times really is best. The choice is ours.
Tearfully I cried to HIM why Lord do we not understand what really is your Glory?
In the silence of waiting
I came to the knowledge that the “Glory is HIIM”
The Glory is evidence that HE is present. The Dust particles we see on floor with great delight is evidence of HIS House ( City of Pure Gold Rev 21 v 18)
Job 22:23-25 KJV
23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
The Feathers are the covering of HIM could this be The Spirits Presence ?
after all Holy Spirit is referred to as a Dove..
Psalms 91v4
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
The stones and manna symbols of growth.
Rev 2
17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Yes the Manna has been seen and tasted. Why not?
Did not The Lord say it would remain? Ex 16v33
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
These are but some of the signs of the Presence of GOD among us many are discussing and questioning today.
He is ever Present He is near and he will remain with us.
Some Signs and Wonders have many wondering their
necessary existence.
Still we run when we see healing. We marvel at words of Knowledge.
We cherish the eagerly awaited prophetic utterance .
We adore the tongues of Angels By The Holy Spirit We LOVE the gifts!
Yet to some the reality of this dimension seems to far out there. Even some believe it is non existent “not for now” Still I embrace the simple graceful words that ALL things are possible and I can do All things thru Christ who give me strength ( even to believe with a positive response)
For John 14 v 12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father
If I read this right I am being given the opportunity to have access to all He has done, given and will inherit .Moses
was a man of great signs and extra ordinary Supernatural wonders.
He even stood on Stone that looked like sapphire. even
Ex 24v10
And they saw the God of Israel [that is, a convincing manifestation of His presence], and under His feet it was like pavement of bright sapphire stone, like the very heavens in clearness.
Then I ask What about Me dear Lord What about the “ Glory” Now its not a new thing to ask Show me your Glory Moses did it in Ex 33
For there He speaks … puts us in the place next to him and He passes by Imparts HIMSELF to us .. Then what ever we do we do as unto Lord.
We become the “glory carrier” We carry what he has entrusted us to carry.. We learn our part .
Because The Glory is HIM We are IN Him He is IN us we must carry HIM to the Nations !
However he chooses BY Being … a foolish enough to confound the wise 1 Cor 1v27
Being willing to be different by responding with a resounding yes Lord yes !
For fear has torment BUT yes carries grace ..and where there is grace there is the favor of The King.
For the walls of His Palace are filled with gems His Courtyards are structured with the purest gold and the sea is like crystal HIS Angels eat manna. AND WE ARE SEATED WITH HIM THERE…. Eph 2 v 6
With that as a vision how can we now realize He made us in HIS Image. Clothed us with HIS son and graces us with His Spirit .
For what purpose? He does what a king does
What any King would do…
He wants us to represent HIM and carry His Glory to the ends of the earth Proclaiming His Kingdom has no end.
How we respond to what He is doing will impact our future! It could turn us around and change a nation.
The Goal is to just finish well. Not loosing our joy. Not becoming bitter or competitive. Just finish well …
Well done faithful ones you have responded well says the Lord.
God is Building a New Highway Called "Media Spring Street"
Catch the Wave!
Julie A. Smith:
Last week I had a dream I was standing on a street in Hollywood, California. I was looking for a home but couldn't find one. I felt lost, homeless, and confused as to why I was standing in this place all alone. A woman who knew how I felt approached me and said, "Did you look on Media Spring Street?"
When she said the words "Media Spring Street," my spirit filled with great joy and anticipation. I knew in my spirit this was a new place-a new street being built by God Himself. He was placing people on His street where a new Media movement would spring up. I knew I needed to get to Media Spring Street because that's where I belonged!
In my dream I hadn't arrived at this street yet; this was just downloaded to me as this woman mentioned only the street name. It reminded me of hearing the words "Disneyland" and how we are instantly filled with joy and recognize it as a happy place full of fun. The words "Media Spring Street" created a movement of its own. When people just simply heard "Media Spring Street" it was like catching a wave of God and you wanted to get there as fast as you could!
Then God starting giving me revelation about this new street He is building. He said it is a "highway" for Him being built, and the people He called there make up the highway. They themselves are the very Media Spring Street that would spring up. I understood this to be a holy place, a higher ground, and a highway built for God.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.-Isaiah 43:19
God Dropped His Library on Media Spring Street and the Fun Began...
God said, "My holy words will be spoken out of Hollywood." I knew He was speaking of heavenly revelation that would be released in this place. I then had a vision of God dropping down His library from Heaven on to this new Media Spring Street. He literally placed His own library right in the middle of the street! This would be a place where revelation knowledge, prophetic words and insight, and God's holy words from Heaven would be released.
When you think of a library, you may think of a serious, quiet place-a no-fun zone. Not in this place! This is a fun and deep place to live! Scrolls from Heaven-God's living words-will be lived out! Words written, sung, played out on the big screen, danced, drawn out-it all came from His library He was releasing on this street, and the people He called there would be releasing them. It will be a place of creativity at its finest.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.-Habakkuk 2:14
I knew in my dream I just had to get to this place and catch the wave of Media Spring Street! It is a place where God's dreams come true. A place filled with joy and laughter, and a place I felt at home. I woke up filled with excitement for this new street God is building. What comes out of Hollywood affects cultures worldwide. This is not a citywide movement but a worldwide media movement which will shift nations and cultures worldwide. The very living, breathing heart of God will dwell and be released from this place.
There are people called and who are being called to bring a new movement of God to the media capital. In my dream, I represented a people who felt alone like they didn't belong and hadn't found their niche, yet they knew God had called them. Let me assure you-you will find your niche on Media Spring Street. It's where you belong!
I know there will be much more revelation concerning this new Media Spring Street that will be springing up. I felt my dream was "in part" and an introductory insight to what is to come. The very morning I had this dream last week, I received an article from Julie Meyer about her dream of a new Media springing up, which you can read below. Julie Meyer also mentions a word for Asia, which is very near and dear to my heart as well.
Are you ready to catch the wave to Media Spring Street?

A Word from the Lord …Marie Chapian
Dearest one, you’ve been concentrating on the small trails and vexations of the day, and not looking upon the great Purpose I have for you and the plans I have for you, which far supersede the cares of the day My plans for you outnumber the stars. Greatness lies within you. Think of yourself as climbing a mountain. If you look down at each stony, difficult step, laboriously focusing on each pebble and slippery slope you encounter, you’ll wear yourself out. But if you keep your eyes upward toward your goal, the glorious crest of the mountain, your feet will take you to the summit without complaint. Think of each step you take as something beautiful and exotic with wonder, courage and strength. Don’t be afraid of pain. Fear of pain produces cowards. You are not a coward.
At times you may be tempted to forget that I am your Friend. Have you
forgotten that? Pause for a moment to remind yourself Who I am in your life, and what we mean to each other. Up, I say, UP, higher, higher! Come, be not afraid. Be not nervous or doubtful. Be glad. Rejoice because I have called you to walk (climb) by faith, not by sight. I have chosen you, darling one, and I don’t make it easy for my chosen ones. I make it holy and I make it anointed and I make it blessed. Be comforted with these words, dear one: you are chosen.
from Marie
I can’t tell you how urgent this message of the mountain is for you and for me in this hour. I hear Him proclaiming His love for you, and how dearly wanted by Him you are. Sometimes you may feel left out or passed by, but it’s not true. You’re on your mountain climb! God sees you, He recognizes your needs and He is strengthening you! He wants you strong and brave, for this is beautiful to Him. I’m writing a new book, traveling and speaking and today I spent praying over the needs that come in to our Power Encounter Intercessors. Please check out my website, for CD’s and books to help you on your upward journey. You’ll also find me on Facebook, Twitter and especially mariechapian.blogspot.com where I have begun my personal story of coming from a life in the theatre to a life in ministry. ‘Til next time --

\ One Person Living In Two Places Simultaneously
By Ron McGatlin
Are you aware of supernatural heaven on earth?
We have always known or believed that we could not be in two places at the same time. A few centuries ago we also knew or believed that the world was flat and that solid matter and energy were two entirely different things. To the scientist, when fresh understanding through research becomes manifest, it is like a fresh awakening of an exciting new day. Truth is that they did not discover anything new; they only became aware of what had always been there.
Scientists have continued to uncover increased knowledge that awakens minds to new areas of awareness, of realms of existence that change their previous beliefs. Scientific knowledge of matter and energy when investigated to its deepest visible point of origin disappears into a spiritual realm that cannot be seen or perceived by natural human minds.
Natural or physical things including this world and all that is in it were not made by things that are seen (Heb 11:3). All creation emanates from an unseen spiritual realm that can only be seen by spiritual eyes of spiritual beings. Among all natural earthly beings only redeemed and restored humans have the potential to access and enter into the heavenly spiritual realm in Christ Jesus. The spiritual realm from which all creation emanates is far greater and far more significant than the physical or natural realm created by the spiritual.
Mankind in Adam was originally created in the image and likeness of God and the breath of the Spirit of God breathed into him. At the fall of Adam, a separation occurred between sinful man and the heavenly spiritual realm. In Christ Jesus full redemption and restoration to man’s original created state is provided for those who will receive the transforming work of Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit.
In Christ Jesus we become redeemed spirit beings restored to full access into the spiritual realm. Because of the fall, natural unredeemed humans have no access to the things of the Spirit realm. Full redemption and restoration includes full access into the heavenly spiritual realm, to see and hear the mysteries of God that transform us into sons of God with the life potential of Christ Jesus as joint heirs with Him (Rom 8:17).
There are two realms of life: the heavenly spiritual realm and the natural or physical realm. We, as redeemed spirit beings in Christ Jesus, exist in both realms at the same time. The earth realm and the heavenly realm overlap and come together in us. We are seated with Christ in the heavenly realm and at the same time functioning in the natural earth realm (Eph 2:6). We can actually walk in the Spirit realm while also in the natural earth realm.
The two realms or:
· Earth Realm and Heaven Realm
· Human Being and Spirit Being
· Natural and Supernatural
· Temporal and Eternal
· Physical and Spiritual
· Finite and Infinite
Awareness is the key to participation in both realms.
Not unlike the natural unredeemed person who has no awareness of the heavenly spiritual realm, many redeemed people have little to no awareness of the spiritual realm. They are by default much more focused on and aware of the natural realm and all that it involves. Believers in this condition are referred to in scripture as carnal (1 Cor 3:1-4). Many are led to believe that the heavenly realm is only available in an after life, and certainly not fully available while still in the natural realm. This belief greatly hinders the manifestation of the kingdom ofGod coming forth on earth as it is in heaven.
Provision of God along with our willingness and focus are required to become more fully aware of the heavenly spiritual realm. The provision of God includes a developing inner hunger for more of the heavenly realm brought about by the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit not only brings the desire but also provides the empowerment to enter into full awareness of the heavenly realm and the things God has prepared in it for those who love Him.
For all believers who do not yet have spiritual awareness of the heavenly realm, a greater provision or experience of the Holy Spirit is provided by God. All followers of Christ have received the Holy Spirit bringing the Spirit of Christ Jesus to abide with them. The Holy Spirit has come to you, and Christ is in you.
The greater provision to be experienced is you being taken by the Holy Spirit through the rent veil into the awareness of the Spirit realm. It is you being completely filled, immersed, and saturated with the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit of God that raised Christ Jesus from the dead raising you from a position of being dead (unaware) to the Spirit realm to becoming intensely aware in the Spirit realm (Rom 8:11). The scripture refers to this as being baptized with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5) (Mat 3:11).
Knowing and relating to God intimately is only in the Spirit realm. The love of Father God expressed in Christ Jesus consumes us in the Spirit realm. Loving Him and being with Him is everything we ever desired and needed. We are fulfilled and we are greatly enlightened in the mysteries of God. In the heavenly spiritual realm, we are empowered and instructed in how to function in the natural earthly realm. We receive from God in the heavenly realm and bring it to the natural realm. The gifts and works of God are of adequate measure to complete every work of God that you are sent from the heavenly realm to do in the natural earth realm.
This living reality is simultaneous. We are in two places, two realms at one time. We are truly seated with Christ communing with Him and in the world bringing the reality of the heavenly kingdom to earth. The kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy flowing through the love of God in us touches earth, and the world becomes a bit more as it is in heaven. This is not a positional teaching. It is a living experience of spiritual/natural reality.
Christ In You – You In Christ
In the heavenly spiritual realm we are IN CHRIST. In the world doing the works of God from heaven, CHRIST IS IN US. We are at the same time in Christ Jesus, and Christ Jesus is in us. We are in the world but not of the world.
God Family and Human Family
As natural beings we are well aware of our earthly families. Many believers are just now in this opportune season coming into the real experiential awareness of their heavenly family.
Being filled, immersed, and saturated in the Holy Spirit and abiding in the Spirit realm, we become aware of our place in our Heavenly Family. We know and experience our Heavenly Father in His love and secure assurance. We also experience our gentle, passionate, and loving Husband Jesus. In the Spirit realm we experience our place as His purified holy Bride completely engulfed in His love.
We also become aware of our place in the heavenly family on earth as sons of God whom Jesus speaks of as brethren. In the earthly realm we are Sons doing God’s works and Jesus is our King. In the heavenly realm we are His Bride intimately relating to and loving our glorious Lord and Husband.
How wonderful and beyond imagination are the things God has prepared for those who love Him.
Spiritual life is not subject to natural life. Natural is always subject to the Spirit. The creator is never subject to the created. The created is always subject to the creator. The Spirit realm is not changed by the natural realm. The natural realm is changed by the Spirit realm. The heavenly spiritual realm is not penetrable by the darkness of the natural realm.
However, because of man’s God-given dominion on earth and his subsequent ability to choose, our entrance and participation in the heavenly realm can be greatly hindered by the natural realm. That is to say our focus on the natural realm can obstruct our focus and awareness in the spiritual realm.
We must become willing volunteers and set our focus or affection on things above not on things on the earth (Col 3:2). The vast amount of contaminating religious and secular influence and training flooding the earth from ungodly sources seeks to prevent us from being baptized with the Holy Spirit, thereby preventing us from becoming aware of what God has already prepared for us in the Spirit realm. We already have it all fully paid for through Christ Jesus but are unaware of its availability to us in the Spirit realm now. Therefore, many believers who have not experienced the full baptism with the Holy Spirit go through life unaware of the heavenly reality of intimately relating and truly abiding in Christ Jesus in the heavenly spiritual realm.
Leaving the Natural Realm as Primary
There is a leaving of focus on the natural realm to increase focus on the heavenly kingdom realm thereby increasing our awareness. The natural realm is not our source. We are the natural realm’s source for the release of the heavenly provision and guidance from the spiritual kingdom of Christ Jesus. The leaving and receiving the greater was demonstrated in the disciples of Jesus who had left their natural lives to follow Christ and His kingdom.
Luke 18:28-30: Then Peter said, "See, we have left all and followed You." So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."
Hidden Wisdom and Things Unseen and Unheard in the Heart of Natural Man
Heavenly supernatural life that goes beyond all the understanding of man waits in the realm of” in Christ Jesus” – the realm of the Spirit - completely satisfied life of extreme and intense peace and joy in perfect righteousness and holy union with God – wisdom and understanding that supersedes all human wisdom – knowledge that is not learned but imputed by the Spirit are some of the things.
Perhaps the overriding supreme reality is the passionate love of Father God and the exceeding joy of pleasing Him in ultimate worship and passionate love. Just the reality of being there with God in the pure, white, holy fire of His glory consumes us completely into Him. Our hearts melt in His glorious presence. We are supercharged with His glory and love beyond all reasonable measure.
Life on earth can never be the same as we walk in sync with God in the Spirit realm and walk upon the natural earth at the same time. Faith is consumed in the Spirit realm with Him. It is replaced with simply knowing that anything God says of any magnitude is completely done the moment He has you to speak it forth on earth.
1 Cor 2:6-10: However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
1 Cor 2:14: But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Melted in His presence
Consumed in His love,
Ron McGatlin
