1 GLORY REALMS Encountering Powerful Realms of God s Glory -Foundation Scripture Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 -Charles G. Finney, a Presbyterian minister in the 1800s. Father of Modern Revivalism. -The Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. (Habakkuk 2:20.) God s Desire a. God s desire for you is greater that your desire for Him. Mans Response to God s Desire Psalm 42:1-2: As the deer panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Song of Solomon 1:4:Draw me, we will run after thee. Psalm 80:18: Quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. I encourage myself when I pray in tongues. When I feel discouraged and tired, I pray in the Holy Ghost until rest and refreshing comes. The key is hunger.

2 Three Realms of Glory The Realm of Asking. The Outer Court. Flesh The Realm of Seeking. The Holy Place. Soul The Realm of Knocking. The Holy of Holies-Spirit *Fundamental Understanding to Encounter Glory Realms- The Glory Is In You!* Luke 17:20, And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom(glory, presence) of God is within you. I. The Realm of Asking. The Outer Court. Flesh Ask and you ll receive...every one that asks receives (Matthew 7:7). Asking is where we begin and results in abiding in Christ. This is the place of ASKING. Spiritual, physical, emotional needs to ministry, business, financial needs. This is the place you push through the flesh prayers, filled with many words. Confession, forgiveness and renewed consecration is found here. Every day the same pattern is repeated and you ll find yourself tired and weary easily in this place. AMEN is said and prayer ends. The same happens in praise/worship Example: Praise and Worship First Dimension: Todah The most challenging of the dimensions because it is an act of the will, a conscious choice. Refers to individuals, not corporate. PS 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name

3 Todah praise is the internal preparation which will allow us to ascend to the next level. Todah is the result of a conscious choice that takes us beyond our feelings and preferences. It causes us to praise God no matter what is going on in our life and no matter how uncomfortable we are or if the style is not our preference. Fifth Dimension: Zamar Zamar means to touch the strings or parts of a musical instrument. Ps 149:3 Let them praise his name (zamar) with dancing and make music to him with tambourine and harp. Please note that zamar is the 5 th dimension, not the 1 st.you don t start entering into the glory by making music, because music with instruments is to be an extension of the music, not the creator of it. You enter the glory with Todah. (back to Asking Realm) This realm deals with sin and distractions! (I could go for a cheeseburger) Warring with the devil - harassed by satan and the demonic. Asking begins in the outer court. This is where we make our requests known to Him: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6). Plan your intimacy time. (Marriage example) Transition Key in the Next Realm of Glory- a quickening in you soul. II. The Realm of Seeking. The Holy Place. Soul THERES A QUICKENING INSIDE YOUR SOUL. The soul is the set bed of emotions, will, thoughts. Your words become less and your heart becomes full of the Jesus reality in this realm.

4 This realm is where Jesus becomes tangible! Here the Word of God takes over you. The promises spring up from my soul Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. (Jeremiah 29:13-14) This is where the blood begins to cleans you. You feel it. You become aware of the mind of God about you and your life. Condemnation vs no condemnation, etc. THIS IS WHERE TRUE LIBERTY HAPPENS! You begin to hear less of the enemies voice and more of the voice of Jesus. Waiting on the Lord is the last stage before the next realm. Ex. of the Eagle! Transition Key To the Next Realm: a wind of the spirit III.The Realm of Knocking. The Holy of Holies-Spirit In this realm, you're no longer praying, singing, or speaking. A Holy silence overtakes you. KEY = an UNUSUAL SERENITY and PEACEFULNESS will gradually spread over your soul an awareness of the tangible Presence of Jesus and His embrace fills you're being and your place Song of Solomon 2:6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. The third realm of glory, the Holy of Holies, is the place of knocking, partnership, AND INTIMACY- with God. God speaks in the Holy of Holies. PS 46:10 BE STILL AND KNOW...INTIMACY.

5 PSALM 42:7-Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts (tornados, heavenly whirlwind); all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me. Billows are the intensity of waves. So when the waves of God's Presence come [beginning in the HOLY PLACE], they become more intense. They become more powerful as your intimacy continues with God....YOU ENTER INTO A HEAVENLY WHIRLWIND... ELIJAH-2 KINGS 2:7And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. EZEKIEL- EZ 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. YOUR NO LONGER PRAISING OR PRAYING, YOUR HAVING COMMUNION. THIS IS WHERE THE PRESENCE OD GOD PENETRATES YOU BEING WITH POWER!!! You become one with God. You become the temple that the glory fills. IV. MANIFESTATIONS TO EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE 1. TRUE INTERCESSION-Romans 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also help our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; In this realm, Jesus, the Intercessor enters in. Groanings without utterance. The Holy Spirit takes over. He begins to groan out of our being. But the groanings are audible. Suddenly intercession takes over our hearts. Without uttering a word, everything within you is burning like a volcano. Your begin to cry out. Heavenly agreement comes in. God needs this to act. You become His partner..

6 2. PSALM 91 PROTECTION PS 91 The atonement cover was God s dwelling place in the tabernacle. Above the ark and the atonement cover, God appeared in His glory in unapproachable light (1 Timothy 6:16). This light is sometimes referred to as the Shekinah glory. There is special Psalm 91 protection as you enter the HOLY OF HOLIES. This protection is angelic protection. You'll become aware of the angelic realm. 3. RECEIVING MIRACULOUS PROVISION-PS 16:11 You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. INWARDLY: "Bread of heaven feed me till I want no more" OUTWARDLY: No matter what you may need, you can reach out and take it i.e. healing, freedom, provision, etc. This is where you see Jesus as the only source of provision. The key here is to see Jesus bigger than the need. Seeing Jesus bigger than the need brings confidence and releases miraculous provision. The goal is to encounterjesus and see healings, provision, and other supernatural encounters. 4. REVELATION-Jn 1:11,12 11.He came to His own,and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: The secret place. Satan can't access this realm; secrets: God speaks to us here, often very sublimely. Imparts truth into our being. The operation of the gifts of the Spirit in the HOLY OF HOLIES is different to the operation of the gifts in the HOLY PLACE.
