We are created to give Yahveh glory and we have to give Him glory. (Isaiah 43:7) Eternally everyone in His Kingdom will give Him glory. (Revelation 4:8) We have got to do that. It is robbery of the highest degree not to stop and give Him glory continually. If you learn nothing else you have got to learn this. Yahshua lived on this earth to continually give glory to His Father and to teach us to do the same by obedience in word and deed. (see John 17:1) It is imperative, it is so important. Believers many times during the day exchange His glorious presence for a worthless idol. It is a horrible and shocking thing. (See Jeremiah 5:30) It is like Esau exchanging his eternal glorious inheritance for something that would satisfy his idolatrous hunger and cravings. (Genesis 25:29-34) Yahveh is really honing in on the reality of where our focus is and where the glory goes. It is either upon us or departing from us. If it is not coming forth through us and ascending to His throne continually, then it is going to something idolatrous. We are entrusted to be holy custodians of His glory, to ensure that it is guarded and always given to Him. As the Holy Spirit is jealous for us because we are Yahshua’s holy people, we have to be jealous of Yahveh’s glory that it go only to Him, never to us, never to anyone, or any circumstance. (See James 4:5, Numbers 25:10-11) Everything is always exalted to the glory of Yahveh.
The Holy Spirit is grieving because of all the glory the enemy is siphoning off, keeping people dissipated, distracted, and preoccupied. (See Luke 21:34) The natural flow of human beings is to be dragged down by gravity, being focused on the here and now and things we can taste, touch, and see. We forget that we are spiritual beings that owe it to Yahveh to live, move, and have our being in the Spirit, to give Him glory that ascends to His throne, which is His due always, in all things, at all times. (Acts 17:24) The world will never understand this and the people in the flesh, whether they profess to be believers or not, will never understand it. Expressing the glory will make people uncomfortable thinking we have become a religious fanatic but Apostle Paul says, “I become a fool for your sake.” (see 1 Corinthians 4:10) He means, I become a fool in the Spirit, for your sake. I speak the truth in love, which makes me look like a fool and rejected by most.” (see Ephesians 4:15)
Yahveh in essence is saying, “if you go out from the world and leave it you will go up. If you go out into the world you will go down.” The gravitational pull of the love of mammon and the things of the world will pull us down. Only the ones who are obedient will ascend upward because they did not go out of the boundaries of obedience. They clung to Yahveh and in love they heeded His voice. Part of the obedience in obeying His voice is to let His voice be heard through our voice. We are His mouthpieces and that will cost us everything like it cost Yahshua to be obedient to bring the Father glory. He emptied Himself to surrender His life as a sacrifice that others could live because of infinite love. That same love says, “Lay down your life as I did because there is no greater love than being like your Master, so that others can live. (John 15:13) You will be mocked, ridiculed, and cast out, but Yahshua says, “How can you be cast out if you have already gone out of the world, out of the camp to bear My reproach, and are not looking back?” (see Hebrews 13:13) The Spirit is crying out, “arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of Yahveh has risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1) The prophet Isaiah saw the latter day outpouring of the glory. It will be the greatest harvest at the end of the age because of all the seeds falling to the ground. The martyr’s light will be shining so brightly to their last breath, lighting up the gross darkness, bringing more and more people into the light.
When Yahshua sends you, you are being sent by the Spirit to say as He did, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2) We don’t go into the world to be part of the world and say, “the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” We go to bring Yahshua (Jesus) to a dying world. We don’t go into the dying world to have fellowship with them, lest we be drawn down toward the eternal blazing fires reserved originally for Satan and the fallen angels. Sadly, these fires are now also reserved for all fallen humanity throughout the ages who would not acknowledge the Creator and love Him as their Heavenly Father, by obeying His voice and commandments. They did not live to glorify, worship, and serve Him.
It doesn’t matter what you said, what you have done, or how many people that you have convinced that you are a true believer, including yourself, Yahveh knows the heart and He knows who you serve. If you speak to glorify His Father and every word you speak is not to glorify or exalt yourself, or to stay on a level that is comfortable to keep you from being rejected, and if you lift people’s sights up to the Holy One and to the glory that He deserves, then you are a child of the Most High God. But the one who speaks to bring glory to Himself or to the things of this world is not. (see John 7:18) It has to do with what comes out of our mouth. If we please no man but please Yahveh that is what is the determining factor. Are we speaking to glorify our God and Savior or are we watching out for ourselves? Even though we are not glorifying ourselves purposely, if we are not purposely giving Yahveh the glory to take the focus off this world, off the fleshy realm, and point people upward, then you might as well be doing it for your glory because you are trying to save yourself discomfort and rejection or situations that might have some fall out that you are not willing to be persecuted for. It is written, “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Messiah Yahshua will be persecuted.” (2 Timothy 3:12) As Apostle Peter said, “If you are reproached for the name of Messiah, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.” (1 Peter 4:14) HalleluYah
