Luke 2:9-10, 13-14 NKJV  And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord  shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them,"Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people….13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  14  "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"  

2 Cor 3:18 NKJV   But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord , are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Ps 24:9-10  Lift up your heads, O you gates!  Lift up, you everlasting doors!  And the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory ? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory .Selah  NKJV

The Lord spoke “ Glory, Glory, Glory !”
“ The church right now has more story than glory but that will soon change.  I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind.  I AM striving with My church to transform her into MY CONCEPT of what she should be, and many are going through transformations right now.  Lines are being drawn in the sand.  I am bolstering MY intimate education and leading you into new areas and I will continue to prod, and pry, and smolder, and conform you into the bride I want to perfect.  I AM FAITHFUL and TRUE, and there is nothing I won’t do that I have spoken to you !

Hold on for the ride is getting FASTER, and the changes will be even more transforming as I stoke the fires and kindle the ovens of revival in your hearts.  For I am faithful and JUST to do all that is in My heart to make you more like ME.  My bride will not be in spotted material, nor grubby clothing.  She will come forth like gold from Ophir.  She is not going to be full of dirt and unbelief.  Doubt has no place in My Kingdom.  I am perfecting YOUR FAITH beloveds and removing all FEAR for those who are willing, even for some who have been unwilling, knowing the decision they would make in the end.

Come away with ME beloveds and do not believe the lies and taunts of the enemy that is trying to steal your HOPE.  DECLARE MY PROMISES and EXALT MY NAME in the heavenlies and watch MY GLORY FALL. As I AM LIFTED UP INSTEAD OF MAN, I WILL draw all men unto MYSELF.  WAVES of MERCY are coming, WAVES in the natural are coming to some shores, and WAVES of MY FIRE will break down every door of opposition.
It is MY mercy that I should judge, for my judgments are TRUE.  MY judgments alter the hearts and lives of people to tear down the idols in their hearts.

For IDOLATRY has filled the land instead of glory. One judgment did nothing to alter the lives of many,  many  still went on in their worldly ways, and continued in their lust and perversion. I will REMOVE all the complacency in this nation. I have heard the cries of the children alone and hurting. I have heard the cries of the homeless and wounded. I have heard the cries of My intercessors and I will do what is best for this nation of idolators. I WILL BLOW on MY GARDEN, and it’s spices will come forth. I am PRUNING. I AM BLOWING, and I am GROWING faith that is immovable and true. Those who choose the broad path will find it is treacherous and futile.

Death is not easy, but necessary to glory.  I did not call you to spend a life of EASE and COMFORT while others starve and are broken & abandoned.  My call is to bring LIFE where there is death, and LIGHT where there is darkness.  MY GLORY is transforming you, even when you think nothing is happening.  SPEND YOURSELVES ON ME, and YOU WILL SEE FRUIT that ripens in the VINE and that never dissipates as you continue in close abiding relationship with ME.  But if you choose the easy way, and resist My presence.  Then you surely will be on your own till you bend to ME, and cry out for ME.  There have been cool winds that have caused damage to crops.  The north winds are like that.  They are cold, and they test the fire in you.  It will test your faithfulness under pressure.

KNOW that I see all, and hear all, and will continue to BLOW till all the chaff is dealt with beloveds.  PRAY and CRY OUT !  Worship and DECLARE !  For I AM WITH YOU.  I AM IN YOU.  I AM YOUR EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD and  I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.
Glory will spill out into the highways and byways. I will be your rear guard as you give to ME your time, your life.  Guard your heart against the enemy of your soul.  KEEP in MY WORD.
MY WORD IS LIFE TO YOUR SOUL.  Do not allow it to be stolen.  BELIEVE and DECREE IT.  Anticipate CHANGES that will bring glory to MY NAME.  I am in the business of doing miracles and you will see more and more as My glory fills your hearts.”
