THE HOPE OF GLORY

COLOSSIANS 1:27 (NASB) “to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

“Is THE HOPE OF MY GLORY something that will only be realized when you come to Heaven? If that were the case, why wouldn’t I take you to Heaven immediately after you were saved so that you could experience the fullness of My GLORY? The POWER of My Son’s PERFECT life, COSTLY sacrifice, and GLORIOUS resurrection caused the FULL WEIGHT OF MY GLORY to rest on Him. Jesus now dwells in you in the FULLNESS OF HIS GLORY and as you SURRENDER to the Holy Spirit’s TRANSFORMATION process, that GLORY is being made MANIFEST in you.”

11 CORINTHIANS 3:18 (NLT) “So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed (transformed) into His glorious image.”

“You all begin to SHINE for Me as you LIVE IN and GROW UP into the FULLNESS of Christ. The DEEPER OUR UNION and FELLOWSHIP, the MORE My GLORY will SHINE through you. This GLORY is a BEACON of HOPE in the world as people see the POWER OF A TRANSFORMED LIFE. My GLORY speaks HOPE, FREEDOM, and PURITY. It is the righteousness that exalts a nation when lives aren’t lived by following OUTWARD RULES but by the INWARD TRANSFORMATION of CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY. My GLORY is PROGRESSIVELY REVEALED from your life as you INVEST in our relationship—spending TIME with Me, ACKNOWLEDGING Me throughout your day, STUDYING My written Word, CELEBRATING communion, and LEARNING to hear My voice. The more you invest in our relationship, the GREATER will be the RICHES OF GLORY DISPLAYED in your life. CHRIST IN YOU IS THE HOPE OF GLORY.”
