SID: Excuse me.
DAVID: Yeah.
SID: I hear that term all the time. You hear it? What does that really mean?
DAVID: Sometimes we get in prayer and we get rushed. We okay, “Well, I’m going to pray this, this, this, this, amen. I prayed everything. I’m going to work.” Well, no, I’ll worship him. I’ll praise him. I’ll pray everything. And then I wait, I just wait in the presence. I’ll put music in the background and I’ll just wait on him. And at some point the presence of God’s glory will start intensifying. And then he comes. And the waiting is the hardest for the Western culture because we’ve got our I-phones, we’ve got our busy-ness, we’ve got our schedule. And the first hour it’s like, your flesh has to die. The first, second hour, you’re like, “Okay, I prayed. I got to go, Lord.”
DAVID: And here’s how you know you hit the realm. At first, you make excuses to why you need to go. “Hey, I prayed Lord. I got to go to work. I got things to do.” As you’re about to leave, suddenly the glory comes stronger. “Oh wow. This is what I’m waiting for.” Now you’re making excuses to stay. “Well, I could send someone else to do that. I could do that later. I don’t have to go to Whole Foods right now. I can go in three hours.” And you don’t want to leave. That’s when you know you’ve gotten in there.
SID: Another key to the glory is walking in biblical holiness. Why is that so important?
DAVID: Because holiness opens up the realm, “If My people called by My name, humble themselves, pray, repent.” But it’s like daily you have to. I try to take communion every day because when the Lord sees the blood in the body, it opens up heaven and it sanctifies your body, your mind, your spirit. Because the world is so intense right now, the media, the temptations, being pulled politically, socially, emotionally, that we have to stay under the blood. So I’d say daily, just repent of anything you can think of. Wash yourself with the blood.
DAVID: In the summer, most people take a shower every day. I hope. But the same in the glory, you want daily to be covered in the blood and be clean, because when you’re not, what happens is like a vase. You go to a meeting, “Oh, the glory is great.” You get home. “How come I don’t feel that anymore?” Because there’s leaks in the vase. And that’s the holiness and anger issues and other issues. We fill those holes, now we can not just feel the glory, we can hold it. We can contain it. And it doesn’t leak out.
SID: But you know, David, because the glory is growing so close to earth, I’m reminded of Moses. He warned our Jewish people and he said, “Don’t touch the mountain. When the holiness… when God himself is there. You have to prepare for three days. You have to have clean clothes. You have to be ready to encounter the living God, because if you are in hidden sin,” not hidden to God, but hidden to other people, “you can’t hide from God.” And when his glory comes, it will be the best day of your life or you will be in the worst situation of your life because God has so much love, David. I believe we’re in a season now where the conviction of sin is hitting all Christians and those that choose to harden, when the glory comes, they won’t be able to take it.
DAVID: God’s preparing America and the world for his glory. So he’s shaking up first, exposing, cleansing the land and then the glory is coming. So actually when you see these things happening, it can look bad. “Oh my gosh, it’s so bad.” But actually it’s a good thing. God’s preparing the way, cleaning the land so he can bring the glory.
SID: Boy, I just feel the presence—
DAVID: It’s strong, yeah.
SID: … coming so strong. When we come back, I’m going to have David release the impartation that he received from Ruth Heflin. Be right back.
