TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
Notice that today’s verse
doesn’t say that the glory of the Lord is going to come on you one day. It
doesn’t say, “Maybe when the economy gets better, when you graduate from
college, or when you get that good break.” No, it says God’s glory is already
on you!
The word “glory” in the
original language indicates that God’s favor, blessing and splendor is on you
in a heavy way. It’s something that is tangible and has weight. Think about
it this way: You are not less than, intimidated or weak; you are heavy with
God’s favor. You are dripping with God’s goodness. Your attitude should be,
“There’s no telling what’s in my future! I am weighted down, not with
burdens, not with problems. I am weighted down with the favor of God.”
When you really understand
that you are heavy with favor, then it’s easy to be heavy with expectation.
It’s easy to believe for big things when you know God has favored you in a
big way. It’s time for you to arise. It’s time for you to shine. Let that
sink down into your spirit today because it’s time for you to arise and shine
because His glory, His favor is heavy upon you!

Heavenly Father, I
come to You today with an open and humble heart. I know that Your glory is
upon me. I thank You for Your favor upon me, and I thank You for Your
anointing power which breaks every yoke and moves me into freedom and
blessing in Jesus’ name. Amen.
