Carriers of the Glory
We are to be a carriers of the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
You are a dwelling place for the supernatural.
We are to change the dynamics of every situation.
Ephesians 3:17-20
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-- 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Most Christians think the power is above and beyond.
Most people have no problem believing God can do anything.
They just have a problem believing God can do anything through them.
Because they don’t see themselves as carriers.
I want you to see yourself as a carrier.
His power is in waiting to be released through you.
When you speak the Word, His power will be released through you for signs and wonders.
The power is in you and will flow through you.
There is power in the encounter.
When you have the knowledge of God you know the potential of God.
You need to move from potential to purpose.
We have to move from need to purpose.
I need prayer.
I need healing.
I need a Word.
I need a financial breakthrough.
That mentality keeps the power out there beyond you.
We can shift things into the atmosphere of miraculous.
We are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Remember the anointing is felt and the glory is seen.
2 reasons to carry the Glory
1. We are to reveal God’s nature to the earth.
2. We are to reveal God’s heart to the people.
When you realize all the miracles Jesus preformed, he preformed as a man.
He was the Son of God but he laid aside his deity and became a man.
Philippians 2:5-8
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
Jesus came to give us a model that could be followed.
We are to be carriers.
He demonstrated what it is like to be a carrier and how to live under an open heaven.
We are to live under an open Heaven.
Matthew 3:11-17
11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.12 “His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. 16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
God wants us to be carriers.
Acts 5:14-16
14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
The Bible doesn’t say that Peter’s shadow healed people.
Peter was a carrier of the Glory.
The people knew if they could get close to the glory, the glory would heal their bodies.
Peter was the temple of the living God.
God wants to use us the same way.
There are no spiritually elite people.
God wants to use us in the same way He used Peter.
Romans 2:10-11
10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.
Galatians 2:6-8
6 But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man--for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter 8 (for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),
It’s the same Spirit.
Anyone born again can be a carrier.
We are to be a carriers of the glory of God.
