A Living Sacrifice by Gloria CopelandPosted on May 13th, 2009
Harvest time is here! This wave of glory is to
harvest the souls of this earth into the
kingdom of God.
We must exercise as much diligence toward
learning to walk in the spirit as we have used learning
to walk by faith. The glory of God will not be
manifested in a Church that is slothful and unspiritual.
If we are too busy serving our own desires to seek the
Lord and listen to His voice, this move of the Spirit
will simply pass us by. He wants to show us things to
come and how to walk in His glory! It’s time to walk
in the realm of the supernatural.
The role of the Holy Spirit is to manifest the
presence of Jesus in the Body of Christ. He is in us to
bring forth the image of Jesus. The things that hinder
Him are our carnal thinking and carnal ways. God
does not want us to be conformed to the world, but
to be transformed by renewing our minds to think
and act like Him. God is calling us to function in the
realm of the spirit.
The manifestation of God’s power in the Church
is directly related to the holiness in the Body. God
does not manifest Himself when His people are
disobedient and have sin in their lives. If we don’t lay
aside the things of the world and give our attention to
spiritual things, we will never be able to walk in the
glory that God wants to reveal in us. We must be
willing to change our attitudes and our priorities to
please the Father.
The Holy Spirit works inside us to bring our
consciousness, or awareness, into the realm of the
spirit. Satan works on the outside to keep us bound to
this world.
Second Timothy 2:21 says that if a man will purge
himself of iniquity, he will be a vessel of honor,
prepared for every good work. Notice who does the
purging. The man does it!
And what agreement hath the temple of
God with idols? for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in
them, and walk in them; and I will be their
God, and they shall be my people…. Having
therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let
us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in
the fear of God (2 Corinthians 6:16, 7:1).
