10 DAYS OF MANIFESTED GLORY

I had to share this with you. As long as I live I don't believe that there will ever be anything as precious to me as experiencing the manifested presence of God. And I've been doing that today. This record is a testimony of the kind of day I've had in His presence. I feel like Moses standing on the mountain watching God write the Torah.

Starting Sunday August 5, 2012 a teleconference revival has been taking place on Facebook. This virtual move of God is being hosted by Apostles Kevin and Candace Ford of Chicago Illinois. I have done more writing on this couple this year than anyone outside of my own family, but in my spirit I feel as if they are my brother and sister. They are a unique apostolic couple, unlike any I've ever witnessed. Their spirits and manner of ministry reminds me of Aquila and Priscilla, and like this apostolic couple in the Book of Acts the Fords are a dynamic duo in business and religion. The world will one day know of the Fords and I'm praising God that He let me introduce them to you through Bernard's Word.

This telerevival is called 10 DAYS OF MANIFESTED GLORY and it is a time of Preaching, teaching, prophesying and intercession. The participants are being encouraged to fast each day until 6:00 p.m each evening. The Call begins at 8:00 p.m. EST.  I've been on the Call and in the presence of the Lord all three days but what I wanted you to know was what happened to me today as a result of last nights Call.

Yesterday I was extremely tired and unable to focus on what I needed to do for the day. As result of my tiredness and a nagging sinus headache I was unable to perform. By night I was ready to write Monday off as a lost day and go to bed. I knew that the Call was going on but I wasn't planning on attending. I was sitting in front of the television waiting for the clock to strike nine so that I could go to bed. At about ten minutes before eight my spirit started pulling me toward 10 Days of Manifested Glory. I dragged myself to the land line and marched myself to the desktop. I called in and waited.

Pastor Marnisha Thomas of Chicago started to minister and immediately my spirit quicken under the flow of God's Word out of this woman's mouth. By the time Prophet Pernell Robinson released a prophetic word my spirit was leaping. More prophetic words and decrees came forth from Apostle Candace and Prophetess Samonia Whisonant of Baltimore Maryland. By the time I went to bed I was walking under the glory cloud.

This morning when I rose from bed I was still in the glory. I declared that today I would press toward my goals. Immediately I began to write a chapter in a book that will be finished this week, I decree it to be so. In a couple of hours I had written a chapter and started on the next chapter. I then turned to my homework. I was planning to complete an assignment on yesterday to be on schedule but I didn't do any work yesterday. By the time of the Prayer Call, 8:00 p.m. EST I was almost complete with the second assignment as I listened to Prophetess Joyce Jones preach and teach on Abiding (With all these folks from Chicago land ministering I hope somebody told President Obama to attend; he needs this!) I completed my second assignment.

This is how the Glory is manifesting in me. I did two days work in one day! When you walk in the glory it accelerates your movements. That's Manifested Glory!

One of my favorites passages on the Glory is Isaiah 60.In verse 7 God says, "I will glorify the house of my glory."
When God said I will glorify God is saying that He will declare, He will speak plainly.

The house that God refers to a dwelling place. it also refers to the Temple where God's Spirit dwells.

God's glory is His rank and honor, it also refers to the weight of God.

This verse is what I've been experiencing today. Through His mouthpieces God has been declaring His honor and weight in me who is His house where His glory lives.. The glory of God always starts with the spoken word of God.  

I'm inviting you to 10 Days of Manifested Glory, there is still seven days left and I promise you that one thing will happen to you, and this is my witness, because you are the house of God, if you are trusting  Jesus as your Savior and have accepted Him as your Savior and Lord, God will glorify you and His glory will descend over you, your house, your family, your business, and whatever concerns you.

If you don't believe that Jesus died because He loves you and desires to have a relationship with you based on his love I invite you to this call and I promise you that if you say yes to God drawing you He will come in you and make you His house where He will glorify the glory that He will set in you. God has enough glory for all of us.

KINGDOM THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE ON FACEBOOK

I'm always blessed when I read about God kingdom connections that are being made on Face book. Some of the most fruitful kingdom connections that I have made in the last two years have been made on face book. I want to share with you one of those kingdom connections.

It was a Tuesday night in April and I was coming home after teaching at the New Mine Creek Church. On that particular night there was an urgency in spirit to get home get in on a conference call that was being sponsored by the Financial Breakthrough Network, headed by Samonia Whisonant. Teaching on the conference call was Apostle Kevin Ford. His presentation was electric. It really ministered to my spirit and released a fresh rhema word to increase my faith in the area of finances.

Apostle Ford leads a prayer Call on Monday nights for men through his network called Global Men Prayer Network. I've attended every prayer Call but one, since I heard Apostle Ford that Tuesday night in April. Although it's a prayer Call it's more than a prayer Call. It is a time for men to get together and encourage each other. It's a time for men to receive the wisdom of Apostle Ford as he teaches the meditations that the Holy Spirit places on his heart. It's a time for men to connect on the phone from different  places throughout the United States.

A brotherhood is being built through weekly Monday night Call. An international brotherhood is being birthed. Men with the heart of David are connecting across denominational lines, and doctrinal lines and racial lines. We are being unified in the Spirit and I haven't seen this kind of concerted effort reaching out to men since Promise Keepers in the 1990's.

Brother I challenge you to find your way to this gathering tonight. The Prayer Call starts at 9:00 p.m. EST. The call in number is 1-218-895-0196. The access code is 6367729#. This is a safe place and a refuge from the isolation that men sometime find themselves in. I can guarantee you that you will not regret being here. The link for Global Men Prayer Network is http://www.facebook.com/groups/gmpnetwork                

WHEN MEN PRAY

1 Timothy 2:8 "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting."

All of heaven listens when a man pauses to pray. The creation bears witness to this incredible sight as it remembers the first man Adam and his unquenchable thirst for the presence of Elohim. What a sight it was to behold this first human, created in the image of God walking through the Garden in intimate conversation with His maker. The first man shared with his heavenly Father the awesome opportunities that had been given him as the steward over the earth that God had made for him.

In my imagination I perceive that the prayers of the first man was devoid of religion and pretense. It was man communing with God. It was God walking with man. It was relationship. It was love.

When Adam lost it all I believe that the thing that he missed the most was the place of intimacy with God. Hearing the sound of God walking in the Garden. God walking toward him, God walking with Him. God hearing him and He hearing God.

What the First Adam lost the Last Adam restored. The Last Adam, Yeshua restored this privilege of communing with the Father in prayer. The Father that we were cut off from we now can enter into His presence once again. The Father whose Voice we couldn't recognize is now very familiar to us. Now because of this restoration of relationship we can return to the Garden that we lost and we can resume the relationship that was severed.

Brothers we have our place back. We're back in the Garden and the Father is there with us hearing us when we pray and responding to us as He said that He would.

Paul said in 1 Cor 11:7 that man is the glory of God. I believe that the glory on a man is best seen in his prayer life.

I saw this manifestation of glory last night when I joined Apostle Kevin Ford and the men of the Global Men Prayer Network. It was edifying to me and glorifying to God for these men to take dominion over the phone lines and lift their voices in concerted prayer. Apostle Ford taught on the identity of a man and we prayed that God would restore the understanding in men to know and walk in their identity in Christ.

This network is only a few weeks old but I see God using it to release a new season in the Body of Christ. I call every man who seeks a genuine place of fellowship with brothers to become a member of this Network. http://www.facebook.com/groups/gmpnetwork  Join today.
