CAPTURED IN GLORY

TOPIC: CAPTURED IN GLORY
SCRIPTURE: And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering - Luke 9:29
MEMORY VERSE: 1 John 5:14-15
DIGGING DEEP: Prayer is key to the glory realm. If it is difficult for you to pray, it will be difficult for you to access glory. This is because whenever we spend time in prayers, we are spending time with God and His glory rubs off upon us.
Prayer is not a gift, it is an act that can only be practiced by praying. Prayer is not merely an activity but a communion with God. Understand that no communion with God, no communication with Him. In effect nothing establishes us in strong communication with God like regular communion in the place of prayer. Prayer establishes us in Divine presence. And this is how we are captured in the glory realm. So when we become prayerful we can reflect the glory of God here on earth. Elijah was a man of prayer, he spoke into the atmosphere and stopped rain for three and half years. King Ahab sort for him everywhere on earth, they went from nation to nation looking for Elijah. When he finally met with the king, he told the king "before God whom i stand" (1st Kings 18:1-15). In other words he was saying that i have been here, you couldnt access me because i was in His presence. So when you constantly stand before God in prayers, standing before men will be inconsequential; when you constantly stand before God, men will seek after you, you don't seek after men. It is a well known fact that those who spend time with God, spend less time with men.
Our anchor Scripture says that "And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering" in effect, prayer changes people. What is the significance of this?
1) Prayer has capacity to change our appearance.
2) Prayer can change people's perception about you.
3) Prayer removes dullness from our appearance, so much so that we begin to shine.
4) When we are deep in prayer our garment is white which signifies holiness. The nature of God enters into us and removes stains from our lives and we glow for God.
Finally, when we pray, we are suddenly transported to a kind of heaven upon earth. Our spirit man is built up and we grow from being Spiritual lightweights to Spiritual heavyweights and that is how we become principalities everywhere we go to.
PRAYER: O Lord increase my prayer fire in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: Grinding at the prayer mill fills your whole body with prayer- Dr. Dabbas Joel
