Hear what the Spirit has to say to the churches. Hear my voice, my resounding voice from the tops of the cedars to the earth below. Let my sound resound upon the earth and bring about my glory. My people are my glory carriers; they contain my glory and dispense it upon the earth. You are not to restrain it or keep it to yourself, it is a drink offering to be poured out for all who are thirsting for the presence of God. My glory is stored up in you, surrounding you, replenishing you. But you are my distributors of my glory and the earth is dying from thirst. The earth cries out, as well as my people, who’ve not received a drink in a long time. Refresh! Refresh them I say, with a long, tall, drink from my glory fountain. Refreshment will come as you drink from my fountain of life.
Don’t delay and don’t run away from the fountain that brings vitality to your life. I will renew your energy and cause you to soar like the eagles. I am the bringer of life and all who dwell in me, I will dwell within them.
Bring me your tired and your poor and I will pour into them. I will refresh their spirit, soul, body, and mind with the peace of mind that only comes from my refreshing. They will take my yoke upon them and feel the lightness of my presence. I will teach them how to be my glory carriers and distribute it as just the right time. Do not depart from me, but stay within my company. I will never leave you or depart from you so stay close by my side in constant community. You and I are one and the same and my glory within you will bring me much fame. The fame of my name will spread throughout all the earth as you share my glory with all you encounter. Remain in me as I remain in you, shining my glory all over the earth.
His glory lives within us, and it’s our responsibility to pour it out!
“But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.”
1 John 2:27 NLT
