The Weight of God's Glory and Power

The Weight of God’s Glory and Power
For a man to walk in My power and authority he must yield under My hand and surrender all. Therefore I test a man to see whether he can carry the weight of glory (2 Cor 4:17). It is not something he can offer Me, such as self-denial, which is will-worship (Col 2:23). It is a condition of the man’s heart which can only be brought out through trials.

Yielding the will to Me is only the beginning of the relationship of the heart. Making a commitment and maintaining that commitment cements the relationship into the heart of Man. Trials do not come to test the will of Man, but his commitment to that which he believes in.

The maintenance of commitment comes in the fine points of the day, examining the attitudes of the heart by the Spirit of the Word. What a man will allow or disallow will prepare him for the day of trial. If he has put his confidence in pride then he will look to find his strength in himself. But if he has seen himself as weak apart from Me, he will find grace and strength in his trial.

Now I am a faithful lover Who pursues a pan’s heart. I am looking for a love letter there, lines written with the fiery pen of dedication. However I am also a kind Father who longs over the preparation of the Bride for His Son, bringing forth her best and continually working with her weaknesses. I do not despise weaknesses, but woo the heart unto Myself.

Know this, that if there is a maintenance of the heart required of Man, I am not less in all that I do to maintain our relationship. If a man will find it in his heart to listen to My wooing I will teach him My ways of commitment to our relationship. But he will succeed only in so far as he employs My ways with his fellow Man. For easy is the way set apart to Me. A man’s heart’s attitudes remain unchallenged to the man who trusts that his lover will love him anyway. But to live this life maintaining commitments to his fellow man is to place oneself before a mirror. In time one will either groom himself for the sake of others, or he will forsake his image, detesting the work of maintaining his heart.

One who maintains his heart’s attitudes will be able to bear more and more of the weight of glory. I will entrust to him more and more of My power and authority because his heart is one in which I can trust, for he will do Me no harm (Prov 31:11-12). Amen.
