In the second episode of "Apostolic Perspectives," titled "Accessing The Glory," host Mike Brewer dives deep into the transformative power of worship and intercession in the spiritual realm. This episode brings out three key points that are vital for understanding how believers can access the glory realm and experience true transformation:
1. Spirit-Led Preaching and Ministry: Brewer shares a poignant story about a pastor in Haiti who admits his struggles in preaching effectively despite his extensive education in the United States. Brewer emphasizes that true ministry and messages must be born of the spirit, not the flesh. He calls for humility and submission to the Spirit of God, highlighting that intellectual prowess alone cannot capture the essence of the Gospel.
2. Intercession and Victory: The episode underscores the crucial role of intercession in accessing the glory realm, drawing from the testimonial example of Reese Howells during World War II. Brewer explains that intercession in the spiritual realm precedes physical intervention and brings about victory. True intercession, aligned with Christ and the Holy Spirit, can lead to miracles, signs, wonders, and supernatural manifestations.
3. Transformation Through Worship: Brewer discusses the importance of worship that comes from a place of spirit and truth. He cites Psalms 42 and encourages listeners to seek a deep connection with God, allowing their worship to transform their identities and align them with the ways of God. He stresses that accessing the glory realm leads to tangible, unshakeable faith and ongoing spiritual renewal.

(00:24):
Hello and welcome. Welcome back to accessing the
glory realm part two. Does that term or phrase
accessing the glory realms that just not give you the charismatic
goosebumps? No, I'm just kidding. Accessing the glory
realm is actually a pathway of death
that should just shock you with some reality right there.
(00:46):
You do not get to bring the ways of the
flesh into the glory realm of God.
There is a dying to self and there's a
living unto the Lord, but it actually comes.
God actually comes to you first and grips
you. It's not that you try to
(01:08):
die, it is at his gripping
you. Surrender the ways of the flesh, the
fleshly ways die out and he
brings you in to the glory realm.
He brings you in to his manifest
presence. And in his manifest presence, what we're
(01:29):
calling that glory realm with God is where
you learn to live to the world.
They'll look at you and see you as dying,
but you're actually living. You have
died to self that you may live
unto him. And your testimony is like that of
(01:52):
Paul. It's no longer I that live,
but it's Christ that lives within me.
I just shared on the last part one, accessing the
glory realm concerning the Bible college of Wells and
Reese and Samuel Howells and the men and women
of God gave their lives over to
(02:14):
the intercessions of the Christ. And on the wall of the prayer.
Room, it's called the blue room, it says the statement,
you must understand, the Lord's servant
was possessed by God. What
a testimony to be written concerning a
man that lived, that he
(02:37):
was, was possessed by God. That's our
testimony. When we talk about being filled by. The spirit of God, it's not
just. A touch or an
encounter that we. Have, but the spirit comes
and remains. The spirit of God
comes and remains and you become the temple
(02:59):
of God himself. God dwells within you,
Christ in you. But as
he dwells within you, you learn to fully
yield yourself over that. When people
see you, they do not just see you, but
they see one that is possessed by God.
(03:22):
When you stand in front of demon spirits,
they don't see you. They see one possessed of the
spirit of God. They recognize
who he is in you.
That's what this means. By being possessed of God,
(03:43):
accessing the. Glory realm, and obviously last, the
last. Podcast I was talking about giving yourselves over
to intercession, the intercessions of the
Christ. But I'm just going to read this before I go
further with you.
Samuel Howells, the son of Rhys Howells, would
(04:05):
walk into his father's room during. The second world war,
world War, when. His father was praying and interceding.
And his statement that's pinned on the
wall in the prayer room, it says that Samuel Howells
would quietly slip into the room and he
would see his father physically exhausted, looking
(04:28):
as pale as death, soaked in
sweat, because of the agony he was
experiencing as he carried the
intercessions. Such was the cost of the
intercessions for Reese Howells. It cost him everything.
It took a toll on his life. But when his son
(04:50):
would ask him, was it, is it worth it to carry
such a heavy burden? Reese Howells would respond to his
son saying, I'm perfectly fine and could
not be better. You see, you don't
work that up in the flesh. You don't live
in the glory realm of God. By your flesh, your flesh
(05:12):
dies. And that's what Samuel Howells had
to be seeing when he would see his father in
these times of great intercession and prayer.
He was interceding for the world war.
He was interceding for the lives of
men and women and the jewish nation and the jewish
(05:35):
people. He was interceding
that Hitler, this dictator, this murderous
tyrant, would be stopped. And
it wasn't just as if he was saying, well, I'll pray
about it. He was literally giving
himself over that. The will of God may
(05:57):
be manifested here in the earth realm.
He was giving himself over. What does
this mean for you and I?
How do we give ourselves over to
these things that God wants to accomplish in the
earth? There is a responsibility that
(06:20):
the body of Christ, the church, you
must receive from heaven. When
you look outside of your home, when you look
down the street, when you look at your city, when you
look at the people that you have influence
with, there is a responsibility
(06:43):
that you must receive.
No, you're not responsible for their sins, but you may be responsible for the
revelation. There is a
responsibility that comes with
intercession. You see,
Reese Howells wasn't just saying, well, someone else will
(07:05):
pick up my shortcomings. He
had to be giving himselves over to the will
of God. And he must have received a
responsibility from heaven that says, if
I don't, who will? We must get
rid of this arrogant mindset.
(07:27):
That excuses our
lack of responsibility. That says, well, I'll just say no, and
God will choose somebody else. The scripture even declares that
the eyes of the Lord to and fro across
the earth looking for someone who will stand in
the gap. But the scripture says, but I found none.
(07:50):
I found no one.
There is a responsibility, hear me, brothers and sisters, there is a
responsibility that you must
receive from God, that you serve the will of
God in your generation, that you serve your,
you serve God by serving in your geographical area, that
(08:12):
God has placed you. You serve him in the sphere of
assignment that he has given to you. And it is
not to build up a grand ministry, it is to give
yourself over, that people can declare,
this one has become possessed of God. And it is no longer
they who live, but Christ that lives within them.
(08:35):
Accessing the glory realm. There is
an identification that we must begin to
align with. As Christ aligns
as the great intercessor, we align with him, we align
with his intercessions, and we allow
him and the Holy Spirit to intercede through
(08:58):
us with deep groanings, with deep intercessions,
that you feel these things with every fiber of your
being. I'm calling you by the spirit of God
to a deeper place that is more than just prayer
as you have been taught. But there is that
intercession, that standing in that place
(09:21):
saying, I will be one that stands by the
power of God, that gives myself
to intercede, that the will of heaven may be released in
the earth realm, accessing the glory realm.
That is when the manifest presence of God comes
upon you and is released through you and within
(09:43):
you through this place. There'll be miracles, there'll be
signs, there'll be wonders, extraordinary acts of
God that defy the natural laws of the
world, healings and prophetic revelations,
supernatural events. Acts 222. It
says, fellow Israelites, listen, Jesus of Nazareth,
(10:04):
a man accredited by God to you, by
miracles, wonders and signs which God did among you
through him. When you access that
miracle realm, you become one that releases
heaven into earth. Through Christ with
you, you become that gateway,
(10:28):
you, the faith that God has put in you, you
tap into that great glory realm
and it just comes through you and begins to
manifest here in the earth.
From this place is where true worship
actually is released from.
(10:50):
We worship God in spirit and in
truth. Truth is that revelation of Christ and in
spirit literally means that realm of the
spirit. Do you know that you can absolutely
worship in your flesh and never touch
the ways of the spirit of God? You can sing songs, you
(11:11):
can literally read scripture while
remaining absolutely in the flesh with no spiritual mind that
does about you. You see that
in the context of worship, the glory realm is seen
as a realm. It is a space that believers
enter into. It is a deep, intimate,
(11:34):
but often corporate place.
And when we tap into that, there is this interaction
between the glory realm, the heavenly realm, that realm of
the spirit and the natural. There is this divine
exchange between heaven and earth.
It's often spoke about as Jacob's ladders, the angels of God
(11:56):
descending and ascending. It is a transference
between realms. John 423 and 24 it
says, yet a time is coming and now has come when
the true worshipers will worship the father in spirit
and in truth, for they're the kind of worshipers the father
seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers
(12:18):
must worship him in spirit and in
truth. These are things that you do
not figure out in your natural mind. Your natural
mind is like a, like a bucking bronco. It's like a,
it's like a horse that's been untamed, that when you get
up on it, your mind wants to do what it wants to do. It does
(12:41):
not want to be broken. But your mind must
be broken by the ways of the spirit. It must be
broken by the spirit of God and the word of God, that it does
not get to do everything that it wants to do, but it
must come into alignment with the wheel and the
ways of the Christ.
(13:02):
You see, when you enter in to this realm, when you're being
beckoned by the spirit of God that says, come, come
deeper, come deeper, come deeper. It brings
a transformation of who you are.
It aligns you with your true identity.
You are changed. You are purified. This is
(13:25):
where the holy fire of God begins to come upon
you, and it rests upon the righteousness, but it begins to burn
out the unrighteousness. The fire of God
begins to consume you, and the Holy Spirit
begins to transform you and begins to renew you and
align you with who you really are. In two
(13:48):
corinthians 318, it talks about
who, with an unveiled face, beholds
the glory of the Lord. This is that place where
you behold him. You see him when
your eyes are laid upon the Lord of majesty, when your eyes look
into him, whose eyes burn like a flame of fire, they
(14:11):
begin to pierce your very soul. His eyes begin to transform
you. It is when you behold him that you are being
transformed, transformed into his image. With ever increasing
glory. From glory to glory. There is an
accessing of this glory realm. There is
a gripping of God that begins to call you deeper
(14:33):
and deeper, it begins to call you out of a
babylonian system of religion. It begins to call
you out of a fleshly system of religion. It begins
to call you out of this little, little
gathering once a week that we call church. It calls you
out of those things, and it calls you unto a holy,
(14:54):
sanctified, set apart life that walks with the
spirit of God. When people see you, they say, that is one that walks
with him, that is one that knows him, that is one that when they
speak, I'm captivated. That is one that when they speak, there's
something that begins to transform around them. There is a
release of the glory of the Lord when you begin to
(15:16):
speak about him, when you walk with him at this level,
the glory realm transforms you, and it
begins to transform those that are around you.
When God brings you into this place, there's a
great, deep love that
(15:38):
begins to captivate you. You begin to
look around at the lives of others, you begin to look around at the
circumstances around you, and you realize that you
just can't change them, but you must
give yourself an intercession over them, that the will of
God begins to grip them. You see, the
(16:01):
deeper I go into this realm with God, the more
I realize that I can't change
people. Yeah, we say that. I understand it, but yet we continue
to do the same thing we've always done, that a better teaching will help them,
that this will help them, that that'll help them. But I realize
now, the deeper I go in, they
(16:23):
are transformed by those
intercessions, that those intercessions go
before you, and you gain a place of gained
intercessions of victory. Before you ever arrive
on the scene, God's already shown you a victory
that has occurred in the spirit. Therefore, when you arrive there, you
(16:44):
are one that delivers the message of victory, because it's already been
won in the spirit realm. But sometimes we try to get to
these places and we try to fix things in the natural
using spiritual words. And guys, that will not work.
Those words must touch you. The life of the glory realm
and the spirit of God must touch you long before you
(17:06):
arrive. To, quote, fix the situation,
James four eight says, come near to God and he will
come near to you. Lean into
him, give your life over to him.
Understand that you can't walk this walk
(17:27):
in the flesh. By your own strength, by your own will,
come near to God right now, in this moment. Come near
to him, and he will come near to
you. As you pursue him, he overtakes
you. That verse goes on and says, wash your
hands, sinners, and purify your
(17:49):
hearts. You double minded.
I am utterly convinced that
many of us try to solve
problems by our own thoughts,
by our own wisdom. We just
cloak it in scripture. We cover
(18:13):
it with spiritual
covering. It's like we clothe it in spirituality,
but at its core, it's simply us trying to
fix something. We've not gained that place in
intercession first. Oh, God has just been
transforming me on the inside
(18:34):
over this past week of learning intercession
more and not learning about it through a teaching we didn't
have. Times of teaching at the Bible College of Wells,
we listened to an intercessor talk about his
life. Doctor Sam Matthews and Kathy.
As I heard those words, they were penetrating my very
(18:57):
being on the inside. I realized that I was being
invited into something that's deeper than I've ever
known. And there was a leaping in my spirit that says,
you're destined for this. And then there was a
resistance in my mind, thinking about the
price that must be paid.
(19:18):
But as I stopped looking with the eyes of flesh,
I said, jesus, let me behold you as the
intercessor. As my eyes began to behold the Christ,
there was this coming together, and I can't even begin to explain it, but
even as I talk about it, there's this coming together with
him. There is this aligning of beings with him.
(19:42):
And the scripture talks about being one with him.
What does that look like to be one with him?
That's the invitation that is to you, that is to me.
Right now, as we enter into this realm, we
understand what second Corinthians 517 begins to talk
about, that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
(20:04):
creation. The old is gone and the new is here. You and I look at
that and think that is past tense at the moment of our salvation. And
it is, in a sense, but there is this deeper
coming in Christ. There is a walk
of coming into him, deeper and deeper and
deeper. And at that moment we realize there is a
(20:26):
continual new creation that is happening within us. There is
this transformation from glory to glory,
from glory to glory. There is a dying and a
living and a dying and a living. And these things begin to cycle
within us and they begin to transform us.
It is in this place to where
(20:49):
faith becomes substance. Hebrews
eleven one. Now, faith is
substance. Faith
is substance. It's not this
abstract thought of believing,
but when we are brought into this glory realm, faith
(21:11):
is tangible. It is
tangible. And when there's been a gaining of a
new level of faith, you realize it is
substance. It cannot be moved. It cannot be
shaken.
Faith is substance. You can't teach
(21:32):
that. That is something that is experienced.
As you access the glory realm, as you shift into
that realm of the spirit and you become further
aligned with the Christ, the son
of God. The places that I'm
speaking about right now, this is the place
(21:54):
that all ministry, all service must come
from. You speak
of being called apostle and prophet and evangelist and pastor and
teacher, but yet
how much of that
is trying to look at the word and trying to create a message
(22:16):
that you can inspire people with? But it is
born from the intellect, not the spirit.
Let God grip you over this moment right now. Let him get a hold of
you right now. You know what I'm talking about. Many of
you that are listening, you are turning to the word of God to get a
message that might inspire people and make them think you know what
(22:38):
you're talking about. That is not the source. That must, the
message, messages, the equipping, must come out of this realm
of Christ, the glory realm of God.
It cannot be born in your natural mind.
It must be born of the spirit,
or it will not carry the eternality of the spirit of
(23:02):
God. I had
a gentleman one time come to Haiti
with me, and he pastored what appeared to be a successful
church. Been there quite some time.
As I got him on the backside of a mountain,
(23:23):
he asked to speak to me privately, and he came and he said,
mike, I don't know how to preach to these people.
And I was utterly shocked.
I was shocked to my very core
that here is a man with high
(23:45):
level education, years and years of
training in the scripture, years and
years of leading a local
assembly, and he is brought
to nothing going. I do not know
how to speak to these people. I looked at him
(24:06):
with literal brokenness, and out of my
shock, I said, what have you
been doing? I said, if the
word that you are preaching in the United States will not preach
here on the backside of this mountain, you are not
proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom. You are not
(24:28):
proclaiming the gospel of King Jesus. If it won't
speak here, if it. I was shocked. Guys, please
understand what I'm saying.
Yes, there is a contextualized message that is delivered,
but the message is unchanging.
He said, I don't know how to speak to them.
(24:50):
And I'm like, the words that you've been speaking
had to been a born of the flesh and not of the
spirit, because the words of the spirit are life.
They are eternal. They are the revelation of who who
the Christ is. And no matter where you are in the world,
from Asia to South America to Europe,
(25:12):
the words of the Christ and the word of God, it is
unchanging, and it will transform the people.
Acts one eight. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
on you. And you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, to the ends of the earth that
is born by the power of the spirit of God. It is not
(25:36):
born out of the intellect of the mind.
Let God draw you. Let him draw you
deeper into this place right now, even as I'm speaking to you. Let
there be a wailing up and a groaning start to enter
inside of you, that you come out of the ways and the works of
the flesh, and you enter into the ways of the spirit. You enter
(25:58):
into that eternality of the spirit of God
and let him begin to empower you. Let the revelation
of who he is bring forth your words, teachings,
your groans. That mind will touch mind, but
spirit will touch spirit. And so much I
watch words coming out of people, and they're
(26:21):
going from mind to mind, and they are empowering.
A puffed up, arrogant people. We must be
a lowly people, a humble people that surrender
ourselves and humbly submit ourselves to the spirit of
God. And we become dependent upon him,
knowing our words will come out of our mouth and they will fall to the
(26:44):
ground, useless unless they are born and bathed by the
spirit of God. And then, and only then, will they bring life
to those that hear.
It is from this place,
living in this glory realm of God,
(27:04):
living in that place of the spirit, where
your fleshly ways die out.
They burn out.
They burn out. One corinthians
nine, chapter two, verses nine and
ten says, as it is written
(27:25):
what no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and no human
mind has conceived the things that God has
prepared for those that love him. Most people stop there.
They say, we can't know. Oh, we talk about no
eyes seen, no ears heard, nor is the mind conceived,
the things that God has prepared for those that love him.
(27:49):
But we stop. The verse goes on, it
says, but these things God has revealed
to us by his spirit. Yes,
the spirit of God searches all things, things of
God. You cannot stop with not knowing. You
were invited into a realm of revelation, the glory
(28:11):
realm of God, where spirit and truth are together
united as one. It is in that place that you can
know. You can know the will of God for your life. You can
know the will of God for your region. You can know the will of God
for your business for your ministry, whatever it is. But you
can't figure it out in the ways of the flesh or of the fleshly
(28:33):
mind. You've got to enter into the realm of the spirit of God. That is
where you dwell with him, in that place of eternality.
I'm finishing this up, but you've got to hear me. John
17, verse 22 I have given them the
glory that you gave me, that
(28:56):
they may be one, as we are one,
I in them, you in
me, so that they may be brought to complete
unity. Then the world will know that you have
sent me, and I have loved them, even as you
have loved me. The great mystery
(29:18):
of being unified with the Christ, the son of
God, becoming one with him and one with the father.
What does that even mean? Oh, most people,
they'll vaguely touch on these things. But listen, dear
friend, there is a unity that
comes in the spirit, with the son, with the father, with the
(29:40):
spirit, that we can become one
as they are one. We can enter into that place by the
spirit where you can know the will of God,
you can know him. Know
him, dear ones, know him. You
feel him. You feel his heart, you feel his
(30:02):
emotions. You know the mind of the Lord.
He releases those things to you. He calls you
friend. So, Father, I
pray for my friends right now, God, that you will
draw them deep, deep, deep unto yourself.
You'll draw them deep, deep, deep, God, to
(30:24):
where they thirst for you, they thirst
for you, they long for you. Psalm
42 the deer pants for the streams of water, so my
soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God.
Thirst for him, long for him,
(30:46):
and he will give you the living water
that you will never thirst again.
Lean into him.

(00:24):
Hello and welcome. Welcome back to accessing the
glory realm part two. Does that term or phrase
accessing the glory realms that just not give you the charismatic
goosebumps? No, I'm just kidding. Accessing the glory
realm is actually a pathway of death
that should just shock you with some reality right there.
(00:46):
You do not get to bring the ways of the
flesh into the glory realm of God.
There is a dying to self and there's a
living unto the Lord, but it actually comes.
God actually comes to you first and grips
you. It's not that you try to
(01:08):
die, it is at his gripping
you. Surrender the ways of the flesh, the
fleshly ways die out and he
brings you in to the glory realm.
He brings you in to his manifest
presence. And in his manifest presence, what we're
(01:29):
calling that glory realm with God is where
you learn to live to the world.
They'll look at you and see you as dying,
but you're actually living. You have
died to self that you may live
unto him. And your testimony is like that of
(01:52):
Paul. It's no longer I that live,
but it's Christ that lives within me.
I just shared on the last part one, accessing the
glory realm concerning the Bible college of Wells and
Reese and Samuel Howells and the men and women
of God gave their lives over to
(02:14):
the intercessions of the Christ. And on the wall of the prayer.
Room, it's called the blue room, it says the statement,
you must understand, the Lord's servant
was possessed by God. What
a testimony to be written concerning a
man that lived, that he
(02:37):
was, was possessed by God. That's our
testimony. When we talk about being filled by. The spirit of God, it's not
just. A touch or an
encounter that we. Have, but the spirit comes
and remains. The spirit of God
comes and remains and you become the temple
(02:59):
of God himself. God dwells within you,
Christ in you. But as
he dwells within you, you learn to fully
yield yourself over that. When people
see you, they do not just see you, but
they see one that is possessed by God.
(03:22):
When you stand in front of demon spirits,
they don't see you. They see one possessed of the
spirit of God. They recognize
who he is in you.
That's what this means. By being possessed of God,
(03:43):
accessing the. Glory realm, and obviously last, the
last. Podcast I was talking about giving yourselves over
to intercession, the intercessions of the
Christ. But I'm just going to read this before I go
further with you.
Samuel Howells, the son of Rhys Howells, would
(04:05):
walk into his father's room during. The second world war,
world War, when. His father was praying and interceding.
And his statement that's pinned on the
wall in the prayer room, it says that Samuel Howells
would quietly slip into the room and he
would see his father physically exhausted, looking
(04:28):
as pale as death, soaked in
sweat, because of the agony he was
experiencing as he carried the
intercessions. Such was the cost of the
intercessions for Reese Howells. It cost him everything.
It took a toll on his life. But when his son
(04:50):
would ask him, was it, is it worth it to carry
such a heavy burden? Reese Howells would respond to his
son saying, I'm perfectly fine and could
not be better. You see, you don't
work that up in the flesh. You don't live
in the glory realm of God. By your flesh, your flesh
(05:12):
dies. And that's what Samuel Howells had
to be seeing when he would see his father in
these times of great intercession and prayer.
He was interceding for the world war.
He was interceding for the lives of
men and women and the jewish nation and the jewish
(05:35):
people. He was interceding
that Hitler, this dictator, this murderous
tyrant, would be stopped. And
it wasn't just as if he was saying, well, I'll pray
about it. He was literally giving
himself over that. The will of God may
(05:57):
be manifested here in the earth realm.
He was giving himself over. What does
this mean for you and I?
How do we give ourselves over to
these things that God wants to accomplish in the
earth? There is a responsibility that
(06:20):
the body of Christ, the church, you
must receive from heaven. When
you look outside of your home, when you look
down the street, when you look at your city, when you
look at the people that you have influence
with, there is a responsibility
(06:43):
that you must receive.
No, you're not responsible for their sins, but you may be responsible for the
revelation. There is a
responsibility that comes with
intercession. You see,
Reese Howells wasn't just saying, well, someone else will
(07:05):
pick up my shortcomings. He
had to be giving himselves over to the will
of God. And he must have received a
responsibility from heaven that says, if
I don't, who will? We must get
rid of this arrogant mindset.
(07:27):
That excuses our
lack of responsibility. That says, well, I'll just say no, and
God will choose somebody else. The scripture even declares that
the eyes of the Lord to and fro across
the earth looking for someone who will stand in
the gap. But the scripture says, but I found none.
(07:50):
I found no one.
There is a responsibility, hear me, brothers and sisters, there is a
responsibility that you must
receive from God, that you serve the will of
God in your generation, that you serve your,
you serve God by serving in your geographical area, that
(08:12):
God has placed you. You serve him in the sphere of
assignment that he has given to you. And it is
not to build up a grand ministry, it is to give
yourself over, that people can declare,
this one has become possessed of God. And it is no longer
they who live, but Christ that lives within them.
(08:35):
Accessing the glory realm. There is
an identification that we must begin to
align with. As Christ aligns
as the great intercessor, we align with him, we align
with his intercessions, and we allow
him and the Holy Spirit to intercede through
(08:58):
us with deep groanings, with deep intercessions,
that you feel these things with every fiber of your
being. I'm calling you by the spirit of God
to a deeper place that is more than just prayer
as you have been taught. But there is that
intercession, that standing in that place
(09:21):
saying, I will be one that stands by the
power of God, that gives myself
to intercede, that the will of heaven may be released in
the earth realm, accessing the glory realm.
That is when the manifest presence of God comes
upon you and is released through you and within
(09:43):
you through this place. There'll be miracles, there'll be
signs, there'll be wonders, extraordinary acts of
God that defy the natural laws of the
world, healings and prophetic revelations,
supernatural events. Acts 222. It
says, fellow Israelites, listen, Jesus of Nazareth,
(10:04):
a man accredited by God to you, by
miracles, wonders and signs which God did among you
through him. When you access that
miracle realm, you become one that releases
heaven into earth. Through Christ with
you, you become that gateway,
(10:28):
you, the faith that God has put in you, you
tap into that great glory realm
and it just comes through you and begins to
manifest here in the earth.
From this place is where true worship
actually is released from.
(10:50):
We worship God in spirit and in
truth. Truth is that revelation of Christ and in
spirit literally means that realm of the
spirit. Do you know that you can absolutely
worship in your flesh and never touch
the ways of the spirit of God? You can sing songs, you
(11:11):
can literally read scripture while
remaining absolutely in the flesh with no spiritual mind that
does about you. You see that
in the context of worship, the glory realm is seen
as a realm. It is a space that believers
enter into. It is a deep, intimate,
(11:34):
but often corporate place.
And when we tap into that, there is this interaction
between the glory realm, the heavenly realm, that realm of
the spirit and the natural. There is this divine
exchange between heaven and earth.
It's often spoke about as Jacob's ladders, the angels of God
(11:56):
descending and ascending. It is a transference
between realms. John 423 and 24 it
says, yet a time is coming and now has come when
the true worshipers will worship the father in spirit
and in truth, for they're the kind of worshipers the father
seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers
(12:18):
must worship him in spirit and in
truth. These are things that you do
not figure out in your natural mind. Your natural
mind is like a, like a bucking bronco. It's like a,
it's like a horse that's been untamed, that when you get
up on it, your mind wants to do what it wants to do. It does
(12:41):
not want to be broken. But your mind must
be broken by the ways of the spirit. It must be
broken by the spirit of God and the word of God, that it does
not get to do everything that it wants to do, but it
must come into alignment with the wheel and the
ways of the Christ.
(13:02):
You see, when you enter in to this realm, when you're being
beckoned by the spirit of God that says, come, come
deeper, come deeper, come deeper. It brings
a transformation of who you are.
It aligns you with your true identity.
You are changed. You are purified. This is
(13:25):
where the holy fire of God begins to come upon
you, and it rests upon the righteousness, but it begins to burn
out the unrighteousness. The fire of God
begins to consume you, and the Holy Spirit
begins to transform you and begins to renew you and
align you with who you really are. In two
(13:48):
corinthians 318, it talks about
who, with an unveiled face, beholds
the glory of the Lord. This is that place where
you behold him. You see him when
your eyes are laid upon the Lord of majesty, when your eyes look
into him, whose eyes burn like a flame of fire, they
(14:11):
begin to pierce your very soul. His eyes begin to transform
you. It is when you behold him that you are being
transformed, transformed into his image. With ever increasing
glory. From glory to glory. There is an
accessing of this glory realm. There is
a gripping of God that begins to call you deeper
(14:33):
and deeper, it begins to call you out of a
babylonian system of religion. It begins to call
you out of a fleshly system of religion. It begins
to call you out of this little, little
gathering once a week that we call church. It calls you
out of those things, and it calls you unto a holy,
(14:54):
sanctified, set apart life that walks with the
spirit of God. When people see you, they say, that is one that walks
with him, that is one that knows him, that is one that when they
speak, I'm captivated. That is one that when they speak, there's
something that begins to transform around them. There is a
release of the glory of the Lord when you begin to
(15:16):
speak about him, when you walk with him at this level,
the glory realm transforms you, and it
begins to transform those that are around you.
When God brings you into this place, there's a
great, deep love that
(15:38):
begins to captivate you. You begin to
look around at the lives of others, you begin to look around at the
circumstances around you, and you realize that you
just can't change them, but you must
give yourself an intercession over them, that the will of
God begins to grip them. You see, the
(16:01):
deeper I go into this realm with God, the more
I realize that I can't change
people. Yeah, we say that. I understand it, but yet we continue
to do the same thing we've always done, that a better teaching will help them,
that this will help them, that that'll help them. But I realize
now, the deeper I go in, they
(16:23):
are transformed by those
intercessions, that those intercessions go
before you, and you gain a place of gained
intercessions of victory. Before you ever arrive
on the scene, God's already shown you a victory
that has occurred in the spirit. Therefore, when you arrive there, you
(16:44):
are one that delivers the message of victory, because it's already been
won in the spirit realm. But sometimes we try to get to
these places and we try to fix things in the natural
using spiritual words. And guys, that will not work.
Those words must touch you. The life of the glory realm
and the spirit of God must touch you long before you
(17:06):
arrive. To, quote, fix the situation,
James four eight says, come near to God and he will
come near to you. Lean into
him, give your life over to him.
Understand that you can't walk this walk
(17:27):
in the flesh. By your own strength, by your own will,
come near to God right now, in this moment. Come near
to him, and he will come near to
you. As you pursue him, he overtakes
you. That verse goes on and says, wash your
hands, sinners, and purify your
(17:49):
hearts. You double minded.
I am utterly convinced that
many of us try to solve
problems by our own thoughts,
by our own wisdom. We just
cloak it in scripture. We cover
(18:13):
it with spiritual
covering. It's like we clothe it in spirituality,
but at its core, it's simply us trying to
fix something. We've not gained that place in
intercession first. Oh, God has just been
transforming me on the inside
(18:34):
over this past week of learning intercession
more and not learning about it through a teaching we didn't
have. Times of teaching at the Bible College of Wells,
we listened to an intercessor talk about his
life. Doctor Sam Matthews and Kathy.
As I heard those words, they were penetrating my very
(18:57):
being on the inside. I realized that I was being
invited into something that's deeper than I've ever
known. And there was a leaping in my spirit that says,
you're destined for this. And then there was a
resistance in my mind, thinking about the
price that must be paid.
(19:18):
But as I stopped looking with the eyes of flesh,
I said, jesus, let me behold you as the
intercessor. As my eyes began to behold the Christ,
there was this coming together, and I can't even begin to explain it, but
even as I talk about it, there's this coming together with
him. There is this aligning of beings with him.
(19:42):
And the scripture talks about being one with him.
What does that look like to be one with him?
That's the invitation that is to you, that is to me.
Right now, as we enter into this realm, we
understand what second Corinthians 517 begins to talk
about, that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
(20:04):
creation. The old is gone and the new is here. You and I look at
that and think that is past tense at the moment of our salvation. And
it is, in a sense, but there is this deeper
coming in Christ. There is a walk
of coming into him, deeper and deeper and
deeper. And at that moment we realize there is a
(20:26):
continual new creation that is happening within us. There is
this transformation from glory to glory,
from glory to glory. There is a dying and a
living and a dying and a living. And these things begin to cycle
within us and they begin to transform us.
It is in this place to where
(20:49):
faith becomes substance. Hebrews
eleven one. Now, faith is
substance. Faith
is substance. It's not this
abstract thought of believing,
but when we are brought into this glory realm, faith
(21:11):
is tangible. It is
tangible. And when there's been a gaining of a
new level of faith, you realize it is
substance. It cannot be moved. It cannot be
shaken.
Faith is substance. You can't teach
(21:32):
that. That is something that is experienced.
As you access the glory realm, as you shift into
that realm of the spirit and you become further
aligned with the Christ, the son
of God. The places that I'm
speaking about right now, this is the place
(21:54):
that all ministry, all service must come
from. You speak
of being called apostle and prophet and evangelist and pastor and
teacher, but yet
how much of that
is trying to look at the word and trying to create a message
(22:16):
that you can inspire people with? But it is
born from the intellect, not the spirit.
Let God grip you over this moment right now. Let him get a hold of
you right now. You know what I'm talking about. Many of
you that are listening, you are turning to the word of God to get a
message that might inspire people and make them think you know what
(22:38):
you're talking about. That is not the source. That must, the
message, messages, the equipping, must come out of this realm
of Christ, the glory realm of God.
It cannot be born in your natural mind.
It must be born of the spirit,
or it will not carry the eternality of the spirit of
(23:02):
God. I had
a gentleman one time come to Haiti
with me, and he pastored what appeared to be a successful
church. Been there quite some time.
As I got him on the backside of a mountain,
(23:23):
he asked to speak to me privately, and he came and he said,
mike, I don't know how to preach to these people.
And I was utterly shocked.
I was shocked to my very core
that here is a man with high
(23:45):
level education, years and years of
training in the scripture, years and
years of leading a local
assembly, and he is brought
to nothing going. I do not know
how to speak to these people. I looked at him
(24:06):
with literal brokenness, and out of my
shock, I said, what have you
been doing? I said, if the
word that you are preaching in the United States will not preach
here on the backside of this mountain, you are not
proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom. You are not
(24:28):
proclaiming the gospel of King Jesus. If it won't
speak here, if it. I was shocked. Guys, please
understand what I'm saying.
Yes, there is a contextualized message that is delivered,
but the message is unchanging.
He said, I don't know how to speak to them.
(24:50):
And I'm like, the words that you've been speaking
had to been a born of the flesh and not of the
spirit, because the words of the spirit are life.
They are eternal. They are the revelation of who who
the Christ is. And no matter where you are in the world,
from Asia to South America to Europe,
(25:12):
the words of the Christ and the word of God, it is
unchanging, and it will transform the people.
Acts one eight. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
on you. And you will be my witnesses in
Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, to the ends of the earth that
is born by the power of the spirit of God. It is not
(25:36):
born out of the intellect of the mind.
Let God draw you. Let him draw you
deeper into this place right now, even as I'm speaking to you. Let
there be a wailing up and a groaning start to enter
inside of you, that you come out of the ways and the works of
the flesh, and you enter into the ways of the spirit. You enter
(25:58):
into that eternality of the spirit of God
and let him begin to empower you. Let the revelation
of who he is bring forth your words, teachings,
your groans. That mind will touch mind, but
spirit will touch spirit. And so much I
watch words coming out of people, and they're
(26:21):
going from mind to mind, and they are empowering.
A puffed up, arrogant people. We must be
a lowly people, a humble people that surrender
ourselves and humbly submit ourselves to the spirit of
God. And we become dependent upon him,
knowing our words will come out of our mouth and they will fall to the
(26:44):
ground, useless unless they are born and bathed by the
spirit of God. And then, and only then, will they bring life
to those that hear.
It is from this place,
living in this glory realm of God,
(27:04):
living in that place of the spirit, where
your fleshly ways die out.
They burn out.
They burn out. One corinthians
nine, chapter two, verses nine and
ten says, as it is written
(27:25):
what no eye has seen and no ear has heard, and no human
mind has conceived the things that God has
prepared for those that love him. Most people stop there.
They say, we can't know. Oh, we talk about no
eyes seen, no ears heard, nor is the mind conceived,
the things that God has prepared for those that love him.
(27:49):
But we stop. The verse goes on, it
says, but these things God has revealed
to us by his spirit. Yes,
the spirit of God searches all things, things of
God. You cannot stop with not knowing. You
were invited into a realm of revelation, the glory
(28:11):
realm of God, where spirit and truth are together
united as one. It is in that place that you can
know. You can know the will of God for your life. You can
know the will of God for your region. You can know the will of God
for your business for your ministry, whatever it is. But you
can't figure it out in the ways of the flesh or of the fleshly
(28:33):
mind. You've got to enter into the realm of the spirit of God. That is
where you dwell with him, in that place of eternality.
I'm finishing this up, but you've got to hear me. John
17, verse 22 I have given them the
glory that you gave me, that
(28:56):
they may be one, as we are one,
I in them, you in
me, so that they may be brought to complete
unity. Then the world will know that you have
sent me, and I have loved them, even as you
have loved me. The great mystery
(29:18):
of being unified with the Christ, the son of
God, becoming one with him and one with the father.
What does that even mean? Oh, most people,
they'll vaguely touch on these things. But listen, dear
friend, there is a unity that
comes in the spirit, with the son, with the father, with the
(29:40):
spirit, that we can become one
as they are one. We can enter into that place by the
spirit where you can know the will of God,
you can know him. Know
him, dear ones, know him. You
feel him. You feel his heart, you feel his
(30:02):
emotions. You know the mind of the Lord.
He releases those things to you. He calls you
friend. So, Father, I
pray for my friends right now, God, that you will
draw them deep, deep, deep unto yourself.
You'll draw them deep, deep, deep, God, to
(30:24):
where they thirst for you, they thirst
for you, they long for you. Psalm
42 the deer pants for the streams of water, so my
soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God.
Thirst for him, long for him,
(30:46):
and he will give you the living water
that you will never thirst again.
Lean into him.
