Discover the transformative power of aligning with the divine as my wife and I, founders of Glory Culture International Ministries, share a prophetic word to uplift your spiritual journey. Our recent Glory Nights were a testament to the magnified presence of God when believers come together in worship. I am thrilled to recount these encounters and convey a message that calls for a heavenly cadence in our lives, transcending worldly limitations. As you listen, open your heart to receive insight from the Book of Revelation, where Jesus Christ's victory shines, reminding us of our oneness with Him and the divine seasons we are destined to navigate.
In a heartfelt conversation, we tackle the necessity of rekindling our initial fervor for our spiritual path, drawing lessons from the Church of Ephesus. The Passion Translation casts a fresh light on the balance between our deeds and a passionate, intimate faith. We must not only commend our hard work and resilience in trials but also reengage with the 'first works' of our faith. This episode is an invitation to rediscover your spiritual connection and enter into a season of growth, aligning your life with the fiery zeal that first sparked your journey with the divine. Join us in this call to action, as we inspire each other to walk in the fullness of our relationship with God.

Thanks for joining us.
Hey, if you haven't made it outand joined us in person for
(02:19):
Glory Night yet, let me tell youthings are getting really,
really just glorious with theLord.
Just a few nights ago, wehosted our last meeting here and
it was so thick, so tangible,with the presence of God.
I mean, they've all been good.
(02:40):
They've all been different.
It's very, it's kind of funny.
They've all been different, butthis one was like another level
, another level of presence,another level of glory, and
we've even had a couple of video, not video.
We've had a few emailtestimonies come in of how
people have been marked by thatmeeting, their lives changed
(03:04):
with their encounter with God.
And let me just tell you it wasreally good.
I was preaching on how toreceive revelation, some of the
ways that revelation comes.
Man, the Holy Spirit, was there.
The Bible says that the HolySpirit is our perfect teacher,
(03:30):
and so when you discussrevelation number one, you're
talking about the revealing ofthe nature of Jesus and the
revealer, who is the Holy Spirit.
When you are just comingtogether, worshiping and just
discussing Him in His divinenature, he is faithful to show
up and I'm telling you theatmosphere was pregnant and
(03:54):
charged with glory and miracles,and it was fabulous.
The spirit of prophecy began toflow, really, really just flow,
and God was with us and it'sbeen a blessing.
So if you haven't checked usout yet, do us and yourself a
favor and come, get in the river, because the more people of God
(04:17):
that come together, the morelike-minded believers come
together and do a little bit ofa splash.
Splash in the river of God.
The glory goes from glory toglory to glory.
Hallelujah, amen.
So listen, I'm going to getcaught up talking on something
else and I got to do what theLord told me to do, and that is
(04:38):
a word that I want to releasefor you right now, in this time,
in this season.
Listen, as Holy Ghost believers, we are not subject to the
times and season of this world,but we are, number one, called
to recognize times and seasons,and, number two, we are supposed
to operate according to thetimes and seasons of heaven, not
(05:02):
of this worldly pattern.
Amen, hallelujah.
God is actually calling you tolive in the land of perpetual
spring, where there is no winterand there is no fruitlessness.
Amen, and that's a message foranother day.
So right now, we're gonna talkabout what God is saying to his
(05:23):
church.
This is for the body right now,in this season.
Amen, hallelujah.
So let's go ahead and getstarted.
Let me just pray real quick.
Father, thank you so much forevery person that is tuning in.
Father, I thank you that thereis no time in the realm of the
(05:45):
spirit, so that those who arewith us now and those who are
with us in the future arereceiving the same glory,
presence and impartation in yourmighty name, jesus Christ, amen
and amen.
Today I've got a couple ofBibles in front of me here and
(06:07):
we're gonna release the word ofthe Lord.
What God is speaking in thisseason and this has been so
clear, it's resonated in myspirit and I've actually been
sitting on this for quite sometime, because God has been doing
a work in me and, how many ofyou know, sometimes when you are
called, especially in theprophetic, your life is the
(06:28):
message, and so a lot of timesGod will cut on me and work on
me with the word, and then,after a period of time, it's
time to release that.
So this has been something thatthe Lord has been speaking to
me about for a little bit oftime.
Amen, and I'm gonna read to youquickly from the book of
(06:51):
Revelation.
How many of you know that thething being revealed is Jesus
Christ.
Not the apocalypse, it is theRevelation, and I'll even show
you right there.
It says the revelation of JesusChrist.
Somehow we found a way to makeit about some sort of fantasy
(07:14):
doomsday when, as you flipthrough every page, you can't
help but see another nature ofJesus.
Flip the page, another natureof his kingship, flip the page,
another nature of his glory, and, my goodness, my goodness.
Revelation is a perfectportrait of the victorious king,
(07:38):
jesus Christ.
The victorious nature of JesusChrist.
Amen.
And I know that that is highlyunpopular with religiosity,
because, well, religion will letyou be near him but it will
never allow you to be in him.
And my Bible says that I'm inhim and he is in me, hallelujah.
(08:02):
So let's start here.
Revelation, chapter two.
And I'm gonna try not to bunnytrail a whole lot, because the
book of Revelation does that tome often, to the angel of the
church of Ephesus.
This is Jesus giving a commandto John, and my whole life been
(08:27):
around ministry leaders andpastors that say, obviously this
angel is not an angel.
We don't do that.
That's absurd.
He's writing to the pastor LikeI'm sorry that you don't have
Revelation, but John operated ina form of intimacy that no
(08:49):
other ministry leader had, andthat was his chief belief about
who he was was that he was theLord's beloved.
He never wrote from the apostleJohn, from the disciple John,
from the son of thunder, fromJohn the revelator no, it was
(09:15):
from the one whom Jesus loves.
His identity was wrapped up inmy.
God is obsessed with me and man, if you said that today, you'd
have so many people lining upsaying you narcissist, no, no,
no, no.
Mind of Christ know who I amand I pray that you get that
(09:41):
revelation of who you are.
But John, the disciple whomJesus loved, he loved them all,
but only one of them was fullyand completely encapsulated by
who he was in Christ.
John laid his head upon Jesus'bosom, placing his ear to the
(10:02):
heartbeat of Jesus, hearing thefrequency of the heart of God,
and from that standpoint he said, yep, I know who I am.
And that intimacy allowed him alevel of authority, because
we've all been.
Everything has power,everything in nature has power,
and onion has the power to makeyou cry.
(10:23):
Everything has power.
But authority comes toproximity to Christ.
His proximity to Jesus gave himan authority to write a
commanding letter to the angelover the church.
That's another topic.
I told you revelation.
(10:44):
I love the book of Revelation,but let's stay on topic, as what
the Lord wants me to releasefor the body of Christ, in this
hour that we sit in right now,these things Jesus is commanding
, he who holds the seven starsin his right hand, who walks in
the midst of the seven goldenlimestones.
(11:06):
I know your works, your labor,your patience, that you cannot
bear those who are evil.
You've tested those who saythey are apostles and are not,
and have found them liars, andyou have persevered.
You have patience.
You have labored for my name'ssake and have not become weary.
(11:27):
My goodness, this church ofEphesus sounds like the biggest
set of rock stars for Jesus inthe world.
This is a list of all the thingsthat they've done.
Jesus is bragging on them.
Hey, I know who you are.
I've seen you.
(11:47):
You have had an intolerance forevil.
You have had works and laborsand patience You've preserved.
You haven't even grown weary,ephesus.
You have the Isaiah 41anointing.
(12:08):
You have waited upon me withyour patience and you are not
weary.
Like praise God, hallelujahEphesus, you rock, but, but
Jesus is always working on us.
This is where we are right now,in this hour.
(12:29):
Nevertheless, I have thisagainst you that you've left
your first love.
Remember, therefore, from whereyou have fallen, repent and do
the first works.
You should type in first works.
Listen, this is not a letter ofcondemnation.
(12:53):
This is not a letter ofcondemnation.
This is a love letter sayingman, you guys are on it, you're
on it, you've tapped into it.
You don't tolerate evil.
You don't allow the false onesto come around and take your
platform away.
You don't allow a lack ofdiscernment to rule the day.
(13:19):
You have done things in my nameand you guys are great, but, my
goodness, I need FaceTime withyou again and listen.
The next verse is not a slap.
He's saying remember, go back,look at, look at.
(13:45):
Remember when you were soinfatuated with me in the same
way that I'm infatuated with you.
Get back to those first works.
Everything you've done is great.
Your resume kicks butt, but Iwant some pillow time again.
This is where we're at right now, in this hour, in the body of
(14:05):
Christ man.
The last six years, the churchhas done so much.
The world has been reached.
Of course we're not finished,but we're being called into
proper order, into supernaturalalignment again.
We have been doing all theright things.
(14:30):
There's nothing backslidden orwrong about the works of Ephesus
.
But in their pursuit ofcarrying out the will of God,
one thing waned away, and I wantto read from the passion
translation Listen to this.
(14:50):
I'm going to start from versetwo again.
I know all you've done for me.
You've worked hard andpersevered.
I know that you don't tolerateevil.
You have tested those who claimto be apostles and you prove
that they're not, but they wereimposters.
I also know you've bravelyendured trials and persecutions
(15:13):
because of my name.
