“Look Into His Presence”
“In The Glory”
Prayer is like the incense that the priests would burn on the golden altar of incense in the holy Presence of God. Every piece of furniture in the tabernacle had a spiritual significance found in the New Covenant. The tabernacle emphasizes the importance of the Presence of God in our lives. Because Jesus shed His blood we can now enter into the Holy of Holies. As the priest obeyed all that God told Moses then the glory of God filled the house of God. When we obey all that God says in His Word then the glory of God will come and fill our lives. Miracles will happen, lives will be changed and the community will be impacted with the Gospel.
Revelation 8:1-6 CEV
The Seventh Seal Is Opened
“When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. I noticed that the seven angels who stood before God were each given a trumpet.”
“Another angel, who had a gold container for incense, came and stood at the altar. This one was given a lot of incense to offer with the prayers of God's people on the gold altar in front of the throne.
Then the smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God's people, went up to God from the hand of the angel.” “ After this, the angel filled the incense container with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and the earth shook.”
The following verses mention the glory of the Lord appearing as a cloud.
Exodus 16:10
While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the Lord appearing in the cloud.
Exodus 40:34
The Glory of the Lord
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Exodus 40:35
Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Exodus 24:17
What is the Glory Of God?
The following scriptures tell us that to the Israelites the Glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.
The glory of the Lord also proved that God was present and that it is a manifestation of God’s visitation. The nation of Israel is another lesson on how when the glory of the Lord comes it is a revelation of God’s favor and goodness upon His people. Exodus 40:34
“Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.” Additionally, in Hebrews we see how the glory of the Lord came through our great high priest, Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:14
“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.”
Let’s look at what brings the presence of the Lord .
Obedience: God gave Moses specific measurements for the tabernacle, the furniture, the ordinances for the sacrifices, the dress of the priests, the cleansing of the priests, the way the different types of sacrifices were to be offered, how to break down the tabernacle for transport, etc. The law and all the different types of situations where the blood was to be applied. The oil for consecration (set apart), the types of animals to be offered and they had to be unblemished and perfect. Moses followed and obeyed God as he was overseeing the work on the tabernacle.
Holiness: This included the priests and the people of God. The book of Deuteronomy gives a powerful explanation of the importance of following all the ordinances and commands and be blessed or cursed. The presence of the Lord is the most important aspect of our life for when His presence is with us He works things out.
The following scriptures describe what we experience while we are in His presence.
Deuteronomy 28:1-18 New KJV
Blessings on Obedience
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:
“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.
“Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
“Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
“The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
It is important that we listen and obey His voice and carefully follow all that He commands. I know we are no longer under the law but obedience and walking in holiness is the way to stay under the blessing of the Lord.

August Prayer Strategy
Listen to the Teaching of God
Isaiah 28:23 “Give ear and hear My voice, Listen and hear My speech.”
This month and this coming school year let us focus on students as they return to their schools, colleges, universities, and even homeschools. Let’s pray for students everywhere in our city to be protected, to receive Godly instruction, and for them to not be swayed by the foolish deceptive lies of the enemy taught to children and adults in the education field.
Pray revival impacts teachers, administrators, staff, and students at the same time. Pray schools be turned into places of worship and that staff and teachers would give the students Godly directions.
Pray against violence in schools and that God would supernaturally protect students and staff both at school and at home.
Pray more students be homeschooled or taught in private Christian schools so they can be taught the ways of the Lord that they might not depart from them in their old age.
Pray that Godly people take charge of the public schools and that depraved and ungodly leaders would be removed.
Pray there will be new curriculum that is patriotic, Godly, and conservative which would include good things in America.
Pray students learn about the freedoms we have in America and that they would learn to love it.
Pray every institution of learning helps students understand what is so special about this Nation and that we need Godly morals to maintain it.
Pray Jesus would take center stage in American churches, politics, education, and most
importantly in individual’s lives.
Pray that truth, justice, and the American way always be taught to students.
Thank You Lord for America, as we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. We ask God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her, through the night with the light from above.
