Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

God is breaking limitations with his Glory that only exist in your mind.

by Hazel Straub

All who are weary and heavy laden come to me and REST. Cease from striving and trying to earn my favor. You have my favor. My son did the work on the cross. REST from being burden bearer and give your cares to me, God. Rely on me not yourself. Let me be God and REST. Cease struggling instead snuggling, as you REST in me.

Love,
Abba

To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm. A song.

1GOD BE merciful and gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us and among us–Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!–
2That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power (Your deliverances and Your salvation) among all nations.
3Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You.
4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples fairly and guide, lead, or drive the nations upon earth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
5Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You!
6The earth has yielded its harvest [in evidence of God’s approval]; God, even our own God, will bless us.
7God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall reverently fear Him.

Job 37:2-6
“Hear, oh, hear the roar of His voice and the sound of rumbling that goes out of His mouth! Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, and His lightning to the ends of the earth. After it His voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He restrains not [His lightnings against His adversaries] when His voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth; likewise He speaks to the showers and to the downpour of His mighty rains.”

Fairbanks recently experienced torrential rainfall  that came in four waves accompanied by lightning, thunder and  pea sized hail. The National Weather Bureau noted that the storm was unusual in its intensity and broke the record of rain in most areas, as it deposited up to three times the record of rain in selected areas, around Fairbanks. This rain saturated the ground and brought refreshment. The rain watered and cleansed the earth bringing more productivity.

God is sending his rain to soften our hearts and make us more receptive to him. May his rain saturate you, cleanse, and give you breakthrough in this new season. Allow the rain to expose, soften and change your heart. Let it rain!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

What is spoken from the mouth is sometimes temporal, but what is spoken from the Heart will last forever. Speak what God put in your heart, one word could change someone’s life forever.

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Sometimes you simply need to take a heaven break and think on his GOODNESS…Selah.

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

God is examining our hearts in this season, make sure you seek the Lord for yourself “wholeheartedly.” The Glory of the Lord is purifying our motives for why we do what we do.

“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10

Be still, desist (cease from doing something), cease striving, be weak, let go, surrender, die to yourself and your desire to control the outcome and know, learn, recognize and understand that I am God. I am in control and I am trustworthy. I will be exalted and honored among the nations! I will be exalted and honored in the earth!  Surrender and honor God!

Fairbanks, Alaska has been a place where the wind does not blow and the air is still. Change, however, is upon Fairbanks and the winds are blowing.  Dead trees are toppling and unproductive branches fall to the ground.  It is impossible to remain unchanged by the wind. The sound of  the wind whistles in the ears. Listen to the wind. The wind is fanning fires that devour the forest and blow smoke into the city.

Winds of change are blowing. It is no longer business as usual. No longer can you say, this is a place where the wind does not blow. Great change is upon you. The expected is no longer seen nor can it be relied upon. Receive the unexpected “suddenly.” Suddenly, the disciples in the Upper Room heard the sound like a mighty rushing wind and flames as of fire appeared, upon their heads. Wind and fire go together. Accept the winds of the Holy Spirit and the accompanying fire.

This is a new season and God’s breath is blowing upon you.  Fire comes with the winds to burn the old and cannot be controlled by men. His wind is making internal changes to you. It is carrying you into a new place that requires new ways of thinking and relating. Listen to the wind of  the Holy Spirit, as it shapes you into Yeshua’s image. Rest and rejoice, as the winds fan the flames that change you! Embrace the winds.
