Pure Glory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Be Focused, Encouraged, and God-expectant, for you are near; in close proximity; in, on the verge, almost: nearby; not far off; in circumference and so near in time of God fulfilling what your spirit’s been longing for; God is about to kill, incinerate, and cauterize the spirit of lack in your life wherever you were lacking.

The intangible is about to become touchable, the invisible is about to be seen, and the impossible is about to become a reality.

You are now not even facing the same direction. The tables have been turned in your favor. You are on the other side of what you were going through.
The ground you were standing on has shifted and your momentum has accelerated. You can’t even view your situation the same…God says, “Everything has changed.” The season you’re in marks a very special time on the calendar of God. There is a fresh wave of God’s Spirit moving over you and an avalanche of God’s glory, wealth, and judgment (which is his mercy) coming towards you.

Be bold, be brave for the Lord your God is with you; he goes before you and prepares the way for you the bride of Christ. You are walking through a new door of the prophetic, I place within the mouth of your spirit, the gold master-key of David that unlocks the ancient doors of David–new realms of pure worship.

The Bridegroom is crying, yearning, and biding for his bride to come lay down with him in his chambers of glory, for deeper intimacy. You, your life, family, relationships, well-being, and wealth is transformed today by the government of God and the sovereign rule of the Holy Spirit! Warrior I decree an overwhelming large amount of heaven’s  best over you…

Note this worship warrior: It Is Done! Did you hear me? It is Done! Done in the heavens, done on the earth, and done in your spirit!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I see a tidal wave, an avalanche, coming our direction and moving swiftly, swift change is upon us. God is destroying and tearing apart things, as we have humanly known it, many things are subject to change due to the leading and power of the Holy Spirit. What we have known in the past is about to “suddenly” change.

Wave- any surging or progressing movement or part resembling a wave of the sea: a wave of the pulse. a swell, surge, or rush, as of feeling or of a certain condition:

Avalanche-a large mass of snow, ice, etc., detached from a mountain slope and sliding or falling suddenly down. to overwhelm with an extremely large amount of anything; swamp.

I believe that there is a wave of God’s Spirit coming over the body of Christ in this hour and an avalanche of God’s glory and His judgment. God wants to overwhelm us with an extremely large amount of his glory. However, with this glory his judgment is coming and he will destroy every idol that we have built/set up in his temple.

There is only room for the glory, no more the glory and other things; for the glory is the removal of all things unlike Christ and the transformation of things not glorifying him. No flesh can glory in his presence. Flesh cannot enter the kingdom of God but our hearts rendered  in complete sweet surrender to Him can.

Abundant finances, exponential growth, surrounding surplus, super breakthroughs from heaven, a vast enlargement of souls entering the Kingdom and not just man’s religion; the pure and undefiled religion, pure glory! Pure Glory!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will own it forever—yes, for ever and ever.

“As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.” (Daniel 7:18, 21-22)

You have invincible FAVOR!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

It doesn’t matter “Saints”, how many times you may have failed in the past, you always have your future to Win!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Don’t count the time you’ve waited on the Father; spend the time worshiping Him…

“Here is a call for endurance of the saints, those who keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” Revelation 14:12
“Who dat?  Who dat?  Who dat say they dem gonna beat dem Saints?” New Orléans Saints fans

God often speaks through events or common happenings in our culture. Jesus of Nazareth would  tell stories about familiar things to illustrate a spiritual truth. Super Bowl XLIV (44) was something that to me illustrates a message for the church.  Four represents a door and the creation made by the Creator. It also is three, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit plus one, you. This Super Bowl was a vehicle for a double door through which the Creator would show his creation, the true triumphant church.

The Indianapolis Colts were the favorite to win over the New Orléans Saints. They had one earlier Super Bowl win and a well-functioning team.  Their quarterback had been Most Valuable Player for the season and their coach had a great reputation. On the other hand, the Saints had never won a Super Bowl and it did not look like they would win this time either.  Some news reports stated that the Saints felt shame and embarrassment over their past failures.  Although the Saints had been in the National Football League for forty-three years, they had not been known for winning.  They were often described as the greatest underdogs.  In 1980, the spectators named them the “Aints” and the stands filled with people wearing paper bags over their heads, due to the shame of how poorly the Saints played.  Their fans did not think they deserved the name Saints and they were known as the worst team in NFL history.  The descendants of these “Aints” played in the Super Bowl.

There was a contrast between the team names chosen for the Saints and the Colts. The Bible calls Christians saints that are holy, dedicated, set apart, sacred, pure and blameless because of the blood of Jesus applied to their lives. A colt is as a young male horse under the age of four and it is known to have endless energy.

In August 2005, New Orléans suffered through Hurricane Katrina and as a result the devastation made it look like the city would stay uninhabitable due to 85% of the city being under water and all of its residents evacuated.  New Orléans and the Saints both suffered from defeats that could have been death blows.  In 2006, Sean Payton, joined the Saints as coach and told the players that their stories mirrored his, as the unwanted, underrated, unlikely and unloved.  Payton saw them as champions and encouraged them to believe and contend for this, despite the odds. The team chose to believe their coach and not anyone else.  Payton hired Drew Brees, a free agent that others held in derision and bypassed due to his being short and having a shoulder injury that the physicians had predicted could never be repaired.  Brees was a devout Christian who rebuilt his shoulder and his reputation, while relying on his faith.  He also encouraged many as he worked alongside others to help rebuild New Orléans.  New Orléans and the Saints were  both resurrected.

Super Bowl 2010 was a highly anticipated event with 75,000 watching the game in the stands in Miami, Florida, while 106.5 million people watched it by television not just in the United State but around the world.  This allowed a huge multitude to see that a champion comes from how one sees oneself not in how others describe them.

The Colts gained an early lead that they sustained to the end of the third quarter.  The Saints came from behind and secured their victory in the last quarter of the game.  The team worked smoothly together and despite having more than forty years of shame and defeat, upset the Colts with a win of 31-17, in the biggest comeback ever seen in the Super Bowl.  The most valuable player for the game was the Saints’ quarterback, Drew Brees.  In a moment, the despised and overlooked were champions, with the disgrace of the past erased.

Super Bowl 2010 is an illustration showing that it is never too late.  It does not matter how many defeats that you have experienced in the past. It does not matter that the game is almost over and you are not winning.  No matter how much shame and embarrassment you have endured, this is a new day and a new season.  Although you may feel unwanted, underrated, unlikely and unloved it is the present truth that compels you to victory.  Coach Jesus has declared that you are champions and winners. It is time to believe and act on the words of Jesus not on how others define you.  Just as the Saints and New Orléans experienced resurrection from the dead, so has the true church.  Despite those who characterize the true saints as being unwanted, the True Church Triumphant is arising to confound the world.  They will say: “Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?”

Don’t allow the enemy to retard you by bombarding you with the cares of this world. Bombard heaven and throw all your cares on the Father because he cares for you!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”  Isaiah 43:18-19

God has opened up the heavens, he has caused great change in the heavens that have affected the earth (us). From this day, February 5, 2010, marks a new era, a new order, and a new effortless way. A greater peace that we have not known. A deeper intimacy, a deeper walk with the Lord and each other.  Kingdom enlargement is today! This shift is affecting our churches our gatherings, our families, and our very lives. Those who were almost extinguished are receiving new hope and new courage in the midst of adversity and loss.

We cannot view our circumstances the same because we have new eyes to see. Our ears are deaf to the lies of the enemy because we have new ears (enlarged with the hearing aid of the Holy Spirit). Our mouths prophesy Heaven’s definite course; of our increase, our victory, our outcome, declaring our ending from our beginning.  A supernatural recompense of goods; a supernatural release and supernatural energy of the Holy Spirit.  The transition is causing our transformation. Transformation has happened.  The glorious inheritance of the saints is secure, eminent and here.

The manifested presence of God has increased to a greater measure for the deliberate worshiper. “The God of peace shall bruise Satan underneath your feet shortly.” ( Romans 16:20 a) Take the Peace of God and walk on your enemies. Encircle your enemy with your worship with the Prince of Peace! Your worship stills the enemy. Your praise silences the avenger. (Psalms 8:2)

The enemy is dis-articulated when you the redeemed of the Lord speak. Therefore, worship and say, “we are victorious”, and “we have recovered all because our Father is El Shaddai and the Holy Spirit rules and governs us with God’s heavenly government.” Gigantic Angels of peace walk, tread, and trample on your enemies…everything is being transformed by the Glory of the Lord!

You will not walk the same, For I, the Lord your God, walk in you. You will not think the same because I place my thoughts within you. Go and do what the enemy told you was impossible. Go and retrieve what you thought you had lost forever.  There is also special grace, to take charge over the attacks against our physical bodies including our emotions. There has been a jarring to jar you out of the old place of death and to plunge you into the new order God has set for you. Everything is in place. Everyone is in their proper place and function.

Do you hear that? It is the sound of your enemies crying out for mercy, for the “Man of War” has triumphed gloriously, he has conquered all that sought to destroy you. The horse and the rider are cast into the sea. The Lion of Judah faces you, his eyes are upon you along with his protection, his provision, and his providence! Lift your voice, lift your song, lift your sound in worship like a shofar in Zion! Declare the Lion of Judah has roared out your enemies and roared in your Protection, your Provision, and your Providence!

The gateway’s door is open wider, and the windows of heaven have broken over you this day! Realms that were inaccessible in times past are disclosed to you. Glory realms of strange and ridiculous happenings, tangible glory shown forth in my tangible goodness to you and yours! Over, above, and beyond, will be your habitation. The supernatural will become natural! The difficult and stubborn stagnant things in the past will become effortless and easy. Grace, great, great, great grace is now upon you.

I see cures–anecdotes falling from heaven, I see whole bodies and parts forming and falling from the heavens upon you, his people. Be enforced with heaven’s force, be ensured with the benefits of the Kingdom of God! You the people of God are victorious in ALL things!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I believe God is jumping over you, ’cause I believe, “This is it!”
“…Let the LORD be magnified,” who takes pleasure (jumps up and down over you) his servant (this is you) prospering. This is it!  (Psalm 35:26)

He delights to bless you more than you want blessings. Note this: true prosperity is wherever you were lacking, you will not lack anymore.

God takes pleasure prospering his servant. To enjoy prosperity involves to thrive, to succeed, to flourish (to grow well), security; ease; peace; wealth; to have good success; family restoration, contentment, emotional wholeness, health, love, joy, peace of mind, a sense of well-being, spiritual sensitivity, an understanding of ourselves, etc.
