Pure Glory

by Apostle  Gabriel Cross

I just realized, it’s not your “words” but your heart-actions that I remember the most…

It’s not your “actions” but your heart-words that I treasure the most, because I value what purely comes from the heart.

Only what comes from the heart, touches the heart. But what comes from the heart of God, transforms our lives.

The time has come to an end for performance, entertaining, and impressing others by the flesh. Skills, talents, and human abilities are no match nor substitute for the Glory. Now is the time for the true worshipers to come forth…and nothing impresses us more than the pure glory of the Lord.

Regardless of how it seems, God is restoring families. I command the spirit of Elijah to arise in your family to restore their hearts back to each other…” (Malachi 4:5-6)

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You may not know how, you may not know when, but God can, God is, and God has already done it for you.  This is heavenly peace…

Knowing that you have heaven’s security, God is not a man that he should lie. He and his word are married and it will not return to him void but will accomplish what he sent it forth to do. God has given you all things richly to enjoy. God has given you all things about life and godliness.

Acts 12:5-7
“Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. (power of corporate intercession)
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.”

Although, Peter’s circumstances were disturbing, he was not. Peter was facing trial, imprisoned, and guarded in chains, but none of this disrupted his inner peace. The peace that keeps us from falling to pieces. Heavenly peace is undisturbing peace…it keeps our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!

Therefore, all the devil can do is con you out of what already belongs to you. “Sleep in heavenly peace…” God promised us sweet sleep in Proverbs 3:24, and that sweet sleep comes from his sweet heavenly peace.

I command the Shalom of Jehovah, the Prince of Peace, the heavenly peace of God to encumber the enemy from disturbing your inner peace, your rest, your sleep, your health, heart and mind in Christ Jesus. In Yeshua’s peace and Yeshua’s authority, sleep in heavenly peace…

Some say God hates divorce, God says it depends on who you are divorcing. Here are some things you may need to divorce:

The spirit of comparison, measuring yourself to someone else, the spirit of identity crisis, striving but never being yourself; unhappy with oneself, and having no identity.

The spirit of Saul, the people’s choice, living by the impulse of others.

The spirit of self-mutilation, can’t love your neighbor, as one loves oneself because one hates oneself.

Last but not least, the spirit of isolation, no communication, no relation, no true covenant relationship with another.

One must fall out of agreement with the enemy and come into complete compliance with the Lord. “…and the two became one.” Divorce what the enemy’s saying to you and marry the Lord and become one with his word; you’re the bride, Yeshua is the groom.

Let’s retire the spirit of Cain in our worship-giving God what we want to give; and keep the spirit of Abel–giving God what he wants to receive.  Worship is a lifestyle, so live extravagantly passionate about pleasing our Father!

“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every gate was of one pearl.”  Revelation 21:21(a)

The gates of heaven are pearls; each gate is a pearl. Irritation and persecution make pearls.  So we enter the kingdom gates through persecution.  But this is what forms pearls because we enter into heaven through persecution.

The mother hen gives me a picture of the prayer shawl or tallit, which originally meant “cloak” or “gown” with tassels on its four corners, to remind us of God’s commandments. Jesus said in Luke 13:34(b), “How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!” When a hawk is circling above the chicks, the mother hen holds her wings out and her chicks gather under them.  The mother hen will puff up so that all the chicks can get under her.  I see her saying, “the hawk will have to get me first before he can take my chicks.”  The hawk cannot carry both the hen and the chicks at the same time.  The hen is willing to give up her life to save the lives of her chicks. (See this video to explain the idea:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg4FXWsdDEI )

I see Jesus, our Savior, spreading his prayer shawl over us.  The prayer shawl with its tassels is also called the wings.  These wings cover you and me that we might have life.  He was willing to take death so we might receive life.

I relate this to Boaz putting his prayer shawl over Ruth, on the threshing floor.  He becomes the near kinsmen and brings restoration.  The Jews understood those things but they did not perceive it.  Jesus wants to show himself to people today.

The Lord is our prayer shawl, our redeemer, our near kinsman, our restorer, our lover and our mother hen.
