Good Morning Sunshine! Let The Shekinah Glory Cover Your Altar!

Exodus 40:34-38 ~ “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted. So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.”

You know as we have been speaking on Altar’s this week and truly experiencing God. I wanted to make sure that I bring this point to the forefront of your mind! You can’t be on the Altar and not have a Shekinah Glory Moment! 

Do you really know what Shekinah means and where it came from? It is a Hebrew word that means for something to dwell or to settle upon. settling. In the Bible it represents the Presence of God is settling or dwelling over you. It’s when you are at your Altar worshiping God and the Presence of God manifest right there with you, you are now exposed to the Shekinah Glory! Oh, what time that you are having right now!  This is what a real experience in the Presence of God looks, feels and sounds like!

In a commentary written by Dr. Tony Garland, he says this about the Shekinah Glory, “it is the majestic presence or manifestation of God in which He descends to dwell among men. Whenever the invisible God becomes visible, and whenever the omnipresence of God is localized.” You see it’s right here in today’s scripture that you see the Presence of God, for His Glory was represented by a cloud in the day and fire in the cloud by night! His Glory was always present, and just as He was there with them, He is here with you, remember God is spirit and His Spirit dwells within you now.

So how do you experience the Shekinah Glory today, since God is not in the cloud by day and the fire by night like He was in the Old Testament? You have to seek Him with all of your heart, while He may be found. Now in order to see the Glory of God, to experience the Shekinah Glory, your heart must be right! You see the Glory of God went from dwelling in tents and temples to dwelling in the hearts of men. 1 Corinthians 6:19, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” So now the Shekinah Glory is ever-present with you because the Holy Spirit dwells on the inside of you. 

Now you don’t have to worry about God’s Presence leaving you, He’s with you wherever you go; Psalm 139:7-10 KJV, “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. [9] If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; [10] Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.” So, as you can see by the Word of God, you can never get away from Him! 

Now as you spend time at the Altar and the Fire of the Holy Ghost comes upon you, you will become more aware of God’s Presence as you are praying and worshipping Him, and no two times will be alike, for you will be moving from level to level, going higher and higher in the things of God! God has given you the greatest gift ever, His Holy Spirit. As you have laid it all on the Altar, you have confessed and repented and God has cleansed your mouth, you are ready! You are ready to embrace the Power of the Shekinah Glory and to experienced it in your life like never before! 

It is at this juncture that you have taken the time to lean into and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life. For every single thing that you need to live this life has been given to you through the Holy Spirit. It looks different now because you see different, you recognize who God is to you, it’s not about what He does for you, it’s about what He gives that makes all the difference. The great thing about the Shekinah Glory is that it is not just limited to you being in a church setting, you can experience the Presence of God wherever you are; and when you get to the church setting, you are already on fire, you’re not waiting for someone to light your fire! 

My prayer for each one of you is that you will allow the Spirit of God to dwell in you as you spend time on the Altar! This means that God’s Glory, God’s Anointing, His Wisdom, Love and Power goes into you, that when you look at you, you don’t see any parts of you, because the light of His Glory is covering you up! I pray that the Shekinah Glory fills every part of your life and goes wherever you go! You see when you experience the Shekinah Glory, others will see God’s character in you and it becomes clear and evident that you are who you say you are, a child of the Most-High King! The is proof is in the Power of God and His Shekinah Glory at work in you is the true reflection of His Presence!
