First let me tell you of a dream/vision that I had one night. This is at the same time as my mother lay dying. I woke up to praising God and his Glory. I praised him while lying in bed . I saw a whiteness all around me. This whiteness was like a fluffy cloud. My arms were raised as if I were reaching up to heaven. I praised God and gave thanksgiving for my mother's life. the glory that we will experience will be wonderful. We will bowing down to God and thanking him for our lives and for what he has done for us. We will be immersed in such love and peace. We will see wonders everyday nothing will be the same as we will experience love like we have not experienced before.

Rule and reign with Christ now is to acknowledge him as our Lord and savior. We then are to be Jesus to others and treat others like Jesus would treat them. When Christ returns we will we will be elevated next to him and bask in his glory and be alongside him. Mwemwll be alongside Jesus in heaven, which is his Glorious Kingdom.

When Christ returns, everyone will be gathered up from all corners of the earth. They will be gathered by his angels who will call everyone who believe they in him. The Son of Man will return in glory and gather all those who believe in him to him.

We are to rule and reign with God's intervention. Not to go our own way, but to to do what God bids us to do. We are to do what God wants us to,do for his kingdom on this earth. If we as believers took take this seriously, then our world would be in a better place. One that we would work out our differences without all the snarky comments or unjust actions that is taking place right now. We would be listening more and acting less. We would be extending grace to others just as Jesus did. We would be seeking Jesus first before acting. Ruling and reigning with Christ will be one of us following and doing what Jesus has set out for us to do.

I have been given spiritual authority through Christ Jesus. Once I accepted him, I have been giv n he authority to go out and give the same glory to others so that they will know God. I think that we neglect to use our kingdom authority because we forget that we have it. Maybe afraid or maybe a lack of no how.....or at least we think that.

When we are suffering and people are noticing. It is how we conduct our selves. Are we moaning and groaning? And blaming? Although I do think some moaning and groans are warranted. But then who do we turn to? God? If we turn to God then our faith will be demonstrated. Do we forge ahead in out suffering trusting that God will take care of us. Do we find some joy or continue to worship God and turn to him? By these actions we give notice to others our faith. The jars of clay are the vessels, just as we are the vessels. We are holding great treasure. Sometimes these jars are become broken, just as we are, but they can be repaired. The treasure within us is our faith. Believe n yourself means rely on yourself, when in actuality we need Jesus to guide us through our life.

We are the light of the world, because we are God's representatives. We show God's light by ministering to others. Currently with the hurricane and flooding in Texas, we have an excellent opportunity to show God's light by assisting those that are hurting in Texas and beyond. We show grace to others, forgive actions of others and withhold our judgments. We need to be available for the hurting.

We seek God, actually pursue God for our understanding of him. For the the peace that he can only give, our hunger increases as we want to know more of him and to be in communion with him. A deep long g to be embraced by him. Our hunger can be delpleted through benign neglect, through not spending time in the Word. For me I am not sure that fasting would sharpen my focus.

Our afflict actions are minor and it is something that in faith we need to give it to God. In the long run w will be with our father in heaven and all,our afflictions will be healed. Suffering can make or break us. While we are suffering, turn it to God. He is the only one that can see us through our suffering. He is our steady source of comfort. Turn to him and listen to what he has to say.

To begin with I am going to answer questions backwards. Many believers remain spiritual infants, because they do not take the time to communion with God. While they have knowledge of who Christ is, they have not learned the deeper meaning of being a believer. Of worshipping Him, by studying his word. When we have exposure to God's presence we are continually renewed I. Our life. We have hope of better things to change e, we have faith that all things will work out. By continually going to God in worship and and study we will get to know his ways and thoughts and we will continue to strive to be like Jesus.

To behold God's glory is to be able to see and experience it in our life. I have experienced it through a peace and understanding that his presence was with me. I have also experienced his glory when by looking at nature and the awesomeness of his creation. The on a regular basis to experience it is for me to be in the word, just plain ole worship and praise and in constant prayer. Everyday Lord, Everyday.

Jesus' authority is great. There is no limit. He has been given full access and authority as granted by His Father in heaven. Jesus has given us this same authority in his name. There are actually no limits, except what we have limited ourselves.

Jesus' glory came through when he did not fight back but gave credit to his father who n heaven. He knew that his time was coming so he proclaimed the truth. But at the same time he was in. Deep prayer with God. The guard and the thief saw how much Jesus a was suffering, but yet did not complain or lambast his persecutors. God's glory is seen by answered prayers, easing of suffering, the peace that he can only give and our faith in him that all will be well.

Jesus glowed with the Holy Spirit while with his Holy Spirit. At the same time we show this glory of the Holy Spirit while we are well I tuned with our Holy Father. He showed his glory through his miracles, as these miracles by God open our eyes to him who is all powerful.

Jesus' glory and kingly authority began when he was in heaven seated at the right hand of our Father in heaven. They were hidden on this earth as Jesus wanted to call attention to his ministry more than his being. His kingly authority are present through his miracles and answered or unanswered prayers.
