OUR HEART - HIS DWELLING PLACE


34) Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, & the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35) And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, & the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

That is the Shekinah glory.

We need to empty our hearts of pride, selfishness, self-seeking, & anything that is contrary to God's laws. The Holy Spirit will then fill every area of your heart. You will be a light to the world. We do not want to be filled with anything else. To be filled with the Shekinah Glory of the Lord is wonderful but, we must be empty of ourselves before we can have the filling of the Shekinah Glory!

If were not filled with the Holy Spirit we wouldn't even know how to us the Bible, which is our sword! We would have a mighty army of the Lord. We could do battle & be very victories over the enemy. We cannot defeat the devil with our experiences, theories. So draw the Sword of the Holy Spirit. Put on the whole armor of God.
