From my notes I present a digested Sermon at our Church Sunday Morning

No matter how much God has
done for you, there is still twisted thinking about the goodness of God. We must remind ourselves that nothing can
separate us from God’s Love.
At times we
separate ourselves especially when we have a “Bad Day.” We may argue and fight on the
way to church, and when we arrive, we put on our church face.
We must reconcile between the doing of
service and our “feelings.” It is time
to separate all the “Stuff” that troubles us.
Posture yourself to enter into His presence and separate all else from your
mind. Focus on Jesus. The veil was torn down that separated us from
the Holy of Holies. We may now boldly enter
in.
We are soon entering into the
Easter Season. Every day we need to
recognize Jesus not only died for us, but He is alive and He IS risen.
The Holy Spirit causes fear
to leave. It must go. Do not fret and be willing to wait patiently. Perfect love casts out fear. Be free from all that which causes you to
fear.
Commit and trust. Psalms 37:5 Commit your way unto the LORD; trust also in
him; and he shall bring it to pass.
People need to hear the
gospel truth, because there are many needs for a miracle. God wants to take care of our needs, what
ever they are.
As a church we must be flexible
for God to heal during the service. We
have several testimonies of healing during today’s service.
We lay hands and expect Him to heal and make us whole. We are NOT moved by what we see; if healing is not manifested immediately. Many were healed by Jesus, as they went.
Jesus was anointed to do the
works of God and He sends us to continue His works.
Anointing is when God uses
man or woman and the glory of God shows up.
We have to expect God to show up.
We declare we are in the Holy of Holies right now.
Habakkuk saw that glory. Habakkuk 1:1 The
divine revelation that the prophet Habakkuk saw; And he was filled with
the knowledge of the Lord.
Our city needs the “Glory of
God. If you are not in a relationship
with God, then you won’t understand.
With Knowledge comes understanding that God’s glory is here. Be aware of it.
Question: Did you “feel” the presence of God? Some sense his presence differently. He confirms His Word with signs following.
Even an unbeliever will recognize that God
was there. We see the miracle of
salvation and that is awesome. We need
to change the way we talk with unbelief.
Know the Glory of God is real and can’t be denied.
It is important to “know
Jesus,” and signs and wonders will come.
God appeared to the children
of Israel
as a consuming fire. Moses entered the
glory.
Exodus 24:16-18 The glory of the LORD rested on Mount Sinai , and the cloud covered it for six days; and
on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. And to the
eyes of the sons of Israel
the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the
mountain top. Moses
entered the midst of the cloud as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on
the mountain forty days and forty nights.
God desires to show up today
as he did on Mt Sinai.
Some enter our church and
feel God’s presence so thick. The
reality is that God has taken up residence in the individuals and we carry it
out to our neighborhoods.
The Pastor does not have to
bare the responsibility of everything, because the Glory of God rests on the
people who carry His glory.
Leviticus 9:24 And
there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the
burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted,
and fell on their faces.
At Pentecost there were
tongues of “Fire” and the people became the sacrifice and the Holy spirit came down
and consumed them. They then carried the
glory outside the room where they were assembled.
We could bring in some
evangelists who walk in a heavy anointing, but we can partake of that now. God is raising up prophets and evangelists
in this house as we continue to be in His presence.
Step into the Glory of God
and allow Him to consume you. He will
separate those things that are not necessary in your life. The whole earth was filled with His presence
. . . Lord cover our city, cover our State and cover our Nation with a fresh
and new manifestation of God’s presence.
Harvest is here. God is calling people to Oroville. He has declared this is His land.
Before you show up for
church, posture your heart to be prepared to enter the Glory. Each of us need to step out in faith and be obedient
to the Holy Spirit.

Powerful and inspiring. Praying for this entire land.
Wow! I would have loved to have been in that service! I would surely have been one of the first to step forward for physical healing. It is wonderful that we can feel this kind of glory anywhere we are, though, because God's Spirit abides in us, individually, and His glory is poured out upon us, as we enter His presence with 100% submission and obedience. Thanks for sharing, Hazel.
