This Week's Word of Faith

Inside Out

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

(2 Corinthians 3:18)

 Have you ever thought about the fact that man is the only creature God created who has to wear clothing to cover himself?  All the other creatures grow their own coverings.  Some grow fur, some feathers, others scales, or leathery hide.  But all are clothed from the inside out!

Most people don't realize it, but in the beginning man was clothed that way too.  He was made in the image of God.  And, if you'll look in Ezekiel 8:2, you'll find that God is clothed in fire from the loins up and from the loins down. That fire is His glory emanating outward from His innermost being.

When man was first created, he was like that too.  He was covered with the very glory of God.  It radiated from his inner being outward.  That's why he had no sense of nakedness until after he sinned and the glory departed from him.

It was a tragic day when man lost that glorious covering.  But I want you to know something today.  It's not lost forever.  The Word of God says we can gain it back. 

You see, when you put your faith in the blood of Jesus and were born again, the glory of God once again took up residence in you.  It may be well hidden right now, but believe me, it's in there.

And the Bible says that as you gaze into the Lord's face by studying the Word and fellowshipping with Him, as you renew your mind to understand who you are in Christ, you'll be changed into His image on the outside as well.  As you learn to hear His voice and obey it, you'll start giving outward expression of the glory within you.  Little by little, you'll be turned inside out!

Instead of simply staring into your closet every morning, spend some times gazing at Jesus and beholding His Word.  Let Him clothe you in His radiant presence.  Once His glory starts shining through, anything you wear will look beautiful on you.

As a lot of "junk" keeps being posted in the Guestbook, I have decided to remove it.  I have deleted and deleted this junk and they just keep post more.

The main thing is that people are brought closer to God.
