Yahveh is “the King of glory” and He is the “Father of glory!” (Psalm 24:8, Ephesians 1:17) When we live and move and have our being in the Spirit, we are compelled and motivated in every fiber of our being to give our God and Savior glory for everything. (Acts 17:28) Even in judgment the angels cry out, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.” (see Revelation 4:8-11,15:4) They know that everything the King of Glory does is “working together for eternal good for those who love Him and are called according to His glorious purposes.” (see Romans 8:28)
“If we are living in the Spirit and “keeping His word we will never see death”, because our whole being is encapsulated in the glorious presence of the eternal Savior””
So, living in the Spirit and being “transformed from glory to glory”, even if circumstances are good or bad in human terms, is all good in the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18) It only elicits praise, honor, and glory to the Almighty who is “the author and perfecter of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:2) If we are living in the Spirit and “keeping His word we will never see death”, because our whole being is encapsulated in the glorious presence of the eternal Savior. We are “part of His body”, jointly fit together, immersed in, and transfigured by His enveloping life changing glory. (John 8:51, 1 Corinthians 12:27) We have been redeemed “to be crucified to the world and the world to us” so that we can ascend to the heights and be jointly fit together in the body of Yahshua (Jesus) who is seated at the right hand of the Father. (Galatians 6:14, Ephesians 4:16) We become unified with Messiah and unified with heaven’s hosts that is continually proclaiming, “Amen, blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might and dominion belong to our God forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:12)
May the power of Yahshua’s (Jesus’s) transforming love and glory cause you to transcend this earth, its pulls and preoccupations of your old nature, that is to be dead and crucified, so it is free to ascend like a butterfly. The butterfly begins as a worm, like our flesh nature, the worm is earthbound, it creeps along, it labors intensely for very little. When we are “born again” we are in the body of Yahshua (Jesus) and we are being transformed as that caterpillar. Our flesh is continually being put to death, crucified, and separated from the world. In the process of transcending our old nature, like the little caterpillar in the dark cocoon is no longer in the familiar places it use to move around, eat, and thrive on, it is now, so to speak, “fighting the good fight of faith”. (1 Timothy 6:12) It is working with every fiber of its being to be released from that dark chrysalis. The caterpillar knows that when it comes forth it will be completely freed and the sting of death will be left behind in that old chrysalis. The caterpillar died in that fight to emerge as the symbol of the glorified new creation that points us to the eternal life as Yahveh’s children. If that little butterfly doesn’t exert itself, it cannot develop the wings to ascend and fly to fulfill its glorious commission, to not only be freed from the cocoon, but to fly unbelievable amounts of miles far, far away from that cocoon, never to return or look back to it again.
We as “born again” “new creations” are “fighting the good fight of faith”, struggling to get free from all the flesh and its old natural tendencies and desires for the things of this earth. We thank Yahveh for our trials and tribulations of having to exert such power to get out of the cocoon of this flesh. We are being transformed from glory to glory until we emerge, set free completely from this flesh, completely from being under the pull of the gravity of this world, and all that keeps our focus downward. We are like the butterfly, the glorious new creation that can fly away higher and higher above all that use to be part of this life in our flesh nature. Now we are transformed into something so new and so glorified that its very existence is a glory to the Creator. This supernatural mystery, has been made known to those who have gone through the process and are transfigured and free from the flesh and the world. We will ascend the heights of new glory continually until at last we arrive at the Heavenly Kingdom where the King of Glory is waiting for His children to be united as one with Him forever. Yahshua (Jesus) “the Son of God” became “the Son of Man”, so that we, the sons and daughters of man could become “the sons and daughters of Yahveh”. (John 3:16, Mark 2:24, 2 Corinthians 6:18) He became one of us so that we could be one with Him. Basically Yahveh is saying this is the big exchange, will you pay the price to truly follow Yahshua (Jesus) so that you can be faithful children born again of His Spirit?
“Although many will not be severed and freed to the degree that some are Yahshua (Jesus) will see our faith, as a struggling butterfly trying to get out of a cocoon, and He will free us where we are””
The Holy Spirit is the one who is working within you to set you free, to transform you from glory to glory to ascend new found heights into His Kingdom. (See 1 Timothy 6:12, Galatians 5:17) Although many will not be severed and freed to the degree that some are Yahshua (Jesus) will see our faith, as a struggling butterfly trying to get out of a cocoon, and He will free us where we are. He will be looking for our faith that is making every effort to be found pure, spotless, and blameless. Those will be released unto eternal life, HalleluYAH, through the blood of the Lamb. “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 1:5-6)
After all is said and done we were created to bring glory to our Father who is the King of glory. “All glory, honor, dominion, and praise belongs to Him and that glory must go only to Him now and forever. In the book of Revelation we read, “And all the angels … fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God saying, “Amen, blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen.” (Revelation 7:11-12)
“Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, For Your righteous acts have been revealed.” (Revelation 15:4)
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)
“Not unto us, O Yahveh, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.” (Psalm 115:1)
