Finishing my thoughts on a Holy Spirit bath. There's a deep need in us lately to relax in the presence of the Lord. At his Presence is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.

Been reading lately of Jonathon's Edwards and the end of things designed by God. His purpose in creating, setting man on the earth, sending His Son to redeem, according to Edwards is ultimately His Glory. You know, if you've tasted what we are talking about here. Glory being a tangible presence of peace and order, the knowledge of all perfection, and rest that comes when Jesus passes by. Don't go without this.

It's like Moses asking humbly from the mountain and the cloud, "Lord, show me your glory." Pass by me Lord and let me linger. When the father said yes, is was just a glimpse. "You may see my back, but no one can see my face and live." When the Lord passed by--the glory was His name--full of goodness and truth, loving, merciful, ever forgiving with perfect justce. It caused Moses to fall down and worship, which I am sure you have done if your have been there.

There's a hunger in this generation to taste something of God that really satisfies. They are after His Glory. And the end of all things, according to Edwards reading of Scripture, is that the earth be filled with that Glory. Jesus was all about glorifying the Father--glorify your name.

The Glory here is the extension of the goodness of God. The sharing of Himself, the replication of perfection, immulation, efulgence, the rubbing off and effusion of the divine nature. God's goodness demands to be shared on the earth, jealously yearns for communion with creation, and is ultimately destined to bring many sons to this glory.

Have you tasted it lately. Have you lingered in His presence. Have you come to know Him and desire a tangible meeting with the Father as Moses did on the mountain. That's where I'm at after a long week of work--every prayer answered, every need met, every dream fulfilled, yet still drawn to a presence of Jesus larger, sweeter, peacefuller and fuller than anything we can see here. Show us your Glory.
