Epistle - Corinthians on the Glory - Part I

In the New Covenant, our primary ministry as it was lay down is the ministry of transformation of the heart level. We seldom talk about this, usually we stop at being saved and given new life, but this is the beginning of the process. Our life time is really about working that inner weight of glory in us which is unseen by the naked eye, but it is increasing as we cultivate our lives before Christ. When the resurrection of the dead comes that glory accumulated in us will be maifested outwardly thorugh our resurrection body. And so the glory now in the New Testament although mostly is unseen, but it is accumulative within our earthen vessel (our bodies). Paul urges us to live before the judgement seat of Christ, because God judges all things we labor and busy for in this life as to reward us. Really is saying to live in being conscience of all of our action are producing more glory within our frame, and at the end of days before Christ, Jesus will see and reward according to that glory within. I believe that's why you can meet someone without meeting themn previously you can know where they are at with The Lord, in their spirits they carry that weight of glory, it speaks of their spiritual authority and spiritual power. Paul says the Kingdom is not mere talk, but about power authority that you walk in.

So the NT ministry is really focusing on a progressive increasing glory that each individual needs to cultivate upon, as in the Old the glory is literal yet fading and condemning. Now we received the Spirit that imputs righteousness and gives life to us, so we are free from all debts and condemnation, the light no longer is manifesting in a physical way to judge our bodies like in Moses time because we have right standing with God through Jesus Christ. Now it is focuing on beholding the face of The Lord Jesus Christ which is shining the light ray of the knowledge of God which will transform us from glory to glory by and through the Spirit of God. In the New Covenant, our game in life is to build the relationship with the Holy Spirit, which will teach us about who God is and the glory of who He is, and bring us into that encounter and experience so that we will be transformed into that image of God, and it'll just go from one degree to another. As we experience and received more and more, that glory we carry within will be more and more Christ-like, and our face will be shining the knowledge of God just as the Son of God is. The whole point of our exisitance in this living life is to be transformed into the image of the Son of God. And God will send calamities and hardship in the way to speed up the process, because through pressing it'll thrust us deeper and faster in the process of transforming. The main thing Paul stresses is inwardly study and experience through and by the Holy Spirit on the lesson of God, then through trials let it test that knowledge so you can be approved by God. Paul urges us to focus on the things unseen now yet will last forever (This cultivative glory within you/this image of God), and not what is seen right now. Be a man walk in the Spirit, build that intimate relatiosnhip with Holy Spirit, then study diligently the word of God, finally get ready to pass any examine God put before you, take it as a training to receive more glory.
