The Glory of the Son of Man (continued)

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Glory of the Son of Man” – God receives no glory when nations war against each other. Wars have left many nations restless, suffering, and in desolation. When this happens, famine is widespread, and thousands die for lack of medical attention. In many instances, thousands die of preventable diseases and infections because wars have killed many of their physicians; this makes it impossible to deliver even the most basic life-saving treatments to the wounded and suffering. During this time, there is a great opportunity for the Glory of the Son of Man to shine in the lives of His children. The people of God are acquainted with the power of God to heal. King David said, “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities [weaknesses]; who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:2-3).

Precious Ones, we must pray that our God would deploy (send more) troops that have a relationship with Jesus. What a mighty awakening it would be if only one company of Spirit-filled people were to march through afflicted, war-torn areas of the world and heal the people in the Name of Jesus! Instead of Christians sitting on their seats of judgment, debating whether or not it is wrong to join the United States military, we should remind ourselves that if there ever was a time for God to manifest His glory in His Sons to the world, that time is now!

Chosen Ones, we do not live in a perfect world. Therefore, we should not be blind to the concerns of the world that we inhabit. I will bring this lesson back next week, but I leave you with this thought – Mordecai and Esther were also children of God who lived during a time when Israel was in captivity as one of King Ahasuerus’ 127 provinces (see Esther 1:1-2). Remember, when Queen Esther was in a position to stop the annihilation of her people, Mordecai did not command and encourage her to turn a blind eye to what the devil (Haman – Esther 3:6) was doing. On the contrary, Mordecai encouraged Esther now was the time for the Glory of God to shine through her. Mordecai said, “thou art come to [be queen in] the kingdom [of Ahasuerus] for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).

I love you all SO very much.
In His Love,

Pastor William L. McCoy
