Living and Operating from the Realm of Glory

This church (The Ark) is called to carry and manifest the glory of God - and the same was preached to us at our Anniversary Celebration Service. Two days later, God used another Prophet friend of mine from another country to speak the same thing - that I am a glory carrier and as a result, you will be too, and this church is called to carry and manifest the glory of God. We have been experiencing a mighty move of God in this church, but remember this is just the beginning - there is so much more in store for us! CHANGE IS GOOD. We should be excited for what’s coming. Amen!

The Meaning of the Glory of God

Psalm 29:1 | Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.

The glory is not just the presence of God - glory is different from presence - glory goes beyond presence. The Glory of God is the visible manifestation of His attributes and His character. Think of everything you see: the sun, stars, the ocean, a spectacular eagle – all display God's glory. Nothing is hidden from it. Nothing can hide from God's glory. Darkness will be exposed in the Glory of God. The Jewish word for God's radiance was called Shekinah glory. Shekinah means to dwell or reside with. The glory of God resides with humanity so that we can experience it.

What is glory? The dictionary definition of glory is praise and honor. We see glory in sports as people shout and cheer for their favorite team or player. We see glory for celebrities, as the cameras flash their picture and people scream and want their autograph. But the Glory of God is different. In this Psalm 19:1, David points out the two areas where God is revealing Himself. “The heavens declare the glory of God.” It’s probably hard for us to even comprehend, but the universe and God’s creation testify and display the Glory of God.

Think about it – the original design was for us to live in a glorious world and live with a Glorious God. But because sin entered the world through Adam and Eve, you and I have the desire to live for ourselves and for our own glory. We may want things our way and take credit for what only God can produce. We want others to glorify us. We may try to do things our own way – and time and time again – we will fail.

Our only hope is for the God of glory to invade our lives and rescue us. That’s why God sent His only son Jesus to earth, to die for all of our sins. And because of what Jesus has done for us – our response should be to praise and thank Him and give Him all the Glory. This should be a daily response in all we do and all we say.

Psalm 113:3-4 says, | “From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.”

How to Live for and in God's Glory

Very early on in my journey, God told me that I am called to not just witness or experience the glory from time to time but I’m called to LIVE from the realm of glory: this is a very different way of living - it goes against all human understanding and logic. This means that EVERY aspect of our lives should glorify the name of God - not just certain areas but EVERY area. I have to surrender all areas of my life to Him. Recall about presenting our lives on the altar as a living sacrifice.

How does a person glorify God? No question is more practical or more significant. The supreme purpose in life for any man or woman—for anyone who has ever been born into this world—is to glorify God. That is what living is all about. Glorifying God is the end result of the Christian life. Spiritual maturity is simply concentrating and focusing on the person of God until we are caught up in His majesty and His glory.

Holiness is KEY: in speech, thoughts, the places we go to, the friends we keep, lifestyle according to the Bible, and even dressing as well. As holy people, we want everything about us, including our appearance, to point to Christ. Thus, we would dress and act more conservatively than most non-Christians. Our appearance should not draw undue attention to us, and it should lend credibility to our testimonies. GOD is holy, and because of His holiness, people, places, and objects can also be holy or unholy. There are holy people, places, and objects just as there are unholy people, places, and objects, and the Bible states this. This space is a holy space - it is the house of God! This residence (Kuala Lumpur) and the one in Singapore are meant to be holy places!

This is why I am very strict and intentional about how these spaces are navigated - it is the house of God. As the house of God, it has to be treated as a holy place - has to be treated with reverence, or the glory of God cannot come and linger in this place. This is not a place where people gather to gossip, where lawlessness and chaos occurs; this is not a social club. During church hours, this is not even the family’s dwelling space - it is the house of God! If there is no order, the glory of God cannot come and rest. I am very particular about what happens in this space a few hours before the service and during the service - after that, it’s a home, but even then, it needs to be managed carefully. You may not completely understand these things and may not even agree, but it’s ok - you don’t have to understand all things nor do you have to agree with all things. If you trust my leadership, you will just have to submit.

There are things God shows me which many can’t see - there’s wisdom God gives me which many do not understand - this is where you trust the leadership God has assigned to you. A lot of these things are for your protection and for the protection and well-being of the church as a whole. I have given counsel which seems like foolishness to man. Without holiness - we cannot see the glory of God - we cannot experience the glory of God. Without consecration, we also cannot see the Glory of God. If we still lie (no such thing as a white lie - it’s still a lie), if our lives are chaotic, if we are unreliable and untrustworthy, if we don’t have respect for God, his servants and His house, if our church attendance is not consistent, if we are slack concerning time management - we will not be able to house the Glory of God. God needs a clean vessel, a vessel of honor and order. The VESSEL has to be holy and uncontaminated - we are the vessel - we have to house the glory of God and we in turn are then called to raise people in the realm of glory. When you prophesy, you release the glory. When you worship lead, you bring down the glory and release the glory. This needs to be done in order - for example, here, someone who has not been mentored and authorized to move in the prophetic is not allowed to prophesy. This too is for protection - if things are not done in the correct order - the glory of God cannot fall. If we are chaotic, lawless, sinful - the glory cannot fall.

Honor, Rank, and Title

From the very start after my commissioning, God asked me to start going by the mantle of ‘Apostle.’ However, I said to people, “Oh, just continue to address me as Dr.” Recently, God used the visiting ministry to counsel me concerning this. I too need to be obedient to the Lord. God is dealing with me too - I cannot be stuck in my comfort zone or I’ll be in disobedience to God. Think about it this way - you don’t go to the hospital and call your doctor by their first name. You address him or her as Dr! Some people have a belief that ministry titles are not necessary or, in the words of some, "do not mean anything." Spiritual titles are connected to church government. Spiritual titles such as Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher, Elder, Bishop originated from the mind of God and not man! These titles help to describe who a person is, their rank, and what their responsibilities are within the confines of God's government and therefore the body of Christ. People certainly have abused these titles and the authority that has been given to them, but that does not negate the fact that they originated from the mind of God.

When I say rank, many will not understand the concept, but know that when Jonah was thrown into the sea, God "prepared" a fish to swallow Jonah. It was a special fish because of Jonah's rank, his anointing, his assignment. Demons understand rank, the military understands rank, but sadly many in the body do not. It has nothing to do with the flesh, but it’s about understanding spiritual leadership and the operation and flow of God's power. God has set some in the body as it has pleased Him. When we honor and respect what God has placed in the body, you will reap the reward of honor upon your life. Till this day, I still address my former leaders in the right order - even if my spiritual rank right now may have become higher than theirs - and never in my entire life have I been able to address my leaders by first name - I just couldn’t do it. I have a lot of very close friends in ministry and no matter how close we are, we still address each other by correct rank and title.

If you come and connect to this space, you will learn how to do things in the right order and in the right standing according to the word of God. I want all of you, committee members included, to address me as Apostle - be it in public, be it in private, or even when I am not there and you’re referring to me - it’s Apostle. And I want it not to be just lip service - I want you in your hearts to truly receive me as your Apostle, Prophet, Spiritual Mother, and leader, regardless of age and gender - just like the people had to receive Jesus, right? And not all received Him - there were the ones who rejected Him.

I want you to stick close to me, stand by me, support me and the vision God has given to me, and to build this work. Church, we are going to see some great things and it’s going to be amazing. The Ark, Kuala Lumpur - get ready! The Ark Singapore - get ready! Singapore is going to see many branches - the Lord has shown us this - we need to become a strong tree so to speak so that the branches can also be strong and healthy and be connected to a strong source - a strong tree with deep roots. Get ready, Ark church! We are going to see the glory of God like never before! It is in the glory that miracles, signs, and wonders happen. It is in the glory that the dead are raised. It is in the glory of God that creative miracles happen. These are the benefits of living in the glory! Hallelujah.

Honor is the currency of heaven

I thank God that this church is full of people who aspire to become people of honor and order - this is a blessed church. Honor is so important to God, and it opens up the heavens over your life. There is a measure of honor owed to all people, from children to the elderly, and from homeless people to kings. God put a treasure in everyone, and there is a level of honor owed to all - remember this.

Romans 13:7 | ‘Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour,’

God didn’t allow Jesus to do many miracles in his own hometown because of the people who knew Him there - familiarity, you see. They had a lack of honor, no faith, and were too familiar with Him.

Matthew 13:54-58 | ‘And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief,’.

Children of God, honor is the currency of heaven, and God requires us to pay with it. The Kingdom of God is built on honor. Every chance you get, honor the people right around you, and you will receive the treasure that God put inside of them for you! I mentioned earlier that the Glory of God is the visible manifestation of His attributes and His character. If God is Holy, we need to mirror that. If He is a God of order, we need to mirror that; if Honor is important to Him, we need to mirror that; and if God is Love, we need to mirror that.

Ways How We Can Glorify God

• Confess Your Sins.

  Confession of sin glorifies God. If you instead excuse your sin, you absolve yourself of responsibility and blame God for letting you get into a mess. Adam illustrates this. When God confronted him, what was his excuse? “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate” (Genesis 3:12). He was practically saying, “You did it, God. If you hadn't given me this woman, none of this would ever have happened." To do that is to blame God and thus to assign guilt to Him. But God is never at fault when we sin. Implying that He is somehow responsible maligns His holiness. So those who try to sneak out from under the absolute responsibility and accountability for their own sin commit a grievous sin against the glory of God. And then there are those who do not even feel remorse when they are in sin and rebellion. This is a very dangerous place to be - we do not want to become what the Bible refers to as a reprobate. A reprobate is a person rejected by God and is beyond hope of salvation. That is not our portion in God, Amen! We are accepted by Him - we are sons and daughters that have an inheritance in Him! Amen! 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The Greek word for “confess” is homologeo, meaning “to say the same thing.” To confess means to agree with God that sin is all our fault and to repent. That act glorifies God. We don’t have to beg God for forgiveness. He is faithful and just to forgive as soon as we agree with Him.

  
  

• Bear Fruit.

  In John 15:8 Jesus told the disciples, “My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit.” Why? Because then the world can see the results of a Spirit-filled life. That is what we are here for—to put God on display to the world. Colossians 1:10 says, “Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work.” Good works are fruit. When we live a life of good works, the world will see and glorify our Father in heaven. How can you bear fruit? How can you be fruitful? You walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work.  

  
  

• Give Praise to God.

  Psalm 50:23 says, “He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me.” Praise honors God. One way to praise God is to give Him credit for everything. In 2 Samuel 12:26-31, when Joab won the victory against Rabbah and got possession of the enemy’s crown, he sent for David so he could present the crown to him. This is a good illustration of how the Christian should act toward the Master. You win a victory in your life, but you don’t wear the crown. You give it to the Lord, who has won the victory for you.

  
  

• Be Content.

  We may be discontented about ourselves and our circumstances. But who made us? God. And He promises to supply all our needs. When we are content, we acknowledge God’s sovereignty in our lives, and that gives Him glory. If we are discontented, it’s the same as questioning God’s wisdom. That doesn’t glorify Him. Paul testified, “I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am” (Philippians 4:11). Paul was confident that God would use all things—poverty as well as abundance, comfort as well as pain—for Paul’s good and God’s glory (Romans 8:28). He didn’t say, “I’ll give God glory in spite of my pain.” He said, “I will give God glory because of it.” A Christian who is discontented for any reason—job, spouse, finances—is a terrible testimony about the goodness of our God. What kind of God do we have? Is He really sovereign? Can He really be trusted? Glorifying God means that we praise Him with absolute contentment, knowing that our lot is God’s plan for us now.

  
  

• Pray According to God’s Will.

  Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son” (John 14:13). Jesus’ name signifies all that He is and all that He would want. Praying in His name means praying in accordance with His character and His will. And God delights to reveal His glory in answered prayer. That is why He commands us to pray—so He can show us His greatness and we can give Him the praise He’s worthy to receive.

  
  

• Proclaim God’s Word.

  Paul wrote, “Brethren, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you” (2 Thessalonians 3:1). How was the Word glorified through those believers? Because they heard it and believed. They trusted Christ and were born again—and God got the glory. Presenting the Word clearly and accurately always gives Him glory. Every time a Sunday school teacher teaches a class of kids, every time a Bible study leader opens the Word in someone’s living room, every time a father sits down with his family and starts talking about the Word of God, God is glorified. We honor Him by making His Word known and understood.

  
  

• Lead Others to Christ.

  God also gets glory when people are redeemed. He is glorified when Satan’s prison is broken open and men and women are turned loose from the power of the evil one. People are saved from their sins in order to give God glory. So the more people who get converted, the more thanksgiving is going on, and the more there are in the choir singing, “Hallelujah!” (2 Corinthians 4:15). Good work includes soul-winning - we ALL need to be soul winners. I’ve already preached on the Great Commission. It is time that we go out and do this - none of us is an exception.

  
  

  And if we do all these things and live entirely for Christ - we then become glory carriers. What does it mean to be a glory carrier? It simply means a man or woman of God who displays His manifest presence. Can you imagine - you can carry the glory of God within you? When you pray, people will be healed, demons will flee, people will be set free, strongholds will break, principalities in high places will be addressed, and when you walk into a place, the atmosphere will change.

Spiritual Atmospheres and the Glory of God

This church is not called to contend for spheres but for ATMOSPHERES - what does this mean exactly? I’m going to break it down for you today. Now, a spiritual atmosphere has the power to shape our lives - to confuse or inspire, to affirm or reject, to make us sad or happy, to restrict or empower. Atmosphere is another way of describing the mood or tone of a physical place. How do we know what atmosphere is ruling a given place? The Bible says that “the kingdom of God is… righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). Spiritual atmospheres are the invisible, heavenly forces that influence the physical world. They can be godly or ungodly and affect the mood, actions, and even the spiritual climate over a person or region. The Bible gives us insight into spiritual atmospheres in Ephesians 6:12 when Paul writes: “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Paul reminds us that the physical realm is just one part of the story. There are unseen forces at play. To succeed in spiritual warfare, we need to discern what’s going on around us and resist any demonic attacks. We need to be able to identify our spiritual atmosphere so we will know how to pray.

Understanding Spiritual Atmosphere

You need to understand how spiritual atmospheres affect you. There are Godly and Ungodly Atmospheres. Scripture tells us, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Not all atmospheres are evil. Godly atmospheres exist too, and these spaces are where the Lord’s truth resides. But how can you tell if you’re encountering an atmosphere in the first place? Have you ever walked into someone’s home and felt peace, or stepped into a church and felt God’s presence? Moments like these indicate a godly atmosphere has shifted your mood. These atmospheres invite the Lord to surround and refresh us in tangible ways. On the flip side, ungodly atmospheres are inhabited by the demonic. These are areas filled with negative broadcasts being sent out over the airwaves. You can imagine these atmospheres as radio stations, spreading satanic messages all over the world. It’s important to recognize these demonic signals so we can reject their influence. This is why I am very careful and intentional about where I go and where I don’t go. It is so important to realize that we live in 2 worlds simultaneously here on earth. I am not talking about your everyday life and your digital life, but I am referring to the natural world and the spiritual world. These are two worlds that are constantly colliding and impacting one another, and we stand in the middle. There is a spiritual atmosphere surrounding you that will ‘push back’ at you – spirit, soul, and body. Because people don’t recognize this, they will often internalize the struggle and paint themselves as the problem or source of the confusion, even though Ephesians 6 clearly states that our struggle is not with flesh and blood.

People don’t understand why some spiritual (and natural) actions are easier in some places than in others, and why certain thoughts hit them in some places and times and not others, and why certain motivations and blockages arise in some places and not others. Because of this spiritual atmospheric phenomenon, there can be a lot of unanswered questions! And unfortunately, because people are not trained to understand this, they will go one of two directions: First, they will say everything is because of a spiritual influence - everything is either God or the devil. Which isn’t true - some things are just people being people. And the second mistake is to assume that everything is because of the choices of people. Which isn’t true either - sometimes people and circumstances get caught up in spiritual crossfire (or blessing). This is a topic that is worthy of sincere examination and application for our everyday lives. Understanding how spiritual atmospheres and environments can affect us, and we can affect them, will change so much about our minds, homes, work, church, community, and even nation(s). The Word of God might not work without understanding and addressing the spiritual environment it is delivered into. Don’t be ignorant - yes, there are some environments where the Word of God is ineffective! But the good news is that there is a solution! God has given us the ability to change spiritual environments so that they are conducive to whatever God’s Word and Will is.

How to Change, Shift, and Dominate Spiritual Atmospheres

Listen to me carefully: There is always a war going on for the ATMOSPHERE around you. Always. Ephesians 2:2 says: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience …”.

Did you notice? The enemy is the prince of the power of the AIR. The prince, but an unholy one… and NOT the King. Jesus is the King, and all things are under His feet. Everything in Heaven and earth belongs to Jesus. The enemy just tries to steal whatever he can. So why does the enemy want to steal power over the AIR around you? Because if he has access to the air around you – your ATMOSPHERE, in other words – he can send his evil minions – demons – to infiltrate it. Those demons cannot possess you if you have given your life to Christ. But they CAN sit in the air around you. And from that position, they whisper their evil lies in your ear. That’s why it’s so important to protect – no, dominate over – your spiritual atmosphere. Dominate over the air around you.

Steps to Dominate Your Spiritual Atmosphere

1. Cleanse and anoint your house/office/church/school, etc.

2. Lift up the name of Jesus. The absolute most powerful way to win in spiritual warfare—and also how to dominate your atmosphere—is to continually lift up the name of Jesus.

3. Ask God to make you aware— Sometimes the cultural darkness in our area is so pervasive we become accustomed to it, unintentionally yielding to it because to us it feels normal. The first step is becoming aware; the Holy Spirit heightens our awareness when we ask Him.

4. Cultivate discernment— Scripture tells us to “watch and pray” (Matthew 26:41). As we do, we will more quickly recognize and discern darkness, which makes it easier to resist at its onset (James 4:7).

5. Resist encroaching darkness— We never have to yield the atmosphere of our hearts or homes. Here are some solid resisting techniques:

   Pray— Immediately ask the Lord to intervene. Thank Him for His power at work in your life in spite of how things appear. We don’t have to be afraid. This is why we also have an intercessory team.

   Worship— Sing to the Lord or turn on worship music.

   Speak out Scripture— It’s living, active, and powerful (Hebrews 4:12), and Jesus defeated Satan for 40 days in the wilderness via Scripture. We can, too.

6. We need to deal with our own hearts— Sometimes we bear the bad attitude or allow offense or unforgiveness into our hearts. When we humbly examine ourselves and ask the Lord to point the log in our own eye (Matthew 7:5), God moves, as He always gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).

7. Invite God's presence into the space— If the hills melt like wax at the presence of the Lord (Psalm 97:5), then surely the hills of anger, confusion, and oppression in our homes will melt as well. Tell Him that you desire His presence in your home.

   
   

   The atmosphere of our own lives and homes have to change first if we are to change other atmospheres. The discerning of Spirits is very important in order to change spiritual atmospheres. Ark Church, you are called to change the atmospheres of cities, regions, and nations! Understand this very well. Do not underestimate who and what you can become in the Lord!

Changing Landscapes

The landscape is changing. What does this mean, Lord? Landscape: by us being here right in the middle of the heart of Kuala Lumpur and in Singapore currently - there is a purifying coming to these cities - a cleansing that precedes revival. The Bible is replete with references to sacred landscapes, where the presence of God is tangibly felt. Mount Sinai, the Jordan River, and the Garden of Gethsemane are just a few examples of these places that serve as conduits for divine encounters. This church will be a sacred landscape too. Spiritual landscapes are not just about religion but open out spaces that can be inhabited.

The Biblical Importance of Places

The Bible has much to say about places and their spiritual importance. There are two central themes in the Old Testament: the relationship between the Israelites and the land – they were God’s people in God’s land – and their clear conviction that God was shaping their history. His involvement in both their communal history and individual lives dominates from Genesis to the prophets.

The story of the land begins with Abraham, who was called to leave the place he knew to go to the land that God would show him (Genesis 12:1). Even once his descendants were settled in Egypt, the promise was not forgotten. The book of Exodus has a renewal of the promise of a place for the Israelites that was ‘good and spacious’ (Exodus 3:8). The Israelites then spent the next 40 years moving slowly towards the possession of that land. However, as Moses pointed out, it was the presence of God among his people that was even more important (Exodus 33:15). God gave clear instructions in the law regarding how the land was to be inhabited; it was God’s and the Israelites were the tenants. Once the Israelites had taken possession of the land, they quickly realized that it was not possession that would bring fulfillment, but the correct use of it, according to Levitical law. God was concerned about where the Israelites lived, but he was also concerned about justice and compassion. Because the Israelites did not prioritize those things, they lost the land and spent many years in exile. The eventual restoration of their relationship with God was sealed by the restoration of the land. It was, therefore, not just a backdrop to the history of the people of God; it was far more significant than that. It was a divine gift and a symbol that demonstrated the proof of their relationship with God. The land showed that they were dependent on God and that God was dependable. It was also a gauge, demonstrating the spiritual health of the Israelites. The way that they dealt with issues of the land, its use, and distribution was an indicator of their trust and reliance on God.

The Strong Sense of Place in the New Testament

The second chapter of Matthew chronicles three places in which Jesus and his family spent time – places that were important not only in the life of Jesus but also in the history of the world. Matthew starts with Bethlehem. Bethlehem means ‘place of bread,’ so it seems appropriate that the one who called himself the Bread of Life should be born there. It is a town with royal history as King David’s place of birth, and now the angels announce the birth of the Messiah there too. After the visit of the Magi, Joseph is warned to take the child and his mother to Egypt, which becomes a place of refuge not for the first time in Jewish history. It was a 75-mile journey to the border, and many Jews were already living there, outside of Herod’s jurisdiction. Joseph is given urgent and precise instructions and told not to come back until commanded. God is protecting his Messiah. The family finally returns to Nazareth. Matthew takes us on this convoluted journey with the young family to show us that Jesus was born and grew up where he was supposed to. The intention is to develop Matthew’s theme of the fulfillment of scripture. Jesus was reared as a small-town boy in an agricultural, politically insignificant, and religiously orthodox community. It was a despised place – to be a Nazarene incited contempt and insult. The predictions of the Old Testament stated that the Messiah would emerge from a humble background and that he would be scorned and rejected; Nazareth, in part, did this for him. Place was important to Matthew, and he shows that every move was in continuity with the purposes and promises of God. Place is important - and how that place is stewarded is also important. This is why I’m very strict and intentional about how we manage the house of God- what can happen and cannot happen in this space. This place is meant to house the glory of God!

How to Know When to Move

Only move from a place IF and WHEN God tells you to - be it from a job, from a church, from a house, or from a country. The timing has to be right. If he says NOW and you delay, you might miss it, but if He says wait and you prematurely move, you’re in trouble. We moved here to the city because God told us to, and now was the time for us. If we waited, we could be in delay, or we could have missed it entirely. If we moved prematurely, we wouldn’t be under God’s umbrella of protection and favor, as we would have been in misalignment and disobedience. There’s a reason and purpose as to why God placed this church in this locale. We will change, shift, and dominate this atmosphere because remember - we are called to contend for atmospheres! We will change the spiritual landscape of this place. We are called to house the glory of God - we are called to be glory carriers. I told you once how God showed me that people will come from near and far - they will hear of the move of God that we are experiencing, and they will come! Get ready, Ark Church!

Prayer

Father God, thank you for choosing our leader, our church, and each one of us to carry and house the manifestation of Your glory in the world. Lead and guide us in the way we should go. We want to see and experience Your shekinah glory in our day as we pursue you to change, shift, and dominate atmospheres. We are grateful for your Spirit empowering us to help us do Your will, always. Thank you, Lord Jesus, Amen
