Glorifying Jesus
"He will glorify me, for He will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you." Jn 16:14
Jesus was speaking of the Holy Spirit in this passage of scripture. The Spirit of Truth who would take of what belonged to Jesus and reveal it to the disciples, leading them into all truth and declaring things to them that were coming. This scripture really struck me this morning that the word the Holy Spirit heard from Jesus, He would declare the same, and by it Jesus would be glorified.
We all have a desire to glorify Jesus and if I get this passage right, we do so by declaring the word. God declared in Isaiah 55:11 about the word of His mouth: "so shall my word be that goes forth out of mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it."
When we declare God's word, we are agreeing with Truth and this glorifies Him and His word. Confession of the word is a large part of our faith and in declaring His word, we actually prophesy His word into the atmosphere. God's word is eternal and He honours His word even above His Name for He is a covenant keeping God who never breaks His word. It is His bond with us and inherent with His creative power. We only release that power, when by faith we receive the word and declare it. When it comes to pass, as God has declared, it brings Him glory and praise.
We have a choice. We either speak God's word and agree or we go against truth and agree with our enemy. satan is a legalist and when we agree with him, he has a legal claim to bring our words to pass in our life. For example, if we declare lack in our lives instead of speaking the truth, "and my God shall supply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (PHIL 4:19), satan can bring lack into our lives.
The other way we can glorify God is to do His works on earth. Jesus said, "I have glorified you on earth. I have accomplished the work you have given me to do." When God directs us to pray for someone and we are bold enough to lay hands on them and release His healing into their body, for by His stripes we are healed, their healing will bring glory and thanksgiving to God.
Let us follow Jesus and take what is His, all the promises, and release them on earth, so that glory can rise from hearts to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
