Most Christians have heard of the giant Goliath, but fewer are familiar with Og. Og was the king of Bashan, and a descendant of the giants, who fought against Israel. God delivered Og into the hands of Israel and Moses defeated him.

Numbers 21:33
And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and og the king of bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at edrei.

Og represents giants that stand in your way as you journey towards your inheritance. Og’s kingdom was on the eastern side of the Jordan, and Israel encountered him before they crossed the Jordan to possess the land of promise.

Deuteronomy 3:3
So the Lord our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

God delivered Og into the hands of Israel. I pray that every Og standing in your way would be delivered into your hands.

Deuteronomy 4:47
And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

Israel possessed the land of Og. Let every Og be driven out of your life, and let you possess his land.

Psalm 136:20
And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Let God’s mercy and lovingkindness be manifested in your life giving you victory over every Og.

Most Christians are familiar with GOLIATH, but here are the names of other GIANTS in the BIBLE. God will assist us in destroying and driving GIANTS out of the LAND… Here are the GIANTS: Anak, Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, Og, Emims, Zamzummins, Goliath, Ishbebenob, Sippai.

The Salt Covenant is rich in spiritual symbolism, and so important that for those who can see, it is visually demonstrated by the salting of the Temple sacrifices, which was to perpetually remind the faithful of their solemn Covenant responsibility to the LORD (Num.18:19). The LORD instructed the Israelites that every sacrifice, including grain offerings, was to be seasoned with salt as a sign of their Covenant with HIM (Lev. 2:13, Ezek. 43:23-24). Even the Holy ingredients used for the incense offering were to have salt added. “You shall make of these an incense, a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure and holy” (Ex. 30:34-35).

Salt represents purity, fidelity, and loyalty. Salt in the covenant meant that God’s people were to be pure and incorruptible in there covenant relationship with the LORD.

Zion, the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem is a place of ELEVATION, PERFECTION, and BEAUTY. It speaks of the RULE and EXCELLENCY OF GOD. It is an IMPREGNABLE STRONG CITY. Believers are connected to this city in the SPIRIT. It is a place of HOLINESS and GLADNESS. We are joined to this city through CHRIST, and have access to IT’S RIVER, LIFE, LIGHT, and BLESSING. It is far greater than the earthly Jerusalem, which was a type. It has replaced the earthly, and is a spiritual reality today. New Covenant people have access to this New Covenant city, and all the covenantal blessings associated with it, including peace, joy, healing, salvation, praise, glory, authority, power, and righteousness. This is the pace of our CITIZENSHIP. We enjoy the benefits of being Zion’s citizens (inhabitants).

The Church has witnessed many great revivals and renewals each ushering in great reformation. The Church has also witnessed many miraculous healings and miracles throughout her two thousand years on this earth. What the Church has not witnessed is the actual visitation of God manifested in His Shekinah Glory for about three and one-half years. Brother Fox, who was at Azusa around 1909 and then went to India as a missionary saw many great miraculous healings some even greater than those he witnessed at Azusa, but when he retired and moved back to Pisgah, he lamented that although he experienced many wonders of God while in India, he never experienced the Shekinah Glory that was present at Azusa.

A mist or cloud of varying intensity was present for about 3.5 years. Sometimes the cloud was so dense you felt like you could capture it. Sometimes the cloud went up from the building in the form of fire and linked with a fire coming down from heaven. The glory of God manifested as a cloud became known as Shekinah Glory from a Hebrew word meaning to dwell signifying that within the cloud dwelt the divine Presence of God.

The shekinah is a Hebrew word that is used to describe the “visible” manifestation of God’s glory. It is not found in the Hebrew text of the bible, but it is used in Jewish writings in reference to God’s glory that is described in the bible. The word means, “That which dwells.” It is often used to describe the manifest presence of God’s glory; in particular that visible luminous presence over the Mercy Seat or the pillar of fire that stood over the tabernacle.
I believe in the Glory of God and His manifest presence. I believe His glory will increase and His manifestation will become more intense in the days to come. But I do not believe the Church is so widely acquainted with the shekinah of God as we make out to be. But we will.
During the Azusa Street Revival (1906-1915) one eyewitness said, “There were times that the fire department came out—because outside observers reported flames on the roof.”

A story was related by David Garcia some 60 years after the Azusa street revival. “The story David Garcia began with was the Grand Central Station experience. David lived about a half a mile the other side of Grand Central Station and walked right by it coming to the Azusa Street Warehouse. One evening he ran to the meeting to find Frank Bartleman and told him that he needed to come to Grand Central Station. “Why? What’s going on there?” Bartleman asked out of curiosity.Brother Garcia, while trying to catch his breath, exclaimed, “You’ve got to come and see this! The anointing is far beyond where it had been in the past. You have to come down and see!”
Together Bartleman and Garcia ran down to the station that was a half a mile away from the warehouse. There they witnessed people come in from all over the world, get off the train, walk across the platform, and fall out in the Spirit often speaking in tongues—Someone commented that the phenomenon had been happening all day long.
When Garcia first saw the people laying all over the platform area, he thought it was a disaster until he realized what was going on and ran to find Bartleman. Frank had talked about a line or circle of blood—several blocks around the Azusa Warehouse—where the power of God extended outward. Several blocks before reaching the Warehouse, people were being healed, falling out in the Spirit, and speaking in tongues for the first time. This was first time God’s power had reached all the way to Grand Central Station. Although no miracles were taking place, the Presence and power of God, without question, had now moved out a half-mile from the actual warehouse!
Brother Garcia was awe struck by the Shekinah Glory that lingered for over three years at and around the Warehouse. He would tell me, “We have got to get the Shekinah back if we want to see a worldwide revival!”
When asked, “Did you ever see the flame?” He told that there were times he was coming to the meeting late and would see the flames as far away as Grand Central Station. Brother Garcia would think, “Whoo, God’s moving again,” and would run to Azusa because he knew that when the fire was falling, there was more power at the meeting and he wanted to be a part of it. He explained that the experience was greater than breathing pure oxygen. There were times the Shekinah Glory was only a foot high, and he would lie down in it to breathe God’s Glory.
He often stressed that the greater the Shekinah Glory, the greater the power. He would note that the flames were there when God, through Seymour (William Seymour), performed the miracles where a leg re-grew and another where an arm re-grew.
Garcia was there when the arm grew out. He said, “Brother Tommy, he didn’t have a ball joint in his shoulder, it had been ripped out of there. I was close enough to be looking right at the shoulder, and all of a sudden I saw the bones start to come out and then flesh started coming around them. His arm just shot out in what seemed mere seconds as I watched.” For Garcia, it seemed like he was watching in slow motion as he was awed at what God was doing.
Brother Garcia was the first to tell me of Seymour’s prophecy that in about 100 years there would be a return of the Shekinah Glory and a revival would surpass the works of God at Azusa.” This story was told by Tommy Welchel in the book “They Told Me Their Stories.”
Because of inconvenience the modern Church seams to settle for “correct” theology rather than hosting God’s Glory. But the day is coming when there will be widespread reuniting of the Church and the shekinah of God, not just sporadic incidents. God wants to acquaint us with Glory; that we might be adorned in Glory. “That He might present to Himself the Church in all her glory.” Eph. 5:27. The word glory in this verse is endoxos, which means “in glory”. He is going to present to Himself a bride “in glory”. Once again, I think it would necessitate the Church to become acquainted with “glory”.(from eagles on the border.com)

David’s prayers ended with a petition to see the earth filled with the Glory of God. His prayers would affect generations to come. It has always been the will of God for his glory to fill the earth. Prayer releases the glory of God.

God’s glory is his light, splendour, goodness, excellence, fame, power, and presence. Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory (Heb.1:3). Every nation can have access to this glory through the gospel. The gospel is called glorious.

2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

The glorious gospel releases LIGHT. Light shines in the darkness. Light drives out ignorance and brings blessing and prosperity. David was praying for the earth to be filled with the light and the glory of God. This comes through the preaching of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ.

Our prayer today is that the gospel would be preached with power in this and every generation. Let the light of the glorious gospel fill the earth. Let the people in darkness experience the light and glory of God. Let our prayers help release the glory of God to this generation and generations to come.

There are different levels of GLORY

1 Corinthians 15:40-41
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

Isaiah 56:7
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

We have been brought to Zion, and made joyful in the house of prayer. This is a part of our kingdom inheritance. Zion is synonymous with the Kingdom, and joyful prayer is a part of kingdom living.

God accepts our sacrifices of praise. Zion therefore is a place of praise, worship, and prayer. This should be normal in every church. EVERY CHURCH should have JOYFUL PRAYER

Isa.1:11-15

To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

God was tired of Israel’s vain worship. He would not hear their prayers. The house of God was not a place of joyful prayer. They were not enjoying God, and God was not enjoying them. This would change with the arrival of the kingdom.

The house of God would be a place of JOYFUL PRAYER in the KINGDOM. The house of God had become a place of religious ceremony and tradition instead of JOY under the Old Covenant. The New Covenant meant a NEW HOUSE with a NEW PEOPLE filled with NEW JOY.

Isaiah 43:19
 Behold, I will do a NEW THING; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Isaiah 42:9
 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and NEW THINGS do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Psalm 40:3
And he hath put a NEW SONG in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Psalm 96:1
O sing unto the LORD a NEW SONG: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Psalm 98:1
O sing unto the LORD a NEW SONG; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

Proverbs 3:10
 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with NEW WINE.

Isaiah 62:2
 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a NEW NAME, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

Joel 3:18
 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down NEW WINE, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

The kingdom of God does not cater to the proud, and the rich. It does not consist of EARTHLY POMP (ostentatious or vain display, especially of dignity or importance. pompous displays, actions, or things) like natural kingdoms, because it is heavenly and spiritual.

The rich may have advantages on the earth that the poor do not have, but they do not have an advantage in the kingdom. The kingdom is not impressed with man’s riches or position. The kingdom is available to all, including the poor. In the kingdom, the rich are often at a disadvantage. This is because MAMMON is a god, and men who love money will find it difficult to enter the kingdom. Pride will prevent one from entering, and HUMILITY is a priority in the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 11:5
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Luke 7:22
Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

The gospel, (good news), was received by the poor. They were in a position to receive because life had crushed and broken them. They were the ones in need. The rich on the other hand felt they had no need. They were fat and self-sufficient. God is not against wealth and riches. God does not want wealth and riches to replace him.There were wealthy people that entered the kingdom. Joseph of Arimathaea is an example.

Matthew 27:57
When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple:

Many of the rich were rich because they had oppressed and taken advantage of the poor. In other words, they had gained their wealth unjustly. God is not against wealth. The blessing of the Lord makes rich.
