This book will explore the barriers that keep us on the edge of GOD'S glory and how to overcome them. It will weave biblical narratives, historical accounts, and personal experiences to illustrate how GOD invites us to move from the periphery into intimacy with Him. Whether you have walked with the Lord for many years or are just beginning your journey, I pray that these pages will stir a desire to press beyond where you have been and step into the deeper waters of GOD'S love and His presence.If you think you might be on the periphery or the outer limits of your promised land, ask yourself these questions.Do I often find myself operating in a state of complacency? Am I failing to commit clearly due to my past disappointments, fears, or hurts? Do I often find myself quickly disinterested in a project after committing to it? Glory has everything to do with the Holy Spirit's presence. Rejecting Him would simply be rejecting the glory that belongs to Him. Our environment consists of activities we engage in, and who we spend time with plays a major role in either minimizing or maximizing the Holy Spirit's abilities. We must honor and glorify the things of GOD and abandon any allegiances to false structures that have a form of Godliness but deny the power that is at work.The glory of GOD'S presence changes us into His very image. We begin to know how He thinks, acts, and loves, as well as the power of His Son's resurrection.This is a place of intimacy that I'm referring to. There is nothing casual about the glory of GOD. It is not happenstance but is orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. When you and I get intentional about our relationship with the LORD, He gets intentional about bringing things to pass for us. This is an era when events beyond our wildest expectations are occurring in quick succession. It is the time for GOD'S glory to be seen and experienced in the entire earth. You will see it happen, and say, "I never thought that I would live to see anything like this."We must prepare for what will become the inevitable. GOD'S glory will be seen in the earth.
