Num 13:32-33 AMPC
32 So they brought the Israelites an evil report of the land which they had scouted out, saying, The land through which we went to spy it out is a land that devours its inhabitants. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the Nephilim [or giants], the sons of Anak, who come from the giants; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
I hear the Lord say, “Where is your faith? In man or in Me? Who do you say I am?”
I know you’re at a place of transition.
You are at the end of your wilderness, but not quite to the Promised Land.
You’re tired.
You’re weary.
You can see it.
You can feel it.
You know there’s a shower of blessings about to rain down on you.
Who do you say I am?
You’ve seen it for yourself - a land overflowing with milk and honey and My abundant provision. I allowed you to spy out the land to see how blessed you are. This is YOUR Promised Land, and I have promised it to you.
Now, who do you say I am?
Are you like Joshua and Caleb or are you like all the rest?
Are you so focused on the giants that you’ve forgotten where you’re seated?
Who do you say I am?
Eph 2:6 AMP
And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus,
You are seated with Me. I have redeemed you with the blood of my only begotten Son. I loved you that much. I bought you for a price, and seated you with Me. I raised you up to be with Me. You have royal blood running through your veins because you were raised up IN ME. I died for every sin you’ve ever committed even before you committed them. My Blood opened the door to your eternal home in the heavenly realm. That is how much I love you.
Who do you say I am?
I long for you to put Me first and to seek Me above anything else.
I long to sit with you and to look at you face to face.
I long to be in your presence and just be everything you desire.
I long to show you new dimensions of who I am.
I am El Hakavod and I am transforming you from glory to glory. I want to sit with you with an unveiled face showing you all of who I am.
Who do you say I am?
Are you like them?
I am a Jealous God and I grieve over the evil of this world. Do you see giants in the land?
Do you feel like you are as small as a grasshopper?
Do you feel like you are going to be devoured?
Just because there was someone there FIRST doesn’t mean it’s NOT your blessing.
I promised it to you. No one else, so it’s yours, unless you walk away from it. It’s yours. I won’t give it to anyone else but YOU. It is set apart for you. It’s YOURS. No one else’s but yours. Do you know Me as El Hakavod, the God of Glory?
The other spies who were sent to spy out the Promised Land looked at the giants and gave up just short of their miracle. They were fueled by fear rather than faith.
They saw the giant’s fame.
They saw the giant’s fortune.
They saw the giant’s fraudulent living.
They backed down because they saw everything they ever wanted but never thought they would receive. They saw Me as a Provider of Things. They sought My Hands and not My Glory.
They became as small as grasshoppers because they didn’t know me as El Hakavod.
There is a weightiness attached to My Glory.
There is a holiness attached to My Glory.
There is an expressive display of Who I Am attached to My Glory.
When you know Me as El Hakavod, you are transformed from glory to glory. You see Me face to face in all My Glory. Your body and soul are completely transformed. Those desires that used to pull you back into sin no longer do, because your Spirit is alive in Me. The longer you sit in My Presence the more you will know Me and experience greater levels of My Glory.
2 Cor 3:18 AMP
And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.
When you sit with Me in heavenly places you see My Purpose and My Plan for your life from a different vantage point.
You see Me in all My Glory.
You see Me in all My Power.
You see Me as the Giant God I Am.
Suddenly your giants become grasshoppers.
My Glory Cloud was hovering over Joshua and Caleb and it took them to the heavenly realm so they could take authority over their promise and declare, IT IS MINE. I will walk into my Promised Land. It’s mine because El Hakavod said it’s mine, and I will see it come to pass. I am standing on my covenant and I will not turn and walk away from His Glory.
Joshua and Caleb knew My Glory and experienced the beauty of a fulfilled promise.
They experienced My Glory.
They experienced My Deliverance.
They experienced My Victory.
My Glory puts things in proper perspective.
Is 40:22 AMP
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
[It is He] who stretches out the heavens like a veil
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
When you move from glory to glory you have supernatural vision to see things like I do. Your giants become grasshoppers, because you’re seated with Me, El Hakavod, God of Glory.
You can cry out to Me…
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. Everything my hands touch will prosper. I am a vessel of honor, a chosen vessel, who is anointed and appointed by the Most High God. He is a Mighty God, and His Word to me will not return void. Every promise He has made me will come to pass.
I am a part of a royal priesthood. Everything I touch is blessed because I know who my Daddy is. I have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise and I will not walk away from My Promise Land. Lord, you made me a covenant and I will walk into the full existence of my promise. I will stand triumphant and victorious because of you, and you will do exceedingly, abundantly above all I can ask or think according to the power that works in me. Abba, I am fully submitted to you.
El Hakavod, let me feel the weight of Your Glory.
Let me feel the power of Your Glory.
Let me sit with you and see You face to face.
Blessings to you!
