R.T. Kendall: Why Jack Hayford's Church Grew After He Saw Shekinah Glory

God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.

Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

The glory of God is the nearest you get to the "essence" of His being. Consider the various attributes of God: omniscience (He knows all), omnipresence (He is everywhere), omnipotence (He is all powerful; He can do anything), sovereignty (He has mercy on whom He will have mercy on), justice (He is fair and is determined to punish evil), mercy (He does not want to punish us), holiness (He will not tolerate sin), love (He is tender toward all His creation) and wrath (He feels anger toward sin).

The total of all these attributes is glory. The glory of God is the sum of all His attributes. It is the one word that embraces all these attributes simultaneously.

The Shekinah

The rabbis used this word to describe what is supernatural—that is, what is beyond or above the natural. It is the transliteration of a Hebrew word that means dwelling or settling of the divine presence of God. It is a word used to describe what is truly miraculous, that which defies a natural explanation. For example:

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. When the cloud was lifted up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel would set out in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not lifted up, then they did not set out until the day that it was lifted. For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys (Ex. 40:34–38).

The Shekinah on Good Friday

From noon until 3:00 p.m. on Good Friday, "there was darkness over all the land" (Matt. 27:45). This was not an eclipse of the sun, as some have conjectured. It was the Shekinah—the cloud that came down as a divine witness to Jesus' shed blood.

When God introduced the Day of Atonement to Moses, He promised to "appear in the cloud over the mercy seat" (Lev. 16:2). That cloud was a dark cloud. When the cloud filled the temple upon the arrival of the ark of the covenant, the priests could not perform their service: "the glory of the Lord filled the house of God" (2 Chron. 5:14).
