Years ago my brother, who was raised as a Christian but was not walking uprightly before the Lord then, told me that he could tell true Christians by looking at them. I was a babe in Christ and could not comprehend what he meant. I asked him how he could tell. He said that they have a certain look about them. I pondered what he said but at the time I could not understand.
I just came to understand it about 2-1/2 years ago. I was on the bus in Tampa, FL one day and sat near an older man who I had only encountered one other time. That other time, he and I had a brief conversation about GOD. He had some knowledge of GOD but was a man battling with alcoholism. The second time, we saw one another on the bus; he said to me, "I see Jesus all over you." I wondered what I looked like and what he saw.
Late last year up to now, I have increased my time with the Lord. I was already doing daily Word reading, and praying, etc. Now though, daily in the morning, I worship and pray to him prostrate. I had prayed/worshipped prostrate before but never regularly. One day about a month ago, I watched T.D. Jakes preach a sermon titled, "The Glory is on the Floor." During that live broadcast of his Sunday service, the anointing of GOD was heavy. People were laying on the floor prostrate in worship. I was deeply impacted by that outpouring of the anointing of GOD. When the service ended, to the floor I went - prostrate before the Lord. I have done it every morning since and I have not been the same. My closeness to the Lord has been elevated. Of course, obedience to the Word is a core component. I mean I could not have that closeness just by being on the floor prostrate. I need to have a pure heart and clean hands...
Now I understand much more about the GOD glow. Now the Lord has given me more discernment relative to people...and I can clearly notice the GOD glow on Christians. Marijo has it. She sent me, via e-mail, a photo of her and I saw the GOD glow on her. Timothy has the GOD glow, too. Sunday I saw a complete stranger walking down the street who had the GOD glow. It was only moments...and I noticed it on her. I walked up to her and let her know that I knew that she knew JESUS. She smiled and agreed. We had a brief discussion about the Lord.
On the flip side, I now discern more readily those who profess Christ but do not have the GOD glow. They utter GOD'S Word's but the GOD glow is not present on them. The GOD glow cannot be faked. It comes from the inside out - it is the glory of the Lord shining through those with pure hearts and clean hands.
Remember when Moses' face shone?
Exodus 34: 29, 30, and 35:
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai...that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone...
And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone;...
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone:...
When I watch some of the Christian programming, the GOD glow is obvious on some Christians. Clifton Davis, who sometimes hosts TBN, has the GOD glow. The love of GOD flows from his spirit.
Hallelujah ! It is glorious in the place of the GOD glow!!!
The Acts 4:13
...they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
Isaiah 62:2
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory:...

I have posed this question to my readers as well - whether the Holy Spirit in me allows me to recognize others with the same Spirit. I think that it would be a very interesting experiment to see if a Christian can look through a pile of articles and discern which ones were written by Christians.
Please let us know, Karen, if you receive reader responses to your posed question.
ReplyDeleteI am quite interested...
Thank you
Hi Lioneagle - just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my photo blog and leaving a comment. I love to take pictures - I have a simple digital camera, but I so enjoy being outside and seeing the wonders of God's creation.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you!
Joan
I was reminded of Stephen in the book of the Acts 6:15:
ReplyDelete"And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel."
No doubt, Stephen had the GOD glow!
I am posting a comment regarding your other blog where someone asked you why you had so few 'followers'. Well, I read your blog with great interest, but am not a follower as my blogging consists of home decorating. No doubt many people read your comments. Yes, you can see if someone is full of the light of goodness.
ReplyDeleteSandra, this is where Discerning of Spirits and Prophecy come together. The usual Discerning of Spirits is visceral. This is done through a spiritual metaphor of vision.
ReplyDeleteI just got done reading "Appointment in Jerusalem" by Lydia Prince. I cried through half of it. There was prayer in its writing and in its publishing.
We can pray that God would bless those who read a certain post or book. This can bear fruit. I pray for Christian Bibles and deliver any spells on them that those who read would be impacted.
Hi Timothy -
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
Please help me on paragraphs 1 and the last sentence of paragraph 3 of what you expressed above. I do not understand.
Discerning of spirits is generally something you feel in your gut. It is an inner knowing.
ReplyDeleteProphecy is generally something you "see" in terms of pictures or video clips.
To "see" a spiritual picture superimposed on the actual eyeball's view is not that common.
Praying blessing for Bibles is not usually thought of but it helps unbelievers be attracted to it and understand it through the Holy Spirit. Occultists curse Bibles so people are demonically affected by trying to read it or even by being near it. I had an occultist give a "donation" of old Bibles to the last church I was a member of. It took Word of Knowledge to figure it out and cast the demons out of them.
Thank you, Timothy...
ReplyDeleteYour before Christ experiences in the occult indeed help me to understand what goes on in that "world."
I had no idea that people cursed Bibles. I will pray as you instructed....
