“For as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with an awareness of the ‘glory’ (presence) of the Lord" - Habakkuk 2:14
What is glory realm? It is the realm of eternity. It is the revelation of the presence of God. It is the manifestation of His presence. He is glory. He is everywhere; therefore, “glory” is the manifestation of that reality. The earth has an atmosphere made up of air, whereas the heavenly atmosphere is glory - His presence. When God’s glory comes down, it's a bit of heaven's atmosphere coming down to us, a taste of His manifest Presence.
We don't see air, do we? But all of us would be dead if we are not breathing it. We are not conscious of the air unless we see the wind blowing the leaves on the trees. Yet the earth is covered by it. In the same way, not one inch of heaven lacks glory. Now God is giving us a taste of that glory - heaven manifested on earth. And this is His choosing - His good pleasure!
When heaven invades the earth, there is “God's Presence” realm and “God's Glory” realm. Yes, they are in fact one and the same, but for the benefit of this series I’d like to identify each realm through a different intensity. As we press in deeper in our worship, the spiritual intensity of God's presence increases. Right? But, when we enter the ‘sphere’ where we move from the “Presence Realm” to the “Glory Realm” - that's when we cross over into the dynamic threshold of the Divine Presence. In other words, whenever God performs miracles during worship, we are experiencing a tangible manifestation of the Glory Zone. But be careful, this is not for the faint hearted!
