Introduction

I believe that Ruth Heflin gave us an excellent description of our approach to God. In her book, "Glory" she said, "Praise, until the Spirit of worship comes; worship, until the Glory comes; then, stand in the Glory!" In the 1948 move of God, Biblical praise was restored to the Church. In the Charismatic Renewal Biblical worship was restored to the Church. The next phase that has to be restored is Biblical "Glory," an entering in to the Holy of Holies. 

The Scriptures tell us that when the once-yearly Day of Atonement came the High Priest would take the container with the blood sacrifice and the golden censor with him into the Holy of Holies. But, before he did so, all the other priests had to withdraw outside the Tent of Meeting from the Holy Place to the Outer Court.

I believe this describes where we are in the timeline of the Church. ALL (or almost all) the Spirit filled churches have ceased to offer the kind of worship that was in practice during the Charismatic Renewal. They have withdrawn from the kind of worship that is appropriate in the Holy Place and have adopted what some have called "super rock band church" worldly music to attract a crowd. It is Outer Court music - at best.

We have longed-for a day when a faithful remnant will be called into the fullness of the Glory of God. Let us be even more diligent to prepare, to be found in the perfect will of God, because I believe that day has finally arrived. I believe the next couple of years will be some of the most difficult yet rewarding for those who are found "in Him."
