It is impossible for God to lie. What He has said in His Word is true. What He has prophesied in His Word has happened or will happen. There is nothing that can stop it. When He says the Jews will inherit Jerusalem and the land of Israel, it will happen. No man can stand in the way of the Jews having Israel.
If God's Word says that Jesus is coming back at the appointed time, then Jesus is coming back at the appointed time. If you are not right, you are going to get left. You are either with God or without God, but nothing will prevent God from doing what He prophesied He will do.
The scripture says that the whole earth will be filled with His glory. What does that mean? If you are with God, that is going to be a wonderful thing. But if you are not with God, it may not be such a fun thing.
In Acts 5:1-11 the presence of God entered into the room where Peter and the apostles were. The power of God uplifted and sustained and encouraged Peter and the apostles, but Ananias and Sapphira died. Did God kill them? No, God did not kill them. Did the power of God kill them? No. Did the glory of God kill them? No. Why did they die? They died because they made a choice to not be right when they stood in the presence of God.
I can warn you about a mousetrap and tell you that if you touch the trap, it will snap onto your finger and your finger is going to really hurt. You might say, "I don't know if that is true or not." So you find the mousetrap and stick your finger on the little piece of cheese. Snap!
You might then say, "Why did make that mousetrap hurt me?" I would say, "I didn't do it. I warned you about it. I told you the power was there to hurt you. I told you to stay away from the thing that will hurt you, but you chose to stick your finger in the mousetrap."
That's the way it is with the power of God. God does not want you to be hurt. He lets us know that there is responsibility on our part to be right with God if we are going to be in His presence. There is power in His presence. It is wonderful power if we are in good standing, but it is dangerous if we are not.
The glory of God is here on the earth right now. We are in the time of glory. You may not have seen the glory. You may not know what I am talking about. But according to the scripture, the glory is here on the earth and we can walk in the glory if we choose to.
There are a lot of things in the spiritual realm that we can experience that are here. But if we don't believe for them, we won't experience them. Probably the easiest example to understand is salvation. We know that Jesus died and conquered death. He was resurrected and He placed salvation here on the earth for everyone.
Everyone on this earth has access to salvation. It is everywhere. You can go to Africa and salvation is there. You can go to Australia and salvation is there. But only those who believe that salvation is for them and make that commitment to receive the Spirit of God within them become saved. Is salvation any more available for the person who is saved than for the person who is not saved? No.
What is the difference? One person knew about it and believed in it and received it. You can't get saved without faith according to Ephesians 2:8. "For by grace you have been saved through faith."
You can't have faith for salvation until you hear the word about salvation. Once you hear it, you have a choice to make. You either believe it or you reject it. Salvation is here for everyone on earth. But only those who believe it and receive it get saved.
The scripture says that we are to walk in faith and we are to walk in the glory. It says in the last days the glory will fill the earth. We're in the last of the last days before the return of Jesus. The scripture says that in that time frame, the glory of God will fill the earth.
Allow the anointing and glory of God to be in your daily life. Abide in the Word and walk in the Spirit. Then God's supernatural will become natural in your life.
