IntroductionThe glory of God is a subject that I find most Christians know very little about. Yet, for our redemption to be complete, things need to revert back to how they were in the Garden of Eden – the Garden of God’s Pleasure and Delight.

For that reason, I will be spending some time laying the groundwork for understanding God’s glory before we discuss how you can interact with God’s glory thorough your Joseph Gate and see your business revitalized.

In this wonderful garden, Adam and Eve interacted with God every day. They walked together in the cool of the day (Gen 3:8).

I believe that Adam and Eve “kept” that garden using means that we can only dream about today because they operated in both the natural and spiritual realms simultaneously.

Think about their commission to expand the garden. Many scholars believe the garden was thousands of square miles in size. In the natural, there was no way for them to cultivate such a large garden. But in the spirit, they had access to all kinds of things that we have no knowledge of today.

They were so filled with the glory of God that they didn’t realize that they were naked. When they looked at each other, they saw the glory of God radiating.

It was not until they sinned, and God’s glory lifted off of them, that their natural sight overrode their spiritual sight and they realized they were naked!

The good news is that God promised us this knowledge would return:

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Hab 2:14) Emphasis Mine.


Notice that the prophet Habakkuk did not say that the earth would be filled with the glory of God. No, that was a given as God is omnipresent. Habakkuk said that the earth would be filled with the knowledge of God’s glory.

If you remember from The Joseph Gate article, “Activating Your Spiritual Senses”, the words for “know” in both the Hebrew and Greek languages have at their roots the idea of intimacy. For example, the Bible tells us that Adam “knew” Eve. What could be more intimate?

Given the root meaning of the words for “know”, what Habakkuk is really saying is the earth will be filled with “intimacy or intimate knowledge” of the glory of the Lord.

This is prophesying the return of the intimate knowledge of the glory of God that Adam and Eve experienced before the fall.

Habakkuk did not tell us when this would happen, just that it would. Sin was still a barrier. Look at what the Apostle Paul wrote:

“…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23) Emphasis Mine.

I’ve heard this verse preached for decades, but the preachers didn’t share the whole verse. They said, “all have sinned and fallen short”. But they leave out what we have fallen short of, “the glory of God”!

Paul is saying that, for redemption to be complete, we must return to an intimate knowledge of God’s glory.

With the sacrifice of Christ, the potential for the knowledge of the glory of God returned. It is found in the face of Christ:

“For God, who said, ‘Light shall shine out of darkness,’ is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ (2 Cor 4:2) Emphasis Mine.


Compare this to what Paul said in 1 Cor 13:12:

“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known”.

The context of this is Paul admonishing us to perfect love. The “but then” refers to the time that we perfect this love in our hearts.

Paul is describing a process of growth in our relationship with Jesus. At the beginning, when we are spiritual children, we see in a mirror dimly. In other words, there is not yet a lot of the glory of God radiating from our faces at this point.

Yet, as we grow in love, our face begins to be transformed into His image. Paul is saying that one day; we will look in the mirror and no longer see our faces, but Christ’s!

Christ’s face radiates God’s glory. Around the year 95 AD, the Apostle John was on the island of Patmos when he was taken into a vision. In this vision, he saw Jesus – look at his description of Jesus:

“Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands; and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash. His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength” (Rev 1:12-16) Emphasis Mine.

Seeing Jesus in His GloryThroughout the Bible, we read account after account of people seeing Jesus in His glory. He radiates the glory of God!

To see Him face to face in the mirror, as Paul suggests, requires your face to radiate His glory as well. It is an incredibly intimate place to be with God – a place He expects us to strive for.

A good example of this in the Old Testament was Moses. Moses spent so much time in God’s presence that his face shone to the point that he wore a veil over it:

“When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded, the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone. So Moses would replace the veil over his face until he went in to speak with Him” (Ex 34:33-35) Emphasis Mine.

Moses had such an intimate relationship with God that he spent time in God’s glory daily. It all started with his request:

“Then Moses said, ‘I pray You, show me Your glory!’” (Ex 33:18-19).

God had already promised that He would be present with Moses always. He also promised Moses His favor. But that wasn’t enough for Moses! Moses wanted more of God – he wanted to see His tangible glory.

This was God’s response to Moses’ request:

“And He said, ‘I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.’ But He said, ‘You cannot see My face, for no man can see


Me and live!’ Then the Lord said, ‘Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. ‘Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen’” (Ex 33:19-23).

God granted Moses’ request and showed him His glory! Keep in mind that this was a request granted after much time spent in intimacy.

Moses had just been in God’s presence, fasting for forty days and received the Ten Commandments. Since the Israelites had sinned by worshipping the golden calf, Moses destroyed the tablets in anger. He then returned up the mountain, into God’s presence for an additional 40 days.

This request came as Moses approached God the second time, for the second 40 day period.

Of course, Moses had many intimate moments with God before this, but this was the longest and most intense recorded in the Bible.

The lesson is that God will do the same for us as He is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). However, we have to take the time to develop a deep level of intimacy with God first – just as Moses did.



God’s Glory and Sound WavesTo give credit where credit is due, much of what I am about to share comes from two people, David Herzog and David Van Koevering. I will list their materials for further reading at the end of this article.

The creation account in Genesis describes the Holy Spirit, a carrier of God’s glory, hovering over the face of the earth. Then, God began to speak into the glory. The glory of God, invisible to the natural eye, changed to the substance we see in the natural.

“By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” (Heb 11:3).

Notice that the scripture does not say that the world was created from nothing. The world was created from things which were not visible to the natural eye.

Also, God spoke into the glory. As words are combinations of sounds, God deposited sound waves into the glory and the invisible material in the spiritual realm was changed to visible material in the physical realm.

To sum up, the first invisible ingredient in creation was God’s glory (presence); the second invisible ingredient was sound (waves).

God has created us in His image – we have the same ability to release sound waves when His glory is present and retrieve our blessings from heavenly places!

This is called “faith”:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible” (Heb 11:1 & 3) Emphasis Mine.


This is how Elijah could command the rain not to fall. He waited for God’s glory to arrive, heard what God was telling him to proclaim, and spoke what God said into the glory!

Ezekiel did the same thing when he commanded the dry bones to come back together.

String theory scientists have discovered that the smallest particles known to man are not protons, neutrons or electrons. They discovered that they could split them. Inside, these scientists discovered sound waves which resembled vibrating strings – which actually had notes.

This would confirm the Genesis account of creation. Everything that has matter, when broken down to its smallest element, is constructed of sound waves! No wonder, when the Pharisees tried to quiet the disciples’ praise of Jesus, He said:

“I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” (Luke 19:40).

Not only is matter comprised of sound waves, but matter also has memory. This is why we can record sounds and images on things like CDs and DVDs. Joshua knew of this, as he stated:

“Behold, this stone shall be for a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us; thus it shall be for a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God” (Josh 24:27).

And listen to these words from Habakkuk:

“Surely the stone will cry out from the wall, and the rafter will answer it from the framework” (Hab 2:11).

Given the fact that matter has memory, what have you spoken in your home, your car, your place of work? What words are “memorized” to serve as a witness for or against you?


The good news is, just as at the first Passover, the blood of Christ can be applied to your home, car, place of business, etc.

You can erase the bad “memory” and begin to believe for and wait for, the presence, the glory of God to arrive. Then plant faith filled words, in agreement with God’s Word, into that matter and watch your life conform as you stay in faith!

Creative abilities of sound

Even our physicians have begun to learn the creative abilities of sound. A high intensity ultrasound is used to combat cancer. So are faith-filled words spoken into the glory of God!

It also appears that nothing created can ever be uncreated. For example, if you burn a piece of wood, the molecules of the wood simply takes a new form, ash. Heated water evaporates and becomes steam.

In the glory, the matter can be changed. This is why Satan tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread (Matt 4:3). In the glory, Jesus could have done this.

Moses was instructed by God to speak to a rock and water would pour out (Num 20:8). Jesus changed the molecules of water into wine (John 2:7-8). He multiplied the loaves and fishes (Matt 14:19).

Jesus told us that, if we speak to a mountain in faith, it would be moved (Mark 11:23). Again, we have learned that these words must be spoken into the glory of God and the words we speak must align with God’s purposes.

No wonder Jesus said:

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples” (John 15:7-9).


Intimacy with God is required to become aware of God’s glory. See The Joseph Gate article, “Activating Your Spiritual Senses” for more information about becoming aware of God’s presence and activity.

David Herzog, in his wonderful book, “Glory Invasion: Walking Under an Open Heaven”, (see “Recommended Reading” at the end of this article) gives a clear explanation about the difference between spiritual and physical matter.

The physical matter is visible; the spiritual matter is invisible. He places four dots on a piece of paper, which can clearly be seen (visible) on the page:

David then asks us to imagine those same four dots spread out on the four corners of a football field. The dots still exist, but have been expanded so far apart that they seem to be invisible.

Spiritual matter (invisible), he believes, consists of molecules so expanded that they cannot be seen by the natural eye. Words spoken into the glory of God, in faith, condense these molecules until they take physical form.

I have had the privilege of hearing David Van Koevering speak on a number of occasions. He is an expert in quantum physics and holds hundreds of patents, including the first electric keyboard.

He shares that the quantum physicists have discovered that, every one-thousandth of a nanosecond, we completely “blink” out of existence and are reformed back in to visible matter.

In effect, God recreates us, every one-thousandth of a nanosecond! What we call a miracle or healing is simply God recreating us into the originally intended form – faster than you can blink your eyes.

God manifests the way you perceive Him. If you only see God as the Healer, then you will see Him manifest healing – but not creative miracles, financial miracles, etc.


For example, some churches focus on God as savior. They see salvations every week, but not healings. Do not limit God! If you see Him in unlimited aspects, you will see unlimited manifestations of Him.

No limit in the glory

There is no limit in the glory. Once in the thick glory of God, simply say what He tells you to say. Apply this to your business as often as possible and watch the results manifest.

Many months ago, my wife was in prayer. She felt the Lord leading her to speak to me about a new funding source for one of our businesses.

As she related this to me, I listened. However, I simply “filed” away the information in my mind. Months later, we ran into some funding problems and as I was discussing them with God, he reminded me of what He told my wife months ago.

Had I acted when my wife first mentioned it, I could have avoided the funding problems we experienced. Fortunately, God is full of grace!

As I sensed God’s glory, I began to speak into it about the new funding source that God had spoken to my wife and me about. My mind was at war! After all, it was the fall of 2008 and the economy was in the throes of a terrible recession. Banks were closing; others were tightening up credit to the point that it became unobtainable.

In the midst of this, here I am asking God for a new funding source that would provide our students with better terms, approve more of them, and work with my business in an expedited manner.

Everyone told me that this was impossible. The more I listened to these naysayers, the harder it became – in my mind. As I entertained the doubt in my mind, I could not get through to anyone at the lenders offices. I was blocked at every turn.


Finally, I came to my senses and repented. I set my thoughts in agreement with what God said – with what I had spoken into His glory. Then I asked God for a breakthrough.

Suddenly, a spontaneous thought arrived about a business acquaintance of mine. I love how God speaks so spontaneously. Those thoughts are easy to dismiss, but it is always a mistake to do so.

So, I visited the lady and shared with her what I believed God for. She smiled, picked up the phone, called the lender for me, and then handed me the phone. She knew someone who worked there and was thrilled to introduce me!

It’s been four months now since that phone call. It is December, 2008 and, after a lengthy process, we are able to offer our new students interest only loans while they are in our program, at a very low interest rate.

On top of that, the lending decision will be based on our students’ future earnings (many double their pay upon graduation). This means that they will approve many more loans than our current lender.

Additionally, they will not be asking for principal payments until one year after our students’ graduation!

Can you imagine such a thing happening in the natural, while we are steeped in a terrible worldwide recession?

Truly, we operate in God’s economy as we speak His words into His glory!

The glory is an accelerator

Many of us serve the God of “just enough”. We ask for enough to cover today’s needs. This is like the Israelites in the wilderness, collecting their manna every day – just enough!


In actuality, our God is a God of abundance. He wants to throw open the windows (gates) of heaven and pour out a blessing too large to contain (Mal 3:10). He wants us to move from a daily “manna mentality” into a “promised land abundance mentality”.

This can only happen in God’s glory. The more time we spend there, the more we begin to change and think like He thinks. We are transformed by the renewal of our minds (Rom 12:2).

The glory is an accelerator. When things begin to happen on earth as they do in heaven, it happens quickly. There is no delay of God’s will in the heavenly places.

A couple of years ago, I was speaking to God about one of my businesses – one that I needed capital for to move to the next level. As I was in His presence (glory), I felt Him leading me to travel across the country to attend a 3-day seminar.

Many investors secretly attended this seminar – no one knew who they were. They were there observing us to see who really was onto something with their business.

On day two, there was a luncheon scheduled specifically designed to meet these investors. Just as it was about to start, I received a series of telephone calls about emergencies at the office.

By the time I had finished these calls, I had missed the luncheon. Being a man of faith, I went to the restaurant anyway – just in case there were any stragglers. There were none – everyone had left!

As I left the restaurant and headed into the hotel, I was heartbroken. I travelled all that way and spent thousands of dollars to get there – then missed the most important session!

I prayed as I walked the hotel hallways, asking God for a divine appointment. I was sure that I heard Him clearly about coming to the seminar. My mind was once again at war. One part of me wanted to


be discouraged and sulk. Yet, another part of me knew that God had a plan.

My prayer turned to thanksgiving as I purposefully began to recall many of the times that God provided for our businesses. I settled in my mind that I did not blow it; that God had a purpose in sending me there.

As I turned the corner into the next hallway, I “accidentally” bumped into a gentleman from Michigan. After apologizing, he looked at me and said, “You’re the one I was looking for”!

It turns out that he had overheard me in an earlier session speaking about my business and future plans. He had been looking for me ever since. God had spoken to him and he wanted to invest in my business!

I’ll never forget the conversation with my attorney when I returned home. He thought the whole idea was crazy (but you never tell a client that they are crazy)! He learned something through that experience, as did I.

Obedience

The process of faith described in this report requires one other thing: obedience. Speaking into the glory of God is the beginning of a process. You must actually act on what God tells you and follow through until manifestation.

“Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great” (Luke 6:46-49) Emphasis Mine.


Also, I cannot emphasize the importance of persistence. 1 Kings 18 relates an account of widespread famine. There had been no rain in the land for years and God told Elijah it was about to rain:

“Now Elijah said to Ahab, ‘Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower.’ So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees. He said to his servant, ‘Go up now, look toward the sea.’ So he went up and looked and said, ‘There is nothing.’ And he said, ‘Go back’ seven times. It came about at the seventh time, that he said, ‘Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea.’ And he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.’” In a little while the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel. Then the hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and outran Ahab to Jezreel” (1 Kings 18:41-46).

Elijah heard the sound of rain in the spirit! In the natural, the skies were clear. He obeyed God by doing two things:

1. He told King Ahab the word of the Lord.

2. He sent his servant to look for the clouds.

Elijah’s servant kept coming back with a bad report – no clouds! Without clouds, there can be no rain, much less the storm Elijah had proclaimed to the king.

How many of us would have stopped and decided that we missed God? Elijah did not, he sent his servant back seven times – until he saw a small cloud. Then the torrential rains fell!

Perhaps you are going through a famine in your life or business. You need rain, but all you see in the natural are cloudless skies.

I encourage you to enter your Joseph Gate. Stay there until you sense God’s presence. Too many people leave before God arrives!


Listen to the word of the Lord in His presence. He will both show and tell you His plans for you (Jer 29:11). Repeat what He tells you while you are in the glory – issue a proclamation, a decree – after all; you are a king in His kingdom!

Then act upon what He told you. If manifestation is delayed, keep trying. Believe until you receive! Your life and/or business will never be the same as you are led by the Spirit of God!

Always examine your heart – your motives. Are they in line with God’s priorities? Are they founded in Jesus receiving His inheritance? Is there a kingdom purpose to what you are believing for?

If you can answer “yes” to these questions, stand in faith, secure that you are in the center of His will. Enter your Joseph Gate boldly!

Attitude of thanksgiving

Finally, keep in mind that approaching God’s glory with an attitude of thanksgiving is essential:

“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name” (Ps 100:4).

You are entering a spiritual gate, your Joseph Gate! Thanksgiving is required to enter.

Thanksgiving is a powerful force. It always precedes a miracle! Look at some examples from scripture:

The miraculous feeding of four thousand:

“And He directed the people to sit down on the ground; and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. And those


who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children” (Matt 15:35-38) Emphasis Mine.

The feeding of the five thousand:

“So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted. When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost." So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten” (John 6:10-14) Emphasis Mine.

The raising of Lazarus from the dead:

“Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.’ When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth.’ The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go’” (John 11:41-44) Emphasis Mine.

The miracle of salvation reflected in communion:

“And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’” (Luke 22:19) Emphasis Mine.

The occurrences of thanksgiving preceding miracles are all through the Bible. The point is that there is a reason: thanksgiving precedes your miracle as you enter your Joseph Gate and experience the glory of God.


Learn the language

As you enter your Joseph Gate, expect to hear from God. How He chooses to communicate is up to Him, so it is important that you learn the language of the Spirit (see The Joseph Gate report, “Activating Your Spiritual Senses).

However, an open Joseph Gate always leads to communication with God. A young girl named Mary experienced this 2000 years ago. Her Joseph Gate was open one day and she heard from God – through an angel named Gabriel (Luke 1:26).

What Gabriel told her seemed impossible. It was outside of Mary’s natural understanding of how the world operated. To accept what God was communicating with her had consequences – unpleasant ones at that!

Her betrothed, Joseph, could cancel the wedding. She could be ostracized by her family and friends. She could be stoned to death as an adulteress. Saying “yes” to God’s leading was dangerous and frightening.

If there is one thing that I have learned, it is that God enjoys placing us in impossible situations. It is only when we arrive at an impossible place, choose to believe Him anyway, and move forward in faith, that His glory arrives to save us.

I wonder what God has asked you to do next? What dream has He given you that lies dormant? What consequences do you face if you say “yes” to God?

The angel told Mary not to fear. She was favored by God! He assured Mary that God was with her!

In the same way, when God gives you a dream, you can be assured that you have found favor in His sight and God’s presence will be with you as you walk out His purposes for your life!


Once Mary processed this, she began to wonder how she could become pregnant when she had never been with a man. Gabriel’s answer still sends chills of excitement up my spine:

“The angel answered and said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you’” (Luke 1:35).

This is the same thing that happened at creation when the Holy Spirit hovered over the face of the earth – the overshadowing of God’s glory!

God’s glory overshadowing Mary released the potential for the conception of God’s dream in the natural. The first ingredient for creation was present.

Still, sound waves had to be released into the glory, this overshadowing, to release the spiritual matter and transform it into physical matter in Mary’s womb. These sound waves had to come from Mary herself. This was what she released into the glory of God:

“’Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.’ And the angel departed from her” (Luke 1:38).

Despite all the natural fears, Mary chose to believe God’s dream for her life. She trusted God to protect her and bless her. She spoke faith-filled sound waves into the glory. It was then that the angel departed – her Joseph Gate closed.

I encourage you to believe in the dream that God gave you. Purposefully enter your Joseph Gate. When God meets you there, release faith-filled sound waves (words) into His glory!

At this point, your dream will experience conception. You are on your way.

One last thing that the angel Gabriel did for Mary was provide reassurance as she made her decision to pursue God’s dream. He told her two important things.


The first thing Gabriel told Mary was:

“And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month” (Luke 1:36).

Mary was not the only one experiencing a God-given dream. God provided support through her cousin, Elizabeth. She was already well down the road of seeing her dream birthed.

The first thing Mary did after this encounter was visit Elizabeth. The two of them shared their dreams, their Joseph Gate encounters, and stood together in agreement.

When you activate your dream by speaking those faith-filled words into God’s glory, God will start bringing relatives (brothers and sisters in the Lord) to stand in faith with you.

You would be amazed how many people God has surrounded me with in my businesses who believe in the dream and want to be a part! You will have the same experience, starting with those of us already involved in The Joseph Gate.

The second thing the angel told Mary to reassure her was:

“For nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37).

I encourage you to enter your Joseph Gate everyday – multiple times if possible. God will give you the same reassurance about your dream – nothing will be impossible with God! Watch your faith soar as you hear these words from Him.

My prayer is that you have heard from the Holy Spirit throughout your reading of this report. I encourage you to launch your own study about the glory of God. There is so much more to learn.


Our God is relational. He earnestly desires a relationship with you. If you already know Him, and He knows you, God is still jealous over you. He wants a deeper relationship.

I urge you to pursue intimacy with Him. Desire His glory. Pray, like Moses did to see His glory!

Like Moses, don’t make a decision without consulting Him. God’s glory was so visible to the Israelites that they saw a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night.

If the pillar did not move, the people did not move. They were entirely dependent upon Him.

Should you be like me, you desire such clear leading from God. The key is His glory.

For some reason, we don’t read much about God’s glory leading the Israelites after they entered the Promised Land. Let us be on guard to always remember Him, always seek His face, and always follow His glory cloud.

The Joseph Gate is determined to help you live there, in God’s presence. All that remains is your decision - will you take this journey with us?
