God's word

Often times the power of God is synonymously used in scripture with the presence of God and the glory of God but they don't mean exactly the same thing. For example when Moses was asked of the Lord to talk to the rock, what God wanted was for his glory to be manifested. Moses, however struck. When he did the power of God was manifested but the glory of God wasn't and God reprimanded Moses, he said Moses you didn't glorify me before the people (numbers 20:11-12).though the power of God was manifested and water came out of the rock when Moses struck it the glory of God wasn't there because Moses acted in disobedience . Always God wants us to manifest his power and his glory. The glory is greater than the power because the glory includes  not only the power of God but the grace and righteousness of God. Therefore for those who wonder is it possible for the power of God to manifested and the presence of God or the glory of God is not manifested? The answer is yes  because his power is given to us to use in 1 corinthians 9:18....the apostle Paul talked about not wanting to abuse his power in the Gospel. He's referring to his authority in the gospel which was backed by the power of God. One can walk and partake of his grace and be doing the wrong thing, but God isn't going to be happy with that he'd reprimand such fellow and expect him or her to repent . To walk in God's power and his glory you have to walk in his grace and his righteousness as well, they all go together. Glory to God . Morning friends,love always adusmichael.blogspot.com
