His Presence displaces our old nature

Sing a new so; my new song is from Psalm 40:3+ Ps 119:117
A New Song. A new song for a new day rises up in me. Every time I think of how You breakthrough for me. A new song for a new day comes to set me free. With every breath, in every movement, I give You praise.
Break open your Word within me, ‘til Your Light shines out. Break open your Word within me, ‘til I shout out loud. With every breath, in every movement, I give You praise
Empower me to live each moment In the Light of your ways. Empower me to live each moment In the Light of your grace with every breath, in every movement; I give You praise
It’s a new day. Father whispered that to me several months ago and gave me this Word, this song; listen to His Voice for your new song, a fresh Word from heaven.
Isaiah 60 – Be radiant – GOD’S Calling you to Himself in a new way. Listen for His instruction and follow Him.

Darkness blankets the earth, and thick gloom covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you, and the brightness of his glory appears over you! 3: Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise glory of YOUR NEW DAY. You have a new day and a new song.
My new song is from Psalm 40:1-3. “I waited and waited and waited some more, patiently, knowing God would come through for me. Then, at last, he bent down and listened to my cry. He stooped down to lift me out of danger from the desolate pit I was in, out of the muddy mess I had fallen into. Now he’s lifted me up into a firm, secure place and steadied me while I walk along his ascending path. A new song for a new day rises up in me every time I think about how he breaks through for me! Ecstatic praise pours out of my mouth until everyone hears how God has set me free. Many will see his miracles; they’ll stand in awe of God and fall in love with him!”

This New Covenant “glory” that covers us exceeds everything of the Old (2 Cor. 3:7–11), and we can be certain that God, in Christ, has made a complete provision for the well-being of our total person. It’s a new day.
Yahweh’s glory rises in our life from within, and that glory is activated, reclaimed, and released through faith.
God desires us to rise and shine in faith and with faith, which produces more faith and activates faith with increasing faith. As we do this, believing in Him, His glory rises upon us, and we shine even more. God sees faith in us; He sees Jesus in us and how we are acting and reacting, in the faith that Jesus multiplied to us, through our obedient response, to His Word. It is in that faith realm that He sees us shining. Fasten your faith in God alone, believing in His love, His faithfulness, and His Word.
I Peter 1:8
We want to live an ascended life in the realms of glory—the place where God reigns.
Glory – the splendor, holiness, and majesty of God. The word glory conveys a sense of heavy dignity. It is the very essence of His Divine Presence. IT’S JESUS.

Effulgence: the ability to shine brightly filled with radiant beauty and goodness. Filled with Jesus. His glory is the manifested Presence of God on the earth. We carry this glory. This magnificent effulgence. FORGIVEN.HEALED.RESTORED.EMPOWERED.
ADAM – US.
We continue on the path of righteousness, growing in a progression of faith by continually saying yes to the Holy Spirit until we are prepared and ready to receive the bridal garment of glory. This is the end of the journey on the earth for us to prepare and be ready to rule and reign with Him here, co-labor with Him, and return with Him to reign in the time of the Millennium. God is working this very position into our lives. It’s a new day. Sing a new song of victory. It comes from Jesus.
Come to the table, and receive. Come to the table, and believe.
