Glory Cloud — What Do We Expect?
There is a great deal of talk about the Glory of God at the moment.
We are to expect His Shekinah Glory to manifest, to display, to invade and ‘disrupt’ our meetings.
Talk of angelic visitation, even angels appearing, in our meetings. I know what I understand by all this, but how do we prepare the many who have no idea what it’s like?
How, or rather what, do we tell those who have never experienced this, to expect and or recognise it when it does manifest?
I asked The LORD how we can prepare folk to experience this phenomenon when it happens; when it happens, not if, you understand!
Cloud of smoke — we have seen several times recently where a cloud rather like smoke appears in a meeting.
There are videos of this. It is reminiscent of the biblical account of God leading the Children of Israel in the wilderness.
When the Glory cloud enters a meeting the whole atmosphere changes and a very real reverence for His presence overtakes the meeting.
None standing — we have seen several times where the Glory manifests and everyone present prostrates themselves before The LORD.
Indeed, they cannot stand in His presence.
Pillar of Fire/ Cloud — the biblical example, already alluded to, is of the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.
Spontaneity — there is also a well exampled phenomenon whereby, when the Glory manifests, spontaneous healings also manifest — miraculous healings.
There is also the illusion of fire, which appears over or on the building, and of which the people in the meeting are actually unaware!
This is a manifestation of The Holy Spirit as He ‘invades’ the meeting. There have been many occurrences of this over the years.
There is also a manifestation which I’ve personally experienced, and that was, for about twenty to thirty minutes, as the Glory entered the meeting, so those standing were ‘frozen’ in position and could not sit down, while those still seated were similarly ‘frozen’ and could not stand up!
A historical example, although a bit extreme, is that of Maria Woodworth-Etter, who ‘froze’ for a long time in the middle of preaching!
The best biblical example or evidence of the Glory is that of Moses, whose shining countenance was displayed for all to see after he had been in the Glory.
This has happened to me twice, and to others. The first time when I was baptised by The Holy Spirit and spent some time in the Glory — but that’s another story for another day.
There are other indications of the proximity, or closeness of the Glory.
Folk spontaneously start praising God in tongues, or they cannot stop singing and praising either in tongues or in their own language.
They also do this in prayer and spoken praise in tongues — they cannot/do not want to stop.
And people prophesy spontaneously, either in tongues or in their own language. This last sign is most often regarded as ‘normal’, and the closeness of the Glory is ignored or missed altogether.
There are probably many more indications of either the closeness or of the actual manifestation of the Glory of God in our meetings, which I’m sure many of you will recount for us all.
The main point here is to raise awareness of those who haven’t experienced the Glory to the signs either of its closeness or of its actual presence in our meetings.
Expect God’s Glory in your meeting!
Enjoy it when The LORD manifests His Glory in your meetings. It is God enjoying us as we enjoy Him!

Now, my students also experience visions, trance visions, and healing fire. God increased those for intimacy with Him, individual spiritual development, and near future. God sometimes gives students a prophetic trance vision to help our country in the right way. I specialize in healing lungs and cleasing blood contamination. But I share this only when God permits. Even though I am still fighting with various kinds of invisible or visible demonic energies right now, God is helping me defeat those. God gave me a strong sword, a powerful right fist, and a husky voice to break the evil things down. In a word, my body is His strategic weapon. I believe we have to live righteous lives and obey His rhemas to stay powerful. Due to so many social isolation by enemies, I am at risk financially, but I am in His absolute peace. Since last year, I have prayed for breaking the curses of all generations, all nations, and the universe. I believe God will make a way for me, and He just left the last chapter of my life behind for His glory. Thank you for reading my testimony. ♡ 2
Dear Hae Won Hong, thank you for your wonderful testimony. Thank you too for the encouragement it brings to others like me. My wife and I will pray for you and your ministry.
God bless you
Chris
Really thanks Chris. I really needed prayer. I would like to leave the process and the epilogue of a story mentioned before. God pushed me to fight with demonic spirits related to pentagram, pyramid and check pattern with prayer from February of 2023. He made my soul pass through all the symbols in the Space one by one in my trance vision. After that, my husband and I went through various kinds of attacks spiritually, physically, and socially. The opposite side showed themselves and started to threaten us directly. Even my soul was hijacked into the top of the second heaven by Satan and his worshippers last May. It was done by a gigantic energy artificially and mechanically, and I was captivated by the irresistible energy for over 1 month. It was kind of a huge sexual energy of Baal and Ashtoreth. They used a high-tech to read my mind and spread it like real. I was almost in the valley of death. 1
Fortuately, after 1 month, God visited me with His powerful fire and consumed about two-thirds of the evil energy. Since then, God has helped me increase His fire from the third heaven through different sources including this site. Also, I got so many spiritual helps from servants in America via YouTube channels. Last June The Holy Spirit told me that the last-day signal was fired. I want you to pray for a man who lives next door. I suppose that he is related to this whole process. He may be a high priest of Baal, but he can be a Samaritan. He is half demon-possessed and half mental disorder now, I guess. Pray for his salvation. I will pray for your ministry. Glory to God.2
Dear Chris, Thank you for giving us a chance to share our own experiences. Let me tell you something about my case. God led me to start a small business related to education in the late 2009. God showed me the exact location where I would launch His task through a prophetic trance vision. I flew there with angels. After God trained me there, he relocated me through a series of trance visions in the late 2012. It is located in Central Plaza 1109 in Seoul. The Holy Spirit ordered me to name the business “Builders for High Callings” in English. I just followed Him according to what He showed and told me. That is, only his rhemas led me, and I did not move without His permission for over 13 years. God required my husband and me to pray, worship,and intercede almost every night. Actually, we couldn’t pray every day because it was so demanding physically and spiritually. Our bodies are open, so we can feel different kinds of spiritual entities, which include energy, vibration, and frequency from the 2nd heaven. We went through so much physical pain and distress in the process. I think nobody can imagine the size of the pain that we have gone through. Only God knows. In return, God increased His fire and restoration power in our workplace and me. They are from the third heaven, which is totally different, you know. Instead of seeing the glory of God, we, including students, feel the fire and living water from the third heaven. 1
