We need to live in that kind of faith and power. It comes through prayer. When you have that power from prayer in your life, you'll walk on the scene and things will change. Your presence will be so full of the power of God that people will be healed and saved.
That's why people like Charles Finney could simply walk into a town and people would start crying out to God as he passed by. He lived in that glory world of constant, flowing power, and he had God's power, wisdom, and knowledge. When he walked in, he carried that power, and things happened.
It is said that when Smith Wigglesworth would stand up to walk to the pulpit, a wave of power would sweep across the auditorium and many people would be instantly healed —just because the man stood up! Now that's power—God's power!
Why did Wigglesworth have it? Because Smith Wigglesworth was dead. When that body called Wigglesworth stood up, it wasn't he who stood up; it was Jesus in him. Wigglesworth knew what it was to live in the glory world. His flesh had died out.
That's what the world is looking for today. You must die to the flesh so the world can see Jesus in you. And prayer is the way you get there. There are no shortcuts. Let yourself die to the world, bury yourself, and keep blasting through that mountain to the other side, where you will begin to soar in the things of God. You can go from glory to glory!
I'm working on living there all the time. That's where God wants every believer to live. That's where Daniel lived. That's why he saw so many angels. That's why he knew so much about the realm of the Spirit.
Moses was another one who knew what the glory realm was like. When Moses walked up on the mountain, he had enough courage to walk into the cloud and commune with God. He came back out with the glory of God all over him. He had to cover his face, because the children of Israel could not look on his countenance, it was so bright.
I imagine there were many times Moses wished he could have stayed up on Mount Sinai communing with God in the cloud, but God had made him return to his people. In his absence they were doing strange things, including worshiping false gods. God said, "Go back and take care of them."
The apostles lived in the glory world. That's why when Peter walked by people and his shadow fell on them, they got healed. God's glory heals people! Wouldn't it be nice to have your shadow fall on people and have them jump up healed? It's possible. Don't try to figure it out with your natural mind—you can't—but it's possible in the spiritual realm.
If we were walking in the glory world constantly, we'd see such miracles happen more frequently today. God's glory is good, powerful, and liberating. It will set people free.
Learning to move in the realm of the Spirit doesn't come naturally. It's something you learn as you go along. You've got to spend time in prayer to learn the ways of the Holy Spirit.
