Exerpts and Extras from my residency at Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky, USA___Pastor Ayo Oluwagunna

Blessings, Friends.
I’ve been somewhat inactive on Facebook for some time now… having been very busy with rigorous work in my residency at Asbury Theological Seminary, Kentucky, USA. But I feel I should squeeze in time to send the promised outstanding posts, especially the Excerpts and Extras of the Prophetic Sunday services for July and August 2018

Both are ready, but I feel directed to send in the order of August before July…

PART 1 – “PRESS UP TO COME UP"
Ayo Oluwagunna
**********************
Exodus 24:12 - 18
(:12) And the LORD said unto Moses, COME UP TO ME INTO THE MOUNT, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. (:13) And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God. (;14) And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. (:15) And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. (:16) And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. (:17) And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. (:18) And MOSES WENT INTO THE MIDST OF THE CLOUD, AND GAT HIM UP INTO THE MOUNT: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

It is very good and glorious that we encounter God, even as He comes down to meet us here on earth. But it is by far more glorious to encounter God as we are granted access by grace to enter through the clouds into the portals of unusual realms of Glory.

Let me state upfront that:
# “CLOUDS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN CLOSED UP UNTIL GLORY IS READY TO BE DISCLOSED.”
# OPEN HEAVENS are time-tied trends only for those with traits of tireless Hungry, Holy OPEN HEARTS.
# Clouds never BURST to reveal God’s Glory for any soul that has no upward THRUST for what is concealed beyond them.

God is ever willing and longing to express and extend His Glory to us, but we cannot experience it without our “GOING”. This kind of “going” compulsorily calls for “GROWING” because you cannot be groping around in the valley or even gazing above from the plain and ever get into this reserved realm of Glory!

GOD IS A "GIVING GOD"…but His Giving is within the context of who He is as A "GOING GOD." Psalm 68:24 - "They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary."

Our GETTING from this GOD can only occur if we are GOING GO-GETTERS - GROWING in our GOING (with deep GROANING) after this GOD of GLORY!
Hear David in Psalms 63:1-2 - "O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; TO SEE THY POWER AND THY GLORY, SO AS I HAVE SEEN THEE IN THE SANCTUARY"

GROOMING GOD'S GLORY CARRIERS:
God is always graciously grooming such souls in whom He sees this growing groaning for His glory. For lack of experience and exposure, their definition of this glory they groan for may not be too definitive, but their desperation is very distinctive. THE REVELATION OF THIS DIVINE GLORY CANNOT BE RECEIVED UNLESS THERE IS FIRST A CONSCIOUS REJECTION OF ANOTHER GLORY WHICH MAY BE GOOD, BUT AN "INGLORIOUS GLORY" WHEN COMPARED TO GOD'S GLORY. Moses had over forty years earlier rejected the glory of kingship in Egypt and decided to be relegated to slave status in order to fulfil his calling and destiny. Many Christians will not be called up to higher realms of weightier Heavenly Glory while on earth, because they are too full of, and weighed down with Earthly Glory. It is not strange to note that CARING too much for this world chokes CALLING through the Word to higher realms of glory that is above this world (Luke 8:14) Paralyzation by worldliness hinders Progression to Perfection. This is clearly affirmed in the case of the millions of Israelites who were never called to such dimensions of glory, because they were too full of Egypt (worldliness). Sure, they moved out of Egypt, but Egypt was never REmoved from their minds!

A non-negotiable condition for Grooming for God's Glory is deliverance by total severance from Egypt. The closer you still remain to Egypt, in mind and manner, the farther you will be away from your call UP into Glory. Good to note that THE EGYPT YOU CARRY IN YOU WILL STOP YOUR HEARTBEAT AND KILL YOUR HEAT FOR GOD'S GLORY, AND WILL DEFEAT THE ESSENCE OF YOUR CALL UP TO GLORY

When undergoing grooming under the hand of God to become a “GGC” (God’s Glory Carrier), you will typically experience an intensification of irrepressible internal tension in anticipation for ascension. There will be a cry within you for Higher grounds to climb up to. (Psalm 61:2 - "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I"

MIND MOTIONS FOR MANIFESTATIONS:
The experience of mighty miraculous manifestations from beyond the clouds require mind motion. Personal sonship manifestation in the ministry of Grace and Glory needs more than confession of mouth …it comes by consecration to mind motion. God will never manifest His glory to old, cold mindsets in His fold. Too many of us draw near to God in outward acts, but our hearts are still too far away! (Ezek 33:31; Matt 15:8)

The capacity of your mind for God-ward mobility will define the reality of the glory you will experience and express. You cannot be GOING after the GLORY that you are not gasping for, gravitating towards, and grasping in your inner man.

I submit to you that if the essence of God’s glory doesn't make much sense to you, you will naturally lack the passion to press into, and possess it. In other words, it is the value you place on this one needful thing that will dictate the depth of your desire and desperation, directing the degree of your drive, in progressive pursuit of its possession.

ATTITUDE FOR ALTITUDE:
God’s call of Moses to come UP, was clearly because of the deep UPrising and UPsurge that he perpetually carried. Moses was an incurable Uplander and Mountaineer who was never contented with low level living, like everyone else.
The high, holy and heavenly call of God to ALTITUDES connects to the human cries and ATTITUDES. Deep calls unto deep (Psalm 42:7) and in the same way height calls unto height.

PRESSURES FOR TREASURES:
Procession into and possession of Kingdom grace and glory come by persistent pressurization. YOU CAN NEVER ACQUIRE GENUINE DIVINE TREASURES WITHOUT COMING UNDER DEEP DIVINE PRESSURES.

The pressure for the Kingdom and its glory is an UPward pressure. But you cannot press UP into the Cloud of God’s Glory with a beclouded mind that cannot accommodate and anticipate. The dimension you will ever activate in Glory is directed by what you anticipate!

Luke 16:16 - The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man PRESSETH into it.

You can never EXPERIENCE and EXPRESS the realities of the Kingdom Mysteries and Glories that you fail to "PRESS into…"
To Experience and Express Glory from CloudBurst, you must be pressed to press onward and upward!

I’m pressing on the UPWARD Way, new heights I’m gaining everyday…
Beyond the mist I fain would rise, to rest beneath unclouded skies…
Lord lead me up the mountain side…

See you UP there Beloved!
