HIS PRESENT GLORY IS A FRONT LINE, RAW MATERIAL, CUTTING EDGE, LEAPING, JUMPING, SHOUTING CHURCH. IT’S UNIQUE AND CREATIVE. IT’S ALIVE, REAL AND IT IS ON FIRE! HIS PRESENT GLORY IS FULL OF THE POWER OF TRANFORMATION IN THE LIVES OF A PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING CHANGED BY THE OPERATION OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD IN THIS PLACE. WE DO NOT LOOK TO THE COOKIE CUTTER MOLD, BUT TO HIS OUT-RAYING LIFE COMING FORTH FROM HIS WORD, THAT IS HIDDEN IN OUR HEARTS(Psalm 199:11). WE ARE LOOKING TO THE NATURE OF HIS LOVE COMING FORTH… EVEN FROM HIS PRESENCE WITHIN US, TO SHAPE AND DEFINE WHO WE ARE. HPG is a part, actual cells and members, of The Body of Christ that is alive now on the face of this earth. We believe that we are partakers of The Divine Nature of God, (2 Peter 1:4), who know Jesus Christ as The Firstborn Son of God and as our Head(COL 1:18) and Example(1 COR. 11:1). He is The Firstborn of many brethren (Rom 8: 29), one of whom is our spirit-man, The Christ in us(COL 1:27). We are of the people of God, who are absolutely not finished, polished or perfect as a whole, but we do know that even at this point, ‘His strength is made perfect in our weakness” (II COR.12:9). We count on that! We deal with the sin issue, by understanding that we can admit and confess our sin and He is faithful to forgive us (I JOHN 1:9). We believe that Jesus Christ died and shed His blood to pay for the sins of all the world (1 PETER 3:18), that includes mine and yours. He was victorious and therefore the sins of all the world are paid for. Not everyone believes it or accepts it and therefore they also do not benefit from The Truth that makes us free (JOHN 8:32). ‘For God is in Christ (who is in us) reconciling the world unto Himself not imputing their trespasses against them (2COR 5:18,19),’ If He isn’t imputing them, why would we? He came, not to condemn the world but to save it (JOHN 3:17), and not for the righteous, but for sinners. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… ( JOHN 3:16) We know that it is ‘Christ in you’ that is the only Hope of Glory (Col. 1:27), and we know it is that part of us that is our spirit. Who is joined to The Lord is one spirit (1 COR 6:17). All of us who are joined to Him are of that same Spirit of The Son; The Spirit of Christ. That spirit-man that is the very core of our being, when we are born again, is the Christ in us and is already a son of God, is the very presence of God in us, and is Perfect. This is where we need to shift our identity to… Christ is my life. ‘It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me (GAL 2:20). From the inside out He is changing me and appearing in me. He is loving me, purging me, washing me; preparing me. He is The Wonderful One (ISA. 9:6), The Lover of our soul (PSALM 116:7,8), The Savior of The Body and The Author and The Finisher of our faith (HEB. 12:2). We find our identity in Him. We find His identity in us. We are of a people who are moving and growing in the manifestation of The Living God. We are pressing on to THE HIGH AND UPWARD CALL (II Tim 1:9).
