Though the Holy Spirit lives in all believers, the glory of His presence comes to rest on only a few. We may ask why this is so and how our physical body could be worthy to host the manifest presence of His glory.
Sid Roth in his "It's Supernatural" TV Show, interviewed Dr Michael Brown and asked, "How do we qualify to be holy." Dr Michael Brown replied, "Holiness is beautiful - becoming like Jesus in thought, word and deed."
"A true love of God must begin with a delight in His holiness" - Jonathan Edwards
To dedicate our physical body to God, the dedication must come with sacrifice (Romans 12:1), like how Solomon dedicated the temple to God in 2 Chronicles 7:1-2, "When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it."
A man of God quotes: "Glory is the manifested presence of Jesus. Revival is filled with stories of His manifest presence resting upon His people. HE lives in all believers, but the glory of His presence comes to rest on only a few."
We are living in the last days of greater glory and holiness as in Haggai 2:9, "The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house," says the Lord Almighty. "And in this place I will grant peace," declares the Lord Almighty. "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." Habakkuk 2:14
"A true love relationship must be founded in the love of God. A relationship based on money, companionship, physical affection, or control will never be eternal. True love flows from the heart of God to the heart of man in the realm of the spirit and is manifested by overflowing into the realm of the physical." - Dr Larry Ollison
In the Old Testament, King Darius was surprised and overjoyed that the lions did not harm Daniel when he was thrown into the lions' den. When asked by the king, Daniel replied, "O king, live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king." (Daniel 6:21-22).
There is power in righteousness. James 5:16, "... the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
I give all glory to God!

Sid Roth 在他的 “It's Supernatural!” 电视节目中采访了迈克尔·布朗博士并问道：“我们怎样才有资格成为圣洁。” 迈克尔·布朗博士回答说：“圣洁是美丽的 - 在思想，言语和行为上变得像耶稣。”
“真正爱上帝必须从以祂的圣洁为乐开始” - 乔纳森爱德华兹
上帝使我们成为“祂的国民和祭司”（启示录一章6节）。祂要我们拥有国王的能力和祭师的圣洁。但以理早就发现圣洁中带有大能。在上帝将祂荣耀彰显的同在附在一个人的身上之前，祂首先将通过火洁净，炼净和净化来清理祂的圣殿（马太福音三章11至12节，撒迦利亚书十三章9节，玛拉基书三章2至4节）。
为了将我们的身体奉献给上帝，那奉献必须带着牺牲（罗马书十二章1节），就像所罗门在历代志下七章1至2节中将圣殿奉献给上帝一样，“所罗门祈祷已毕，就有火从天上降下来，烧尽燔祭和别的祭，耶和华的荣光充满了殿。因耶和华的荣光充满了耶和华殿，所以祭司不能进殿。”
一位上帝的仆人引述：“荣耀是耶稣彰显的同在。复兴充满了祂彰显的同在附在祂的百姓身上的故事。祂活在每个信徒里，但祂荣耀的同在却只停留在少数人身上。”
我们生活在更大的荣耀和圣洁的末日里，正如在哈该书二章9节中说到，“这殿后来的荣耀必大过先前的荣耀，在这地方我必赐平安。这是万军之耶和华说的。” 全能的主宣告道，“在这个地方，我将给予平安”。“认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地，好像水充满洋海一般。” - 哈巴谷书二章14节
“一个真正的爱情关系必须建立在爱上帝。基于金钱，情谊，肉体情感或控制的关系永远不会永恒。真正的爱是在灵里从上帝的心流向人们的心，并从肉身的满溢彰显出来。“ - Larry Ollison 博士
在旧约中，当大流士国把但以理扔进狮子坑中而狮子并没有伤害但以理时，大流士国王感到惊讶和高兴。当国王问道，但以理对王说：“愿王万岁！我的神差遣使者封住狮子的口，叫狮子不伤我，因我在神面前无辜，我在王面前也没有行过亏损的事。”（但以理书六章21至22节）。
正义是有能力的。雅各书五章16节，“...义人祈祷所发的力量是大有功效的。”
我将全部的荣耀归给上帝。
