Reseña del libro "Bearers of His Glory (en Inglés)"
Those of us who have grow up in a Charismatic-Pentecostal environment have gotten used to constantly hearing the expression, "Glory be to God," to the point that it has become more of a colloquial expression that by force of habit has all but lost its meaning.For most Christians, the concept of Glory is something very vague, very distant, intimidating, or fantastic, to the point that it's not very desirable, or it seems impossible to reach. However, God's purpose is to bring His Glory here to the earth, and make us participants and heirs of that Glory through transformation, firstly of those who are its bearers, and then of the entire planet, fulfilling the word given through the Prophet Habukuk 2:14 "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" We need a clearer, simpler, and more complete knowledge of God's glory as it truly is: a palpable, visible, tangible power that is within our reach. God has promised to give us his Glory and that is what He will do. It's time for God's people to prepare themselves to receive it.All have sinned and have come short of the glory (Rom. 3:23). What an awesome thought when we recognize our original garments. What an incredible realization concerning our present destitution as a result of sin. What an even greater realization when the revelation comes to us that the glory of God will fill the earth (Num.14:21). From destitution to restoration, that is the intent of God for the earth, and he will use men created in the likeness of sinful flesh to become bearers of his glory here in the earth.The earth has never seen anything quite like this before, men created in the likeness of sinful flesh but bearing the glory of God. Mortal men in human bodies such as ours, but clothed upon again with our tabernacle from on high. The 120 followed the command of the Lord Jesus to "go wait in Jerusalem until they were clothed upon with power from on high" (Luke 24:49), and history records the result of their impact upon the earth during the days of the church in Acts. But Paul is quick to tell us that there is yet to come a greater manifestation of the glory of God in the earth that will exceed the temporary and transitory realm and even all of the brightness reflected in the face of Moses ( 2 Cor.3:12-18). Yes, there will be a ministry of glory that will invade the church realm and totally transform it until in earth there is the declaration, JEHOVAH SHAMMAH.Apostle Lastra provokes us to think in his treatise concerning the glory of God, and will certainly challenge many who have hoped to "go to glory" rather than bring the glory of God to earth. Those who have expected to see the glory come some distant time in the future after Jesus returns to the earth will be challenged to realize that the word of God reveals something different. The glory of God will be revealed in us (Rom.8:17).I am sure there will be much more said and written as revelation continues to be given, but I commend this work and take much pride and joy in the revelation that God has continued to give to our spiritual family concerning his purposes. As a spiritual son, Apostle Lastra continues to press into the things of God with great zeal and dedication with the conviction that the glory of God is a present reality. Keep up the good work! -Apostle John Boney
