Let His glory fill the house, Part 1 EN INGLES

Let His glory fill the house, Part 1
Haggai 2:7 “And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.”
This is one of my favorite promises in the Bible! God HIMSELF promises His people that He will fill the house with His glory. One of the things I find myself praying for is that God will do this again in our day.
Remember the story of when God filled Solomon’s temple with the glory of God?
2 Chronicles 7:1-3:
“Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.
And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.”

When was the last time that happened at YOUR church? A physical fire came down from
heaven and burned up the sacrifices, the priests could not even go into the temple because of the thickness of the glory of God, and EVERYONE laid flat on the ground and worshipped God with all their might!!!
Wow, what a church service! If there was anyone who had come that day with sin in their
lives, or doubting that God was real, that person was changed in a moment! The praise and worship team didn’t “perform” that day. Even more miraculous is that everyone worshipped. No one was watching, criticizing the bass player, or text messaging on their cell phone.
As a praise and worship leader, the prayer for glory to fill the house of God again has been my prayer!
I am tired of seeing people curse and mock God.
I am tired of praise and worship teams who are the center of attention, they are accustomed to the people worshipping and admiring THEM instead of worshipping and honoring God.
Finally, I am tired of leading praise and worship and seeing at least half of the people there occupied with many things, and thinking nothing of God. They are planning what to eat after church, or hoping the handsome guy is noticing them, or wishing they didn’t have to be there. So many people in church today are waiting for the “right song” to make them cry, the “right instrument solo” to inspire them to raise their hands, and the “right rhythm” to make them dance.
But on the day Solomon dedicated the Temple, EVERYONE (from the children to the aged) worshipped God!!!!
We need the glory of God to fill the house again.
