Bringing Down The Cloud

The cloud of glory could be a manifestation of long-awaited miracle, a blessing, healing, divine connection, or anything. Giving thanks moves not only the hand of God but God himself.

2Ch 5:13-14: It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 
So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God. 


Why Did The Cloud of Glory Come Down Over Israel? 
Because the ark of the Lord was brought into the Temple from Zion.

The ark of the covenant of the Lord was where the table of stone that Moses got on the mountain was. It also included the rod of Aaron that budded. It contained also the shew bread and other articles which God asked them to put in there for generations past. The ark was towered by angels who covered it with their wings. It was kept in the holy of holies where only the high priest could access once a year.

As believers today, we don’t have the physical ark of the covenant of the Lord, Israel itself don’t have it anymore, but it symbolizes the presence of God.

How Did They Give Thanks to God?
“…they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD.”

Let us lift up our voices, our instrument of music, hands, body and give thanks to God in all situations.
Giving thanks is the will of God and it brings down the presence of God into our lives (1Th 5:18).

They did not only give thanks with instruments of music and singing, they also gave sacrifices to God.

2Ch 5:6: "Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude."

Imagine! They “sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.”

When you give thanks to God with song and music and dancing, add a sacrifice to it.
​
You may not be able to sacrifice sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude, but you could give something to a needy person.

What Happens When we Give Thanks?
“…the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God."

Everytime the ark of the covenant was brought into the battle filed for Israel; their enemies disappeared because they know that the ark of the covenant signified victory for Israel because it was the presence of God.

When we bring the Presence of God into our lives, home, situation, family, work, etc, the cloud of glory of the Lord descends on us. Battles are won, victories is certain, our enemies disappears.

When we give thanks, the glory of God comes down. It came as a cloud to Israel. It was so thick the priests could not even minister, “So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.”

David knew and understood the power of bringing down God’s glory by the giving always. He wrote about this in many places in the book of Psalms.
  • Psa 106:1  Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
  • Psa 107:1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
  • Psa 118:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
  • Psa 118:29  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
  • Psa 136:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever

​What is the Cloud of Glory?
The cloud of glory could be a manifestation of long-awaited miracle, a blessing, healing, divine connection, or anything. Giving thanks moves not only the hand of God but God himself because God "inhabits in the praises of His people" (Psalm 22:3).

The cloud of glory descended on Israel as they did all these. The same cloud will descend on us as we do all these, too.

When the cloud comes down over our lives, home, family, situation, etc, it removes every dark cloud that may be hanging over us. Every dark cloud of death, sickness, illness, disease, shame, lack, etc, are removed, for where the cloud of glory of God is, no bad or evil things can exist there. For the cloud of glory of the Lord is the presence of God.

Experience the miracles of God in your life by bringing down the cloud of glory with thanksgiving, songs, instrument, and sacrifice. Do it as often as you can and watch the cloud comes down to lift any dark cloud hanging around you.
