Well-Diggers & Glory-Carriers, Pt. 2

Part 2 has been a long time coming I know. You can't accurately and authentically write, provide content or give narrative about something unless you've had first hand account. Be it through a physical accumulation of knowledge, observation through education or first-hand experience. These experiences are what help to give real-time language to Heaven's movements.

If you’ve attended some university, primarily at a graduate or doctorate level, then you understand that there’s field work or some sort of field study involved after the introduction of every thesis. The field work or field study exists to prove or make apparent a truth you have introduced in your study. When a doctoral candidate performs field work, it’s not for the benefit of that student, but it is for the benefit of those who will eventually come in contact with a new truth – often times giving the person who has introduced the truth a greater and deeper understanding of his work in order to effectively explain it either written or verbally.

FIELD STUDY

In Well-Diggers & Glory-Carriers Part 1, we talked extensively about the rise of Well-Diggers and how important wells, new wells are in this current age of revival. We've discussed how these apostolic, modern-day revivalists are "catalysts" for this end-time movement and how these concepts parallel to fire.

I’ve often felt compelled to pair these two terms together when posting or referencing the subject and careful NOT to separate either terminology (Well-Diggers or Glory-Carriers) in an attempt to prophetically emphasize what is supernaturally happening in the earth. When God speaks and when He is moving, more often than not, His “words” or “expressions” are too large to be contained audibly. God is much larger than our finite minds can even begin to comprehend. He is a supernatural Being that exists OUTSIDE of time. Therefore, how He chooses to express Himself can differ (and does). Similar to the expression of love from a husband to his wife or vice-versa. Often times, when they are in love, saying I love you is great, but simultaneous expressions of that truth in different ways helps to drive the point home (flowers, a kiss, a hug, a gift, etc) through different dimensions, levels and intentions, often prompting the receiver to experience the sincerity, depth and the weight of the giver’s heart. Multi-dimensional expressions for a multi-dimensional God.

Without veering too far off from our subject, I wanted to communicate a prophetic example of how God is choosing to speak or express Himself now AND how he’s choosing to express what He’d like to occur in this hour. He’s raising up apostolic teams to usher in a new movements of true revival in earth. GONE are the days of the one-man show. In order to experience TRUE revival, there is a rise of an anointing for Well-Diggers (those who “create" or open up space – spiritual spaces, vacuums and realms) and Glory-Carriers (those whose are assigned to “fill the space”).

In other words, as explained in Part 1, in the natural, excavation with an actual drill occurs in order to “create space” for a well. Well-digging companies will often use a very large and heavy drill to "power through" stony soil and earth to make way for a well that will eventually be filled with water. Visualize this process happening spiritually. There is a well-digging anointing (Apostolic) that goes forth to create space or open/unlock the places where God wants to move or how He wants to move in a specific place or moment. It takes a Glory-Carrier to fill that space with God’s nature; or to release what God wants to occur in that Kairos or Metron space of time. This action occurring fulfills Heaven’s agenda for that moment, assignment, mandate, etc – and THIS is how Heaven invades the earth; giving credence to Matthew 6:10, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it (already) is in Heaven.

FALSE GLORY- CARRIERS AND EMPTY VESSELS

Let's back up and examine God’s terminology for who or what a modern-day Glory-Carrier is:

First, let’s start with what a Glory-Carrier IS NOT. It’s not a title. It’s not something one can just put on and take off at will. It is not a fad or a pressing fancy. It is not an exterior coating that can be peeled off like old wallpaper. Glory-Carriers are not man-made but they have been created with a precious and a heavenly intent which is for God’s purpose. Because of what God has divinely placed on the inside of a Glory-Carrier's vessel by His Hand, they are governed by GOD and the system of Heaven. God Himself has MADE room for Himself within that vessel. Therefore, they (glory-carriers) are not bound to trends, people, systems (especially religious ones), perceptions, traditions or intentions. Glory-Carriers exist for nothing more than to “carry/release” God’s glory and execute heaven’s agenda; advancing the Kingdom of God.

Backing all the way up: the Glory of God is the character, nature and the very essence of God. (Hebrews 1:3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high). It is an aspect (or aspects) of His character at a depth, level or weight of His manifested presence that He’s chosen to reveal at a given time, in a given space. God’s glory in time and outside of time. It is in Heaven and on earth. It is all at once or it is over a span of time. His Glory is sacred, holy and precious and in order for God’s character or His nature to show up, there must be “room” made for all that He is and all that He chooses to display. In order words, there must be a space, time, or a moment “prepared” or offered to Him and for Him.

Likewise, when we speak of a “Glory-Carrier” – it is quite literally “one who has made room (voluntarily or involuntarily) to carry the very ‘nature’ of God and the DNA of heaven.” It is not a term to be taken lightly OR used religiously. It not a term to be thrown around and assigned to just anyone. A Glory-Carrier is one with direct access to the dealings of heaven. How does one make room to carry the Glory of God? Through sacrifice and extended consecration. These vessels have an innate awareness of their purpose and have “sold out” to ensure its entire execution. Some examples of Glory-Carriers:

• Mary – she carried Jesus

• Elizabeth – she carried John the Baptist

• Hannah – she carried Samuel

• Esther – she carried strategy

• Moses – he carried deliverance

• David – he carried worship

• John – he carried revelation

• Paul – he carried power

• Jesus – he carried a mankind's mandate

In the examples above, each of the vessels all went through a time of preparation in order to carry the true nature of God as He desired to express; there was a sacrifice made. They all carried something that would transform the trajectory of mankind in someway. Glory-carriers carry the ability (which is God's nature) to shift and transform atmospheres, cities, nations and even the world. Just as kings, queens and members of a royal court are groomed (or prepared) for the positions they will ultimately occupy, often from birth, so is the course for a Glory-carrier.

Preparation and sacrifice made that makes room for the glory or the “nature of God” to be carried and subsequently released at an appointed time(s). The preparation or sacrifices made are often involuntary. There is a shaking and a pressing that occurs throughout the glory-carrier’s life that creates vacuums or spaces within that vessel. Preparation is God’s way of creating the capacity (or a well) expressly He needs to shew forth His glory in the dimension, level and magnitude He needs in a given metron (sphere or space of influence) of time.

GIVE ME GLORY OR GIVE ME DEATH

Like it or not, agree with it or not, God is CLEAR about where He (His nature) chooses to abide and how He wants it handled. in many Bible instances God gave specific and clear instructions about how He wanted things built or handled - often with no explanation why. In the story of Uzzah and the Ark of Covenant (2 Samuel 6:1-7; 1 Chronicles 13:9-12), there were four, consecrated priests who were prepared and set aside to carry it.

While the Ark was being transported, a Levite named Uzzah took hold of the Ark because the oxen that was pulling the cart it was on stumbled. The Bible states that "God's anger burned against Uzzah and He struck him down and he died." When something tries to tamper, handle, carry, usher, assist the glory that has not been properly prepared, assigned, set aside for, or ordained to do so -- even unknowingly, a spirit of death (this death can be spiritual or even physical; death of ministry, death of anointing, etc) now has legal right.

MAKE NO MISTAKE: God is VERY particular about who or what He will place His glory (His nature) in.

GLORY-CARRIERS HAVE WEIGHT

The glory of God is weighty. This means it is tangible, it has substance and it is heavy. Creating room or space for something of this supernatural magnitude infers that the container has to be durable. What better way to confirm if a vessel can sustain the weight of something (namely God’s glory) than by putting it through a series of “stress tests” – often (what seems like) a lifetime of grueling hardships and instances. Most glory-carriers have endured through some of life’s challenging circumstances. Many of these vessels have perservered through life’s afflictions. Often, not by choice, but because they have been chosen to. 1 Corinthians 4:17 further substantiates, For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Here, we have Heaven’s supernatural way of qualifying a vessel and creating “space/room” within that vessel to carry the weighted glory of God. The greater the pressure(s), the bigger the capacity and the heavier the weight. The greater the sacrifice the heavier the weight and the more of God’s glory He can trust that vessel to carry. With each grueling but divine “stress-test” and every trying affliction, the Glory-Carrier emerges with a new appetite and thirst for God. Matthew 5:6 denotes that those that hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled – why, because there was room made.

WORKING TOGETHER

So how do well-diggers and glory-carriers work together? They supernaturally work together to produce divine moments and heavenly spaces where God can manifest in an earthly dimension that heaven has already declared. SUPERNATURALLY, which means outside of the realm of the natural. So (Matthew 6:10), Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven). It is important to know that well-diggers/glory-carriers can and may be comprised of individuals, a group or company, or even an entire ministry.

It is also safe to say that BOTH anointings can operate within one entity. However, discernment, obedience and sensitivity is key to understanding what heaven wants, what heaven requires, what must be released, when it must be released and where it must be released and how it must be released in order to have proper alignment with heaven’s will for a given moment or space. In other words, all other agendas should DIE.

Therefore, if a Well-Digger creates space, then a Glory-Carrier fills that space with God’s nature (through exhortation, word or song). The name says it all. If a Well-Digger plows and creates the appropriate space and there is no Glory-Carrier to release God’s glory, then exposure occurs because truth has entered the building. That moment now becomes a vacuum or an empty expanse (space). Or, if a Glory-Carrier shows up and there has been no “space” made by a well-digger then there is the risk of - what I'd like to call - Apostolic Innovation Terminologies: 1) negative spiritual exertion; 2) low spiritual exertion; or 3) false spiritual exertion.

• Negative spiritual exertion – time and energy spent or wasted with no progression which results in wear, tear, frustration and fatigue of a vessel(s). No breakthrough or transformation occurs; which often creates very emotional, hallow and empty religious performances. Think: a car stuck in the snow or mud and the driver pressing the accelerator and wheels are turning but there is no movement. God’s not glorified here.

• Low spiritual exertion – produces a low spiritual climate and often results in a “mixey” environment. Breakthroughs or transformations may occur, but are often unsustainable and inconsistent. A spiritually low climate breeds hypocrisy, religion, compromise and encourages comfortability. This can also result in premature burnout of a vessel(s) and cause a revisiting of basic concepts and principles over and over; producing "spiritual dwarfism" and yielding very slow to no progression.

• False spiritual exertion – produces false spaces or false realms (counterfeit) that “look” like true heavenly places. These spaces are often devoid of God’s spirit and is replaced with a spirit of divination complete with soulish acts or performances. It causes false progression or progression in the wrong direction often time resulting in an “upside down” or “breech” climate. (Matt 23:37-38; 1 Samuel 4:21-22, Ichabod). Think: a baby that has developed “breech” and attempting to deliver feet first. For health reasons, the doctor must either manually turn the baby around in the mother’s womb OR the doctor must surgically remove the baby from the womb through a c-section (a cutting of the midsection and removal of the baby [or babies] from its place of growth) so the baby and mother can both live.

Note: Counterfeit glory-carriers (vessels of brass) also contribute to false spiritual exertion.

If we are going to truly usher in the type of revival God actually intended, then true Well-Diggers and Glory-Carriers are crucial in this end-time revival movement. We need more spiritually sensitive and mature vessels who are tuned into what God wants to occur in a ministry, a moment, in a region, city or in a nation. It's time for God's agenda to supercede man's agenda and Heaven is calling for sanctified, purified, apostolic and tried vessels who are not man-made but have been divinely prepared by the finger of God for now. LET GOD ARISE!!!! REVIVALISTS ARISE!!!
