Powerful Substance
The glory of God is the most powerful substance available to the believer. It is the very "force" of heaven, the gravity of God. Some time back I had a dream where I was in a church service and the glory fell in the place and knocked everyone to the ground. Then I heard the Lord speak the phrase during this dream saying, "this is my gravity!"
2 Corinthians 4:7 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us."
We know that we have this treasure on the inside of us. Christ in us the hope of glory. It is His surpassing glory and power within us. But how is the glory of God accessed? Through our worship and prayers His glory is manifested in our bodies, the temples of God. Don't you know that you are the temple of the Holy Ghost? (1 Cor. 6:19) This treasure is buried deep in our spirit. It does take the efforts of prayer and worship to access His glory where it becomes very real and effectual in our lives.
Cluster Anointing
In our corporate worship and prayer gatherings the glory is manifested in even more powerful ways because of the synergy of God's people joining together as one. An old friend of mine called this the "cluster anointing." When we get that cluster anointing activated corporately there is a widespread impact on darkness because the glory of God is His Light shining forth. God's Presence changes atmospheres. This happens by the glory of God being manifested in His people. We need more corporate glory gatherings that will blast the darkness out of our nation. We can change things in the natural all day long but if nothing changes in the spiritual realm there won't be a real change.
More than ever we need to shine. Jesus said that we need to shine as lights in this world where people can see. The glory is that light. When we talk of the glory of Jesus, we are referring to the light of Jesus. Just as He was so we are in this world, the light that shines. Our deeds are light. They flow from a life that is abiding in the Presence of God.
There is a weight to God's glory. It is a force that moves, drives out and exposes darkness. It literally pushes it out of the way. Take time to access that glory of heaven in your prayer and worship to God. Watch how it will shift the climate and atmosphere of not only your life, but those around you.

Have you ever struggled to live for God? To be a living sacrifice? Even to just do the things that please Him? Typically, the issue lies in the focus and "the means" of how that is to happen. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1 It is through tending to our relationship with God, our communion with the Spirit and focus on the Lord that we are transformed and able to live after His desires. It's all about the relationship.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out. Leviticus 6:12-13 Recently I had a dream encounter where the Lord spoke to me that there is a greater need for more "fire on the altar." In this it was apparent that there was a need for prayer to permeate and infiltrate the atmosphere of the region. I could literally sense that the atmosphere was not what it needed to be - more prayer was needed.
