A few days ago, I saw a vision of God's hand on me. His hand came down from heaven, and just rested on me. A tree sprang up out of this experience, and that tree remained rooted within the weight (The Glory ) of our Heavenly Father. That's what glory means, literally -- weight. It has also been translated as honor, bosom, and goodness (Strong's Hebrew). That's what God's presence embodies.
This vision surprised me, in a good way. I figured out that He was showing me that His hand upon me would eventually bring about good fruit. This message has been confirmed bunches of times since then; I've heard teaches on the topic and been stumbling upon verses about it.
"This is what Yahweh says to me with His strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people..." Isaiah 8:11
If God has been hovering over you recently, be thankful! He releases an atmosphere of discipline over those He loves, when it's needed (Hebrews 12:6). He protects you and forces His covering of protection upon you. With grace of course! Sometimes God makes us press into Him, just so we can (re) realize that He's always been pressing into us.
The hand of God keeps us secure in spiritual warfare. It takes us away from the enemy; it makes us resist the devil (James 4:7). This time is a time of testing, sure, but it too shall pass.
It's important to carry with you the realization that God is there. He's over you; He's invaded your spirit, He's made you His. He's at your right hand and in your heart. He wants to overwhelm you with His presence. He wants to give you more glory, more weight, than you can handle. He will pressure you to change. He'll do it gently, but it's still pressure. It's still glory. It's still the beautiful drawing in of the Holy Spirit.
