Who or What Raised Jesus from the Dead?

Yes, that's my question...Who or what raised Jesus from the dead? I've heard it preached that it was an angel sent by God, or the power of God, or the hand of God, etc
But what really raised Jesus, what does the Bible say?
Romans 6:4...'just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father...'
So what is the glory...? It's not a commonly preached topic now but in the early 1900's until the 70's it was a favorite at the pulpit. Ruth Ward Heflin always spoke about the Glory of God in all of her camp meetings.
She said, "Praise until the spirit of worship comes. Worship until the glory comes. Then stand in the glory."



The glory seems to be a realm or an atmosphere that brings the revelation and pure Presence of God...wow! We wonder how the ministers of the early days did such wondrous miracles? They stood in the glory, without stress or wondering how it would happen, because they were in the glory. It was literally an atmosphere of Heaven brought down to earth! This is how we were meant to live our every day lives...it is what He desires for us, 'On earth as it is in heaven' remember?

So we need vibrant praise, deep worship and then the Glory comes...and you can have it even in your prayer closet and then walk around all day in the glory. Decide one day to put away your long prayer list of what you want Him to do for you, do you think He does not know already? Then praise Him with all your heart and then worship Him likewise and I promise you...you will see the Glory of God show up; sometimes even physically with manifestations...Ha!

But remember, He utterly delights in you and wants to spend time with you!
