"The Glow"

Anyone have any stories about the mystical "Glow" Apostolics are said to take on after a powerful Holy Ghost experience?

My pastor just recently told a story about how one night after service he and his family and a few other church members went out to eat and when they walked into the restaurant a waitress looked at them and said "Wow! You guys are glowing!"

I've also heard it said that the aforementioned "Glow" is why "Apostolic ladies don't need no makeup", lol.

What about you?

The glow is a very happy look on the face. That's all.

The sinner may see a "glow" as a sign/wonder. The Lord has a way of attracting souls to holiness saints.

Re: "The Glow"

I honestly have no idea what you are referring to. Maybe some biblical reference via Moses and Jesus but I haven't noticed a visual "Glow" about people.

I can tell a difference but I don't think I would characterize it as a glow...

Re: "The Glow"

I don't know if they still have it, but my parents used to have an article they cut out of the OKC newspaper when the UPCI General Conference was there. The article mentioned a glow on the women. I don't know the exact verbiage, but my father has referenced it in his messages over the years.

Re: "The Glow"

I have seen and have experienced this glow-- as told to me by others.

Once after I was done praying for awhile, but this experience and compliment was many, many years ago.

The "glow" I was referring to, is a "sense" of purity in a Holy Ghost filled believer that the sinner observes. They look holiness in appearance, but also in the sinners' intuitiveness...



Just like a Godly woman can sense a pervert a mile away, the sinner can sense a saint intuitively.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
