THE PRESENCE OF GOD

THE PRESENCE OF GOD

"PSALM 16 :11" In thy presence is fullness of Joy,,,

God's desire is that his presence goes with us every where we go. Adam was meant to retain God's presence and make God's presence grow with him but Adam  made a mistake. Emmanuel is God with us to bring God's presence to us.

Many things that happen are at the point of the presence of God. The devil wants to constantly make us do things that will drive us away from the presence of God because he knows that everything we need from God can be gotten by the presence of God. "Exodus 33:1-6" The Isrealites had seen the presence of God. God told Moses about his promise to Abraham and that he would send an angel before them to drive out the various tribes residing in the land he had sworn to their fathers. Because they were a stiff necked people, God told them an Angel will go with them and that his presence will not go with them. If God goes with them and they resist him he may show his anger upon them. "Exodus 33:7-13" Moses entered into the tabernacle of God and God talked with Moses there. The Isrealites saw the cloud at the altar of his tabernacle and worshiped God.

God spoke to Moses as a man speaks to a friend. After Moses's time with God, in "Exodus 33:14" God said my presence shall go with thee even though he initially said he will not go with them. It is dangerous to be in the presence of God and not obey him. Because his presence can consume you if he gets angry with you. Every christian needs to enter the holy of holies. Now every christian can experience the presence of God. "Hebrew 10:19" We can enter the holy of holies by the blood of the lamb.

WHY SEEK GOD'S PRESENCE

"There are things that remain until the presence of God comes"  Psalm 114:1-8 When the presence of God came in Judah, the sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back. the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. Someone asked the sea, the Jordan , the mountain and hills why they fled, turned back and leaped like rams and lambs.

"Isaiah 64:1-4" Things that can take years to solve are solved instantly, at the presence of God mountains tremble. God is everywhere but when his presence is concentrated on a person or place, things that seem impossible flee at his presence. "Micah 1:3-4" Mountains melted as wax in God's presence. There is nothing the presence of God cannot do. "Luke 1:5-10" There is righteousness before Man and righteousness before God. Zechariah and his wife were righteous before God. but they were childless. While on his spiritual assignment worshiping, an Angel of the Lord appeared and spoke to him that his prayers have been answered and his wife will bear a son. He did not believe, so the angel introduced himself as Gabriel and that he stands in the presence of God and so he told Zechariah that because he doubted he will not be able to speak until the day this happened.

What determines where we are, is how saturated we are with the presence of God. Our problem is no match for the presence of God. Mountains have melted as if it is just wax. Whatever we can do to activate God's presence around us, we have to constantly do it.

When prayer is ceaseless with a pure heart the presence of God is there
Where the word of God is read out there is power and God's presence.
"Eph 5: 18-20"- The presence of God can be experienced by making melody with Psalms and hymns from our heart.
always giving thanks to God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 24:7 Let the king of glory come in.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me all my sins and cleanse me from all my iniquities. Cancel my name from the book of death and place my name in the book of life. Come into my life and Let me experience your presence Jehovah God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ i pray.
