LIVING IN GOD’S PRESENCE 

​Living in the Manifested Presence of God.

Psalm 91:1 ,assures us that:

“He that DWELLS (lives) in the SECRET PLACE of the MOST HIGH shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”. 

+The SECRET PLACE of the Lord MOST HIGH is HIS MANIFESTED PRESENCE. 

+How do we get into, and dwell in the SECRET PLACE of the MOST HIGH?

John 14:23 tells us that,Jesus answered and said: “If a man LOVES me, he will keep my words: and my Father will LOVE him, and WE will come unto him, and make our ABODE (dwell or live) with him”. 

+The DWELLING PLACE, SECRET PLACE or MANIFESTED PRESENCE of the Lord begins with us LOVING Him OBEDIENTLY. 

+To LOVE God OBEDIENTLY is to do all things from our hearts in LOVE, TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, HOLINESS, and FAITH. 

+The SECRET PLACE of the Lord MOST HIGH is HIS MANIFESTED PRESENCE. 

+How do we get into, and dwell in the SECRET PLACE of the MOST HIGH?

Psalm 66:18 informs us that :

If I regard INIQUITY in my heart, the Lord will not hear me,nor you. 

INIQUITY: Sin, evil, wickedness and such like things. 

+Before we get into the DWELLING PLACE, SECRET PLACE, or MANIFESTED PRESENCE of the Lord we must repent from all know sins, and make sure that we are living in Love, Truth, Righteousness, Holiness and Faith. 

+The third thing to practice in order to enter the SECRET PLACE of the Lord MOST HIGH and HIS MANIFESTED PRESENCE is Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship. 

Psalm 100:4 tells us to;

“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and BLESS HIS NAME”. 

2 Chronicles 5:13-14 says,

“It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For He is Good; for His mercy endures forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the GLORY of the LORD had filled the house of God”. 

+Let us always give unto the Lord the Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship that will maintain His MANIFESTED PRESENCE in our lives. Hallelujahs to Jesus!!!

+The fourth thing to practice in order to enter and live in the SECRET PLACE and the MANIFESTED PRESENCE of the MOST HIGH is PRAYER. 

In Luke 18:1

Jesus said: That men ought always to pray, and not to faint… Ephesians 6:18 

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…

+The Word of God clearly illustrates that God uses our prayers to Divinely Intervene in our lives and circumstances. Thusly the Presence and Power of God is Manifested for His Works and Glory and also for our Victories.  

“Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” [Psalms 16:9‭-‬11].

+Remember prayers are means by which we enter and dwell in the SECRET PLACE and the MANIFESTED PRESENCE of the MOST HIGH God. Hallelujah!!!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
