The presence of God carries the power of God – Psalm
68 verse 1.
The Presence of God is in the Word of
God. That is why the Word of God does not return to Him void. The manifest
presence of God is in the Word of God. To receive His manifest presence in our
midst, we must be truly prepared for Him, consecrated and sanctified. When we
are dealing, interacting with the Word of God, we are dealing, interacting with
the Person, one of the Personalities of the Godhead who does not lie (1st
Samuel Chapter 15 verse 29, Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19); who does not fail
(Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13) and because He does not change, He makes good
every wonderful promise He makes to us.
The Presence of God is not in carefully chosen songs
or in certain practiced ways of singing, drumming, dancing, preaching or
walking. The Presence of God is in a person’s total yielded-ness to God; to
allow God through His Holy Spirit and His word to always have His way in your
life irrespective of what you think appears better. Give God the space and He
will live in you and your heart at all times. The presence of God is in His
word because God is the word made flesh. See John Chapter 1 verses 1 to 5. The
ultimate goal of Bible study is fellowship with God, to know God – grow in the
knowledge and understanding of God. It is not a legalistic ritual that compels
or obliges God to provide for us, protect us or expand us. Rather, it is a
daily meeting of reaffirming our love and commitment to God.
