Prayer
Force: Cultivating coming into the Presence
of God
The presence
of God is life changing and produces in a person the plan and purposes of God
as they walk through their daily life.
It is not that you stop being a normal person with normal
concerns…rather it is that you are strengthened by the presence of the King. Many folks have tasted of His presence in
church or a revival meeting and have placed His Presence in the once in a great
while file…God wants us to cultivate a relationship with Him that will allow
Him to be welcome any time of day or night.
His strength is powerful. I won’t
say it is always easy, but from experience I can say the rewards are
great. There are always obstacles to
forming a good habit. Learning to come into God’s presence is no exception and
in fact this habit is targeted for defeat by our enemy the devil. An overcoming life that gives the believer
strength to walk through life’s trials and difficulties with the ability to
effectively reach out to those around us who are in need catches the attention
of the enemy. He knows that placing
ourselves in the secret place of the Most High God brings us to that place of
victory. Don’t fret because Holy Spirit
can help us overcome any obstacle and God has given us His armor to defend
against any attack of the enemy. The
Word tells us to boldly come to the throne of grace. Over the next days as we approach
Resurrection day I’d like to discuss steps to coming into God’s throne room and
into His life changing presence.
Today I
found something I’ve been searching for since my graduation from Valley Forge
Christian College in 1986. A friend gave
me a Scottish Bible that I loved. It had
Psalms from an old version. I misplaced
the Bible. Here is Psalms 91 in that
sweet version. The wording is different
than we are used to…but give it a read and tell God you desire His
presence. http://www.cgmusic.org/workshop/presby1887/psalm_91.htm also here is a song that leads to the throne
room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4CRvAPzxjI&feature=share
