Living In His Presence (4 of 7)
Series: God's Empowering Presence
Pastor Frank Damazio
Gen 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
2 Cor 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people."
• His Presence: omnipresence, everywhere
• Manifested Presence: place, cities, nations
• Personalized Presence: felt-realized, actual presence of God's presence that moves us, molds us, keeps us.
• Shadow: As the shadow of a man represented his likeness and proximity, so the shadow of God intimated the moral and spiritual presence of the living God among his people.
• In a region of burning heat, sand and rocks, a shadow was a place of enormous comfort! A place of protection!
Isa 51:16 And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are My people.'"
• God wills that we should push on into his presence and live our whole live there.
• Do you have an absence of personal presence?
Into thy presence we come
Not by any works we have done
But by thy grace and by thy grace alone
Into thy presence we come
INTRODUCTION: We are on a journey together to find the place of God's empowering presence. For each one of us personally and for our church corporately. We have defined the empowering presence of God and we have identified the departure markers of those who may have left their place of God's presence. Madame Guyon said, "I have found it easy to obtain the presence of God. He desires to be more present to us than we are to seek Him. He desires to give Himself to us more readily than we are to receive Him." "Close your eyes and follow your breath to the still place that leads ...
