Drifting from the Place of His Presence (3 of 7)
Series: God's Empowering Presence
Pastor Frank Damazio
Abraham had drifted from his place, gone down to Egypt but he then returns to the place where he had built an altar before. There he knows the place, the place of presence, voice, strength.
Place: A special spiritual location with purpose and function, connecting, communing, receiving.
• Andrew Murray: "The principle of complete dependence on the unseen God, and the holy habit of claiming His presence with us each moment of the day-this is the secret of a life of true godliness."
• Let us search and try our ways and turn again to the Lord
Let us lift up our hearts with our hands
Lift our hearts with our hands, Lift our hearts with our hands
Unto God in the heavens and turn again to the Lord

There is a place God desires you to return to, your secret place, your special place where God has spoken to you, forgiven you. A returning could be the best moment of your life.
It was said of Praying (John) Hyde: "He talked with Christ as with a friend, spending hours with Him. His inmost being was made radiant by Christ's abiding presence, and wherever he went Christ was revealed."
