David the only one ever described, as a “man after God’s heart” loved the presence of God more than anything else! It was his one desire above all other desires – Psalm 27:4.
When we declare His greatness and His magnificent works, something happens in our hearts and the atmosphere around us. He comes, makes Himself real to us and empowers us, to go and make Him known. For too long the Church has survived on the “where two or three gather in my name there am I in the midst.” But there’s no tangible difference – people leave the same way they came. The time has come to hunger after His manifest presence! Is anyone else hungry?
Look at the difference after Pentecost – the difference was night and day! The Presence of God is a conscious awareness of the revelation of who Jesus is - His Word and Works. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Everyone was in “awe.” It was the difference maker then and it is the difference maker now!
Develop your presence of God taste buds by:
- - Choosing to be a worshipper – daily listen to “live” worship CD’s,
- - Meditating in His Word and then obeying it – have a plan to read the Bible,
- - Praying and fasting – sharpens us and helps us connect with God,
- - Being still in His Presence – listening and waiting with expectation!
