The Glory Of His Presence
September 22, 2016
Devotions:
“"Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 'Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:9-10 NASB
Dwelling is entering into heavenly realm through God's righteousness. Instead of waiting until you die to experience God's presence and love we are called to enter in now. We are called enter into His glory that fills heaven. Moses asked to see the glory of the Lord and God said that Moses could not see the fullness of that glory and goodness and live. Moses still had sin because Jesus had not died. But we have been cleasned from all our sin by the blood of Jesus. We then choose to pursue His presence and as Moses asked to see God's glory and to know His ways. God granted it, God is looking for those who care enough to ask to see His glory to know His ways, to seek His presence that He could grant it.
As we dwell in His presence it does not mean that we will not be attacked but from His presence we gain knowledge how to repell the attacker. We walk in faith because we have taken the time to hear from the Father and we walk in victory.
Our wholeness comes only from His presence manifested in our lives. There is no brokenness or sickness and disease in heaven. Heaven is heaven because that is where God has totally rules. We do not see God's rule here totally because God had turned the rule of the world over to Adam who turned it over to Satan when Adam disobeyed, disbelieved God and believe the devil instead. But in Jesus the first fruits of the restoration of God's absolute sovereign rule is restored in us who are born again and as we walk in our inheritance by choosing to walk in His manifested presence. This not only effects us but also those around us.
