The presence of the Lord is the most important thing that we have in our lives. What do we have without the presence? We have a lot of things going on. Maybe we can live a pretty good life. Maybe we can have good morals and things like that.
Doing right to other people, and all of that's wonderful. But it's not the presence of the Lord. Our relationship to Him is the most important thing that we have in our lives. There's so many things out there that would like to take us away from that, and redirect us into something that's good. It sounds wow, that's the best thing you could do.
Is it where His presence is? This whole idea of walking, living, fellow-shipping in His presence. The Word says that where two or three are gathered together, there am I in the midst. But when we come together, just love each other with His love, He's here. He's right here in our presence. He loves us with an everlasting completeness of love.
To be in His presence, I relate with being in His Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. That's who the Word is. This phrase that keeps popping up from time to time about “not by power nor by might, but by My spirit, saith the Lord.” It only happens when we're in His presence.
If we're not in His presence, then how does the Spirit move in our midst? How does the Spirit move amongst us, in us, through us, to minister the life that is there, the love that is there - the whole aspect of who our Father is comes through these earthen vessels. And what more could we ask or think or believe if all we are those worshipers, that worship Him and lift up our praise to Him. That's all we have and that's all who we are. That's all He wants.
The more that we're filled with His presence, the more the reality that we experience with Him. Come up a little higher into My presence. Come on up a little higher. Reach up into more of God. Recognize that He's with you and worship Him. By faith, lose your will to speak the Word that you move into the presence of God with.
There's an unformed substance within our being, and it's called the Father. The undefinable is the presence of the Father. See, we can't define God. We try, and He gives us little peeks of His nature, like faith, but that's minute to the presence of God, because you can't put Him in a box. God's faith! Try to put him in a box like that. You can't.
You can't put God in a box. He's exceedingly abundantly beyond what we can ask or think. What we have to learn to do is how we tie together His attributes. Because that's what He's trying to pour out upon us. He's trying to pour out Himself.
All that He has. He is willing to pour out Himself in every gift, every one of His aspects of His nature is open for us to appropriate, put into practice, all we have to do is ask Him. That's why every first step in a walk with God is humility. We're all reaching into something that is a part of His nature. Because of that, there's no such thing as right or wrong. There's a thing of what is God doing right now. What's He doing in you right now?
He's everything. He's in you. He is. You can't say God is this or God is that you can't say He's just faith. You can't say He's just love. You can't say He's just this or that. He's all of it.
I think the greatest miracles, there are the Lord Christ, and the Father, and the Holy Spirit becoming in each of us in the body of Christ. But as individuals, we are the fearfully and wonderfully made it. We have to conform to what He is in us.
It's the Lord becoming alive, Christ in us so alive, and so real in His fullness that reveals the Heavenly Father. And that Heavenly Father is who we bow down and worship. God is calling us to enter into knowing His Spirit, His realms. I am like my Father.
Him filling every single part of our being, body, soul, and spirit. I'm seeing a picture today. of what God has intended for His people all along. It's not about having a small portion of God, it's about getting the whole picture, the big picture, of what God wants to do, first in us, and then going out into the earth.
There is nothing that God will deny us if we ask Him for it, because He is manifesting Himself in each one of us, and our hearts are drawn to the Father wanting to be where He's at. You want to make God's day? Tell Him that you love Him, and you want to love Him more. God, you're everything to me, and that's what we do when we voice our trust, love. That's the worship He's looking for. He loves us, He's created us, he gave His only begotten Son for us that we might worship Him.
God wants to show us the expansion of who He is. He is not limited. And the minute you put Him in a box, and say, this is God, He'll show you something else that really is God. God is a creative being. If you don't believe it, just look around at all the evidence. In fact, in Romans, it says people don't have an excuse because of the way God created things, and what's created that we can see with our eyes. He created the heavens and the earth. He's spoken. It was.
