1) The presence of the Lord: The key is to understand that there is a universal presence and a manifested presence of the Lord. The universal presence has to do God is omnipresent, everywhere, always, and all the time. To answer the theological question before it’s asked: Psalm 139:8 “If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.” But the universal presence is very different. It’s where the breach between parallel worlds opens. 2) Is our strength: How is God’s presence the form of our strength? God is our Creator. When we connect to His manifested presence, we (as His creation) are connected with our deepest origins. Job 32:8 states, “But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.” And Job also says, “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life” (Job 33:4). 3) The key to us understanding this power is to constantly access His presence so that we can continuously be energized with joy by His presence. That way, we can constantly walk in His joy and, as a result, in His power.
