Presence of the Lord

Exodus  33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Today we will meditate upon the presence of the Lord.

Lord has promised his children that his presence will go with them. Wherever they go.

What does the presence of the Lord do to a believer?

1. Presence of the Lord gives you rest from all your troubles. (Exodus 33:14)
2. Presence of the Lord gives you joy in the heart. (Psalms 16:11)
3. Presence of the Lord protects you from stumbling (Psalms 17:2)
4. Presence of the Lord protects you from your enemies. ( Psalms 31:20)
5. Presence of the Lord drives away the wicked plans of the enemy. (Psalms 68:2)
6. Presence of the Lord gives you a thankful heart.(Psalms 95:2)
7. Presence of the Lord will satisfy all your needs (Psalms 100:2)

How should we come into the presence of the Lord.

1. We should come with fear and trembling acknowledging the sins we have committed in his presence.(Psalms 114:7) ( Jeremiah 5:22)
2. We should come with full faith and expectations knowing that He will fulfill all our petitions ( Hebrews 10:22)

How will we know we are in his presence?

1. When we are in his presence he will speak to us with a small still voice and guide us for the task we need to do. (Isaiah 30:21)
2. We will receive peace in our heart when we come into his presence. (Philippians 4:7)
3. When we will come into his presence we will be filled with hope and joy ( 1 Thessalonians 2:19).

Saints, let's speak like Moses.

Exodus  33:15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.

Let's come into his presence acknowledge him as God and Saviour. He is eager to hear from you and yearns for your fellowship.

Hebrews  3:15  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

God bless
