Exodus 33:13-15: Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thysight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. [14] And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. [15] And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
This was Moses asking God to go on the journey with him. I would like us to read this message with rapt attention and hold it securely in your hands throughout this year.
Moses did not ask for signs and wonders or miracles; he asked God to show him His way. God answered by saying that His presence shall go withhim.
Many Christians are completely ignorant of the presence of God. Many ministers and pastors know nothing about the power of the presence of God. Anyone who has not experienced the power of God's presence has no right to stand and talk about Him because such people don't know Him.
Having the presence of God with us is worth more than riches or fame or power. We can go anywhere when the presence of God is with us. I can go to many places because His presence is with me. I don't care what direction it is, if the presence of God is there. A sleep is dangerous when the presence of God is absent. In the presence of God, there is fullness of joy but out of His presence,there is frustration, multiple demons,discouragement, sorrow, fear, sickness, sin, suicide, distress, etc.
The question I would like to ask us is this: Do we have the presence of God with us? Or have we lost His presence? More than anything else this year, ensure that you have His presence with you always.
Psalm 51:11: Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy Holy Spirit from me.
This is a powerful prayer. The Psalmist is trying to say that if God wants to take every other thing from him, He can, but God should allow him to always be in His Presence. He says God should not be silent about his matter; even if He wants to discipline him, He can but He should please not remove His Presence from Him.
We need to have the presence of the Lord in our lives; it is a wonderful experience. It is essential in our everyday life.
Moses had several problems with the children of Israel; often they would have stoned him to death then he would remember God's promise: my presence shall go with thee and I willgive thee rest.
That is, you can have trouble everywhere, fears, threatening outside. Since you have prayed and you know that the secret of knowingthe Lord is being in His presence, nothing will dismay you.
The closer you are to fire, the hotter you become; the farther you move away from fire, the cooler you become. The closer you move to the Lord, the more of His presence you have; the farther you move away from Him, the closer you are to the devil. It is a wonderful thing to be ithe presence of the Lord and it is a dangerous thing to be far from Him.
Woe betides the person who moves away from the presence of the Almighty God! When God vomits a person, the person抯 enemy will deal ruthlessly with the person. This is a very serious issue and I would advise that you pray the presence of God into your life today.
Genesis 4:16: And Cain went out fromthe presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Genesis 4:13: And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than Ican bear.
It is a great punishment to be out of God's presence. It is good to pray that you will not undergo this kind of punishment. Being struck dead by lightning is better than to undergo this kind of punishment. Falling on a person is better for mountains and rocks than to undergo this kind of punishment. Losing a leg and hand is also better for a person or eye, than to go through it. Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and he allowed envy to push him out of the place of blessing - from the Presence of the Lord.
Genesis 3:8: And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
The Lord God used to go into the garden, in the evenings, to have fellowship with Adam and Eve but when they sinned against Him, they could no longer behold His face. They had to hide from His presence. They used to live well but sin broke their relationship with God. They were pushed out of the garden, from the presence of the Lord because they disobeyed God and refused to put theblame where it belonged.
One thing that is common these days in the midst of Christians is the fact theyput blames on others when things go wrong.
Beloved, if you go wrong, it is you that you should be blamed, not the church or your wife or husband or parents, not even the devil should be blamed for your mistakes but yourself.
People say it is the devil that pushed them to do one thing or the other, they forget that it is the job of the devil to steal, kill and destroy; he does it effectively when he is given the chance. You are to stay at your own post and do your job well.
When you find yourself in error, repent, cry unto the Lord and repair the relationship between you and Him so that God can reestablish the relationship, and you will be in His Presence again.
Jonah went out of the presence of God and he paid dearly for it. All men and women, who have ever made progress in the Lord had at one time or the other had an encounter with Him. No other thing should be important if you have not seen the Lord. Groom up your spiritual life andhave an encounter with Him. Drop any other thing that will hinder you from seeing the Lord. If you had no encounter with Him, and all that should die are still alive in you, you have not started.
Moses got to a point where he wanted to see God. He saw just the backside and the glory of God shone upon Him and when he got back to the Israelites, they could not behold his face. It glowed and they had to put a veil on his face. When you see the Lord and have His presence with you, no demon or witchcraft power can harm you. You need to pray to the point of having an encounter with the Lord so that His presence will always be with you.
When you are continually in His presence, you will not be bothered about the world or what people say about you or do to you.
Isaiah, Jacob, Moses, etc., encountered the Lord and their lives never remained the same. When you have His presence around you, no power of darkness can stand before you.
