In His Presence

 Psalm 16:11

Our text passage shows us there is joy and there are pleasures in the presence of God.

There is a type of joy we will never know or experience except we get into His presence.

We can access the presence of God and go into the presence of God regularly even daily.

In life we want joy, we all wish to live a life of joy.

In life we also want pleasures, that is why we seek all sorts of entertainment.

But those pleasures we get here are fleeting, they are temporary.

There is long lasting and permanent joy in the Lord's presence.

We access the presence of God through singing, through songs, the Lord loves music.

Psalm 100:2

Our rest is found in the Lord's presence.

Life can have its turbulent moments.

Life can have its difficult seasons.

That's why we need rest.

We have to find rest.

True rest, in a difficult world is found in the Lord's presence.

Exodus 33:14

The presence of God is also called the secret place.

We also access it through prayer.

Hebrews 4:16

We are to approach God with confidence and joy through Jesus Christ.

James 4:8

Psalm 16:11

The presence of God is a presence we cannot escape from.

His Spirit sees us always and witnesses all we do.

So the earlier we settle with making peace with the Lord's Spirit and presence, the better.

Psalm 139:7-8

We have to be conscious of God's presence with us as believers

His presence is with us as the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:19

His presence is with us as His kingdom within us.

Luke 17:21

His presence can grow and increase through us and within us by the word of God.

2 Peter 3:18

Let's be aware of God's presence with us and practice being in the presence of God.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
