THE MANIFEST PRESENCE OF GOD IS REAL.

TEXT: John 1:5. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.NIV

             There was this brother that went out two by two witnessing with another sister, they went somewhere to preach. As they were speaking, the woman said please you people should leave, if my husband comes it won’t be nice. So they continued talking. Finally the man came, he was a juju priest, and said, did they not tell you to leave? And they continued, so he took his staff and hit the young man on his leg and said leave. Finally they left, but he didn’t walk up to a pole before he began to limp and half of his body was going paralyzed.

            After many days we heard of his predicament and they told us they’ve tried taking him to the hospital. There are things x-ray can see, and there are things x-ray can’t see. So a message came from home for him to come home, and you know what is going to happen when they say come over home, you know where they are going to. We heard of it and the Lord laid it in our hearts to send for him. They brought him to the church, once he came in we saw him in his terrible state, the weather was cold, he was shivering, he was on his blue t-shirt (thick blue t-shirt), shivering, confused. And then when we saw it holy anger rose up from within and we wanted to start binding (you know that’s the normal thing). As we wanted to do that, the Lord said He’s not fighting with the kingdom of darkness. So the Lord said just praise me, not in the sense of singing any song, just praise me. So we put him in the middle, held hands together and started calling the name of God, you are glorious, you are the mighty man in battle, you are Jehovah, we just kept doing that and the whole place became charged with the presence of God.  The place became charged, this young man that was shivering was sweating profusely, the clothe began to get soaked, whatsoever went in was coming out now. As we were doing that, he at a point sprang up on his feet, broke out of the circle, dashed into the road shouting “I am free, I am free, I am free”.   So that he would not create a scene we had to call him back, checked him and he was perfectly restored.

             Beloved, the manifest presence of God is real. No matter what you are going through, you may have been praying about it for years, it may look like you are not getting answers, just wait ( Isaiah 40:31). The presence of the Lord will make the difference in your life in Jesus name.
