THE MANIFEST PRESENCE OF GOD (PART 8)

3^RD APRIL

TEXT: John 1:5-7 (KJV)
⁵  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
⁶  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
⁷  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

   

  The bible says “Light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not”. How long would we be running from them? When you are not sure of your work with God you run from them. When you are sure of your work with God you confront them, I explain this, and if you are not sure you are in trouble.  There was this brother that went out two by two witnessing with another sister, and they went to somewhere to preach. As they were speaking the woman said please you people leave, if my husband came’s it won’t be nice. So they continued talking, and they were 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 the leg and said leave. Finally somehow they left but he didn't walk to a pole before he began to limp, and half of his body was going paralyzed. They went for two by two witnessing, but I wonder how they went. It is dangerous to just be doing church without the presence of God. And so we didn't know. After many days we heard of his predicament and they told us they've tried took to the hospital. There are things x-ray can see, there are things x-ray can’t see. They took him to hospital he was getting worse.  So 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. And we heard of that and the Lord laid it in our hearts to send for him. They brought him to the church and I still remember vividly, that day was a Thursday, the women were having their meeting right at the church, the opposite was the pastorium, and we had one small structure erected for the children and some other stuff. So we took him there and once he came we saw him in his terrible state, the weather was cold, he shivering. I can still see him on his blue t-shirt (thick blue t-shirt) shivering, confused. And then 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 is not fighting the kingdom of darkness. Our God and the devil are not mates, sometimes we make the devil look so powerful, and he’s not. 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 our hands together and started calling the name of God, you are glorious, you are mighty, you are the ancient of days, you are the mighty man in battle, you are Jehovah, we just kept doing that and the place became charged with the presence of God. When the King of kings steps in you can tell He’s here. The place became charged, this young man that was shivering was sweating profusely. The clothes began to get soaked; whatsoever went in was coming out now. And 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”. Now we had to so that he will not make a scene because there were women meeting in church, and so we called him back, checked him, perfectly restored.

      No matter what you going through, you may have been praying about that thing for years it may look like you’re not getting answers, just wait, just wait. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up wings like eagles, and they shall run and not be weary and walk and not faint. The presence of the Lord will make the difference in your life in Jesus name.
