THE GLORY OF GOD’S PRESENCE (PART 5)

FEB. 24TH

TEXT: Numbers 11:25 and 1 Samuel 10:9-11King James Version (KJV).
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

1 Samuel 10:9-11King James Version (KJV)
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

There is a supernatural dimension to worship that is expected to be the norm when we worship, but it is unfortunate that this is scarce to find these days. We see mega churches with sophisticated equipments worth millions of dollars, but the worship is devoid of the power and glory of God. They are more like a religious theatre than a place of divine encounter. Whatever is only capable of amusing your soul but not capable of captivating your spirit with the power and presence of God, is only an amusement park.
In the days of trouble, you do not need an amusement park, you need a place where you can hear, “Thus saith, the Lord.” This life is full of many unpredictable twists and turns, you cannot afford to be careless. Get yourself into a place where you can be truly intimate with God so you can hear and encounter Him for yourself.
If we are truly in His presence, there will be manifestations that we cannot explain ourselves. Whenever we truly worship, we experience a reverential awe that leaves in us a consciousness of the presence of God. How often do you encounter such power and glory? Do something serious about your walk with God today. Shalom!
