Precious Moments In His Presence
While here on this earth, the greatest gift God has given us is His precious presence. Those who recognize His incredible presence and tap in are those who experience the glorious place where heaven meets earth! Nothing is more delightful than to be raptured up into the ecstasy of God’s presence during your intimate times with him. It is truly indescribable, immeasurable, and inexpressible! Though familiar with pain, the apostle Peter knew about this incredible place, and here is what he said about it.
1 Peter 1:6-9 In this, you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Apostle Peter wrote this from experience, not from ideological knowledge. He knew the power of having His thoughts and emotions so empowered by the love of God that even though he was experiencing pain on the outside, on the inside, he was experiencing inexpressible and glorious joy. This glorious place in the presence of God is beyond what words can describe. Peter said it produced an inexpressible and glorious joy. Beyond all question, nothing in this world compares to those transforming, precious moments in the precious presence of our Heavenly Father!
King David also knew of this amazing place, and this is what he wrote.
Psalm 63:3 “Because your love is better than life, my lips will praise you.”
King David knew from his experience that nothing could compare to God’s love, and he declared it as better than life itself! I believe that anyone who fully surrenders to God’s precious love and enters into a genuine relationship with God by faith can also fully vouch for what King David expressed.
Some who claim Christianity don’t genuinely believe God; I call them unbelieving believers… Oxymoron? Yes! There is no such thing as genuine Christianity without believing God! That is often why the world looks at the church and is confused. I believe that many in this world have an inner cry that is saying, “Will the real Christian, please stand.”
One of the greatest secrets to experiencing the presence of God is believing that He is within you and all around you. It’s a recognition. It is surrendering to an unseen reality. To experience the unseen, you must recognize that it is there and that God is who He says He is!
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
There is a superpower available to those who will learn to live in the unseen realm! When you know that your loving, almighty, all-powerful God is right there with you – fear is destroyed, discouragement is banished, failure is nowhere to be found, and life with real purpose forcefully advances!
My dear friend, today is your day to experience God on a whole new level! He is available at this very moment and wants to spend some precious time with you. My heart is with you today as I pray that you will, more than ever, experience …
