Daily Rhema: CULTIVATING THE PRESENCE OF GOD

Psalms 16:8,11 KJV
I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

God is three Persons but one God: they are one in substance, mind and character, just as a husband and wife can be one; or a group of people can be one (Jn. 17:21; Eph. 5:21).

There are three Persons in the Godhead: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each Person has a mind, will and emotions (1Jn. 5:7).

Furthermore, each Person of the Godhead has a definite image, likeness and shape (Jn. 5:37; Eze. 8:2-3).

At the same time, however, God’s influence pervades the entire universe. So God is omnipresent: in all places, at all times. He sees all and knows all (Ps. 139:7-8).

However, even though God’s Presence is present everywhere, it is not everywhere that God’s Presence is manifest in His love, wisdom and power. God’s Presence is in hell, but certainly it is not manifest there in His love, wisdom and power.

David, obviously by faith in his mind, sets the Lord always before him at his right hand.

You too can experience the joy of unhindered thought communication with God without interference and, by faith, see Him in your mind constantly, without having a vision; afterall, we are to live by faith (2Cor. 5:7; Heb. 11:27).

To enjoy God’s Presence there are three things you need:

1. The right attitude or willingness to do God’s will (Jn. 7:17). This comes by daily self-judgement and repentance from anything that displeases God. This is like the proper orientation of your antenna or satellite dish to receive signals accurately.

2. A renewed mind that has the knowledge of God’s Word (Rom. 12: 2). This comes by daily Bible reading and meditation. This is like having a functioning TV set.

3. The power of the Holy Spirit released by the life of God through prayer in the Spirit for at least one hour daily (Matt. 26:41; Eph. 6:18). This is like having a generator that supplies electricity with the right voltage.

The power of the Holy Spirit is indispensable if you desire to enjoy the Presence of God daily.
