Daily Rhema: SEEDS OF HIS PRESENCE

SEEDS OF HIS PRESENCE

REVELATION 4:2 (KJV)
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

In this third day, the Scriptures reveal that God is going to raise up the Church in righteousness and we will live in His Presence (Hos. 6:2-3).

The word ‘live’ here is very instructive. It means we are to abide daily in the manifest Presence of God, which we must cultivate. We cultivate God’s Presence by planting and watering seeds of His Presence.

What are these seeds?

They are scriptures that describe the person of each Person of the Godhead.

So many Christians only have a picture of the Lord Jesus in their minds because Jesus was a man, and we have so many artists’ impressions of what He looked like.

However, when we think of God the Father or, God the Holy Spirit, we usually have a very vague picture. In fact, the picture of the Holy Spirit most people have in their minds is that of a dove!

The dove is only symbolic of the gentle manner in which His Presence alighted on the Lord Jesus at the baptism by John in the river Jordan (Matt. 3: 16).

These animals only symbolize aspects of God’s nature or character. What then does God look like in reality?

God is a Person and man was made in His image and likeness (Gen. 1: 26). So God looks like us; or rather, we look like God! God is the original; you and I are just a copy.

So each Person of the Godhead has a shape like ours with a head, torso, hands and legs. (Jn. 5:37).

I will now share with us three scriptures that describe the Person of each person of the Godhead. You plant them by believing them, and then you water them by meditating on them daily, as seeds of His presence that you have planted.

These scriptures are:

For the Person of the Father:
Revelation 4:2-3 (KJV)
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

For the Person of the Son:
Revelation 1:13-15 (KJV) And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

For the Person of the Holy Spirit:
Ezekiel 8:2-3 (KJV)
Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber. And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
