LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
Messenger Marcus preaches on the rich fruit of character that will be in our lives as we are living in the presence of God. The fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Gal 5:22, 23 – these are actually the attributes of the wonderful Jesus. When we are immersed in His glorious presence we ourselves will be filled with Christ’s fruit.
Travelling In God’s Direction
In Exodus chapter 33 verse 14 God said to Moses, “My presence wit go with you and I will give you rest”. In this scripture narrative Moses basically said. – “Lord if you presence doesn’t go with me I don’t want to go anywhere”! That should be our attitude in life because – when we try to live life ( even as Spirit filled Christians) living out our own will and doing our own plans and making our own efforts we are are wasting time and spoiling the deep fellowship with God that is our birthright. God is not with us in the way he could be if we were totally committed to him his ways is power and his will. We need to be travelling in God’s direction. Not outside if Him: Living in the presence of God should be our earnest desire.
Jesus Blood Cleanses All Sin
As we continue in life, from time to time we will sin; if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the TRUTH is not in us, (1 John 1:8). We will need to be cleanse from all sin. We thank God that the blood of the Lord Jesus is always available to continually wash us from all sin. At the times we fail and feel under a guilt cloud we thank God that Jesus Blood cleanses all sin, (1 John 1:9). We also need to be filled continuously with the Holy Spirit. Just one filling will not do. We need continually to be filled every day with God’s Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 speaks these words
Eph 5:18, 19 – do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
Colossians ( in a parallel passage) reads:
Col 3:16 – Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Thank God there is cleansing. Thank God there is filling and thank God there is abundance of blessings as we follow the Lord.
