“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psa. 16:11.
I guess as believers, we all love the aura and beauty of experiencing God’s divine presence. I sure love that feeling of His manifest presence. To wait before Him in worship and prayers is always a privilege. I love those moments when, while waiting before Him, His presence suddenly surrounds and envelopes you. No feeling compares to it, it’s wonderful beyond words. To have His love, peace, and joy overtake you while resting in communion with Him. We were created for fellowship and intimacy with God, to enjoy God and his presence is the greatest delight. I would definitely give anything to experience His presence again and again.
God’s presence is everywhere, but his manifest presence Only abides where it is desired and honoured. There are “factors” that lead to a stronger presence of the Lord. Do you honour His presence? Do you delight in waiting before the Lord through worship, prayer and communion with Him? Do you “come alive” in the presence of the Lord? I encourage you, learn to value His presence and pursue God. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Matt. 5:6. Are you hurting or struggling in this season of your life? Then wait on the Lord, allow Him to fill you, allow His presence to overtake you, and let the worry and care of life lift off in His presence, where there is fullness of joy.
No one can experience a lasting manifestation of His divine presence without learning the protocol of honouring Him. How do you act when you see the manifestation of His presence? Learn to always honour Him. Cultivate a character of reverence to the presence of God because the more you do, the more He will respond to you. Learn dedication and commitment to yielding your whole vessel to experiencing Him. God’s enduring presence remains with men who have consecrated themselves to loving him with all their heart, all their souls and all their minds. He is more willing to reach you than you can imagine, if only you will prepare for His manifest presence.
