The Real Presence Of God




You walk into any church and you will hear them singing about the presence of God or talking about the presence of God. 

Lord we want to see you in your presence, Lord we want to know your presence, may we meet with in your presence this morning.  If you are lucky you will hear statements like this "the presence of God is here so lift up your hands".

As a worshipper, church member or usher in
your church, whichever department you serve in, I want to ask you this question, do you know what the presence of God is all about? Do you have a revelation of what the presence of God is all about?

Today we are not talking about what the presence of God is and is not, we are not talking about the attributes of the presence of God either. The presence we speak about and write about do we understand it. 

I see Ezekiel at River Chebar and God shows him vision of things to come all he could do was fall down until God spoke to him. When the real presence of God comes down we become speechless.

I see Isaiah in the year that King Uzziah died that he met Good and he speaks “woe for I'm a man of unclean lips and I dwell with all make of unclean lips”. When the real presence hits your life you see your sin as evident as daylight, exposed and so pronounced. 

I see Daniel on his 21 day fast praying and seeking guidance about Israel's future in captivity and the Archangel Gabriel shows up and starts to speak to him and the bible says Daniel was fearful and fell on his face.  When the real presence of God hits the place there will be a fear of God that adorns you and a response that will be required of you. 


My question is what is our concept of the presence of God? 

When you say the presence of the Lord is now here, do you know what you mean?

What we call the presence of God today is what?

Hearing God As A Worshipper

Don’t you have those kinds of friends and relatives who tell you amazing stories of their vision with the Lord Jesus or the dreams they had walking with Jesus or people who hear God’s voice and can see God in literary everything they walk in? Even the ones who see God in odd things, colors, incidences and they hear God speaking to them.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things. It is then asking the question is how do we hear God’s voice or train my ear to hear God’s voice because we always told God is always speaking we just not listening enough. How many have tried to listen and you heard nothing.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things.

Characteristics Of A Worshipper

Being a child of God and being called a Christian qualifies a person to be a worshipper, whether you have a sweet voice or a horsey voice, whether you can dance or you have CRD (Caucasian Rhythm Disorder) in God’s books you qualify as a worshipper. The name of a person reveals their character and the quality of worship reveals the character of a worshipper . Just like the names of God reveal his character and a worshipper is known his or her character. Characteristics of a Worshipper Brokenness and Humility   “ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise” Psalms 51:17  “The LORD is nigh (near) unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit” Psalms 34:18 “Because your heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbled thyself before me, and didst rend thy clot...

The Priesthood of A Worshipper Part 2

Caution! The words in this article may offend some people, please take no offence it’s what the bible says and we are just interpreters. Looking at the lives of Old Testament who were sold out, lived their whole lives separated and living their live for the call of God. As you read this, God called you a priest whether you are a worship leader, singer or you don’t have the ability to sing but you are good at SMI (shower ministries international) or may term yourself an ordinary Christian. We are all called to worship, so we are all Priests after the order of the Lion of Judah . “Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads” Ezekiel 44:20 As you read this verse many will tell you that “God looks at the heart”, but reading these chapters of Ezekiel 44, worship is more than just having the  heart. The heart matters a lot in addition to the heart there is also presentation, there is dressing, consecration, our d...
