He’s Always With You – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional August 12th

(We Live Daily In The Presence Of God)

TO THE BIBLE: John 14:17
“The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.”

LET’S TALK
In Christianity, we don’t go in and out of God’s presence. His presence is our home; we were born therein.

When you study Psalm 87:4 KJV, you’ll observe the prophetic reference: “I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.” “This man” refers to the new creation. “There” refers to our place in Christ—our place in God’s presence.

This is the reason it’s absurd when a Christian says, “Father, I come to you today” or “Let’s get into the presence of God through worship.”

I often wonder: If they’re about to get into the presence of God, where then have they been? God’s children must understand that we live in His presence.

There’s no such thing in the New Testament as us “getting into” the presence of God. In Him we live, move, and have our being. His presence is in us and with us. When you come into a place, you come with His presence.

If you’re born again, nobody can take you into the presence of God because you were born right into His presence, and you live in His presence, both legally and vitally. Hallelujah!

Speak:
I’m the temple of the living God; He dwells in me by the Holy Spirit. Christ has taken up His abode in me, and I’m forever in Him. I live in His presence, and I carry that divine presence everywhere to impact my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
