John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with youand shall be in you.
Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
THE PRESENCE OF GOD -He is with you and abides in YOU = no power
(THE PRESENCE/THE GLORY/THE WAYS/THE PERSON and FACE of GOD/HIS ATTRIBUTES, CHARACTER & NAMES)
THE POWER OF GOD – Holy Ghost comes UP ON you (the Anointing/the HAND & ARM & FINGER of God/ WORKS/ACTS)
The POWER of GOD is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE from THE PRESENCE OF GOD - You can BE in His PRESENCE and NEVER EXPERIENCE the POWER of GOD. YOU CAN ALSO EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF GOD AND NEVER EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF GOD. TO HAVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE YOU NEED BOTH!
Psalm 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
YOU NEVER STOP BEING A SERVANT BUT YOU GET TO FULFILL THE POSITION OF HEIR AS YOU GROW UP AND GET TO KNOW HIS WAYS AND BECOME HIS FRIEND
JESUS DEFINES WHAT A FRIEND IS:
Joh 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life (agenda) for his friends.
Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Joh 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
