Do you live with an awareness of God's presence?

 

1.  There is the Omnipresence of God:

 

         - God is everywhere even when you do not experience His presence.

         - God's omnipresence can exist without our awareness.

         - Psalm 139:7-12:  Where can I flee from God's presence?

                   v. 8. Death cannot separate you from His presence.

            vs. 9-10. Distance cannot separate you from His presence.

          vs. 11-12.  Darkness cannot separate you from His presence.

 

2.  There is the Manifest Presence of God:

 

        - God's manifest presence is when He is made known.  It is clear to see.

       - Adam & Eve:  Genesis 3:7-8

       - Cain:  Genesis 4:16

       - God the Father manifested Himself to Moses at the burning bush.  Exodus 3

      - God the Son (Jesus) manifested Himself in Daniel 3.  

               Jesus the Word became flesh in John 1:14.

       - God the Holy Spirit manifested Himself at Pentecost in Acts 2.

 

3.  There is the Indwelling Presence of God:

 

          What is better than Jesus walking beside you?  It is Jesus living inside of you.

         

          - Acts 1:8;  Acts 2:38-39

          - 1 Corinthians 6:19

 

What is the result of being in God's presence?

 

"In Your presence is fullness of joy."  Psalm 16:11

 

             Are you living aware of God's presence?

             Do you have the indwelling presence of God?
