The Manifested Presence of God

For 6 weeks Pastor has been instructing us on becoming Disciples of Christ. And as disciples we have been given the command to Go! And we’ve learned that as we go, we must go in His power and authority. Now many times when we think of Power and Authority our mindset is to think forceful power, but in reality, the most forceful power you can walk in with God is the Power of His Love.

And because God is love and He is in us, we have his love, so our goal as disciples should be to Manifest His Love and by Manifesting His Love, we Manifest His Presence.

Manifest: is the Greek word: empanidzo: appear, come to view, reveal, exhibit, be made visible, present oneself to the sight of another, to declare or make known.

POINT 1. We Must Trust God with our Whole Heart

Confidently: means you have full confidence in something; it expresses faith in its abilities or qualities, it expresses little or no doubt about something.

God is Invisible, He wants to become visible through the lives of His followers.

POINT 2: Acknowledge God in Everything we do

POINT 3: Manifesting God’s Presence

There are three aspects of the presence of God in a believer’s life.

1. Omnipresence of God: God is always there. We might not realize it but He is.

2. Personal Presence or Indwelling presence of God: God is living on the inside of us. We are temples of God and He lives in us

3. Manifest Presence of God: When God manifests His presence, He reveals His glory. God wants us to move beyond just having a consciousness of Him but having a personal encounter.

POINT 4: Remain in His Presence
