Thanksgiving Overflow! - Ten Days of Bounty in Worship & GratitudeSample

Creating a Place for His Presence...

From the heart Messianic Psalm 22, we learn one of the most important aspects of worship and thanksgiving. When we rightfully declare God's kingdom rule in every area of our lives, His kingdom power and presence are made known.

But You are holy,
Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
Psalm 22:3

One of God’s magnificent, beyond comprehension attributes is His omnipresence: the ability to be everywhere at once. He is always with us. He is always everywhere. No place of His creation is exempt from His presence, not even hell itself.

And yet, we find throughout God’s Word where men and women encountered His manifest presence. We know this in our personal experience as well. These are times when we encounter His reality through the presence of the Holy Spirit in our spirit. We sense and feel His presence in our emotions, thoughts, and physical being.

The Lord Jesus wants to reveal Himself to us through the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Psalm 22:3 teaches us that as we declare His Lordship, we create a place – a throne – for His felt and experienced presence and rule in our lives. As our praises enthrone Him – literally make a seat for Him – we experience His very felt presence far surpassing mere head knowledge. And wherever King Jesus is, just as we read in the Gospels, there is salvation, healing, and deliverance.

Does your home or workplace need to experience heaven’s rule today? Could your body use His healing touch? Do you need some divine intervention or direction? Begin to praise. Declare His Lordship in the rooms of your home, work, body, or soul (your heart, mind, personality, and intellect) and watch what happens when Lord Jesus takes His rightful throne.

Where can you bring heaven's presence into your life or your current situations today?
