TOPIC ✨ His Glorious Presence In Us✨ 

I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Moses made a request of the Lord. He said, “…If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence” (Exodus 33:15). Many today, because of these words, also pray, “Lord, if your presence doesn’t go with me, I won’t move.” You need to understand that the Old Testament was a different dispensation from the New Testament. At that time, Jesus hadn’t come; so they couldn’t enjoy what we’re privileged to enjoy today: that is, His glorious presence “in” us.

When Jesus came, the Jews enjoyed the revelation of “Emmanuel,” which means, “God with us.” What a blessing it was for them back in the day when Jesus walked the streets of Galilee, Nazareth and Capernaum! God almighty, tabernacled in Jesus, was with them! O, what a day! Jesus was the Word incarnate.

However, today, revelation has transcended “Emmanuel.” God is no longer just with us, or amongst us, but lives in us through the Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us that this was a mystery that was hidden in ages and generations past, but now has been revealed to God’s saints: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).

Christ in you is greater than “Emmanuel!” Jesus has  come, and He has died; He was buried, has arisen, and  has ascended. Now, He’s seated in the heavenly realms, but  through the Holy Spirit, He lives in our hearts. We thus have In Matthew 28:20, He said, I am with you alway, even  unto the end of the world. Amen.” He lives in you now; He
lives in every fibre of your being and every bone of your  body. Talking about the Holy Spirit in John 14:17, Jesus said,  “…for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” He was
with them as He walked the streets and showed great and  mighty miracles, but now, He lives in you. Therefore, you can  enjoy the glory of God’s presence, lounge in His love, and be  suffused in His wisdom and grace, as you revel in the eternal victories He’s wrought for you.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you, for your divine presence in me has made me more than a man. I’m in union  with the Holy Spirit, and live above all the limitations of the  human realm. Thank you for your love, abundant grace, mercies  and goodness that I enjoy today, and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
