GOING TO A DEEPER LEVEL #7

GOD’S CONSTANT PRESENCE

Open your mouth and taste, open your, eyes and see – how good God is. Blessed are you who run to Him. Worship God if you want the best; worship opens doors to all His goodness. Young lions on the prowl get hungry, but God-seekers are full of God.

Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you.If your heart is broken; you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, He’ll help you catch your breath.
Psalm 34:8-10, 17-18 (Message)

INTRODUCTION
When you meet a really good friend... the more you hang around them the more you actually want to be with them, hang out, and get to know them even more. This statement captures the essence of the latest chapter of Israel’s book. God’s constant presence is something we CAN actually live in.

THE WAY OF INTIMACY
Our view of God can be affected by the way we were brought up, things we encountered as children, lessons we have been taught but the truth is that God’s intimate with us our entire life.

The issue is whether we choose to acknowledge Him or not.

God brings things into order in your world and has intimate plans for you and ways that he will reveal himself to you during your life journey. There is a constant intimacy when we walk in His presence.

HOW DO YOU SEE GOD?
Do we look at God through a stain glassed window and only get a distorted view of who He really is or do we delve much deeper and discover the sweet mysteries of God, that he created us before we were born...

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvellous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skilfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.
Psalms 139:13-16

DO YOU HAVE SUPERNATURAL POWER?
I love the illustration in the book by Don Wilkinson when his wife asks him if he believes he has power? If we believe it, we can receive it and achieve it! We need to understand the power that is within each and every one of us but not only believe we have power but also believe that the power is there to change lives, impact nations and affect future generations!
