The Holy Presence Of God

Summary: Delighting in His Blessed Presence
As Children of the Blessed Lord Jesus we are most blessed to receive an invitation from the Master to pursue and delight in Him. And, how marvelously does the Spirit of God lead us into this intimacy? The Comforter may lead us as we are communing with Him, reading the Holy Bible, in praise and worship or dancing for thy Lord. These acts of worship will surely open our hearts, deepen our love for Him and causeth sensitivity in our spirit to hear His still small voice. It is in our intimacy with our Lord when He is faithful to speak to us, His Children, the apples of His Blessed Eyes.
How might we enter into this realm with our Lord in consecration and devotion as the Apostle Paul entered? I suppose I might say it is by the Lord’s grace and His love that He has given to us for Him wherefore enables us to pursue Him and forsake all because of our unwavering love for Him. In first John, Chapter 4:19, it reminds us of this as the Scripture records: “We love him, because he first loved us.” Let us remember this love given to us for the Lord must continue to burn in our hearts for Him. And the love for our Lord in our hearts is to remaineth pure and reserved for Him alone.
Now let us read what hearts might be invited to stand in the blessed presence of our Holy Father as it is recorded in the Book of Psalms 24:3-4: "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully." Therefore, beloved, our hearts must be pure to abideth in the Majesty's holy presence.
As the Bride of Christ, our hearts must be intentional in our devotional time with our Beloved Holy One. What I have cometh to know and most honor in my walk with the Lord is He honors our preparation for the intimate time we desire to spend with Him. And this honor for our Holy Lord (in preparation for our fellowship with Him) must precede His holy, glorious Presence.
Surely, it is in this most holy time of intimacy with thy Lord He will respond to your pure love and adoration for Him. Seek and delight with the King of Glory!
