The Presents of God

Many years ago as a young woman, I had friends who had three beautiful little girls.They loved to draw and one of them gave me a drawing she had done. The picture was of a little girl with her hands raised in the air.Up above her were all these little beautifully wrapped presents. I asked her to tell me about her drawing and she replied "It's the presents of God."
That imagery has always stayed with me. It truly is a gift to be able to experience the Presence of God.
It is a gift to have a person give you their full attention and listen to you. It is wonderful to know that another is fully present and engaged with you.When a person zones out and becomes distracted while you are having a conversation,it makes you feel as though you are not valuable to them.
For God to fully give us His attention and grace us with His presence is too wonderful for me to comprehend and is beyond the scope of vocabulary to describe.
Now, I know He dwells within us and is always present and is with us wherever we go. However, there is His manifest Presence where the supernatural power of God comes into our midst and the weight of His Glory changes us. In that place in time  the Glory of Heaven shines through the portal right here on earth and into our lives and we are forever changed.
This is the Presence that changes addicts in one moment in time and sets them free instantaneously.This is where people who suffer debilitating diseases can be healed and given a new lease on life.
Sometimes people are healed miraculously and other times it is over a period of time as they continually encounter the healing Presence of Jesus.
This is the signs following power of the gospel. You can experience this at work , at home or at church.
You can then , in turn,  be graced to help people to be set free in  everyday life wherever you encounter those that need a helping hand or a healing touch.
This is the glory of God-the Light that shines in the darkness.
This is an exciting time in history. The Light has come and the Glory of the Lord is rising upon us and  His people are wanting to see more and more of the manifestations of this Glorious God to bring His Kingdom into our everyday lives .God's people are wanting the King to come and change their families and reconcile the members one with the other and also to God.We are longing for our communities to be changed and  for His will to be done in our nation.
This gospel is potent and life changing and is still delivering people from despair and grief and heartaches.The Kingdom of God is clearly being demonstrated in changed lives and God is still in the business of propelling people towards their destinies and into His Kingdom purposes.
