Having God Manifest Presence in our life

Having God manifest presence in our life requires us to first understand how our God operates. God requires of us to be authentic with him, he does not deal in the shades of gray. He made that clear in the bible, with this verse Rev. 3:16 - So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth (ASB). Therefore, truthful, authentic is necessary. However, this does not come about when you give access to all of you except that one thing, you do not want to deal with, or have no desire for anyone to see, or the secret part of you, you have crafted your whole around so no one will know; ironically those who see you, see you, see it…smiling… The strange thing is this, God saw when we did it, how we did it, how often it was done, as well as who it was done for, or whom it was done to; at no time did we consider God sees me! Yet, we say, we believe God to be omniscience but we refuse authenticity with him; what is that about; REALLY!! If God sees you, then why lie to him; He who can free you. Okay, another way of thinking about having God manifest presence in our life is this, to make him evident in our life, or to establish him in our life. The words state John 4:24 - God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (NASB), thus we cannot go on this outward expression of God by following all the rites, the traditions, ‘church order,’ and this habitual things we have been taught. Now, do not get me wrong, I am not saying we should not have the traditions and rites but I am saying we most have more so that we do not get lost in the rules. We must have inward expressions in our lives that match it, or we will miss out. Remember the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the high priests in the bible, they were not lost because they did not know, they were lost because what they taught, followed never touched their spirit so that grace could be demonstrated: the innermost part. We must learn to live outside of our frame of reference and understanding because it leaves room for God to move and allows us to have the manifesting of God’s Presence. See being trustworthy is not only important to those in our life, but it is what ushers God into our life through an act of Faith and humility….Please do not get God unconditional love twisted with God manifest presence because Romans 5:8 states - But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (ASB). Thus, do not assume God manifest presence to be God’s unconditional love toward us; its not…We have to choose to have the manifest presence of God through the things we control - our words, our thoughts, and our actions….
