IT IS GOOD TO BE IN GOD'S PRESENCE

Matthew17:4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

On the mount of transfiguration, the face of Jesus shone brightly. Three disciples(Peter, James&John) of Jesus who were part of his inner circle were on that mountain. What they saw made them tremble. After Peter saw the glorified face of Jesus and two Old testament prophets( Moses&Elijah), he also experienced the beauty and manifestation of God's presence and he said: “Lord, it is good for us to be here...”

Many believers do not know the power that lies in abiding in God's presence. The anointing that many seek is in God's presence. The concept of rubbing with anointing oil started with the Jewish shepherd. They smear their sheep with oil as a form of protection against insects. In God's presence, the anointing is always available to rub on only those that stay in God's presence. Everyone of us must learn to practice God's presence in our daily lives.

You don't need to visit the mountain before you have the transfiguration experience. The presence of God is every where but his manifest presence isn't everywhere. You can live in the consciousness of his presence through constant fellowship, this is not limited to church or worship session. We must learn to open our spirit man to fellowshipping with God even in our bathroom. Those that have this understanding need not wait to whip emotions or do a special 'waiting' to connect to the celestial. As we do this, the glory of God would descend and we'll begin to walk in the supernatural.

Action point

Father, i plug into your presence with an open heart and a ready spirit In Jesus name.
