God is Really Here

Job 39-40; 1 Corinthians 13-14 

“…if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming ‘God is really among you.’”

1 Corinthians 14:24, 25

Paul’s point is that we often arrive at our awareness of our need for God by demonstrations of his supernatural presence in the lives of Christ followers. Those supernatural expressions of God’s presence could be through unexplainable love when anger or hatred would seem natural. God’s presence could also be expressed in the sensitivity of God’s people to what he is speaking to bring strengthening, encouragement, and comfort when needed. This prophetic anointing transforms meetings of every kind to become places where we hear from the Lord. The reality of God’s presence changes a room! Christianity is more than ethical goodness; it is living in relationship with Almighty God who is powerfully at work in and through his people through the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Does that describe our meetings?

The watching world is interested to know if God is real.

Will they see and hear him in us?

“Lord God, thank you for speaking this day, for your glory.”
