Trust in the Presence of God

Jesus identified three conditions that a person must meet to be in the presence of God. The first is to deny yourself. The second is to take up your cross. And the third is to follow Jesus. So what does this mean, practically?

One common mistake is confusing the call of the Holy Spirit with God's presence. The Holy Spirit will call a sinner to fulfill the three above conditions. But until the sinner actually does, he is not converted and is not in the presence of God.

To fulfill these conditions is to recognize your guilt before God and to give yourself totally to Jesus. It is to break off from all sin forever, with a determination that you will do what's right now matter how difficult or painful it is.

Another common difficulty is backsliding. Perhaps you once enjoyed the presence of God, but your present experience is cold and dead. In this case, a backslider can be restored by doing his first works of repentance!

Are you living in the presence of God today?

Judas?

Judas? Judas had a hidden agenda and would... Judas had a hidden agenda and would not accept Jesus for who he is because his expectations were not being met. Have you dealt with this Judas spirit or will you allow it to destroy you? You need not be a Judas but must allow Jesus to fully change you and deal with bitterness, resentment, pride, judgment and/or your lack of love. Do it quickly because this Judas spirit will quickly lead to betrayal and you will become a betrayer. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10162&feed_id=4077

The First Love - 2004

The First Love - 2004 In this Christmas season and in our cul... In this Christmas season and in our culture it's a great temptation to sentimentalize the birth of Jesus. Today's message cuts directly against that, with the question of what is your first love (from Jesus message to the church of Ephesus)? That can be readily determined by looking at your checkbook and reviewing how you've spent your time and resources. Does the first love of Jesus burn in your heart and is that the focal point of your life or is there another love? It's time to get serious and deal with this issue, will you do so today??? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=11206&feed_id=2743
