In HIS presence there is fullness of joy. GOD the FATHER has made it so we HIS children can have joy in every situation.
And we are not just limited to joy as we know it to be, for instance we have joy when we or someone we know accomplishes something, or when we are having a good time on vacation, or when we are excited about something.
But In HIS presence there is so much more than that, In HIS presence HE wants us to be full of HIS love and HIS power and HIS sound mind.
This presence that I speak of is one that is only found while In HIS presence and by that I mean in deep relationship with HIM, time spent understanding HIS HEART and understanding HIS DESIRES for us HIS children.
The Bible says In HIM we live and breath and have our being.
JESUS says without the FATHER I can do nothing, but in HIM I do all things.
JESUS lived HIS life in and from the presence of the FATHER.
So what I'm getting at is this JESUS CHRIST the SON of GOD is aware that outside of the presence of the FATHER HE is limited to experiencing life like we tend to do instead of creating life like the FATHER intended us to do.
Have you ever said to yourself there has to be more to life then just having a career making money, or building homes and properties or helping a person by providing a way for them to succeed in this life.
All these things just mentioned are all good things to do and have, but what about our spiritual being what are we doing about that part of us.
Before we are ever a physical being ( human ) we are first a spiritual being ( In the Image and likeness of GOD ), This is the part that the FATHER wants us to understand most about ourselves, this is the part of ourselves that is not limited to wants, needs and desires of futile everyday labor. But this spiritual part of us can only get its nourishment from being In HIS presence.
When we start to live out of being In HIS presence our spirit man takes his/her rightful place and you start to live a life of HEAVEN on earth and suddenly every order in HEAVEN designed on your behalf from the FATHER is at your side to comfort you and this persons name in the HOLY SPIRIT.
Now that you are In HIS presence. The HOLY SPIRIT becomes your Comforter. Now everything begins to have more meaning for instance your life no longer consist of just living to make a mark on earth but now you have an eternity to live for.
Before I close my blog I want to leave a testimony of being In HIS presence.
One week night around 11pm after my wife and kids went to bed, I went and locked myself in the guest bathroom to spend some time alone In HIS presence.
I kept the lights off in the bathroom every time I was In HIS presence so that my eyes wouldn't be
distracted by anything while praying and worshiping GOD.
After a couple hours of praise and worship to the LORD I noticed a small LIGHT in the back corner of the bathroom over the shower stall, this LIGHT was very tiny like a small LED light, but the LIGHT didn't illuminate like a regular light does, this LIGHT although bright it didn't cast a shadow like a regular light does ,this LIGHT contained itself it had a BEGINNING and an END and it was growing in size.
The LIGHT was filling the bathroom like how someone would fill a baptismal pool only right side up and now the LIGHT started getting closer and closer to me until I was fully standing in this LIGHT, I could feel myself physically breath this LIGHT into my lungs the LIGHT was thick it smelt fresh and tasted sweet.
I was in shock and amazement all at the same time being in this LIGHT, I just stood there breathing in and out for a while then I had a thought to open up all the towel cabinets and the sink cabinet and I found that the LIGHT filled up every space like it was liquid with no shadow of any kind anywhere to be seen.
I started to thank GOD for allowing me to be In HIS presence, then suddenly I start to here deep loud BREATHING so loud I begin to think someone is sleeping in the bathtub so I check but found no one, now I'm thinking this BREATHING is so loud its going to wake my wife and kids so I open the door to check on the family and I realize that the LIGHT stopped at the good line so I stepped into the hallway and closed the door I saw LIGHT in the bathroom but nothing leaked out like regular light, the BREATHING was louder then ever now I ran all around the house to find the loud BREATHER I even ran outside the house to find no one.
Then it came to me when how back in the days of the Israelites and the priest in the HOLY of HOLIES
and GOD would come to them and In HIS presence HE would fill the place with HIS LIGHT and deep BREATHING, I went back into the bathroom in deep awe and respect just weeping and trembling In HIS presence worshiping and loving on GOD with all my being yet fearing not knowing what else would happened I bowed down and asked for mercy and forgiveness and just as the LIGHT came into the room the light left in like manner and I watched until it left the room.
I was still weeping I turned to have a sat on the toilet when I noticed a light coming from under the door, I got up and opened the door to see way the light was on and I found out the sun was out and it was 5:45 the next morning and I needed to be somewhere at 6:30am WOW what a night In HIS presence.
I pray you all have experiences like this for yourselves thanks for letting me share, WADE KAPAONA.
