God’s presence – experienced or just hoped for?

Christians confess: God is omnipotent and omnipresent. But this is precisely why many have doubts, because if this is really the case, why do we encounter him so rarely? Why doesn’t he intervene more visibly?

Anyone looking for answers in the Bible will recognize that God’s presence has always been experienced in a special way in certain people – with the prophets, with Jesus, with the apostles. And yet Jesus promises: ” Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them. But what can we expect when he is in our midst? Some expect nothing more than an inspiring sermon and a few good conversations after the service. Others expect more and experience it.

Nevertheless, there is confusion in the body of Christ. Is this now the Spirit of God? Is it human? Spiritual? Or even carnal? The result: mistrust, uncertainty and the inability to recognize or receive God’s presence in his body.

But such questions can be clarified and we can begin to experience his presence more deeply than ever before.

We invite you to encounter the living God, not in the fog of religious theories, but where his power can be experienced: through the people he sends.

Speaker

David M. Taylor
Director of free+healed

David is an author, filmmaker and evangelist. In his documentaries you can see how the blind see and the lame walk after prayer in the name of Jesus.

Watch the different movies on this website and come with the expectation that God will heal your body or restore your soul that evening.

If he comes

In His presence there is fullness of life!
So as Christians we gather to worship
And we do believe that 
in his presence fear must flee
And minds experience clarity
But do we see the kinds of change
That Christ saw in his ministry?
Where sickness and diseases go
and demons bow the knee, they know
that in his presence they can’t be.

His presence, like the wind – you see it only
when it hits a tree
or something it can move – like you or me.
His presence so should overwhelm
A human heart, a body incomplete
until it’s filled with him, 
transformed

No longer what it used to be
His presence certainly
Should shake us up incredibly.
Chaotic scenes of drunken glee

Since Pentecost repeatedly
In God’s presence, yes that can be.

So, take your pick
A ritual and a meet and greet, church coffee?
Or the power of his presence freely?

Transforming you and me …
What will it be?

With my own eyes, in his presence, I have seen blind eyes open, deaf ears hear again, or a child’s lame legs receive the strength to walk for the first time, or something as simple as a handshake before the service has healed a tennis elbow.
