PSALM 106:15
There is a generation that weeps because they traded the Presence of God for leanness of soul
PSALM 106:14,15
To enjoy the presence of god you must walk the path of • Obedience to Christ • Suffering for Christ
There is a generation who places great emphasis on acquiring personal comfort as they seek to “fix� themselves
But a house of comfort without GOD’S PRESENCE IS AN EMPTY HOUSE
MATTHEW 6:33
WITHOUT GOD’S PRESENCE THERE IS NO WORD
THERE IS A GENERATION WITHOUT A WORD FROM GOD
THEY DEPEND ON • • • •
AN EVENT A WORD FROM A MINISTER A CD/DVD THE LATEST BOOK
TO BRING THEM TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD
GOD’S PRESENCE WAS TAKEN FOR GRANTED
GOD’S WAY OF PROVISION WAS TRADED FOR A LIFE OF LUXURY
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN NOR WILL THERE BE A SHORTAGE OF BREAD IN God’s house
BUT THERE HAS BEEN A SHORTAGE OF OBEDIENCE
Exodus 33:15,16
MOSES APPRECIATED GOD’S PRESENCE
GOD’S PRESENCE ALONE IS THE DISTINGUISHING MARK
Without God’s presence there is no • Word from God • Supernatural provision • No evidence of His authority
WITHOUT GOD’S PRESENCE HIS FAVOUR WILL BE MISSING
Hebrews 11:24-26
MOSES’ CHOICE
The choice must proceed the Presence
The absence came because the people rejected God’s Presence
The people’s mistakes • Rejected God’s authority (Psalm 106:16-18) • Rejected God (Psalm 106:19-23) • Rejected God’s provision (Psalm 106:24-25)
Philippians 2:19-22
TIMOTHY’S CHOICE
Your choice?
Does your experience of God’s Presence depend on others?
Whose plan is accomplished in your life? Yours? God’s?
Are you in the know? Does the Lord ever reveal to you what He is about to do? Genesis 18:17
Jeremiah 8:4-12
WHEN GOD’S PRESENCE IS MISSING
Ezekiel 34:1-6
WHEN GOD’S PRESENCE IS LACKING
EZEKIEL 33:30-33
WHEN GOD’S PRESENCE IS ABANDONED
1 Peter 2:21
John 4:34
Or are you lean in soul?
In a time of enlargement many are lean in soul
Because God’s kingdom was not the priority there is nothing for God to add (Matthew 6:33)
Because God’s plan of provision was spurned the souls of many lack the capacity for enlargement
Jeremiah 9:22,23
Proverbs 3:5,6
Are you prospering in soul? 3 John 2
