THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD

Moses pleaded with God in prayer for God's presence to go with him and the people, having seen the miracles God performed in Egypt, but he was looking for something beyond spiritual gifts and miracles: God's own presence to know God's way.

Exodus 33:14-17 The LORD replied, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” [15] Then Moses said to him, “If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. [16] How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people and with me and with me unless you go with us? What else will distinguish your people and me from all the other people on the face of the earth?” [17] And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked because I am pleased with you, and I know you by name.”

The presence of the Lord distinguishes you from the rest of the people and proves to the people that the Lord knows you by your name and that God is pleased with you His presence, makes you known and announces you. God's presence is like a spiritual brand that makes you visible, your location visible, your business visible, and your identity visible.

In all my years of studying the Bible, I have come to understand that the fire 🔥 that led Israel was God's glory, called DOXA God's own presence to lighten their way and show them the way they should take.

The children of Israel had God's presence in a limited way, for they were far from God's heart. Isaiah 29:13 The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. Moses, however, was a different person; he was very near to God's own heart; hence, he had God's presence to the full extent this week may the glory of God go before you and announce you and make you known.

God knows you're going through tough times, an unpaid bill, and stress, and yet you're still trusting in Him; help is on the way.

*EATING FROM THE TREE OF LIFE*

Revelation 22:14,17 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. [17] The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

The natural human mind does not have the concept of eating the Lord has the tree of life neither drinking him as the water of life because the intere Bible is centred on eating the Lord and enjoying the lord the book of genesis tells us from onset that after God created man the first thing that he did was not to give man the ten commandments or to say to Adam you most worship me and not forget that I am your source of life

After God created man the first thing that God did was to bring Adam to the tree 🌳 of life and say yo him Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; [17] but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” the covenant was about Adam eating because the most important subject of man's existence is eating the lords boday if man's eats the right things he will live longer but If he eats wrong things he will jeopardise is health and potentially invite death For this reason after God had finished creating Adam he immediately spoke to Adam about the mystery of eating however because Eve saw the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was good for food to make one wise she was tempted and wrongfully eat from the forbiden fruit resolting in man's fall from higher existence of life

Take note today: When food is served, the take difference forms the knowledge of God's word, which is the food of the human spirit be careful of people who contradict the standards of God's word cause that is the area where Satan
