Walking in the Sunshine. Walking in the Presence of His Love
The warmth of God’s sun reminds us of His love and many blessings.
Introduction. Almighty God invites us to keep loving company with Him.
Scripture Reading: In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence. (Ephesians 3:12, BSB)
What was the last invitation you received? Who was it from? God Almighty sends to us an invitation we dare not refuse. The envelope in which this invitation of divine love is delivered is WORSHIP.
God our Heavenly Father invites each of His children to know and to love Him. Now this is an invitation we accept without hesitation, without question. Such an honor. Such a blessing. Such a gift of love from God Almighty.
The Creator of all. Invites you and I into a personal and intimate relationship. This invitation welcomes one and all into a fellowship with the One who loves us as no other. We are invited to know God on a truly deep and personal level.
Scripture Reading: Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord,
His going out is sure as the dawn,
He will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth. (Hosea 6:3, ESV)
You and I get to know God through His Holy Word. We witness how good and how very much He loves us. We observe a family member healed through answered prayer. Our Father’s goodness and love shining through answered prayer.
Scripture Reading: But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find Him, if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29, ESV)
When you and I pray consistently through our day. We are developing a fellowship with Almighty God. Jesus, God’s beloved Son had a wonderful prayer fellowship with His Father. Let us pray like Jesus did.
Scripture Reading: And after He had taken leave of them, He went up on the mountain to pray. (Mark 6:46, ESV)
The Apostle Paul would pray every evening and he would live in continual fellowship with God throughout his day. (Jeran Ferguson)
The loving and devotional practice of being in the presence of God through prayer.
Bowing our heads in prayer is the simplest. Yet the most profound manner of practicing being in God’s presence. A stillness and an awareness of our Heavenly Father. Wherever we may be. Whatever you and I may be doing. A few words of love ushered to Almighty God. Draws Him near to us. God’s loving presence we step into once more.
Prayer need not be planned or formal. A simple chat to our Father who loves us so. Beloved children speaking quietly to their Father. Spilling out their heart and soul. To the One who truly listens. To their Father who truly cares.
Scripture Readings: Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you. (Jeremiah 29:12, ESV)
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, ESV)
Prayer to Almighty God. Is stepping into the sunshine of His presence. It is this simple. A few humble and loving words connect our heart to God’s. A connection of love from Heaven to Earth. An invisible cable that nothing or nobody can sever. Like anything you and I practice. The more we pray. The closer our Heavenly Father draws near to us.
Prayer, sweet and pure prayer is the most loving connection a person experiences. Almighty God forms a deep and personal fellowship with each of His beloved children through prayer. Each prayer is unique. As each child is an individual.
I speak to our Father as a close and intimate friend. One who knows me through and through. Which of course, He surely does. Each of God’s people ushers to Him their prayers as they need to.
Scripture Reading: Seek the Lord and His strength,
seek His presence continually! (1 Chronicles 16:11, ESV)
One thing we all have in common. Our complete faith, our absolute trust. All our prayers are heard and answered. God the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Loves each of His children. Almighty God patiently listens to each and every prayer. Our Father answers each prayer according to the needs of the caller.
Such a privilege. Such a blessing. Such a gift from Almighty God.
Being in harmony with Almighty God. As we walk each day on our path of faith.
Scripture Reading: I bless the Lord who gives me counsel,
in the night also my heart instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me,
because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. (Psalm 16:7–8, ESV)
When our will is in true harmony with the Sovereign and divine will of Almighty God. Miracles shall and do occur.
You and I are carrying out God’s will here on Earth. This is the very reason God created us in His image. In the very likeness of God Himself we were created. God made us to co-operate with Him. To obey Him. To serve Him and to do His will always and in all things.
When it comes to God’s move and work on earth, everything can be accomplished only when there’s a will on earth that cooperates with Him in prayer; when God’s people pray in oneness and harmony with God’s will, He will carry out His will on earth. (A. Godman)
Almighty God is a tender and a loving Father. In a sweet and a compassionate way. God reveals Himself to us through His Holy Word. Through our prayers our Heavenly Father draws near to us. With His unceasing love He unveils His heart’s desire to us.
As we spend time in God’s presence. You and I learn more and more of the Supreme and divine will of God in our life. A sense of peace enters our heart as we obey Him. Through our prayer time with God. We join ourselves to God in a loving fellowship. Co-operating with God the Creator as we are made to do.
God’s deepest desire. Is that we love Him so completely. That every day. Every act of each day is a duplication of God’s will. This is far more than simple obedience. It is wanting deep in our heart. What Almighty God desires. Then to our best ability carrying it out. Then leaving the rest to our Creator.
Working in loving harmony with God brings to Earth His miracles.
Scripture Reading: You are the God who works wonders,
You have made known Your might among the peoples. (Psalm 77:14, ESV)
