THE MESSAGE
TEXT- Exodus chapter 33
12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
There is nothing as magnificent (glorious) as carrying the presence of God. The secret of unusual victory is God’s presence. When the presence of God envelopes a man or a woman, people will say yes when they intended to say no. Joseph appeared once before Pharaoh and he was promoted beyond imagination.
The presence of God is the key to undeniable breakthrough. It is impossible to operate in the supernatural without God’s presence. It is a dangerous thing for any man/woman to sleep, travel and move without the presence of God.
Psalm 16:11 there is fullness of joy in God’s presence but outside the presence of God, their is frustration, hardship, failure and suicide.
DO YOU CARRY THE PRESENCE OF GOD?
HAVE YOU LOST THE PRESENCE OF GOD?
Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence and take not the Holy Spirit from me. We need to have the presence of God everywhere. His presence is the key to good life, successful ministry and the supernatural.
1.THE REQUIREMENTS FOR GOD’S PRESENCE.
i. Holiness.
Seeking after God and His righteousness.
Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger. nd thirst after righteousness: for they shall be full.
Psalm 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
The sacrifice of Jesus for our redemption is a complete work, there is nothing to add or remove.
You need to continue to stand in His presence to walk with the Almighty God.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
1 Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
If a man therefore purges himself, he will be a vessel unto honour.
You need to work in and with the righteousness of God .
1 John 3:10, You can’t claim to belong to God and continue in sin.
ii. Praises.
Praises triggered the presence of God.

Joshua 1:8 the book of the Lord must never depart from your mouth.
Psalm 119:9-12 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
It is not just quoting the word but the dimension of the revelation of the truth that floods the spirit.

Whatever you are releasing to God is to test the level of your love and appreciation.

1 Kings 3:3, Solomon loved God.
We must love and honour God
Do you love God?

God and His will never change.

Repent.
If you are born again, study and speak in tongues more.
LET’S PRAY

Father eternal, we thank You for the people that are making decisions now; thank You for everyone that has determined to carry the presence of God, I ask that everyone of them will carry the presence of God from today.

I ask that the power of the Lord shall take over henceforth.
