Hello beloved,
I just wanted to share real quick on how to know if you are in God’s presence.
People talk about it all the time, and honestly it’s taken me years to come to this point. It’s worth sharing. I’ve learned so much from watching my husband. He is a gift.
In His presence is everything we want, safety, provision and alignment.
Out of it is certain death.
Just because we love God doesn’t mean we are in His presence.
I love going to the book of Galacians as a general guide.
5:22 the fruits of the Holy Spirit
22 ¶ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
You can go down that list.
Ask yourself…
Am I in God’s supernatural peace?
No peace? = you stepped out of His presence and possibly into fear and it could also be He trying to get your attention to tell you the cloud is moving or something else. That’s a great time to start praising Him. A great man of God once said “praise will keep you on your path.”
I am I joyful? There is NEVER a reason for any lover of God to EVER be sad and sorrowful- that’s not to confused with a holy grieving for the loss of a loved one.
Am I acting gentle? Or is there anger, irritation and bitterness in the heart?
So as you go down this list, you will know and God will show you.
If you are walking in offense … you have stepped out of His presence and have left the door open to the enemy.
If you are feeling sad and down… that’s not God.
Anxiety= not Holy Spirit.
The fruits of the flesh…
19 ¶ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,fnfornication, uncleanness, lewdness,20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,21 envy, murders,fndrunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Such a great scripture on how to know where your heart is at and how to CONSTANTLY be evaluating it.
I pray this blesses you.
Also, there’s a righteous anger and an unholy one. There’s a righteous grieving and an unholy one.
💜💜💜 stay in His presence, JC
