Today in service was a great message from God. Pastor Cindy is a true follower of Christ she listens to the Holy Spirit and allows to it to move in the service. These are my notes and my thoughts of the message. It may be long but its really something i truly love.
Today Pastor Cindy Spoke about being in the presence of God. 1 chronicles 13: 1-14
Man’s way vs. God’s:
- We tend to be in the presence of God by doing what we think is right. Well we need to do things Gods way.
- We tend to do things that we feel by instinct that is best for the kingdom of God and best for our lives. We dont even inquire of Gods request or his will.
Emotional Reaction:
- We can’t let our emotions influence our praise and become the only reason why we worship and praise God.
- We need to praise God no matter how we feel then let our emotions and inspirations come afterwards.
Sacred as Secular:
- We need to treat being in the presence of God as Holy and Sacred.
- We can’t act like being in God’s presents as common and not important.
- When in God’s presence let it be Holy/ Sacred/ LIFE-CHANGING!
- When in the the presence of God in his holiness we will feel all our sins in our life but we will still feel his grace and love.
Reaction To the Presence of God:
- We can either…
- Run From God..
- People are afraid of God and don’t want anything to do with him for fear of his anger/wrath/death.
- Run to God..
- People need to fear God so we can have motivation to continue to live for him.
The Threshing Floor
- A floor that the Farmer was able to separate the good from the bad of the crop.
- We need to go to God on the threshing Floor so we can have our sins taken away and only left with the good in our lives, so we can be clean.
- There will be a time when all the things we did for ourselves and not for the kingdom of god will be burned.
- What we do with and in the presence of God will withstand the Fire.
God’s way to his presence
- To be in Gods presence we need to Consecrate ourselves.
- Wash our mind, soul and body
- Offer our sacrifices, (Money, Time, love)
- We need to remove all things in our life that do not honor God.
- We need to be broken on front of God.
- What we do in our free time and alone time should honor God.
I KNOW THIS IS REALLY LONG BUT THESE ARE THE NOTES THAT I TOOK IN SERVICE TODAY AND THEY ARE SO TRUE I WANT TO HAVE THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT ALLOW ME TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. GOD I GIVE YOU MY ALL!
