Creativity in His Presence

He is the Creator. As sons and daughters of God, we have access to the creativity of the God who created the universe. It’s no wonder that, when we take time to just be with Him, He shares secrets with us in the secret place. His heart is to share with us ideas, inventions, poetry, pictures to paint, songs to sing. His heart is longing for a people who will take the time to give ourselves to Him to listen, feel, see, taste, and smell. 

And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God (Romans 6:13). 

This time with Him is so powerful and worth fighting for when life demands our time. When we take time to rest first, the power will be there to do what we need to do, with much fruit and more ease. 

There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest … (Hebrews 4:9-11). 

When we see from His perspective, life looks very different. Mark 1:15 says, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” Jesus did say that we need to “repent,” which means change our way of thinking. He came, and He brought His Kingdom with Him! What a Kingdom it is! You have access! 

God wants to prosper His sons and daughters, and He is giving new ideas and inventions to those who take time to fellowship and listen. As we receive in His presence, we must remember to also seek council from His Word (the Bible), prophetic words, the leaders He has placed in our lives, friends, family, etc. It is important, when the Lord gives us a directional word, to submit it to people we know who hear His voice in order to receive confirmation. “…The sheep follow Him, for they know His voice” (John 10:4). “… Watch to see what He will say to me…” (Hab. 2:1).

How to Soak 

As I explained, when we soak we focus on Jesus and rest in His presence. How beautiful is the face of a transformed heart, shining with the glory of God! 


Take time everyday to just be with Him. You may want to start with just ten minutes, but you can go longer. Put gentle worship music on, if you want, focus on Him, and just rest. Write down on a piece of paper all of the things that come to your mind that you need to remember to do. That will help you to rest and focus on the Lord. Sometimes He’ll show you a picture or a vision, or He’ll say something to you or just lavish His love on you. Other times He may show you a painful memory and help you release all of the pain, show you the people you need to forgive, and repent for your ungodly responses, or any other hindrances that may keep His love from flowing in your life. Other times He may heal your body, give you strength, convict you of sin, or release creative ideas—what He desires to give you at that moment. He knows best what you need.

You may feel the tangible presence of God or sometimes His peace. It is not about feeling, but we were created to feel and experience love. Imagine not feeling the love you have for your spouse, your children, your friends. We can feel God’s love! It is not about what happens; it is about us taking the time because He is worth it, and He knows what we need. Sometimes it may feel like nothing “happened” at all, but when you give your time like that, He will touch your heart. 

You can trust that the Holy Spirit is working. Remember, everything that we receive from God we receive by faith. Faith must be positive and focused on God. (Not negative and fearful, focused on the enemy).

Jesus said in Luke 11:11-13: If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him! 

The key is intimacy. It is not a program to be run and managed, but a relationship to be maintained.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, because anyone who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

BEHOLDING IS BECOMING (PART - 1)

BEHOLDING IS BECOMING (PART - 1) FACE TO FACE  In GODS sovereign plan HE designed us to live in HIS presence, and be filled with HIS very presence, and from that place we shine with HIS glory in all we are and all we do. We are created for face-to-face encounters with GOD. Imagine the first time Adam opened his eyes at the very instance GOD breathed on his nostrils the breath of Life. In a moment, He saw the face of GOD shining in glory right in front of him! Just imagine, as he was gazing upon HIS face, all that GOD is...HIS love, power, goodness, majesty, perfection, and glory inundated him and every fiber of his being pulsated with divine life. Literally, Adam was saturated with GOD. He was soaked in glory!  This is a beautiful picture of what face-to-face with GOD looks like. This encounter was not just for Adam exclusively, but it is for the rest of mankind as well. In GOD'S sovereign plan, HE designed us, HIS Masterpiece, to live in HIS presence, in the place...

NO PHYSICAL DEATH

 No Physical Death Let ‘s start with the quote “As He is, so are we in Christ” which indicates the immortality of human life. According to the Word, we should be the reflection of His image. Which means, if Christ can’t die, so we should be. Then, what does death mean to us? Origin of Death: “Romans 5.12(KJV)”- Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned The verse convey’ s that DEATH entered the world through SIN. “Romans 6.2-11(KJV)”- 2 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrec...

Identity in CHRIST - Part 2 ( Crucified with CHRIST)

Crucified with CHRIST Galatians 2:20 When Paul said, "I have been crucified with CHRIST," it meant he had been judged, condemned, cast out, stripped naked, and nailed to the Cross. The very thought of crucifixion to a Jew, and especially to a Pharisee, brought a sense of shame and horror. When Saul of Tarsus identified himself with the Man, JESUS, accepted HIM as his SAVIOR, and confessed HIM as his LORD, that moment he became a crucified man to the Jewish people. He became an outcast. No wonder he said in Gal. 6:14 that the world had been crucified unto him, and he had been crucified unto the world.  The world had been stripped naked to Paul. There was no longer any delusionin regard to it. He could no longer be deceived. He knew its cruelty. He had felt its lash upon his back.  He remembered the stoning that had left him unconscious. He remembered that in every place he went, he faced the anger, bitterness, and jealousy of men.  He had been stripped naked ...
