my sunday ramblings recap

last week i started teaching a ladies class.
it is about the importance of staying in God's presence.

because all of you can't attend it, i thought i would re-cap each week's lessons here!

The Power of Being in God's Presence

Exodus 33

-God's presence is what sets us apart from all other people on earth. (v.16)

*weak presence = weak power

*strong presence = strong power

We all receive God's presence at the moment of salvation.

Living in God's presence will affect every single aspect of your life.

We experience God's presence before we even realize what it is! - John 16:8

God's presence does three things:

1. convicts

Psalms 19:7-11

2. comforts

Psalm 94:19

3. compels

Deuteronomy 6:1-2

“self can never cast out self, even in the regenerate man…nothing but the presence of God can reveal & expel self.” Andrew Murray

~What are you spending your energy on?

*don't waste your energy talking about problems or people

Zephaniah 1:7 – stand in silence at the presence of the Lord

Am I being quiet enough to even hear God? Am I allowing Him to do His job?

*What is the biggest factor that affects your time with God right now?

*What is one change you think you could make this week to?

This will be a 6-week class. Anyone is invited to attend any Sunday! It begins at 9:30 and goes for one hour.
