So what does it mean to continually be in the presence of GOD. I've had problems with that for a very long time until now GOD has made me have a little understanding about his presence.
In exodus33 vs 7, Moses took his own tent and pitched it outside the camp of isreal and called it the tabernacle of meeting where he continually dwelled in the presence of GOD. Ok, now if we back it up a little and go back to the garden of eden, we see that man (adam and eve) had the presence of GOD with him. This exactly is what GOD really craved for. But man fell and GOD still dwelled with them although his manifestations had to be physical because man had died spiritually, but GOD was still dwelling with man Genesis 4 vs 1-15 GOD still had a relationship with man until Genesis 6 vs 3 when GOD said HIS SPIRIT shall no longer dwell with man. Since that time GOD only dwelled with some people.
Now we know that GOD is spirit. The very day you gave your life to Christ that instance the HOLY SPIRIT who is also known has the SPIRIT of GOD comes and dwells in you. That's what makes you alive. John 14 vs 23 ''Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.'' So JESUS' comandment is that you believe in him and you have the presence of GOD with you, better than what moses had because, any where you are GOD'S in you but moses had to go to the tabernacle of meeting to be in the presence of GOD. But every time we live our quite time and go shopping, or we go to work, or do anything other than pray or read our bibles we feel like we've left GOD'S presence. The reason why this happens is because we have not learnt to filter, not noise but what matters from what doesn't.
Its written ''the just shall live by faith and not by sight''. Turn your scriptures to mark 4 vs 35-41, here the disciples and JESUS himself where in a boat but because of what was happening in their surrounding they lost the awareness that the saviour of the world GOD himself was in the boat with. So they lost touch. That is what we all do as Christians we are easily disturbed because of what happens around us. We should always know that GOD is always with us no matter what.
Let me say this the presence of GOD is not in feelings, it is in the constant consciousness that GOD Is in us...........GANG OUT
