In His Presence

Acts 1:3

Acts 1:3 NLT

During the forty days after he suffered and died, he appeared to the apostles from time to time, and he proved to them in many ways that he was actually alive. And he talked to them about the Kingdom of God.

James 4:6–8 NLT

And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

How is one not in His presence?

How does one get into His presence?

Prayer and Meditation

Lent Season/Sacrifice of want in life

Drawing closer to God means seeking Him and hearing Him.

No hidden agendas

Must have an humble spirit.

Drawing close to God brings peace, joy, and love.

David said in Psalm 51:10-12

Psalm 51:10–12 NLT

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.
