INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES
INTRODUCTION
There is a man who stood on the shore of the ocean in wonder and amazement.
It is vast and it takes his breath away.
He feels small by what he sees and then ponders an even deeper reality: what he sees is not all there is!
The sheer magnitude of that moment, in all of its wonder and awe is swallowed up in the realization that there is more!.... there is MORE than what he has just witnessed and experienced.
That man gave his life to studying and journeying into the heart of the oceans to uncover all that could be uncovered.
That is how it is with God.
Coming to worship and going before the Lord is like standing at the shore of the ocean and marvelling at the sight.
But beloved,
There is more to the Lord than what we see, or what you have heard in days gone by.
The Lord is ready to meet with you and to show Himself to you in greater experiences of power.
That person who goes on a journey to tudy the ocean is called and oceanographer - they study the various aspects of the ocean to gain an understanding of how the ocean relates to all of life, etc.
BUT FOR SOME PEOPLE TODAY THESE WORDS COME OFF BLAND, AND EMPTY.
The person who goes on to journey into the heart of knowing and experiencing the Lord is called Christian.
THERE IS NO EXCITEMENT; THESE WORDS BREED NOT ANTICIPATION;
As the oceanographer does more than just admire the ocean and dis not content with just what he sees...
FPR SOME HERE TODAY, GOD IS MERELY A BY WORD THAT MEANS THE SAME THING AS THE WEEKEND.
WE THINK OF HIM WHEN WE THINK OF SUNDAY BUT NO MORE!
YOU ARE EMPTY OF GOD-NESS - GOD-THINKING; GOD-BREATHING; GOD-DESIRE!
BUT HERE IS MY QUESTION
As the oceanographer does more than just admire the ocean and dis not content with just what he sees...
So too is one a Christian who does more than admire God and who is not content with simply knowing the surface of the divine.
HERE IS MY QUESTION TO YOU: ARE YOU HINDERING THE POWER OF GOD?

Coming to worship and going before the Lord is like standing at the shore of the ocean and marvelling at the sight.
But beloved,
But the sheer magnitude of that moment is not what ou see.
It is the reality that there is so much more ocean to experience.
That is how it is with God.

HOW DID THEY HINDER GOD’S MOVE?
I. THE LOSS OF THE LORD’S PERSPECTIVE OF THINGS
· Perspective on what belongs to man – only thing that belongs to man is obedience to God
o Transgressing the covenant (see v 21) INTENTIONALLY OVERSTEPPING WHERE GOD SAID NOT TO GO!
§ When I saw (Intentional Craving)
· Seeing with the idea of knowing what it can do for you
Sight is not bad: but nurtured sight is dangerous.
You can see and not crave; but if you see and nurture the seeing then you intentional start to crave or desire something – in this case the evil)
o Coveted (Intentional Contriving)
§ Took a high degree of pleasure in
Took (Intentional Theft)
Hid (intentional deception)
§ To be prevented from being seen/discovered
o The stuff did not belong to Achan.
§ Yet he believed that God would not be truthful to His word of judgment
· , ,
o We don’t even belong to ourselves.
§ Every man was created to live in intimate fellowship with the God who created us; anything less than this is to live in our own flesh and strength
LEST YOU THINK THIS IS OT LOOK AT
II.
THE LOSS OF THE LORD’S PRESENCE
omni
a. Moses: if you don’t go with us
b.
See James MacDonald chapter
i.
If we don’t have the presence of the Lord, you don’t have jesus and if you don’t have Jesus you don’t have life and you certainly don’t worship.
omnipresence versus manifest presence
omnipresence=God is everywhere
manifest presence= God univeIls his power over you and in your life/situation
THE WORLD GETS TO EXPERIENCE HIS OMNIPRESENCE; GOD HUNGRY PEOPLE, FIGHTING AND SEPARATING THEMSELVES FROM SIN IN A DESPERATE PURSIT OF HIM: THESE GET TO EXPERIENCE HIS MANIFEST PRESENCE.
c.
Why presence is important
i.
Ichabo
OH THE HORROR WHEN THE GLORY OF HIS PRESENCE DEPARTS FROM A SOUL AND FROM A CHURCH!
ii.
Presence within us – Holy Spirit
OH THE HORROR WHEN THE GLORY OF HIS PRESENCE DEPARTS FROM A SOUL AND FROM A CHURCH!
1. Grieve Him
a.
No growth
b.
Not power
