Bring it….

I’m becoming more and more aware of the awesome privilege of being of Priest of God Most High. Whether it be leading a worship service or talking to a youth group or praying for someone or ministering to a hurting or unsaved person. God has entrusted me (us) with the treasure of manifesting His presence in the midst of any situation. I mean; We come. We focus on Him. He comes. It’s awesome. If there was one thing in my life that I am excited about lately, it’s the re-awakened awareness that I can bring the presence (the manifest felt presence) of God into a space. God has put this gift on me and on all of us. We can lead it. Initiate it. It is His will. I was mindful of this as I spoke at a youth meeting last week and apart from the message I had (which was just okay), I really noticed how the atmosphere changed as I began to focus and re-focus attention on Jesus and keeping it there. From the onset of the worship service through to the word, to a prayer time….not taking our eye off of Him. Flowing ever so mindfully and gingerly from one part of the service to another and noticing His continual flow and manifest presence. Yeah, we’re all saying…DOH!….yeah, what’s the point? This is obvious! But I just think we forget what we carry and who we are. BRING IT! BRING HIM! That’s what it’s all about. Bring Him NOT ONLY in us. But through us and even TO US. That we would attract Him wherever we are. And the atmosphere would attract Him. So that those in our sphere of influence at any particular moment would be impacted by His presence…whether it be our prayer circle, or supermarket check out line, or our office cubicle…..whatever. We lift Him up and He will draw all men unto himself. We also lift Him up and he will be drawn to us and those around us. For where two or more are gathered in His name…there HE IS in the midst.
