Emmanuel [Part 2] (The Blessings of His Presence) by Apostle Joshua Selman
John 1:1-2 NKJV
The God you know is the God you reveal to your world.
John 15:8 NKJV, John 17:1 NKJV, Matthew 5:16 NKJV
The most effective way to preach the gospel is to have the message and your evidence.
There are 3 dimensions of God that can be revealed to a people
- His Omnipresence – The ability of God is everywhere.
- His Omniscience – His Emmanuel dimension
- His Omnipotent – His Shakina
What it means for God to be with a man
Exodus 33:14-16 NKJV
1. In the presence of God, you get rest.
Without the presence of God, delay is even more profitable than taking a step without him
Judges 6:1-14 NKJV
Luke 24:13-32 NKJV
Jesus stays with whoever gives them space.
What happens when Men encounter God
- When man finds God.
Isaiah 6:1-8 NKJV, Acts 9:2-6 NKJV
Everything about you must change when you encounter God.
The most valid reason to show that you encountered God is a changed heart.
The heart of a believer’s journey is that ping and that transformation that happens when you meet the God of the Bible.
The life that powers the flesh is the hard condition of his victim.
In the economy of God, the heart condition of a man is the central control room.
The day God starts calling for your heart, know that power is looking for you.
The hardest part of a believer’s life is where you are to that spiritual surgical table where you lie down and allow God to work on you.
When the God of the Bible comes, he comes to perform a surgery you didn’t think you needed.
Nothing changes about God when you meet him, but everything must change about you when you meet God.
Every time your spiritual activities are not producing results, the activities are not the problem. The central processing system in a man’s destiny is not your heart but your heart condition.
The encounter with the heart condition of men is the first assignment of God’s presence. 2 Chronicles 25:1-2 NKJV.
Anytime the Bible says God found a man, he found the heart condition he is looking for.
Spiritual activities plus Your heart condition is what God looks at before he uses a man.
The more God touches your heart the more you rise.
What is your heart?
Your heart is what is important to you the most. Everything you have invested your confidence upon is your heart.
God does not come to take it to leave you bankrupt, he takes it to become your completion.
When God comes, he does not only come to give, he comes to take. There are things he must take so that what he gives will make sense for you
Use your activities and connect them to surrender.
