God’s Presence Every time I enter into, or began to enter in, I get this visual. I am walking towards the King’s court. I began to walk up these golden steps plated with diamonds. I stop to take off my shoes because I know this is Holy ground. As I continue to walk I come to a door, eighty feet tall, covered in jewels and gold. The doors opened but I don’t hear an invite to come in, but in my gut I know I’m invited. I begin to walk down the corridor and as I walk scenes from my life are playing up on the walls. I began to see things that I have done, good and bad. Then the movie changes; it’s still the same scene but with another figure standing by me through everything. Then just before I see my future I come upon another door, more extravagant than the first door. As I stand there, all of a sudden, I am consumed in a fire! But I am not burning; the fire is comforting and peaceful. Then all of a sudden it stops. I hear a still small voice that speaks: “Enter”. The door opens and I enter.I see a big room full of food and treasure like nothing I have ever seen before. My eyes gaze upon a throne with no one there. I stand and cry. Someone comes up behind me and places a hand on my shoulder. “Why do you cry?” He asks. “MyKing, my Savior, my Abba isn’t here! I need to just sit at his feet; just sit!” Then He turns me around. It is Him, my King, my Abba. As I look at Him, He is dressed like me, in clothes unfit for a King. Then He looks into my eyes and doesn’t say anything, but at my core I know He is happy that I have come. His eyes are full of love, kindness, and hope. He says to come let us commune with each other. And so we just sit, I sit at His feet just enjoying His presence, then I realize that as I just listen to Him, I have this new love for my Abba. All of a sudden I realize I have to leave to head to the class. I start to cry. He asks, “What’s wrong?” “I don’t want to leave; I feel whole; I know I am completewhen I’m with You.” All He does is cry with me for what seems like forever. Then He wipes my tears and says, “I have always been with you and always willbe. Remember the scene you saw, that other person… that was Me. You live in My presence daily, but you just don’t know it. Go and live with Me daily, we can talk like this everyday. Just turn your heart toward Me.” At that moment I return to my standing position in chapel. But with a different mind set. He is here and I know it! |
