God has really been dealing with me over the past couple of weeks on His Presence Vs. His Glory. I am reading Bob Sorge’s book: Glory, When Heaven Invades Earth. Which I highly recommend. It’s a great follow up read to Bob’s popular book Following The River.
When we as believers gather with a heart after God, His Presence is a scriptural promise. But how do we move past being satisfied with experiencing merely the presence of God and into experiencing the Glory of God.
Moses was literally standing in the presence of God and what did Moses have to say? “Show me your Glory”. He wasn’t satisfied, he wanted more. It’s a sobering fact to think that we have settled for just a fraction of what God wishes to provide in our services and in our lives.
This coming week make it a point in your service or your secret place with God, when you begin to feel the presence of God sweeping over you, not to be satisfied. Keep pressing in, saying God I must have more!

Hiya,
I prayed with you a few Sunday mornings ago and I was thrilled to do so. I KNEW absolutely that God was working that morning and that He was going to do something new and strong in us.. Wow.
Thanks for the opportunity.. I have been through a lot of the modern revivals in our nation including the K.C. one with Mike Bickle and the Smithton group and I have been in a very strong church or two where the Power and Presence of God was very, VERY strong. I am so thankful that you are at our Church and you are doing a great job. Keep praying..
I get pretty discouraged but I am going to keep on praying. ( Thats all I can do ) and I can hope for greater understanding and love and trust that it’s God that is working in us and leading us in our Church and it’s God that we are to follow and it’s God that we can trust for it and let all else go in His Name and to His Glory..!!
Thanks again and God bless you all for being there for us..
