UCLA speaker
Presence of God - could we be "downing" it? Down playing
Exodus 33:12 - Moses after meeting God
Moses pleads with God to be able to see His glory
God tells Moses that his glory is his GOODNESS
Exodus 34:6-7 God's description about himself. Abounding in love and faithfulness (steadfast love)
Experiencing goodness takes away your defenses. Eating good food you actually crumble.
Like when you eat good food, when you experience God's love you will also Ahhh and you will relax and you will put your eyes on God. That ahhhhhh when you just relax.... Is how God's love will make you feel
Exodus 34:29 Moses was radiant when he came back down.
Psalm 63:4-8 - praises spilling out because he was able to sit and be in God's presence
Glory - creation groans for that great day when earth and heaven collide
To be able to think of God's greatness and then realize that soon we will get to experience it eternally uninterrupted
How can we not be homesick if we have truly experienced God's love?
Have I experienced God's presence? If yes, cling onto it and hunger for it.
How amazing God is:
Exodus
Revelation - God's dwelling wth us (chapter 21)
Steadfast love
Presence of God
- me not being very good about it
Song: Great is thy faithfulness
God you are so amazing and so wonderful thank you for being in charge of everything. Father thank you for bringing me here to UCLA today and thank you for speaking to me today, for allowing me to be in your presence. Father your glory is so bright and so wonderful and you are beyond wonderful. Father thank you for just instilling this lesson in my heart, that I need to be in your presence all the time. Thank for for giving me another chance, for chasing Satan away and for clearing my head, letting me see and realize that it is you who I need to always always hang on to and look towards. Father may I have a bright bubble that is radiant of your light, a white bubble for your goodness, and may I be bouncing not off Satan and all evil thoughts and influences. Father you are truly awesome. The speaker tonight he experienced your hug and he is walking towards that hug. Father may I also experience that kinda of magnitude of your love, in whatever way and form and manner that you may allow me to do so. May I see it as what it is - extraordinary and yet something that should be happen very very often - and may I delight in your presence. May I seek to be in your presence more often father, that I may always delight in you and focus on you, that I may keep my eyes on Jesus (like the song we sang tonight). Father, I love you and thank you for loving me so much. Thank you for your wonderful grace and never ending mercies, thank you for your love that is bountiful and plentiful, and thank you for all that you have done for me. Thank you for your steadfast love, and your mercies that are new every morning, great is your faithfulness Lord!!!
