God, I need your presence more than presents.

Exodus 33:14; 1 Chronicles 16:2; Psalms 9:3, 16:11, 23:5, 51:11, 91:1 137:7; Zephaniah 1:7; Hebrews 9:24

We are walking in today: God, I need your presence more than presents.

Exodus 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. We all know this time of year we are out buying presents. We take our time to make sure our husbands, wives, children, friends, sisters, brothers, co-workers, etc.--have the perfect gift. God's presence is more than any present! Presence is defined as the state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in place or thing. A person or thing that exists or present in a place but is not seen. We have some unseen favor. This is a season to seek the presence of the Lord. Don't worry about the present you will receive, let's get in the presence of the Lord. Present is defined as a gift. The only gift, is in the presence of God. In His presence there is peace, joy, rest, and love. 1 Chronicles 16:27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. When you are in the presence of the Lord, He always shows up with more. Psalm 9:3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. Your enemies cannot stand in His presence. They will fall and perish. Double attack on the enemy!! Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Joy and pleasures are in His presence!!! That's why He gave us a weekend meditation of victory in all things!!! Victory is in the presence of the Lord. Psalm 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. I have a God that shows up and prepares a table in the presence of my enemies. Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Tell God I need your presence in this season!!! Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Let us seek and remain in His presence. Psalms 137:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? There is no where that the Lord can not find you. Turn back to Him. He is right here. Keep your focus on the word. Seek out His presence, not presents. Zephaniah 1:7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. The Lord has prepared a sacrifice, and bid His guests. Will we do as He bids us? Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. Thank You Jesus! Because of His sacrifice, we are able to appear in the presence of the Lord. Hallelujah!! Praise Him!!! Thank you Lord!!
Think about it, when you are in the presence of the Lord, things change. Remember while you are out shopping for gifts, you should be seeking His presence. Deliverance, peace, rest and joy are in the presence of the Most High. We can be thankful because God gave us the perfect gift, Jesus. Help us to be surrounded by Your Spirit. We come seeking Your face. Everything we need is in the presence of the Lord. Peace and rest are in His presence. Seek God for the answers that you need. I can feel the presence of the Lord--reach up and pull down your blessings, into the natural. Call on Him. Seek Him. It's all in the presence of the Lord. He will come--sometimes suddenly. Think about the goodness of the Lord. Healing, change and deliverance in His presence. Think about Jesus--the reason for the season. We would have died, if not for His sacrifice. If it was not for the blood that was shed on Calvary--where would we be?! There is none like Him!! We need to be surrounded by You and to walk with You. We have found a place where the devil can't find us--in Your presence. Thank You for Your present, Your only begotten. We already have the perfect gift--Jesus. All day long He keeps and comforts us. Thank You for who You are! Thank You for showing up to tell us--Christ is the reason for the season. Seek the presence of the Lord--in His presence there is so much joy! Thank You for who You are. Thank You Lord for taking off depression--in Your presence. I can feel the presence of the Lord, and I'm gonna get by blessing right now! Thank You for showing up at fiveamprayer. Let God know that Jesus is the reason for the season. He put us on this path for a one on one with Him. We know that everything we need is in Your presence. Healing, deliverance, liberty, peace, rest in His presence. Tell yourself--'all I need is the presence of the Lord'. More of You Lord, and less of us. We can feel Your presence--chains are being broken and people being loosed. Call on the name of Jesus--He will show up and show out. We lift up fiveamprayer, let them seek Your presence. We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown. We ask for Your forgiveness, we know that when You forgive there is no condemnation. Thank You Lord for forgiving us. Teach us how to forgive like You Lord. Just like God was with David, He is with us. Your presence is enough for us! Hallelujah God. We are in the presence of the Lord. We can feel Your Holy Spirit resting on us. Jesus is on the main line, tell Him what you want. He is reaching our to fiveamprayer. Take this time--stay in the presence of the Lord. Seek Him like never before.

We write in the precious blood: Thank You for Your presence.
