PEOPLE of the PRESENCE [Part 2] w/RON OHST
“My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest…because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”
Exodus 33:14-17
b. In The New Testament
Galations 3:2-5 / Hebrews 6:4-5
Bibical Christianity is marked by the presence of God's Spirit, and it should be more than a theological position about the Holy Spirit's place in the Trinity; it should be an experienced reality.
2- Practical Steps
"Because the Holy Spirit is active in speaking to his people, to his Church, and to the world he loves all around us, our jobs as Christions is to give the Holy Spirit permission to more in our lives and gatherings. This is the first step in learning to live in the Spirit (Gal. 5:16-25)" -Vineyard, USA "Come Holy Spirit- living our lives guided by God's presence"
a. Having seen the Biblical desription of the life in the Spirit, pray for the dyanamic of the Spirit to be reality
1 Corinthians 14:1
b. Begin to consciously and intentionally look for signs of the Spirit among us and bless them ('stir up the gift" -Timothy 1:6-7)
c. Act on the quiet promptings of the Holy Spirit, maintaining humility and a teachable attitude (under-promise and over-deliver, not the other way around).

PEOPLE of the PRESENCE [Part 1] w/RON OHST
“My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest…because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”
Exodus 33:14-17
-In order to see God’s vision and fulfill God’s mission for us, we must be People of the Presence
Our vision: For people everywhere to know and worship God in all His glory and goodness.
Our mission: To build growing communities of worshipers who are becoming like Christ, empowered to do His work.
-The Presence is the resource for the mission
Matthew 28: 18-20
1- People of the Presence
Being marked by God’s dynamic Presence has always been the biblical expectation for God’s people.
a. In the Old Testament
Exodus 33:12-20
The primary, foundational answer to all our questions and needs is not a “what” but a “who”,the personal presence of God Himself.
Already in the Exodus God had begun fulfilling His vision of the whole earth filled with the knowledge of God’s glory and goodness.
The Presence of God is equated with the Spirit of Yahweh (Isaiah 63:9-14, Psalm 139:7)
