An Easy Way to Identify Proof of His Presence

Overwhelming joy is a product of our God. There is but one feeling and experience you can gain in the presence of God, that’s joy. If you don’t feel or experience joy, it means that you’ve not been in His presence. I call this the presence-test. When you pray or go to church, what you should experience is joy. No joy, no God.

“I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels.”  – The Prophet Isaiah

pabloI’m sure this is making you think about the last time you’ve prayed or gone to church. Did you experience joy? For most the answer is no, I didn’t. Does this mean I didn’t encounter God?

Hmmm… Probably not. But you can. You’ve just been around ordinary people who don’t know what it’s like to be in the presence of God. How can anyone who’s never been in His presence, teach you anything about it?

Now, joy is the proof of His presence. He has saved us from the devastating effects that we produce for ourselves.

Think of it this way, He has rescued us from all the bad stuff that happens to normal people. For us, we can live like no one else. We can be happy everyday and enjoy life to the fullest. This would bring anyone unbelievable joy.

Until you’ve been saved from your old way of life and have been given a new one, you’ll never know the joy that comes from His salvation. You’ll still be searching for it.

iPray: In Him I’ve found joy because I’ve been rescued from the old me and been given a new life.

The above scripture quote is from Isaiah 61:10 of the New International Version.
