Hello Everyone, We know that God is present everywhere, and He manifested His GLORY in the Most Holy Place of the tabernacle and the temple. He even told Israel, "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite" (Isaiah 57:15*). As we pray to our Father, we first recognize that He is in Heaven. He manifests His presence and His glory in a special way in Heaven. John saw His throne there encircled by an emerald halo (Revelation 4:2,3). His blessings come to us from Heaven. In fact, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" (James 1:17). We can depend on Him!!! Stephen, the first martyr, was full of the Holy Spirit as he was being stoned (Acts 7). He looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God (the place of authority). Other scripture speaks of Jesus seated at the right hand of the Mighty One (Mark 14:62; Luke 22:69). First John 2:1 says Jesus is there as our Helper, our Paraclete [Greek, parakletos], interceding for us, speaking to the Father in our behalf. We can depend on Him!!! Greater Things Are Still To Come! Remember our Fast starting tonight at 6:00 until tomorrow evening. Pastor Phil
