Presence

Move in revival!

The children of Israel lived beneath one of the most visible manifestations of God’s presence ever revealed. The cloud was constant — covering them by day, becoming fire by night. It marked God’s nearness, His protection, and His leadership. It told them when to move, when to stop, and where to go. Yet Paul makes a sobering point: being under the cloud did not keep them from rebellion. The presence of God was undeniable, but obedience remained selective.

Practicing the Presence: Abiding as a Lifestyle

The life of the new creation is not sustained by effort, discipline, or religious activity—it is sustained by abiding. Identity in Messiah does not drive us into striving; it draws us into intimacy.

The Temple of the Holy Spirit: Identity as God’s Dwelling Place

From the dawn of creation, God’s desire has always been the same — to dwell with His people. In Eden, He walked with Adam in the cool of the day. In the wilderness, He filled the Tabernacle with His glory. In Jerusalem, His presence descended upon Solomon’s Temple with such weight that the priests could not stand to minister. Throughout Scripture, the heart of God beats with a single longing: to be with His people and to dwell among them.

The Birth of Covenant at Mount Sinai — Now Written in Fire!

Fifty days after the first Passover, Israel stood trembling before Mount Sinai. Thunder rolled, lightning flashed, and the mountain blazed with holy fire. The Lord descended in glory, and His voice shook the earth as He entered covenant with His people—not merely to free them from bondage, but to bind them to Himself in love and holiness. On that day, the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), the Law was given, written by the very finger of God and sealed in fire. It was a wedding at the mountain: the Redeemer taking His redeemed as His own.

The Covering Glory: Dwelling Under His Presence

During the Feast of Tabernacles, Israel was called to build a sukkah — a fragile, open, temporary dwelling. Yet it was far more than protection from the elements; it was a prophetic sign that the true covering of God’s people is not made of branches or cloth, but of His abiding presence.

The Water and the Light: Joy in His Presence

During the days of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jerusalem overflowed with rejoicing. Every night, torches illuminated the city, and worshippers filled the courts of the Temple with singing, dancing, and laughter. It was said, “He who has not seen the rejoicing at the Water-Drawing Ceremony has never seen joy in his life.”
