Dear friends, if we feel at ease in the presence of God, we will have the courage to come near him. He will give us whatever we ask, because we obey him and do what pleases him. God wants us to have faith in his Son Jesus Christ and to love each other. This is also what Jesus taught us to do. If we obey God's commandments, we will stay one in our hearts with him, and he will stay one with us. The Spirit he has given us is proof that we are one with him.
1 John 3:21-24
Do you feel at ease in the presence of God and do you have the courage to come near Him? The answer to those questions is very important in determining how you live your life.
The "victorious Christian life" is not the experience of a man or woman who is uncomfortable in the presence of God. And if you don't have the courage to come near Him how can you show the Glory of God to those around you? There is no powerful witness from a man who is separated from God. All Satan has to do to remove you from the battle is to make you uncomfortable to be in God's presence. You may not join the forces of Satan in the battle, but you will be silent when the battle begins to rage around you.
How do you become comfortable in the same room with God? The answer to that really is quite simple. If you are obeying His commands you will feel no threat when you come close to God. Search God's Word to see if there are any commands you have not kept and then set your heart to obey each and every one.
If you are at ease and comfortable in the presence of God, Satan will not be at ease in your presence. When you draw near to God, He will draw near to you and Satan will run!
"Lord Jesus show me today everything that is keeping me from being comfortable in the presence of God. May Your name be praised forever. Amen!"
