Encountering God's Presence1:57 – 3:25

BobUnknown

1:57

in this passage, we get a

Esther JonesGuest

1:58

window of what it means to step into the presence of God.

Esther JonesGuest

2:03

It is so powerful.

Esther JonesGuest

2:05

It's beautiful.

Esther JonesGuest

2:07

And it's a place where you can hear his voice so clearly and loudly.

Esther JonesGuest

2:12

And though it may seem scary, I mean, if I saw some burning bush talking to me, I don't really know what I would do.

Esther JonesGuest

2:19

But Like it's holy ground.

Esther JonesGuest

2:22

You can take off your shoes.

Esther JonesGuest

2:23

It's that raw, intimate relationship with Jesus.

Esther JonesGuest

2:27

For me, when I feel most safe with God is when I'm alone with him.

Esther JonesGuest

2:32

And when I really let him speak.

Esther JonesGuest

2:34

In Wales, during the summer, me and my family were staying in a converted chapel.

Esther JonesGuest

2:40

And my family were out with the day.

Esther JonesGuest

2:41

So I was like, okay, it's time to have my Jesus time.

Esther JonesGuest

2:45

And I was sat on this camp chair in the middle of this chapel next to my dog.

Esther JonesGuest

2:50

And I was just started singing into the presence of God.

Esther JonesGuest

2:54

And that's when I realized I do not have a voice like Brittany's.

Esther JonesGuest

2:57

But...

Esther JonesGuest

2:59

But God still spoke and his presence was still there.

Esther JonesGuest

3:04

And he, what a God we have and what a God we worship.

Esther JonesGuest

3:11

So I wanted to address the question of what is the presence of God? Today I will be talking about knowing the Father's presence, surrendering to his presence and living in his presence.
