Important Ways the knowledge of the presence of God has helped me

God is Here, experiencing the presence of God |
Right at the
core of the Christian theology is the basic truth of God’s Divine Immanence.
God and His creation are inseparable, for God dwells in His creation.
Everything we see explains and show forth the beauty, and also tells us of the
glorious revelation of the divine God.
The Divine
Immanence simply means “God is here”.
“God is over all things, under all things, outside all; within, but not enclosed; without, but not excluded; above but not raised up, below, but not depressed; wholly above, presiding; wholly without, embracing; wholly within, filling.” Hildebert of Lavardin.
God is here,
and He is ever ready to manifest His divine presence to anyone at any point in
time. In fact, constant fellowship is that which the father desires.
Job made us
to understand that; God is closer to us as the breath of our nostril (Job 27:3),
and to narrow it down, the Epistles makes us to understand that “God dwells in
us”, “We are His temple” (1 Corinthians 3:16), and in some other places it says
“We are in God, we live in Him and in Him do we have our being. Acts 17:28.
What a joy
divine is it to know that God is not far away, He is here with us and in us.
Glory to God.

Shortly, the
knowledge of the divine immanence (the very fact that God is here) has helped
me in so many ways:
God is here: 4 Ways This Knowledge has helped me
1. A total
change in my prayer life: Before, I used to think God was some millions or
billions of miles away, and I need to pray hard, pray aloud, cry like anything,
and roll on the floor several miles, for this will quickly draws the attention
of God and God will quickly hear me.

You know what, I don’t do that anymore, I
now talk to God, just like as a child talks to his/her own father. For God is
here.
2. I now have
a sense of victory in all I do: That God is here is an assuring sound of
victory in my hear. And it giveth me hope. “For if God is for me, who can stand
against me.”
3. Because
God is here, There is no more fear, no more despair. The Psalmist put it nicely
when he says: I Have set the Lord always before me, because He’s at my right
hand, I will not be shaken.
4. An
attitudinal change in the way and manner of worshiping God. “That God is for
me, that He is here” brings about sweetness, happiness, joy filling my heart
daily, even in every blessed day of Worshiping God.
Conclusion
Don’t think God is far away from you: No, He is Here (with you), He is in you:
Having this knowledge and absorbing it into our being will definitely bring victory
to us on daily basis. Glory to God.
