Psalm 139:7-8 says, “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!” Acts 17:26-28 says,Īnd he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Open your heart and mind to the truth about God’s nearness and allow your faith to be stirred for all the ways your heavenly Father would transform your life through encounter with him. Before we dive into different stories of God’s manifest presence on the earth, let’s take time to focus on the biblical basis for encountering God. Through the death of Christ there is nothing separating you from him. God, in his desire to have restored relationship with you, has made the reality of his presence fully available to you. Biblical characters modeled what it was to experience God consistently in both the New and Old Testaments. Jesus died so that we might walk in communion with our heavenly Father not only in heaven, but here on this earth.
From Moses and the tent of meeting to the disciples at Pentecost, we continually read about God supernaturally encountering his people in real, transformative ways. The Bible contains story after story of life-changing, world-altering encounters with the reality of God’s presence. It’s a troubling truth in Christianity today that many believers don’t know about or aren’t experiencing continual encounter with the real, manifest presence of God.
