His Presence! 

ARE YOU MAKING ROOM Scripture: Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” There is something special about the way God fills our lives. He never forces His way into a crowded heart. Instead, He invites us to make room for Him. Yesterday we prayed, “Pour Out Your Spirit, Lord.” It is a wonderful thing to desire because it recognizes our dependence upon God. We should always long for His Presence, His Wisdom, His Peace, and His Power to work in our lives. But Today, the question becomes a little more personal. Have you made room to receive what you've been asking God to pour out?

I. Swayed by His PresenceII. Starving for His PowerIII. Surrendered to His AuthorityLearn Your Bible: Read Luke 6:46-49 and John 14:15. How do these passages define true surrender to Jesus? What do they reveal about the difference between hearing His words, admiring Him, and surrendering to His authority?Love Your Neighbor: How can you reflect the compassion of Jesus this week to someone who is seeking help but not yet surrendered to Him?Live in Freedom: What would it look like for you to seek Jesus, not only for what He can do for you, but for who He is?

WHAT WE COVERNumbers 2 reveals how Yahuah positioned every tribe around His Presence before Israel moved forward.We examine:• Why the Tabernacle remained at the center• Why every tribe had an appointed place• Why position is stewardship, not status• How the camp moved according to Yahuah's order• The difference between divine placement and personal preferenceWHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSNumbers 1 established who belonged in the camp.Numbers 2 establishes where every tribe belonged.Yahuah did not allow Israel to choose its own position or determine its own movement. Every tribe camped where He commanded, and the entire nation remained ordered around His Presence.The question is not whether Yahuah has assigned us a place.The question is whether we will remain where He has appointed us.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESNumbers 2:1-34Numbers 1:1-54Exodus 40:34-38Numbers 9:15-23ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.

Glenna Marshall is a Pastor's wife and mother of two sons. She's the author of: The Promise of His Presence, Everyday Faithfulness, and other books. She appeared on Crosstalk to discuss her newest release: "Praying in Pain: How to Know You're Heard When You Haven't Been Healed." Have you ever gone to bed at night dreading the next multiple hours where sleep eludes you due to pain? Perhaps this isn't a single night but night after night. You try the usual things, shifting your position in bed multiple times, trying different pillow positions, perhaps using some sort of over-the-counter pain-reliever, perhaps applying heat or cold, or moving from your bed to the couch to the recliner and then back to your bed again with no lasting relief. Glenna writes, "I've spent many nights treading water in an ocean of pain. And yet, I can think of no other place or time when God has most faithfully met me in the dark. In the night. In the crucible of my deepest and hardest physical suffering. I have learned that though it feels impossibly hard to pray in the grip of crushing pain, prayer is how we survive it. It's how we endure." What about when your pain is so great you cannot pray? Is it normal to feel like God is ignoring us when we're in pain? What about those who say prayer for pain is merely complaining to God? What help can the Psalms bring to such situations? What part does gratitude play when suffering? These are just a number of questions Glenna answers as she explains, from experience, how to handle pain from a biblical perspective.

Because God already knows every challenge you will ever face, He has fully prepared you through His love, His Word, His Presence, His Power, and His Purpose to overcome every storm with faith instead of fear.

In the concluding message of the Culture of Heaven series, Pastor Lee brings an inspiring word to The Tabernacle Church titled Joy in His Presence. Drawing from the final chapter of the book of Ruth, this teaching explores the beautiful concept of redemption and how God's loving kindness, or "hesed," has the power to restore everything we have lost. By looking at Boaz as a "kinsman redeemer," Pastor Lee paints a vivid picture of Jesus Christ, who willingly paid the ultimate price to bring us back into a relationship with the Father.You will learn that true joy is more than just a fleeting emotion; it is a constant awareness of God's grace and favor that remains steady regardless of your circumstances. Pastor Lee shares how this joy transformed Naomi's bitterness into praise and how it can do the same for you today. Discover why a life touched by God's presence results in a heart so grateful that it cannot help but worship with bold, "undignified" enthusiasm. This message is a call to recognize your own redemption and embrace the life-giving power that changes not just your world, but the generations to come.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary Entering His Presence: The Path to True Oneness explores how believers are being drawn into a deeper awareness of God's presence through prayer, worship, meditation on His Word, and continual communion with Him. Ron's experience in Israel highlights a lifestyle where prayer and Scripture are woven into everyday life, creating a constant focus on the Lord. The discussion reveals that God's ultimate purpose is not merely to bring His people into agreement with one another, but into oneness with Himself. As believers grow in their relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, true unity becomes a natural byproduct. The speakers emphasize that oneness is sustained by God's love, not human effort, and that the pathway into this reality is through the cross. The conversation concludes with the understanding that spiritual maturity is measured not by doctrine or religious performance, but by love, surrender, and participation in the life of Christ. Show Notes Living in Continual Awareness of God's Presence Ron shares how beginning everything with prayer continually brings his focus back to the Lord. He reflects on memorizing and meditating on Scripture throughout the day and how this practice cultivates a greater awareness of God's presence. A Living Expression of the Body of Christ Ron recounts his experience attending a Messianic Jewish Kehilah in Jerusalem, where worship, Scripture, and participation from people of all ages flowed together naturally. The gathering demonstrated a living picture of the Body of Christ functioning as every member supplied. Walking the Path God Has Given The speakers discuss the importance of trusting God's leading in uncertain times. Rather than being consumed by world events, believers are encouraged to remain faithful to the path the Lord has placed before them. Preparing for Eternal Fellowship The conversation highlights how God is preparing His people for eternity in His presence. Prayer, worship, and communion with Him are not temporary practices but part of the inheritance believers are growing into. Becoming One New Creation The discussion explores God's purpose of bringing together people from every background into one new creation in Christ. The focus is not on natural identity but on participation in His life. The Foundation of Oneness True unity is rooted in loving God and loving one another. Christ remains the center of all genuine relationships within the Body of Christ. God's Love as the Source of Unity The speakers emphasize that God's love—not human effort—is what enables believers to truly love one another and walk together in harmony. The Cross as the Pathway The cross remains the doorway into deeper fellowship with God. Through surrender and identification with Christ, believers are brought into greater unity with Him and with one another. Oneness as a Byproduct of Relationship The discussion concludes with the understanding that oneness cannot be achieved through striving. As believers pursue the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, unity naturally emerges as the fruit of that relationship. Key Quotes "Everything is started with prayer." "This was the congregation worshiping." "We just have to open our hearts and allow the Lord to really show us exactly what is taking place." "You're going to be in His presence for eternity. Get used to it, folks." "We're always growing. We're always changing. We're always becoming." "The main thing is our oneness." "Never leave the oneness." "Just because we're different doesn't mean that we aren't one." "The one ingredient that enables us to really come into this level of oneness is God's love." "There is no entering in except through the cross." "If your drive is into Them, then the oneness is a byproduct."

In Ezra chapter 6, we see the conclusion of this long journey of rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem. This leads to a time of dedication, being set apart as God's people, and worshipping Him in joyful celebration. Now, because of the salvation we have through Jesus, God's Presence resides with and in us. We are His Temple. May we be dedicated to Him - cleansed, set apart, and full of joy in His Presence!

Send us Fan MailIn this show, the boys discuss whether there is any significance in the statements on their deathbeds of atheists. Do they see something that they just didn't believe beforehand? Does it prove the afterlife?What are your thoughts on this subject? Do you agree or disagree?

During his agony, he said, “Until the last moments, I never believed in the presence of God or that of Hell. But now I truly feel their presence, as I stand on the brink of punishment.

St. John of the Cross (1542 - 1591) What St. Thomas Aquinas did for philosophy and systematic theology, St. John of the Cross did for mysticism. He brought mystical theology to a plateau, gleaning from the mystics who came before him, and making it accessible to those who want to follow in the contemplative life.

UnBecoming Part 2.3 - No Brakes. (May 13, 2026)In a haze of "what if" thoughts, you make your way across the parking lot to your car. A safe haven. You lock the door, depress the brake, and push the start button just to get the air flowing. You notice that despite the fearful thoughts, the Name is still flowing inside, like two competing radio stations. Your attention is torn, a war between the flesh and the spirit.You try to give your attention to the Name, to the Love, to His Presence, but you watch yourself reach for your phone. You are aware that this is not what you want to be doing, yet you watch as your fingers swipe to Safari, then to Google, and begin typing words related to the doctor's visit and potential findings.

LESSON 124Let Me Remember I Am One With God.Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light that blesses and that heals. At one with God and with the universe we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us.How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear, and death give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with us as we walk on.What we receive is our eternal gift to those who follow after, and to those who went before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave.Today we will not doubt His Love for us, nor question His protection and His care. No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His Thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only the loving and the lovable.We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the distressed, the lonely and afraid, who are restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the dead as well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first within ourselves.No miracle can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No thought of theirs but has the power to heal all forms of suffering in anyone, in times gone by and times as yet to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their thoughts are timeless, and apart from distance as apart from time.We join in this awareness as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we say as well that we are saved and healed; that we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted, and we now would give. For we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the world is freed. As we deny our separation from our Father, it is healed along with us.Peace be to you today. Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is our first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He will do the rest.Your benefit will not be less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind. This half an hour will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection of your own.Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you, to look upon yourself. When you are ready you will find it there, within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time was ever better spent.Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass, and understand the sinless light you see belongs to you; the loveliness you look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's eyes to see. And yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see.Add further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you today, by hourly repeating to yourself:Let me remember I am one with God,at one with all my brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

“Truth Must Reign in the Church: Parable of the Wedding Feast” Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬ What is a parable? The word "parable" comes from the Greek word "parabolē," which means "comparison" or "illustration." More specifically, a comparison of earthly with heavenly things. The parables told by Jesus are earthly stories with heavenly meanings. Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Point To Ponder #1: We cannot take part in the Kingdom of God on our own terms. We must be willing to surrender, repent, and change in humble obedience to God. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Point to Ponder #2: Do not seek satisfaction from earthly food that spoils. Seek it in the food (God’s Word of Truth) that endures to eternal life.

God’s nearness isn’t just a theological truth—it’s a personal experience that meets us exactly where we are. Deuteronomy 4:7 reminds us that we serve a God who draws close whenever we call on Him. In seasons of uncertainty, waiting, or emotional weight, His presence often becomes more meaningful than the answers we’re seeking. Prayer isn’t only about outcomes—it’s about connection. While we may come to God hoping for clarity or resolution, what He often gives first is Himself. In that nearness, we find peace, strength, and reassurance that we are not alone. Even when circumstances don’t immediately change, His presence steadies us and reminds us that He is already at work. Highlights God is near to us whenever we call on Him His presence often matters more than immediate answers Prayer is an invitation into relationship, not just requests God prepares and strengthens us before we face कठिन moments His nearness brings peace, comfort, and clarity Scripture reveals God’s compassionate and personal nature Have an idea for our newsletter?

Full Transcript Below: His Nearness Is What I Needed By Lauren Fletcher Bible Reading: “For what great nation has a god as near to them as the LORD our God is near to us whenever we call on him?” - Deuteronomy 4:7 I have recently been reading a book by Wendy Blight called Rest for Your Soul. In it, she talks about prayer. She describes a time when she was calling out to God amidst a struggle and didn’t hear from Him: “I had a choice to make. I could believe what I was studying, reading, and learning, or I could allow anger, fear, and doubt to continue ruling my soul. What I came to realize during that time (though it was a decade-long journey) was that God was with me. And over those years, though my circumstances didn’t always change, my courage to stand firm in them rose because I knew I was not alone” (Rest for Your Soul). A few pages later, Wendy writes, “Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He may not fix everything at that moment. In fact, He probably won’t. But it’s an invitation to come and sit with the only One who can give you rest in the middle of the mess” (Rest for Your Soul). What I started to wonder about prayer is if maybe it isn’t about getting an answer from God for a particular need, but about recognizing His Presence and experiencing Him, that prayer is about communication with God. I went through some mental health testing earlier this year. I had been awaiting the results, eager to get the treatment I needed. Yesterday morning, I woke up and read my Bible, as usual. What was different was how present God was with me. Every scripture I read, I felt like God was speaking directly to me, to my heart, like it was just for me. I could hear Him, feel His presence. I was touched and grateful. Later that day, I got part of the news I had been awaiting for weeks. I received my diagnosis. As I processed this, I realized that a reason God had been close that morning is that He knew what I would hear that day—He knew I would hear the results of my testing. He wanted me to know He was there. More than hearing a specific word, what I needed, what I cherished most, was God’s presence, to know He was with me. His nearness is what I needed. One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 34. In it, David says, “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed” (Psalm 34:18). God knows when we need Him, and He shows up. Intersecting Faith & Life: The Bible also shows that when we pray to the Lord, He draws near. In Deuteronomy, it says, “For what great nation has a god as near to them as the LORD our God is near to us whenever we call on him?” (Deuteronomy 4:7). The Psalmist also writes, “I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!” (Psalm 116:1-2). He listens to our prayers and draws near to us as we pray. He is a personal God. Just like I could feel His nearness as I read the scripture yesterday morning, I could also sense His heart—we can learn more about who He is in that place of nearness. Psalms 103 says, “The LORD is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Psalm 103:8). This description of God is found throughout the Bible. David also describes how God is as a Father: “The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust” (Psalm 103:13-14). Have you ever had a time when you felt God’s presence so close to you? Did you learn anything in that place of nearness about Him? Something I think about is when I got the initial call to do testing. God was in this. It felt like the answer to a prayer I hadn’t prayed—I had such peace about it. I also think about how the plans fell so perfectly into place for me to go out of town and do the testing. God had been in the whole process, and He continued to be close. Has there been a time in your life when you have walked through a difficult season but sensed the Lord’s Presence with you? What did that feel like? Was He steadying, comforting, or encouraging? In Psalms 34, David writes, “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the LORD comes to the rescue each time” (Psalm 34:19). We are righteous through Christ. He will come to help us every time Further Reading: Psalm 145:18 James 4:8 Jeremiah 29:13 Isaiah 7:14 Hebrews 13:5 Deuteronomy 31:8 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
