Knowledge and Emptiness

"You can have all your doctrines right, but still not have the presence of God." Leonard Ravenhill

Our sin is the only thing that keeps God's presence from flooding our lives. To experience God's presence is to know him. And Christ died for us while we were still in sin proving his love and ways are better. It's a Spirit thing. Jesus could literally burst through the heavens into your presence and you would not know him because of an unrepentant heart. You would experience all of his physical glory and beauty and he would not know you either. And there are those now who have repented of their sins, even those of today and yesterday, who have never seen Jesus, but know him and love him by faith...who have his presence. 

Today is a day to know God and receive his presence! Getting right with God is always a now invitation.  It's what life is about. 

...and beware of your enemy for he stops at nothing to keep you in sin, to tempt you to sin and to stop you from repenting. 

Repentance toward Christ is the game changer. 

“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.”

Acts 3:19-20 NLT
