Dwell in His Presence

A friend recently confirmed with a word God laid on her heart to give to me at an unexpected time, however it was an answer to my prayer as well as for the following day.

For the past year I believed and knew in my heart whom my husband to be is, though it seemed he was still asleep. Suppose at some point, we get impatient as things does not always work according our plan. Dwelling in His presence has become my main focus and it is not always about what we want but what He desires are for us.

As I am spending more time with Him, things are happening. For a few months I have been praying that someone will confirm that the man God has send in my life, is my husband to be. I also prayed that God will be the chemistry and the connection between us, and that we will look at each other with the eyes of God's spirit and not of the flesh.

About two weeks ago, I applied for jobs and got two offers, one as Lingerie Designer in Sydney and the other one in Durban...but luckily His timing was perfect. The previous day, my best friend and her husband, also our cell leaders from Church confirmed what I have know for a while is from God. So, I turned the offers down. Spending more and more time in His presence, has capture my heart in such a remarkable way...as well as taught me patience.
Also the beauty of this journey is that this lovely man, is gradually waking up, and seeing God in me....and it is about God's glory -dwelling with Him.

I decided to create this group, let us Dwell in His Presence more...so that our husbands will have to seek God to find our hearts...

Any one is welcome to join me on Monday evenings, to Dwell in His presence - a date with God.

Dwelling in the secret place - i article I found and would love to share it.
Having found the place of rest, we then need to dwell in that secret place, under the shadow of the Almighty. The secret place - an intimate unrestrained communion - a place where you can make known your heart, with its needs and wishes, its thoughts and feelings, its doubts and anxieties, its sorrows and its joys, to God as to a loving, perfect friend. A place of refuge from the storms of the world where we can cleave, cling to him. This almighty Friend has admitted me, you, his chosen ones, to his secret place. It's almost too wonderful to be true.
He desires it because he wants to commune with us, to reveal his mind to us, his plans, his ways and his thoughts. He wants us to know him. It's not his fault we don't know him - he's provided the way - we often don't take it.
This dwelling in God's secret place - we must make it our rest, not just coming as guests to a hotel, but as inhabitants to their own dwellings - like coming home. The Hebrew word for "shall abide" signifies "he shall pass the night" - denotes security and rest in times of darkness, temptations and crises.
We don't all dwell in the most holy place - we run to it at times and enjoy occasional approaches, but do we dwell? Do we habitually reside in his presence? If we dwell with him, we shall remain under his care - he shields us. We are safe with him - his outstretched wings of power and love cover us. This protection is ours if we abide constantly in him. The Almighty himself is where his shadow is - this suggests such a closeness - an inseparableness - you can't be closer.
He is our refuge - we can fly to him. He is our fortress - the Lord of Hosts stands between us and our enemies - we're secure, unafraid - the Lord is an impregnable fortress.
How do we do it - come to dwell in this secret place and rest there? We make it ours by faith, "I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress." I cast myself on him, throw myself on him, pitch myself, make him my dwelling place, my habitation. When we are dwelling in this way, no harm can befall us.
In times of trial and temptation, difficulties and problems, we're wise if we fly into the secret place of God - to rest in the shadow of the Almighty. My strength is to sit still there. When we're weak and struggling, striving against sin and sorrow, hurting from the attacks of man, he is our safe, quiet resting place.
If we can reach that place we are blessed indeed because having reached it, no harm will befall us. If you reach that place, the holy of holies, all you can do is worship Jesus - nothing else matters - everything else falls away - problems disappear. As we come into his presence, his radiance, everything else becomes unimportant, caught up with Jesus into a place where all we want to do is worship him. Very often we never get to that place - when we do, we don't want to leave it - it's a wrench to come away.
Jesus says, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Finally
Where are you on the journey into God's presence? What obstacles do you still need to remove? With clean hands and a pure heart, you can dwell in his presence and find rest for your soul.
