WHERE HIS PRESENCE IS

WHERE HIS PRESENCE IS The kingdom of God Begins where his presence is And his presence LIVES DEEP within our hearts And minds So if we are ACCEPTING Of God and Jesus His presence GOES wherever we go “Father-hallowed be your name Your Kingdom come” Luke 11:2 What a wonderful world This would be-IF- The people were ACCEPTING Of God and Jesus' teachings On love-forgiveness-and the beatitudes The GOOD NEWS has already Been delivered to this world Why can't we just believe it- ACCEPT it-and live it God's kingdom is WHERE his presence is It is potentially in you and me-if ACCEPT it and live it “The wise in heart Accepts commands But a chattering fool Comes to ruin” Proverbs 10:8 “The Lord Has heard my cry for MERCY The Lord ACCEPTS my prayer” Psalm 6:9 “Accept one another- Then just as Christ accepted you In order To BRING praise to God” Roman 15:7 The LORD LIVES- His presence is where He is ACCEPTED His presence lives- In our hearts and minds Where GOODNESS should live We should always RESPOND to the PRESENCE of God- And when we don't His kingdom Won't bear much fruit So we PRAY For the AWARENESS of God's KINGDOM In us- Then the presence of God That lives in us Can RIPEN in us And flow out of us And take fruit and God's PRESENCE to others “You make known to me The path of life You will FILL me With JOY in your presence With eternal pleasures At your right hand” Psalm 16:11 “You have made KNOWN To me The PATHS of life You fill me With JOY in your PRESENCE” Acts 2:28 Dear Lord-where your PRESENCE is- Where your Kingdom is- THERE I WILL BE THERE WE WILL BE HELP us always to be FAITHFUL servants Of your kingdom Robert P.
