Soaking in His Presence

We had an awesome praise and worship yesterday in our church. The spirit of God was moving even before we started singing praises to Him. Being in the music team and being the worship leader, it is really an effective way that we should be soaking in His presence first before we will usher His presence to the congregation.

Being in the presence of the Lord is considered the single most important part of our lives. While in a sense, it is always with us and we cannot live without it, we find ourselves hungering for it more and more.

Practicing His presence through worship is one of the most valuable things we can do. God has promised that as we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us and we will experience His presence in ever increasing measures.The Holy Spirit will speak things to our heart in times of soaking as it also saturate, infuse and drench ourselves in the presence of God as we praise and worship Him.


Being Slain in the Spirit

We had a powerful and awesome night of revival which was held at our church last Friday. We call this event as “Jam for Jesus” and it is intended for the youth specially those who are unbelievers or those who did not accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The power of God manifest through this people and the great revival happened during that night.

I myself was so also slain by the holy spirit. It is such a great feeling when you feel that God is moving and you could feel His presence. Being slain in the Spirit is simply when the presence and power of God comes directly at you causing you to either fall forward or backward. This power can either come directly through the hands of someone operating under the Lord’s anointing at any given moment, or directly at you by God Himself, such as when you see people falling to the ground while just sitting in their seats with no one laying a hand on them.

This manifestation of God’s power can either come directly at you very lightly where you just start to lose your balance and then proceed to fall. Or it can come at you very strongly to the point where you cannot resist it and you are literally blown to the ground. When this happens, it looks like a cannonball is hitting someone right in the stomach and they fall backwards with a fair amount of force. God decides how strong He will manifest this kind of power when He does decide to manifest it on someone. Through this, we can receive visions, instructions, or advice from the Lord on a situation that He may want us to deal with it.
