“JEHOVAH SHAMMA”
READ: Exodus 33:15-16
“…and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.” – Ezekiel 48:35
Few people know God as Jehovah Shammah (The Lord is there). Few people know His presence. To experience the presence of the Lord is a great and important thing.
Many may know God as Jehovah Jireh or El Shaddai. Through the teaching on prosperity the church has opened herself up to accept God as a provider, Jehovah Jireh. In recent years, the church of God has experienced God as Jehovah Jireh, the provider of wealth and material blessings. You must also grow up and begin to know God as someone who is really present in a demonstrable way.
Moses would not go one step forward without the guarantee of the presence of the Lord. You must become like Moses who looked for guarantees and assurances of the presence of the Lord. The presence of the Lord is often the only sign you can look out for to know when someone is walking with God.
The presence of the Holy Spirit must be your source of assurance. This is one of the most important functions of the Holy Spirit – to assure you. Your convictions must be strengthened by the presence of God.
Over and over, the Holy Sprit is called an earnest pledge or a guarantee. He guarantees that you are on the right way by His presence. You must always look for the presence of the Holy Spirit.
