THE DOMINION OF GOD’S PRESENCE

*1 John 4:4, Romans 8:31-32, Isaiah 54:17 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. *What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? .. *No weapon… formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

In 1Samuel 5:1-4, the Philistines captured the Ark of God, which was a symbol of God’s presence in the Old Testament and placed it in their temple, ‘by the side’ of their own god, Dagon. When they came to check their temple the next morning, they found Dagon faced down on the floor in front of the Ark of God. Although they were shocked, they picked Dagon up and placed it again ‘beside’ the ark of God. The next morning, the Philistines found Dagon on the floor again, faced down in front of God’s Ark and this time, Dagon’s head and both hands were cut off from its body.

If a god could physically fall and bow down before a physical symbol of God’s presence in the Old Testament, which power do you think will be able to stand before you, who is a real carrier of God in the New Testament? The things that happened in the Old Testament merely foreshadow in a little measure, the great reality that God has planned for you and me, who are in Christ.

Greater is He who lives in you than every power out there in the world. Remembering this always can be one of your greatest secrets for victory in life. No matter what is out there in the world, the Greater One permanently resides on the inside of you. Remain conscious of the fact that whenever you enter a space, God’s life transforming presence enters because you carry Him on the inside of you. David defeated Goliath because he was confident that the Greater One was on his side. The presence of God in David’s life also drove out the evil spirit that was troubling King Saul as David played his harp, (1Sam.16:23). By the greater position and life of God that you have in Christ, you will have greater testimonies than David had.

Faith Declaration:
I am a carrier of God’s presence. By the virtue of God’s presence in me, no evil power can stand or overcome me.
