What’s it like to be in the presence of Jesus? Have you ever been there? I have and you can too? Are you interested? Perhaps it just might change your life in a good way! Take my hand, let’s go… IN HIS PRESENCE!
There is no place like His presence. When you are there nothing else seems to exist. Your body and mind are at total peace. Sometimes your body tingles and your strength fades away. Sometimes the atmosphere is so heavy you can’t even stand or sit. There is an awe that envelopes you as you realize where you are. Nothing is hidden and yet you are totally covered. His love permeates your whole being and you know you are loved, He doesn’t even have to say a word. You can stay as long as you want. Sometimes you feel like you could even fly and your troubles are long gone.
How do you get there? You have to start at the beginning. Check out my earlier post called, “Who do you trust?“. This will save the space of having to retype the post here. Once you have committed your life to the Lord, you can begin your journey of walking close to Him. It’s all about trust as I shared in the post. You have to be willing to lay down everything to get closer to Him. You can’t lie to Him, He knows everything and every thought you have. It is simple surrender.
Do you like to worship and praise Him? There is something about true worship from your heart that draws you close to Him. You can feel His presence. How deep do you want to go? Ezekiel 47 talks about a river and Ezekiel walking into it. The further he walked, the deeper it got until he could no longer touch the bottom. The river began to carry him. Do you want the river of life to carry you. Can you trust Him to carry you? Your level in His presence depends on your level of trust in Him. As you read the story in Ezekiel, notice He starts on the shore. It was a journey. His level of trust grew in time as he continued to walk and trust.
As you walk, you will find areas of doubt, areas of fear, areas where you judged others or Him, areas of sin in your life, areas of hurt or wounds in your heart. These things can hinder you from going deeper, but as you deal with them by His grace and love, you can continue on. He already knows anyway. He longs for you to know Him. He longs for you to trust Him. He longs to share His heart with you. He wants you to know how much He loves you. He would like to be your friend.
You are only limited by how far you are willing to go, my friend. His invitation stands. Once you experience His love, you will want more. Your life will change. It is good. I’ve been there and I keep going back. I look forward to the day when I can be with Him in eternity, the day when I will be able to see clearly and not be hindered by this earthly body. I know He is greater than what I have seen, and I have seen a lot. I know that day will come, but for now I must continue here and complete my destiny. I hope that this will help you. I hope that you will let the river carry you.
When things come against you, put on some praise or worship music and sing to Him. Pray and ask Him what to do. Remember the eagle and how it rises above its problems on earth. It lets the winds carry it high. Let His Spirit carry you as you go deeper. Worship Him. In everything, let Him have the glory. Ask Him to take you on this journey and He will. He will show you how to get there.

Janiece and I travel and minister as doors open for us to go. We are now in the process of writing her story into a movie. We share His love to those who haven’t heard of their Father’s love for them and also minister in song. Please use our contact page to contact us for more info. I have written 4 books now to help encourage people and to help them get to know Him. They are: “Destiny Path Of Life: The Journey Begins,” “Sentenced To Death, Destined For Life – The Janiece Turner-Hartmann Story – Tell My People I Love Them!“, “Islands In The Sea – The Day The King Walks In!“ Book 1, and “Islands In The Sea: The Lion Roars” Book 2. I also have recorded some of my music for encouragement. Listen to some of these songs on our site, YouTube in video, and they are also available to purchase and download here. I have some artwork that we have for wallpapers and prints. If you need help or prayer, please write to us and let us know. The proceeds from all of our products help us to minister to those in need.
Our main ministry site is ShaftOfLight.com, my books, art, music site and blog is DestinyPathOfLife.com, Janiece’s site, for her biography is SentencedToDeathDestinedForLife.com, and our online store is BeneficialZone.com.
