Revival: God In Our Midst
And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not
bring us up from here."
-Exodus 33:14-15
In what I have to say I may not be joined by any ground swell of public opinion, but I have a charge to make against the church. We are not consciously aware of God in our midst. We do not seem to sense the tragedy of having almost completely lost the awareness of His presence....
Revival and blessing come to the church when we stop looking at a picture of God and look at God Himself. Revival comes when, no longer satisfied just to know about a God in history, we meet the conditions of finding Him in living, personal experience....
Modern mankind can go everywhere, do everything and be completely curious about the universe. But only a rare person now and then is curious enough to want to know God. Men Who Met God, 121-122,127.
"Oh Lord, show me Your glory. I don't want to be satisfied with just
a second-hand picture of You; I want to sense Your living presence
with me today. I long to know You. Amen."
This Insight for Leaders devotional is also available in a print-friendly format here on the LMI web site.
TOZER PINGA friend and I were just talking about that very thing the other day.
God desires intimacy with us and we don’t have a clue how to to that, or rather experience that any more.
Christianity has become so performance oriented instead of relationship oriented.

The way things are looking right now I reckon God is going to cure that malady in a big way.
Great message for today thanks Sopater.
Intimate relationships must always be a two-way street. When we only “ask” and “exect”, and we don’t give what’s clearly asked of us, we don’t have a true, intimate relationship.
God is always faithful in His end of the relationship.
