Het hele belang van deze onderwijzing is not just information. Het hele belang van deze onderwijzing is niet zomaar informatie. Het is inzicht krijgen in hoe wij onze levens eigenlijk moeten gaan leiden. Gebaseerd op waar wij nu toegang tot hebben, geestelijk. The whole main thing about the message we have been starting last week, ending today, is not just about giving information, but it is about getting insight about how we must basically lead our lives because of what we now have access to in Christ. There are dingen waar we nu toegang tot hebben in Christus. Waar we in verbinding mee moeten gaan komen. Of waar we meer verbinding mee moeten gaan ontwikkelen. More moeten gaan dragen. And the main thing we are actually talking about, the hoofzakelijk waar we het over hebben, is de aanwezigheid van God, the presence of God. And we as priests, wise priests, zijn we geroepen. We are called to operate from the presence. We are geroepen to functioneren vanuit de aanwezigheid. It's a pattern that started in the Old Testament. It is a patron that vanuit the Oude Testament begonnen was. Where you see that the priests are working or are moving, living in the presence of God, doing what God expects them to do in the presence of God in the temple. That vanuit the Oud Testament zag je the patron that priests aan bepaalde functies hadden of bewogen vanuit de aanwezigheid van God of the tempel van God, waar de zijn aanwezigheid was. But the understanding is, maar het besef is dus dat onder de nieuwe covenant, onder de nieuwe verbond, priesthood has not been eliminated. Priesterschap is niet geannuleerd in het Nieuwe Verbond. Het heeft alleen maar een andere vorm gekregen. Het only got another form. Whereas priests in the Old Testament were serving physically in a physical temple. Terwijl under the Oude Verbond, priesters in the fysieke temple dingen moesten uitvoeren of dingen moesten doen in the fysieke temple. In the New Testament is there another manner, it's another way. And that's a geestelijk way. It's a spiritual way, right? But the whole connection, but the hele verbinding met the boodschap of the message was that. Or the focus, actually, as I should say, but the focus of the boodschap. The focus of the message was that under the new covenant, we must realize, we moeten beseffen that we are not called to be strangers from the presence. We zijn niet geroepen om framdelingen te zijn from the aanwezigheid van God. The presence of God essentially is our home. It is something that must not be unfamiliar to us. It must not iets unbekend zijn tot ons. It must be even the place where we live from. It must be the place zijn whereuwat wij live. We must remain connected to his presence. We can in verbinding method. It is our calling. It is our roeping. Our calling demands our rooping for us that we remain connected to the presence. And in the New Testament, it's even that we carry his presence. We drag his hand and we can be in contact with his presence. We can know his presence. We can't ken. We dragen it, we can kennen, and we can experience it. We can it error. The powerful thing, the machine inzicht about the situation now, over the situation in the new covenant, on the new verb, is that now the highest place, the hogstek with the highest manifestation of the presence, the hogstek met the hoogstead of God's aanwezigheid within the temple in the temple. The gordijn that eigenlijk toegang tot de heiligste plek, eigenlijk de allerheiligste plek van de tempel, waar Gods aanwezig het sterkst was. De gordijn dat de toegang tot die plek limiteerde, beperkte. Die gordijn was gescheurd. The curtain was torn. The curtain that was preventing access to the holies of holy was torn. Telling you and me, vertelling you and mine that now we have in Christ we all have access. For hang, so thank you. We all have access. So we can all enjoy and experience. We can all genieten and er the host dimensies of the aanwezigheid of God. We have access. We have to hang. Because our sins are forgiven. We are justified. We are rechtfred. We have become children of the living God. We are the kind of leave the heart geworden. So we can basically move in this presence. We can bewegen in zijn aanwezigheid. We can daar naartoe stoppen. Amen. And that's important to realize, that's belangs to beseffen. His presence is something beyond this realm. The aanwezigheid van God is a realite hoger than this fysieke realite. And as children of God, as kind of God, we kennen it, we know it. And we were even speaking about it. We hadden it over that. Even as we come to services, for example, or maybe pray in our homes, whether we bijvoorbe in the kerkdiensten zijn of in onze huizen in het midden zijn. We can actually experience the presence, we can deanwezigheid of God ervaren. It doesn't have to be in the temple, like the Old Testament. We must not per se in the temple zijn, net als in the Oude Testament. But by the Spirit of God or the geest of God, we can experience and be moved and bewogen worden, geraakt worden, gedragen worden, be touched, geraakt worden door aanwezigheid wherever we ook zijn in principe. But the whole point is, but the hele point is this How many Christians? How veel kinderen van God are actually are actually living with that presence? Live vanuit aanwezigheid. How many actually carry that presence? Hoeveel dragen daadwerkelijk ook die aanwezigheid or zijn intentioneel or intentional about that presence. Hoeveel zijn echt bewust intentionel van nee. De aanwezig van God is een deel van mijn leven. Dus ik zal de aanwezigheid altijd opzoeken in gebed. Ik zal er tijd voor maken in the kerk. My focus zou zijn om zijn aanwezigheid te ervaren ander in te komen. My focus in um I have made the presence of God something important. When I come to service, I'm not coming to just be there. I'm there to actually experience God and receive from Him as I am experiencing Him. Even in my life, in my life, I will make the presence of God a priority. I will make time in prayer, I will make time in the Word so that I can I can experience His presence and a weighted. Right? And and that is the whole thing I want us to understand. That's the only planner to bicep. Because when that presence, when you the awe is when that presence is lacking in the life of a child of God, you the only thing you have left, the only watch is regels, empty rules. Don't do this, don't do that, don't do this, don't do this. But the reality, the life, not the reality, that live, that actually now will be driving the person, the reality, the fear, that the person will and it. So what will happen? What will be at a certain point? They will be tired, so there's the moon. And their Christianity will be lacking, and her relation with the Hear will not be what it wants to say. But when we can become intentional about his presence in our life, but then we are intentional over zijn aanwezigheid in onze leven and inzien that we zijn geroepen om dat te dragen. We zijn geroepen om dat ervaring is, we zijn geroepen om daarin te live. We are called to live in that place. Now we can start to start to operate in the way that we are meant to. We can function in the manner where we are to function. Because as we are in his presence of weights, his love, his power, his peace, and freedom, it can now reach us. It can bereak. It can usually rak it. It can touch us. The more we spend time in his presence, the more we time spending in his weights, the more his power rises, and the more his craft in us open, the more his peace rises, and the more in us open, whom more liefde in ons thrown, the more his love starts to flow in us, whom more his words duidelijk wordt, the more even his word becomes clear. Because of his presence, right? So it is a message to drive us. It is a message to drive us to do more with his presence in our personal life. Because the priests were the ones that had access to the presence. Priesters had to hang to the aanwezigheid. And in the new covenant, we are called as priests, and we still, and now we still and then which tells us we have access there. And on the nieu verbond zijn we priesters genoemd. That ons vertelt wij hebben toegang to the aanwezigheid. We have access there. You understand? We have access to his presence. His presence that gives life, that gives power. The presence of God is just God, there's one God. But the question is how intentional ben jij over the aanwezigheid? How intentional are you concerning this presence, his presence? Do you want to remain close to him? How are you by him to be? Is it your heart verlangen to continually experience his presence? How is your heart concerning his spirit? Who is your heart tot zijn aanwezigheid? Or has your heart become cold? Of is your heart koud geworden tegenover zijn aanwezigheid? What he has actually given you access, where he toegang tot geeft. You can kennen and him in geest aanbidden, in geest kennen, in geest ervaren. That's the whole point, that's the hele punt. Dat we inzien that in Christus, in Christ, we have been brought close to God. We zijn weer hersteld in eenheid met God. We zijn herenigd. We waren ver weg verwijderd, maar nu zijn we weer naarbij gebracht. Alleen dat wij nu weer toegang hebben, just because we are now in access again. It doesn't mean that now automatically automatic now. Nee, wij moeten er achteraan gaan. We need to be after it. We need to position our heart. We moeten ons harten juist positionen voor zijn aanwezigheid. We moeten er tijd voor maken in onze life. We need to make time for God in our lives. So that as we pray to our bidden, the Spirit of God can move in our rooms. The weights of the Hear of God's Gees can be in onze kamers, in onze lives, in onze hearts, in our lives, in our hearts. So we are called, we zijn geroepen to his presence, to zijn aanwezigheid, om dat te dragen, to carry it, to experience it, om het te kennen, om het te ervaren. To actually carry it, um te dragen. Let even op je of je geomute wordt. Amen. Okay. Okay, cool. So again, nogmaals. It's something that we are called to experience and to carry on. We zijn geroepen om die aanwezigheid te dragen, te ervaren. Om vanuit te leven door zijn geest, by his spirit. Door zijn geest, hebben we toegang tot zijn aanwezigheid, zijn we kennen. And alles wat daarin zit. And everything that is in it that can come forth from his presence. And the more we spend time in the spirit, the more time we spend in zijn aanwezigheid, the more intimate we become with him, hoe meer intiem we met him. And the more his reality in us begint to leave, the more his reality starts to live in us. Let's let's go to some scripture, laten we door een paar geschrift heen gaan. Matthew 27, 51, Matthews 22, versus 1 of 51. Then behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split. This is the scripture we're talking about where it revealed that the veil, the forhang, it was torn. Why did the Bible mention it? Why was that genuemed? It had meaning, it had betekenis. We have access to him. We have to hang to the aanwezigheid of the head. We have access, we have to hang to his geest in Christus by his spirit in Christ. In Christus have wij toegang tot zijn aanwezigheid. We can experience his presence. It can be a reality in our life. It can a reality in our life if we are open to our open to Him. If we seek Him, also Him onzook. If we make room for Him in our lives, also the room to make for Him in our heart, on his aanwezigheid to er and to kennen. Matt John 4 22 24. Johannes 4, 20, verse 4 and 24. You worship what you do not know. We know what we worship for salvation is of the Jews. Verse 3 and 20, verse 23. But the hour is coming, that you come, and now is, and we is that Ur. So it's something about now. When the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father is seeking such to worship him. That the hear the warebidders will zien die Him in geest and in waarheid zullenbidden. So they will know him in spirit. They will kennen in the geest. Right? They will know his presence. They will zijn aanwezigheid kennen. They will be moved by his presence. They will bewolves zijn door zijn aanwezigheid. They will be that reality will not be unknown to them. The reality will not unbekend zijn to them. It will be where it will be how they operate, is who they functioner. It's part of who they are in their life. It is a deal of what they are in their living. And the interesting thing, and interesting is that for the father is seeking such to worship him. And the father is open to those sort of ambidders, of him to ambid. When the Spirit of God is moving in your life, in your heart. When that geists in your heart, and all of a sudden, no pains. The love of God becomes so real in your heart. The lie of God is in a key so real in your heart. The vreugden of hearing begin to manifest, the joy of the Lord starts to manifest. You start even saying the power of God, you can the crack van here, zelfs to erfad. That is a reality that you are meant to carry. That is a reality that you geroep bent om te dragen in your leven. And it is a reality that the Heer eigenlijk the father op zoek naar is that mensen vanuit die plek met him zullen bewegen. That people start to interact with him from that place. So the focus is not the physical reality anymore. There is the focus ligt niet meer op the physical reality. But the focus lies now in connecting with God in the spirit. But met God to verbind in the geest. And that is something you will actually experience. And we all have known, we can it all. But the question is, how committed are you to that reality? Who to be to the reality? That you can maybe just make time, that you can say, I just want to be in the presence of God. We're going to have it from the year. I'm just gonna pray. I can bed to just be in his prayer and begin in his aanwezigheid to sign. Allow his spirit to flow. Just to position myself, myself to position. What will he bring in my heart? What will I in my heart brengen? What will he speak to me? What will I to me spread? As I open myself to his presence, I will myself open to his aanwezigheid. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and the truth. And the interesting thing, the interessant is that when the spirit moves in your heart, when the Hall of Geest over you begin to bewegen, the aanwezigheid of God begin to manifest. You from your heart, from your heart, you start to appreciate him, begin to waarderen. You start to appreciate him, begin them to waarderen. Your heart starts to realize, what you can realize, how good he is, how good he is, how powerful is, how krachtig I is. Heb je ruimte gemaakt voor de aanwezigheid van God in jouw leven? Because it cannot just be going to service. Het kan niet alleen maar over naar dienst te gaan zijn. That's not how it works, hoe werkt het niet? Because God wants you to know him personally. God omdat je hem persoonlijk kent. And zijn aanwezigheid dus ook persoonlijk kent. And that you also know his presence personally. Because that is what now we have been given access to. Daar hebben we toegang tot gekregen by all the mouth. That we door zijn by his spirit, his presence, can be a reality in our life, a reality in onslaught. Something you can actually experience day to day. Let's continue. Hebrews 11 6, Hebrew, Aller says, But without faith, it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. Zonder geloof niet behagen. Want degene die naar God komen, moeten geloven dat hij er is en dat hij een beloner is van degene die hem ijverig of serieus aanzoeken. So God is a rewarder. God is a beloner van degenen die hem aanzoeken. When the people that seek him, the mensen die hem aanzoeken, the eyes of the Lord are on them, the ogen van His zijn op Him. And it is a desire that didn't In the New Testament, it is a desire you can see from the Old Testament. It is an verlangen in God that you can see from the Oude Testament. God was not interested in just people doing things. But God was looking for people that had a passion for him. God was not present op zoek naar mensen die gewoon letterlijk de regels zullen volgen. Het ging by God om meer dan simpelweg de regels volgen. Het ging om mensen die een heart for him hadden. Because the waarheid is, because the truth is, no one was able actually to fulfill that, to follow all the rules. Niemand could all the regels fulfill. We were not capable of doing that. However, there were people that we can see the Lord has still they had a special place in the heart of God. And where you could see that ondanks hun tekingen, zij hadden a speciale plek in God's heart. And the reason why, and the reden was whom they had a passion for him. The had a passie for him persoonlijk. So it wasn't just a religion. It was not a religion. They actually loved God. Zij hielden opre from the head. And it was duidelijk. It was clear in their personal lives. It was duidelijk in their persoonlijke levens. Which I mean, that bedoel that they were actually seeking God. And when I say seeking God, when I say God zoek, I mean that they were actually people like David, mentioned David. That he would say things like his desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord's for lang is on the schoonheid of the head to a schouw. What was he talking about? His experiences in praise and ervaring in the hair in gebad. Knowing God, God can in geest in the spirit. We cannot follow God without the passion for him, his aanwezigheid. So our hearts, onze heart, gericht zijn op him and his aanwezigheid. Our heart must be fixed on him and his presence. That we love to be in his presence. Because that is now how intimacy builds up. That is who the intimate begin open. Tomorrow you are in his presence. The day after you are in a weighted. And it's not just you're just doing to follow a like a routine. It is not a legal routine. Oh, pray for this, pray for that, pray for this, pray for this. You are in prayer, focused on knowing him, experiencing him, connecting with him. You are in gebed gericht on him to error, on him to kennen, um more in your heart met him verbally. You are seeking him. You bim aan het aanzoeken. And he is a rewarder of those that do that. He is a beloner of the game that does. So God is not like a machine or a robot. God is a robot of a machine where it's just okay. If I do this, God's gonna do that. When I did do, God that does. Like you are trying to um push the buttons of God, you probably fault in te drukken and then verwacht, does no. He is a person, he is a person. So when your heart genuinely appreciates him, when your heart oprecht hem waardeert, he will see that he will see. And when your heart is only looking for him because of what he can do for you, he also sees it. And when your heart alleen maar him aanzoekt, vanwege dat wat jij wil dat hij voor jou doet, ziet hij dat ook. But when he sees there is a genuine passion for him, when I see there is a oprechte passion for him, and a genuine appreciation for him, an oprechte waardering for him, and a genuine desire for him, and an oprechte verlangen for him to know him, his love, his power, his mind, his wisdom, his desires. That see I don't know. The problem will become that the problem will say when we are a church, when we are a kerk zijn that does not know the presence of God. Wanneer a kerk zijn of a groep mensen zijn dat Gods aanwezigheid eigenlijk niet kent. En eigenlijk geen hart hebben voor zijn aanwezigheid. That's gonna be het problematic. So, I want to go through some scriptures. Ik wil door een paar geschrift ingaan. I didn't put it in the presentation, maar you can write it down. Ik kan niet in prestatie, maar je kan het opschrijven. Just to show you the heart, the heart of people of God, concerning God, to give you insight, om je inzicht te geven in how you must guide your heart to be, om jou inzicht te geven om te begrijpen hoe jij richting kan geven, aan hoe je hart gevormd kan worden tegenover God, Zalm 27 verse 8, Zalm 27 vers 8. Laat me het gewoon opzoeken gelijk in de chat zetten, this is all to give us to trigger a fire in us for him. Het is om in bepaalde verlangen en vuur in ons aan te wakken voor zijn aanwezigheid. Because we have now access to the holies of holy. We hebben niet toegang geestelijk tot de heiligste allerheiligste plek. Of de allerheiligste heiligste der heiligste. Where now the Lord can start to reveal his heart to you. Waar God zijn heart kan uitstorten tot jou. Zijn liefde uit kan storten tot jou. Zijn visie uit kon storten tot jou. Zijn kracht kan uitstorten tot jou. Zijn gedachtegang kan uitstorten tot jou. Where the diepste plek van jouw wezen begint te verbinden met de deepste plek van God. Where the deepest place of your being can start to connect with the deepest place of God in the spirit, in the geest. Knowing him in spirit and in truth. And you him kent in geest and waarheid. Thank you. Thank you, Esther. And not only mentally. Really important to realize, heel belang to realise that je God niet alleen maar mentaal kent. You don't know God just mentally. God mentaal kent. Mentaal kent. You kent hem jullie mentaal, maar jouw Geest kent hem. Jouw Geest kan herkennen. De aanwezig van God is hier. De Heilige Geest beweegt. Ik merk op de vuur van de Heer. Ik merk op de liefde van de Heer. Ik merk op de vreugde van de Heer beweegt in mij. You understand? That's a different realm working in your life. Dat is een andere dimensie die in één keer in jouw leven werkt. Maar dat is de dimensie waar wij geroepen zijn om te dragen. Omdat wij toegang hebben tot zijn aanwezig. Wij zijn in zijn aanwezigheid gebracht in Christen. We zijn in Hem. We are in him actually. We zijn zelfs in Him. Geestelijk gezien, spiritually spoken. But have we allowed ourselves, have wij onszelf toegelaten to get lost in him waar wij van spreken verdwalt te raken in zijn realiteit in gebad in the geest. We're now our inner man, onze innerlijke person, like our inner man knows the love of God, can the lie of God. Like we carry it in our heart. We dragen it. We carry the presence, zijn aanwezigheid in ons, the gift for God, the fear of God, the leaves of God. It is something working in our system. It is iets that works in our system. So even when challenges arise, when there situaties opkomen door zijn aanwezigheid in ons, what buiten ons is, heeft geen kracht over ons. Want zoals de Bible laat zien, like as the Bible says, greater is he that is in me, the he that is in the world. What made the apostles say this? What zorged there for that the apostle said? He said it because he knew God in spirit and in truth. He had a relation with God wherein he had in gaze and in verse. And from that reality, from that, from that realization in his life, from the reality in his life, he spoke, he spoke to say, listen, greater is he that is in us. The one who in us went is machiner. There is a different reality he was carrying. He was aware of. But again, nogmaals, let's go to the scripture. Let's do the scripting that helps us understand how to shape our heart. Laten we at the word of God naar a scripten that we see who we onze heart, form. So that we positioned, so that we will be positioned to actually rise in his presence, experience his presence, know his presence, attract the manifestation of the Holy Ghost. That we the manifestation of the Christ aunt, gepositioned on their aanwezigheid to know and further in to come. We will not be Christians that don't know him in spirit and truth. What we need of God will be that he needs in the We will not just be Christian, we will not be Christians that just know him mentally. But our spirit has come to know, has come in contact with the living God. And our hearts know it. And our spirit testifies, and we're inner getured self. Our spirit testifies each in our spirit, onze geest. That know there is something beyond this realm walking with me. There is something beyond this realm working in my heart, working in me. You understand? Because why? Why? We have been brought near to him. We are now in his presence. We are dicht by him. Alright, let me go quick. Let me just now have a tight. Alright. Thank you, Esther, for the scripture. Thank you, Esther, for your scripture. So Psalm 27, verse 8. Psalm 17, verse 1. When you said, Seek my face, my heart said to you, your face, Lord, I will seek. When you said, Seek my face, my heart, this David, this David. You see, his heart seals and heart in Ocarazid. Do you see how his heart is configured? How his heart is working. So when the Lord invited David to hear David uitnote van David, I will you dichtbij hebben. I will that you in my mirror kent. I will that you deeper got met. When God started to speak to David to tell him, Come closer. I want you to know me more. I want to reveal myself more to you. I want you to go deeper with me. The response of David, the response of David was, Your face, Lord, I will seek. Here you are exalted on top. I will come. Under the word, I accept, I will go. Let's go. I'm coming. You see, these are the things, these are the things that allowed them these kinds of men and women of God. It made them stand out before God. It made them in Nederland, it made them stand out, it lets them opvallen for the hearing. Kijk who haar heart is. Do you understand? It reminds me of the prayer of David. I read him on the gebed from David that even when he messed up, I blundered, blundered the mark, blundered for the hearing. When he made blunders, then I blundered, blundered for the hearing. Take not thy Holy Spirit away from me. Neem niet, I said, create in me a new heart. And take not thy Holy Spirit away, neem uw geest niet van me. In other words, neem uw aanwezigheid niet van mij weg. Don't take your presence away from me. Because your presence has been strengthening me all the days of my life. Want uw aanwezigheid heeft mij versterked all the dagen van my life. It has brought me light in darkness, it has my licht gebracht in duistens. Yea, though I walk to the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Ook alloop door the valley des doods, exalted face, want u bent met mij. Uw aanwezigheid, your presence. Do you understand? Uw aanwezigheid. So we cannot treat the presence of God like a normal thing. When you said, seek my face, my heart said to your face, Lord, I will seek Psalm 42 1 to 2, Psalm 42 from 1 tot 2. As the deer pants voor de water brooks, so pans my soul for you, O God. Zo als de head doorsteg is naar water, zo verlangt mijn ziel naar u. Psalm 42, 1 verse 2, Zalm 42 vers 1 tot 2. It gives you insight in how the heart of David is, and it teaches us how we should allow our heart to be, and it laat us in who David's heart was, and it onderwijst ons gelijk hoe wij onze heart moeten laten ontwikkelen. Because this is the heart that draws God. This is the heart that God aantrekt. So in your prayer, when you just tijd maakt in gebed. It is met that heart that you beweegt in Gibet. Now God too. So when you are in your prayer time, this is the heart with which you now move in prayer. And the presence of God will manifest, and the aanwezigheid van you will manifest. This is the heart waarme you self in the dienste. You're there because of God. Ik zeg Zaam Zaam 36. O God, you are my God. Early will I seek you, my zool thirst for you, my flesh longs for you. In a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I've looked for you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory. O Heer, my God, vroeg zal ik u aanzoeken. My ziel dorst naar u, mijn vlees verlangt naar u in een droog en dortig land waar geen water is. Zo heb ik voor u gezocht in uw huis om uw kracht and your glory to see. Can you see the kind of relationship David has with God? You see the soort relatie that David heeft met God. It's full of fire, it's full of passion, it's full of love, that's full of passion, that's full lie. There is a fire, there is a verlangen in him than God. You see, and those things don't go unnoticed before God, and the dingen for the head. Because what does the Bible say? What does the Bible say? Seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all of your heart. And what says the Bible? So again, nogmaals. We cannot be Christians that do not know the presence of God. We can need Christians that we ken. In our personal life, this is how the heart must be. In our persoonlijk leven, this is the heart that we eigenlijk ontwikkelen. This is why we have a prayer life. Daarom hebben we een gebed leven. It is because of our relationship with God. That is vanwege onze relatie met the Hearing. There's all kinds of prayer we can pray. There's allerlize soorten gebeden that we can bidden. But there is one type of prayer we cannot ignore. But each word gebeurd can we need negative, and it is the prayer for God Himself. Seeking the Lord. Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you. So you must understand and begripe just this. God expects you to seek him. God verwacht that you zijn aanwezigheid zoekt. That your heart is in, I verwacht it. Actually, he's waiting for I wacht it up. The moment your heart comes into this and you start to move with it in prayer, there will be a response from God. So intimacy can build, intimate can open, and freedschap, true friendship with the Lord, true relationship with God, and relation with the Head. When you pray, you sense the Spirit of God empowering. You can open when the Geist versterken is. You can open whether the Geist van God is. Open there is a real relationship in the spirit. You can sense it when the spirit of God is strengthening you. You can sense it in you when the spirit of God is even empowering you. You can sense it when the spirit of God is encouraging you. You can sense it when the spirit of God is correcting you. Because why? You have built that relationship for the Spirit of God to move in your life like that. That I open your life, have you opgebouwd. You have it opgebouwd. You have built it up. Because God has given you access. God heeft the toegang to give. God heeft He has opened that door for you to actually have that kind of fellowship. That you zoom a relatie met them have. Er zijn twee dieptes die met elkaar aan het communiceren zijn, two depths are communicating the depths in you, and the depths in God. This is David's description, this is David's beschrijving. Deep collif onto deep, at the noise of thy water spouts, all thy waves and billows are gone over. This is an experience. You know, sometimes, even in prayer, there can be manifestations of the Holy Ghost, there can manifest plaatsvinden van geese where you literally sense electricity or fire or a sensation, bepaalde sensatie, vuur of electricite soms, of bepaalde warmte over your lichaam, of zelfs over your heart, of that soort dingen. This is David's own experience, and it's a level of it's it's God's own way of like spending time. It's God's manier metal spending. He just his power, his fire, his love is flowing in you. You're in prayer, you're in worship, you're in onbidding, you bent in gebed, and you feel the fear of God, the freedom of God. You begin to sing, you begin to spread, I get and David David, like jouw dieptes, like a bepaal freul from inside from binnen, a joy from inside happening because of what? But why? The presence. This is meant to be a reality in all our lives. If we can make room for it, also ruimte for kunnen maken. Deep color unto deep, at the noise of thy words, all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime. And in the night time, his song shall be with me. And gedurende the nacht, the lied van de Heer blijft met mij. Er is een lied dat hij beschrijft blijft zingen in zijn geest. Do you understand? So there is a real experience, there is a ervaring in God. Door zijn aanwezigheid. Door zijn geest. Waar we geroepen zijn om in te ontwikkelen. De realiteit van God, de aanwezig van God. Daar zijn we geroepen om in te leven. Deel van ons leven te zijn. Deel van ons leven te maken. Maybe one more scripture than we were nog één geschikt, maar misschien al gaan we afronden. Oh ja, dat is een interesting one. Dit is een interessante scriptur, een hele interessante geschrift. Zaam 84 vers 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. Gezegerd is de persoon wiens kracht van de Heer is. Wiens hart op een pelgrim gezet is.

Psalm 7.

Psalm 84 from ver 5. So the point is whose heart is set on a pilgrimage. So it's I'm talking about how is your heart set? Who is the setting of your heart? So a pilgrim, a pilgrimage is usually when you go from here to maybe Jerusalem or in Islam, even they go to Mecca, it's their pilgrim, it's in pilgrim. So they go to the holy land. But the revelation I'm getting from them, the open body is that nu, as Christ reveals those kisses open by it, and Israel is a wonderful place in as like I mean to visit and see all those places. The highest pilgrimage is not a physical location. The highest pilgrimage is the presence of God. De hoogste pelgrim is geestelijk. Het is de aanwezigheid van de Heer. Waar iemands hart ingericht is van mijn verlangen om in de aanwezig van de Heer te zijn, zijn aanwezig te kennen, zijn aanwezig te ervaren. Wanneer een hart die instelling heeft, when the heart has that configuration, there is, you see again the scriptures, seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all of your heart. Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you. Come dicht by me and come dicht by you. As you might zoom with your heart, you shall find the Lord whilst he might be found. Zoek the heat where I can work. Just do a study about the scriptures that speak about seek the Lord, and you will see, as well in zone, how serious it actually is. But the point is this, and this I'm rounding. The whole point of what I'm speaking, the hele point we is to now position ourselves to be to be people that are carrying his presence and living from his presence. That the reality of his presence is a reality in our life. That the aanwezigheid van the year is a reality in our liver. It's that deal is in our liver. The presence of God is not something unfamiliar. The aanwezigheid of the head is not iets unbekend. The aanwezigheid of the geest of God, the beweging of the geace of God, the move of the spirit is not something unknown or something unfamiliar. No, it's a part of who we are, it's part of our lives. And we understand how to maintain it. We begripen who we that moeten behouden in our lives. We understand that how our heart needs to be. We begripen who unsere heart ingesteld moet zijn. And we understand the desire the Lord has even to reveal himself onto us. And we begrijpen that volunteer in God is om die manier bekend te maken aan ons. Therefore, our prayer life, ons gebedsleven, takes on a whole different dimension. Ons gebedsleven ontvangs of like it is a hele nieuwe dimension in ons gebedsleven. Where it's not just about what we want him to do for us, where it not simple gaat on what we him will laten doen for us in our liver, but a prayer life, a gebeds leave that gericht is open, on him, just like Christ, that is Christmas. The reason why Christ was away so many times. What would the prayers of Jesus be when he would be on the mountain? Who zou het gebeds leven and the gebetspunten van Jezus uitzien terwijl hij op de berg was of in the wilderness was? It will be prayers that will gebeten zijn zoals Father, strengthen me, versterk me. Continue to lead, blijf my leiden. Help me see what I need to do, help me begripe what I mean. Where do I go? Why would I? What city do I go? What do you want me to do there? What would I do? Right? It has a different form. And even on a deeper level, open deeper niveau. An appreciation for the father, and waarin for the father. And one of the places you actually see that Jesus was carrying the presence of God. And even one of the pleasure where you just can see that Jesus is the onweighed, is when he was on the cross without the Christ, and all of a sudden, opeing said they Father, Father, why have you verlaten? God, my father, my father, why have you forsaken me? There was a presence that was of the father in the life of Jesus that got lifted on the cross. It was on a weighted that Christmas bekend was in his hele life, but open upgreven. Because now he was being punished as a sinner on our behalf. And that God could not be close as he was. And the father could not be dead by him as he was. All I'm trying to say again, no more to say is this be a person passionate for the presence of God. There is a desire for you always, as all the longer in you, to know the presence of God. To experience the Spirit of God, their father, the geast of God their Father, to experience his love, his power, his peace, on the craft and lie to their father. And you are making time for it in your life. And you make the tijd for it in your leave. In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, whenever your schedule allows, who your schema took toelauds, you make time in the weights of the Head to Zijn. Because these are the worshippers God is looking for. Those are the worship in spirit and in truth. It got further than the gebouw. It goes beyond the building. It goes beyond the mountain. It got further than the physieke. There is a spiritual relationship. And this is how we need to understand. We must operate as priests. We are called to remain in the presence of God. And this is what we need to begin over on. So I want you just to pray to begin to bidden that the Holy Ghost can lead your lead to build this more in your life, on this more open bow in your life. That your heart for his presence shall increase. Begin in gebad with the Heilige Geist, you help him in your life. The Spirit of God helps you to build this in your life, on this open bouw in your life. You will know God. You will God kennen in geest and in spirit and in truth. All of us, the entire church, the healing current. We will know the Lord in spirit and in truth. We will let the Hear kennen in geest and in verse. Neither will it be a superficial thing, not will it an opper flagging each. A love for God genuinely. You love it when you sense the Holy Ghost is speaking and moving. You hout ervan when you beseft. Heilige geest is in you on the bewegen, you on the raken, you on the leiden, you can corrigere, your ogen on the open, the liefde on the uitstorten. You love to experience the presence of God. You hout ervan on the aanwezigheid of the Father. And as you continue to go there, to where you come na the aanwezigheid, na the aanwezigheid, there is an intimacy that is building between you and God. And there is an intimate that on the opbouw is tussen. And there is a relation persoonly that geformed tussen yang and God. There is a relationship that is being shaped between you and God. And as a result of that, now God can start to take you to higher places. And that Godina hogere overwinning bringing. He can take you to higher victories. He can release more power in your life because you have a connection. Pray that this builds up more. Pray that your heart will be like that heart of David, that your heart never is the heart of David's word. There is in everything we're doing, also, there is a passion for God. Father, we give all the praise. We appreciate you and we love you. In all our weaknesses and our mistakes, one thing we pray you see: our passion for you, our desire for you. And we pray, Holy Ghost, that you help us build our relationship with you on a personal level. We pray that you help lead us more to live from your presence, to know your presence, and to go deeper in your presence. We pray, Holy Ghost, anything locking us in our heart, in our mind, or in our life, Lord God, you shall not have power over our
