John Cameron - I Stand in the Presence of God

Luke 1:13-20
We live in a day and age where there are many things that come against us. However, just like the seven sons of Sceva we might go after strongholds thinking we have the authority only to realise that we don't. The only way to become a generation that walks in releasing the power of God is to remember the following:

1. We can't get authority from God if we don't have intimacy with God.

2. We need a generation who know how to linger in the presence of God.3. Vision will come when we stand in the presence of God. Our identity and our authority should be the result of our intimacy with the Lord whereas our doubts and fears will be a manifestation of our distance from Him. So wherever you are today on your journey, press into His presence and ask the Lord to teach you how to spend time with Him!Application:

Do you find yourself rushing out of the presence of God? When was the last time you sat and lingered in His presence?Prayer:
Father, teach me how to sit with you. I long to be beside you and I'm sorry for the letting life's distractions get in the way of intimacy with you. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear your still small voice, and help me draw closer to you daily!
