How to Stay in the Presence of God

Last Updated: July 28, 2015

This article discusses one way of staying on the presence of God. It is written specifically for Christians.

Steps

1
Learn about the joy of being in God's presence. Achieve this through spending time with others; when God's children are united, it is a blessing!
- Read Psalm 133:1-3 - Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Herman, descending upon the mountain of Zion; for there the Lord commanded a blessing- life forevermore.
2
Reflect on how amazing this Psalm about unity is. Who would not want a blessing from God for enjoying unity? Keep united in fellowship and in worship that focuses on God.

3
Realize that the counsel of the Lord stands forever. This means that no government or people is above the Lord, and if anyone makes laws against Gods laws those laws will be brought to nothing by the Lord! Only God's law will stand.
- Read Psalm 33:10-11 - The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the planes of the people of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.
4
Read the following scripture and study it: Psalm 139: 1-24 verses 1. - O lord, you have searched me and known me. This is a beautiful passage of how God knows each of His children and how the knowledge of this is too hard for human comprehension.^{[citation needed]} God’s perfect knowledge of mankind means that He knows us personally!
5
Have faith. People fail, they get tired, and they give up on you when you need them without ever showing remorse when they disappoint you. On the other hand, God is faithful and ever aware of what we need, always willing and able to help us no matter what the need.
- Read Psalm 146:1-10 verses 3-5 - does not put your trust in princes, nor in the sons of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Question

When I say come up higher in the Lord in the realm, what does that mean and how do I do it? What am I supposed to do?

Community Answer

Have faith in your creator, and be able to trust in Him past the point of your will. Often times we think something we asked him won't come true, or maybe he is just ignoring us. The fact of the matter is he always has the best for us in mind and when you pray to God and put something in his hands, it is just like cashing a check. If you have faith in him and put your life and whatever challenge standing before you in his hands it is guaranteed to work out- maybe not at your pace or in the way you imagined, but it will be okay.
Question

Is it important to say you are saved although you did not repent?

Community Answer

If you do not repent of your sins (which means confess them to the Lord, ask for His forgiveness, and turn away), then you are not saved.
Question

How do I stay Holy to resist the devil?

James 4:7. New International Version. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
