 Okay, I hope you had a good break it was some stretches. Okay, let's start off So we we saw we saw that This was the ending that one Amos's scripture and James quoting it In the book of Acts chapter 15 He's just talking about the spiritual fulfillment of it that the how that the church should be a place Like David's tabernacle Where the Gentiles would come and you know be saved Etc. Okay The house of worship prayer and worship let's continue reading a few more scriptures Isaiah 56 verse 6 and 7 it says all the sons of the foreigner who joined themselves to the Lord, okay? All the sons of the foreigner who are they referring to? Yes Who joined themselves to the Lord to serve him and to love the name of the Lord to be his servants? Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath and holds fast my covenant even them. I will bring to my holy mountain Even them once again, who is it them? Thank you very much. I will bring to my holy mountain, which is God's holy mountain Zion oh there's someone's on a roll today What'd you have for what did you mix in your coffee or something? Even then I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar for my house Shall be called a house of prayer for all nations and suddenly we Remember Jesus who quoted this verse Isn't Matthew 21 12 to 14 then Jesus went into the temple of God and Drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple and overturned the tables of the money changes and the seats of those who sold Doves and He said to them it is written my house shall be called a house of prayer But you have made it a den of thieves Right. So what Jesus was quoting us from Isaiah 56. Okay, let's remember that and I tried to remember I Have very bad memory and remembering scriptures. I only remember which side of the page it was on my Bible right a left top bottom Which color so if I don't have my Bible, I feel very paralyzed is like, oh lord Whatever to search, you know So, huh? Okay, so just coming back to the point God intends for his people to be a house of prayer for all nations, right? We are to be engaged in a prayer for the Nations we have to be any you need to highlight or underline that remember that line very much Very important. We have to be engaged in prayer for the Nations now what some and oh boy, I don't know some controversial But then we take one verse that says pray for the peace of Israel and we will only play for pray for Israel I'm not saying I was like, uh, what about the innocence on the other side? Let's not pray for them. Okay Francis is right now in the war zone, huh? His mind is there Right, so you see Jesus quotes that from Isaiah 56 when he walked and he overdones the table He set everything in order and then he went on doing his work. What does he do it about healing people? That's what he did immediately, isn't it? So he set the house in order And then he went about doing the work of the father Okay, so another perspective of the The house being the house of prayer the house of God being the house of prayer is from a perspective of the throne room Let's go to the throne room guys Visit to the throne room Now As a throne room was also in in modern days or in ancient culture or civilizations was also known as the room of the Presence or the room of the face Why because so any room? Okay Technically any room that the king was present can be a throne room Now you take a palace have you been to my so palace? Okay, I've been there when I was I don't know. I think third standard or something I've never visited again, but I know it's huge and there are many rooms, right? Of the many rooms in a palace there is one room that is set aside called the throne room and It is that room where in that room where this was one throne one big throne that is set and there you have You know all the small thrones of ministers and all the politicians sitting is it and it is in the throne room You will get the audience with the king Right that you go to visit the king with your problems or issues or quarries, right? If you know minister from one district would come and say okay Lord this district is you know facing this blah blah blah and all of that So it is in the throne room where you get an audience with the king It is in the throne room where all the political decisions are made. They're going to attack. We're not going to attack What do you have to say about this? Right It's it is not an ordinary room not everybody would have access to the throne room You cannot access the throne room just like that It's like accessing the office of the president is nobody can just walk in Right Isaiah was known as the prophet of the prophets He's not just a major prophet. He was he had access to the The throne room. Yeah, because he was related In the year King Uzair died Okay, so and when Isaiah uses the language that When the year the King Uzair died, I saw the Lord lifted high And seated on the throne and the train of his robe was filling the temple Where one one version says the train of his robe was filling It's not filled what there are versions that says it filled the temple, but I like the one that says filling present continuous Right, so why is he using that language is because that you know the train of the robe in general You know the Kings used to wear the longer the length The greater the reign of the King everything the longer the length of the robe Displayed the greatness of the reign of a king and so Isaiah was taking that imagery because he had access to the throne room of a king And he's seen this earthly King with the longer rope and then he displayed in use of that language to communicate about God and say The train of his robe was filling the temple. That means in other words, you're saying there is no end for his reign Okay, amen. Yeah. Yeah So throne room is not an ordinary room when we talk about the throne room of God It's the most happy to say the least right And how is it connected? We'll just look at this verse. I love this verse Psalm 141 verse 2 says let my prayer be set before you as incense See the connection of prayer and incense Right, let my prayer be before you as incense and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice It's beautiful Okay, so we all know the story what happens a couple of famous chapters in the book of Revelation is chapter 4 and chapter 5 Chapter 1 is also awesome Chapter from chapter 2 to chapter 3 is all about seven churches the letters to the seven churches and then Something happens to John At once he was in the spirit It starts up by saying right at once he was in the spirit. He was taken up To the throne room of God and we know about he starts defining a describing. Sorry not defining about the throne room of God surrounded by the sea of glass And you know, this is a rainbow or that encircled his throne. Come on You can't just make that up right And I often say this You would we get the word imagination from the word Imagine and we get the word imagine from the word image It's from the same root word. We get the word magic Right magi magi from the east came to visit Jesus Same word magi magic image imagine imagination Right, so why do we imagine? Something when we have a certain image You watched conjuring in the middle of the night There was some horror movie. You have all those images in your head Then you walk into a dark room and you begin to imagine. Why because you have those images in your head Isn't it and so similarly Bible is filled with images of Jesus for us And so when John starts to describe Jesus his his hair was as white as wool his eyes was a fire I'm like, yeah, and then his there's a throw, you know, rainbow encircled the throne What? you know is And the colors that we have not been exposed to you know is on display It's a throne throne room like no other It's a throne room like no other come on. This is a throne room of God This is the throne room of God And we go on to see about the living creatures full of eyes Full of eyes again just talks about constant revelation They are in a place of constant revelation right eyes talks about, you know, you're able to see isn't it? That means you're capturing moments and So There was non-stop revelation of who God is and So the only response is that they worship and they and then then later the elders join them They cast their golden crowns before the king and What do they say? So let's read from revelation 5 8 to 10 It says now when he had taken a scroll the four living creatures and the 24 elders I fell down before the lamp and each having a harp harp represents worship and golden bowls of full of incense Now we don't really know how many bowls because there's a plural there. It's not just saying bowl Bolts Right small Okay Full of incense which are the prayers of the saints So there's worship and there's prayer Happening in the throne room being offered before him and as they sang and they sang a new song You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals For you were slain and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people in nation And have made us kings and priests to our God and we shall reign on the earth Okay, so you are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Why? Why was he the only one who was worthy to take the scroll and open its seals? What he did on the cross, okay, so how many of you know something about the scroll? What's a scroll? Okay, forget who gave it to who? But how did it look like how would you open it? Scroll isn't it like two staff and there's a paper their parchment paper is written with the thing A mediator minister ambassador would carry that But the ambassador was not Was not worthy to open the scroll It was not allowed. It had a seal Right. So if I if I write a scroll and address it to you and I tell you Anand I want you to give the scroll to Francis. You're only a messenger And if you opened it, you'll be killed. I mean you're breaking the law And so opening of this breaking the seal and opening the scroll was a very big deal again the imagery you back then now I think in the 70s or something They found one of the scrolls that belonged to Julia Caesar and said archaeologists and Nobody was worthy enough to open the scroll. Why because only the descendants of Caesar could do that. I Don't know if they found it or not Are you with me? So you You had to be worthy or inherit something if If I was related to Julia Caesar, that means I'm inheriting So I am worthy to open that scroll because I come from the line and I inherited Okay, so that language is used here and we were often a sinners We were dead in our sin We were orphaned we were separated from his presence. Are you with me? Okay? it's But Jesus Inherited us. He adopted us Brought us into his family by what he did on The cross by redeeming us You know, there are a lot of gods here on earth people worship small lowercase g on But none of them have the title called redeemer only Jesus can be called as a redeemer You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals for you were slain and Have redeemed us to God by your blood The scroll contained all our names Right. Why is John weeping? In the same chapter, you know, I'm weeping because if there was no one found worthy to open the scroll That means there was no one there to inherit us If no, if there is no one to inherit us the result of that is death For eternity separated from his presence We were on our way to hell Until Jesus came to stop where you're going Are you with me? Like you've seen children and parents, you know, and Tyler's running another distance. Stop where you're going, you know And we were headed we were we were headed to being Dead for eternity, but Jesus came and he saved us And because of what he did Okay, let's continue reading that Then another angel having a golden sensor came and stood at the altar He was given much incense that he should offer it with prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar Which was before the throne And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints ascended before God from the angels hands angels hand So coming back to the tabernacle of Moses in the Holy of Holies There was the Ark of the Covenant. Yes or no, which represented God's throne here on earth Yeah, so just before the Ark of the Covenant on the other side of the veil was The altar of incense the closest thing that to the throne of God was the altar of incense That's the closest thing that was to him and We know that the tabernacle of Moses the Hebrew says was a shadow What's the real thing Okay, and here we see it's being just come from before his throne is this altar of incense Where prayers was offered are you guys with me? Okay, just stay with me guys will be done soon Let's continue reading some of scriptures revelation 511 to 12. I'm just reading it from the notes PDF bottom of page 92 going to page 93 Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne the living creatures and the elders and The number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands of thousands 10,000 was the biggest number in those days, so they didn't understand millions or Infinity for that matter right saying with a loud voice. This is very important worthy is the lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing So how many? seven right power Riches wisdom strength honor glory and I'm praise I'm blessing. Yeah, whichever it doesn't just different versions have different names, but Now for him to come to get The title say the king of all kings Why are they using these seven things is a seven again symbolizes the thing of his completion of perfect number and it is He had to be perfect and all of this Again to be worthy and because he is worthy they tell him You know and any king Would be associated with this thing if you're a king of a nation The chant would be you know, it is something similar to this. Are you with me? Are you with me? Okay. Now one more thing about the tabernacle of Moses It had gates that there were four colors that was repeated and Anybody say scarlet red white Purple purple and blue four colors that was you know repeated Scarlet represented the blood of Jesus white represented the perfection the sinless man Blue represented the son of God. So everything any so everything that is connected with the divinity or Divine thing the color used is blue and This you use a lot of scriptures for that Red is the blood of Jesus and and purple is the royal color of royalty, right? so Matthew portrays Jesus as the king of the Jews Right and Which which gospel? Luke portrays Jesus as the friend of sinners that means The one the son who came to dive the scarlet red It marked portrays Jesus as a perfect and a sinless lamb of God and John portrays Jesus as a son of God So you have four different colors there You have four different colors there Each gospel portraying that isn't it, but you know what is interesting? Does anybody color here? Painting does anybody do any of it? Okay, I don't but I know a little bit about colors One thing is that you never get the color purple separately. You can't buy it in any paint box that you pack You've gone by You will not find the color purple The way you get the color purple is that you have to mix the red white you ready blue Yeah Well, exactly royalty comes from that thing the color of the Kings comes from mixing the blood the perfect and the son of God and Then because of what he did and the life that he lived and who he is in his identity Combine that worthy It's the king That's what all these seven things have to say power riches honor glory and and Here's the thing All of heaven recognizes who he is his blood was not for them Angels recognize who he is and they sing worthy But the blood was not for the angels his blood was for who? For us, how much more should we recognize that? How much more should we live our life in reverence as a church as a body of Christ? How much more should we honor him? Right and be a house of prayer and worship and everything that we've learned so far Right, and so we are learning about and there are different movements of prayer and worship God has been raising us and it started in 400 AD by Alexander Akimates So he was one of the monks Who lived between who gathered about 300 and 400 monks in Constantinople and just reading from him notes Where he established a movement called loss Perennis, which means continual prayer Pray without ceasing 24 hours, you know the house of prayer and all of that was started way back I'm just going through some of the movements of the houses of prayer moments of prayer and worship So among by Alexander Akimates 727 the Moravians the hundred year praying prayer meeting and subsequent missions And a lot more and then you also have in the modern day, which is the I hop International house of prayer not international house of pancakes Okay Because there there's a place called I hop in the US Which means international house of pancakes because it's quite a change But then this is one prayer movement, which was started in 1999 by a person called Mike Bickel And so from September of 1999 till date There's prayer and worship happening non-stop 24 hours a day from September 19th to 1999 And I have personally been blessed by that ministry by their worship It's incredible some of the songs and all all they do is just open up their Bible and sing songs That's all they do and they intercede They first look at themselves as intercessors and then as worship leaders or musician You're following right? So day and night Isaiah 62 verse 6 and 7 says I have set watchmen on your walls or Jerusalem They shall never hold their peace day or night You you who make mention of the Lord not keep silent and Give him no rest till he establishes until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth In other words keep on praying Look 18 verse 1 and verse 7 then he spoke to parable spoke a parable to them that men always ought to pray and not lose heart and Shall God not avenge his own elect who cry out day and night to him though he bears long with them Some 134 was one two three Behold bless the Lord all you servants of the Lord who by night stand in the house of the Lord So some 134 if you look at it in your Bible it will have a title called the song of ascent Look at it or it will be songs of songs of ascent a song of a sense, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so and that would have started from some 120 Go back to some hundred and twenty. Okay. Now From some hundred and twenty that's where it actually starts and the last song of ascent is some hundred and thirty four Now why do these Psalms come under the category of songs of ascent is now a send who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? All right So that means the temple that was pitched on the mountain the hill as People were climbing up the hill. They would sing these songs That's why it's called as a songs of ascent as they were ascending up the hill. They would sing these songs I'm sure there were more More than just the 14 But that's the the last of some of the song of ascent it says What those who watch by night in the house of the Lord? So it's again emphasizing constantly that there was day and night Worship and praise that was happening and The importance of it in the house of the Lord, which is the local church in our context now Are you with me right? We don't just have to do it for the sake of saying it's like, oh, wow You know, well the church does day and night 24 hours Like hey We all ought to do that or live a life like that. Are you with me? You know, there was in 2010 On to this actually is January of 2011 Some of you might have heard of this ministry called face-to-face foundation January of 2011 The first week of the new year we started off by having seven days of praise and worship word and intercession I have never done that. Yeah, which is which is called sore So in January of 2011, we did it for seven days May we did it for two weeks and October November. We did it for three weeks in Syaks um So I remember when we first when In jam when we first started it we were inviting people, you know churches and putting it in the christian cafes Uh, you know, I think in a week there are about 168 hours. I think that's what it was mentioned And here's the thing the comment that I very often heard back then was like, hey, what are you guys trying to do? Are you trying to break a record or make a world record or something? um, but you see that was the question that was posted Across when we wanted to do something like that But the question was wrong What should have been the question is is jesus worthy Is jesus worthy of that one week praise and worship day and night? Yes or no That's all end of the discussions. Let's move on Right, okay, so Some practical ways on how we can establish this uh, a local church as a house of prayer and worship is each people as leaders as ministers as your church lead pastor, whatever each People about it the importance of it. What we are doing is biblical Not not trying to break any records here Jesus is worthy teach them of that teach them of the worthiness of who he is And then develop a strategy right have an administrative system plan Okay roster Okay, uh plan accordingly to the geographical location where god has placed you If you're going to intercede if you're in the land of banglore or whatever, whichever city you come from What are the areas that you need to pray for that? If there's corruption pray for that corruption, right if banglore is known as the suicide capital pray against the spirit of suicide Pub capital, whatever it is, right? You intercede. So what are you doing? You're not just randomly coming into this thing and Blabbering something you have a strategy Why because we are going up against the principalities of the powers of darkness that means you're waiting wall And to wage a war you need to have a plan and a strategy It goes with me Right. Um, so there are some practical tips mentioning your notes. Please go through that when you can Let's go on to chapter 14 um The local church the temple of god The temple of god The place where god dwells the place where he lives So we know this verse first quarantines chapter three verse 16 to 17 Do you not know that you are the temple of god and the spirit of god dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of god god will destroy him for the temple of god is holy, which temple you are So most of the times we take that verse and use it for individual Which is fine Right. I am the temple of the living god. You are the temple of the living god which is partially true but what is Paul is writing to the church of corrent. He's addressing a local community He's not just saying okay you anand from the city of corrent. Don't you know that you are the temple of god? He's writing to all of us Don't you know when you say, you know, don't you know that you are the temple of the living god? So he's addressing to the Community and is encouraging them to live a life of holiness Isn't it why because the temple of god is where he dwells And again going back to the point where I started off the first session is that God is looking for a people where he can Some 22 verse 3 it says The holy one of hyzrael who dwells Among the praises of his people in the middle of his praises But you would have heard me say the statement in the praise and worship course that you want to find where god is praise Praises god's address. Okay, someone remember something Are you with me? Okay, so we I mean in the last class I we spoke about the tabernacle of moses We see that god giving the plan in exodus 25 And then again from the life of david we looked at solomon's temple that solomon built his temple, uh, Which later tabernacle of david which later becomes The temple of solomon, okay And so in each of this place From the tabernacle of moses and to the temple of solomon that he built We see that god's glory being manifested The glory and one of the simple definitions of the glory of god is the manifest presence of god right The glory of god is the Manifest presence of god. So when you think about the Presence of god, there are two variations to it What's the first one anyone? Omnipresent Manifest presence of god. So what is omnipresent? Is present everywhere, right? So what is that everywhere? Every everywhere on the earth. Okay. Yeah, simple, right? Every everywhere. Okay. Everywhere means everywhere. Okay Yeah So that's what omnipresent is, right that he's present Everywhere. Yeah Sorry Welcome to that. Okay so so see It's funny because um In our human brains in our wisdom We can only fathom him According to our understanding So when we say that he's present everywhere, that means we geographically think that he's present not southeast west all at once He's present right now in banglore. He's present in the united states of america. He's present in australia He's present in arctic. He's present in Antarctica. He's present everywhere. Isn't it? Psalm 139 starts off by saying where can I run from your presence? Oh lord If I run to the east you are there if I run to the west you are there if I make my Bed in the depths of the ocean you are there if I go up to the heavens you are there Where can I go from your presence? We are absolutely right 50 percent when we say that he is present everywhere Because our brain can't think outside of time because we live in time. We limit him to our geographical space Our space is time and space and mass. Isn't it science? Isn't it? Yes or no okay But god his kingdom He's outside of time He's outside of time. So when we say that he's present everywhere and because he is not Limited to our time and space because he is not limited by the time zone He's outside of it. That means he's present everywhere Yes, but he's also present in your past. He's present in our present. He's present in our future Why Jesus is the only one who can go to your past and heal your past wound touch your heart over there Make it whole make restore you while you are in the present Yes or no And when you're going through a hard phase in life in the present He's the only one who can go into your future and bring a word of knowledge or bring a word of encouragement in your presence And say hey, I know you're going through this right now in the present But this is what I have for you in store Why because he's already there He is not limited. He's present everywhere. Isn't it? um Yeah, I mean think about all the miracles that he did uh Creating the 5000 we think yeah, okay Bread multiplied all of that if you if you're done baking, you know that baking the bread takes time With the flour kneaded rest it related to rise and then bake and then after one some four five hours You have one loaf of bread which can finish in five minutes Isn't it but Or even turning water into wine Turning the water into wine if you know anything about farming first you need to buy a land Plow the land put some seeds on wait for the grape trees to grow grape trees or whatever You know your plants Okay To grow and then for the grapes to come and then harvest the grapes and then Stamp it crush it and then take the juice from it and then ferment it for it to become wine Let's say the process takes a year The time Make wine is a year Just on the water and going yeah Because in my realm I already you know I can do everything just in blink of an eye Why because I'm present everywhere Are you with me? That's the beauty of it. He's present everywhere and then there are times he decides to show up Manifest presence of his glory All right, let me step into the scene now guys You know as moses walked into the temple the glory of the lord came down as the pillar Time and time again. We see that in the old in the old testament you read about it. And so it was visible Right, that's one of the senses of us as humans. Isn't it now in the now It's not just the only way when he decides to manifest If you can hear his voice he's manifesting if you can see him and heal someone he's what is he doing He's manifesting If he's releasing a prophetic song what's happening Yeah So he can function and release or manifest through any of our senses Are you with me? Right? See, uh, I hear people say this all the time. I I I can't hear god But I feel his peace. I or I feel his presence That is him talking I will says he is the word Isn't it And so if you're feeling the word that means he's speaking Right his presence is his word. He's speaking to you like that. Okay, so And so again god would be encouraged to be a people who would be a carrier of his presence where who his god's Manifest glory would be would be on display on a regular basis See in the again going back to the book of exodus and you read through that story It says the enemy all the other nations that surrounded israel knew that the lord was with them because they could all see that pillar they could all see The pillar of cloud by day and and the pillar of fire by night They had heard of what this god of israel had done to egyptians Why was jericho afraid is because they had heard that they drowned the he this god drowned the armies of egypt egypt was A powerful the powerful army on earth that at that time And this god defeated that army And so the point is again, I'm reminded of the psalm that says he's put a new song in my mouth A hymn of praise to our god Many will see and fear and put their trust in him So he manifests himself through a prophetic song many will See and fear and then put their trust in him Okay, all right. Let's move on God desires of people who will manifest his glory Let's quickly wrap it up numbers 14 was 20 and 21 Numbers chapter 14 was 20 in the wilderness the book of in the wilderness chapter 14 was 2021. It says Every time I hear the book of numbers, right, I don't mean to be uh, I'm on record also But yeah, the cheesy is uh, it is this christian pickup lines I I don't I don't mean to be unholy guys those online, but you know, I was reading through the book of numbers I missed your number Okay, this is funny. Okay Then the lord said I have pardoned according to your word But truly as I live all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the lord And the people among who god dwells some 132 was 13 to 18 Let's read that some 132 was 13 to 18 for the lord has chosen zion. He has desired it for his dwelling place This is my resting place forever Here I will well for I have desired it Zion in the old testament is what the local church in the new testament is his chosen people. That's what zion Simply means and he's desiring it. I want to dwell. I want to be among you I will abundantly Bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation And her saints shall shout a lot for joy there. I will make the horn of david grove I will prepare a lamp for my anointed his enemies. I will clothe with shame, but upon himself Crown shall flourish So there's promises after promises when god chooses to dwell among his people What are the things that he said? I will abundantly bless her provision. There's supernatural provision when he's there This prosperity I will satisfy her poor with bread Verse 16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation and her saints shall shout aloud for joy I will also clothe her priests with salvation. So there is salvation which includes Salvation. What's the Hebrew word for? I forget So so and that word is packed. I'm telling you guys. Rinnin has a is had something else, you know, like a like a magical portion today You know, it's like she's I don't know watch it in the pink cup over there, but You know magic portion to remember everything today, you know so So so it's packed with forgiveness right with healing with deliverance with victory and everything, isn't it? So he's saying that when I am there you will experience salvation in its fullness You will experience supernatural provision Right verse 17 there I will make the horn of david grow So horn represented strength Okay, now again if you again look at the altars that was built in the tabernacle of moses and the four corners There were four horns Okay, the strength displayed four gospels right Strength, okay. Go into Judea Samaria ends of the earth and Okay, let's move on I will make the horn of david grow. I will prepare a lamp for my anointed Yeah I Will prepare a lamp for my anointed lamp or lamp stand was a place of revelation or illumination Right, it would help you to Okay, that the people when he's among us there would be constant revelation of who he is Are you all with me? Right, finally verse 18 says his enemies I will clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown shall flourish Etc. So Seven I will promises In that some what some did we just read some hundred and thirty two Who was 13 to between 13 and 18? There are seven promises that I will I will I will If I'm if if I make you my dwelling place and if you make me I will be among you and when I'm there with you. These are all the things that you will experience Right some 91 says I have made the most high My dwelling place I will dwell under the shadow of his wings It's not just a safe place when he is there or something beautiful happens. So Let's go through the chapter when you can is this beautiful that we as a local church We were called to be his dwelling place that he would choose to dwell among us And when he does Everyone around us will know that god is with us That his presence is tangible that his presence is manifesting in this place You and I need to thrive for that Right the presence is Is the fundamental thing that you and I were created for is the foundation of human connection When we talk about presence Are you all with me? Right presence is the foundation of human connection Why we emphasize on in-person class so that we can have this connection, right? I can look at you You can look at me Okay, god bless you guys online as well, but you know get the point He's only present you know But that's the beauty of presence isn't it beyond all connections Why do we put when you're meeting someone in? Very important that you put your phone on flight mode or you turn it upside down and keep it away You're simply saying that a thousand people can access me right now But I'm putting all aside so that I can meet with you You have my undivided attention. I'm present not just physically but mentally I'm present and god wants to be present. He just he just doesn't want us to have this idea Yeah Right and so Let's pray that we would be people like moses who would pursue his presence people like david Who would go after his presence so that you and I will be his dwelling place here on earth All right Fantastic. Well, thank you for joining. God bless you. Have a wonderful day
