No matter how impenetrable the darkness 41 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: may seem, it will always yield to light. In the 42 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: same likeness, God's presence will always provide rest no matter 43 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 3: your situation, because wherever God's presence is manifested, the atmosphere changes. 44 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 3: For in God's presence.

Do not forget in this world your life 51 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 3: will be ruled by one of two spiritual forces, God's 52 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 3: or the devils. This is why you must constantly cultivate 53 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 3: a heavenly relationship. For if you abandon God and choose 54 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: to live in sin, you will no longer be under 55 00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: his spiritual covering. And without God's spiritual covering, you become susceptible. 56 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: Easy pray for the devil. Now take a moment and 57 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 3: think on which spiritual force has been governing your life. 58 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: If you feel that God is far, stop and think 59 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 3: of what is preventing you from connecting with him. Confess 60 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: your sins to the Holy Spirit, share your weariness and 61 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: weaknesses with him. Now give thanks to all the times 62 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: God has manifested his presence in your life. Thank God 63 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 3: for his holy Spirit who walks beside you. Thank him 64 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: for the peace and rest his presence brings.

Ask God to fill 72 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: you with his presence, to pour out his Holy Spirit 73 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: upon you. Ask Jesus to remove all impediment standing in 74 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: the way of your fellowship with him. Ask him to 75 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,119 Speaker 3: remove your heart of stone and give you a heart 76 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: of flesh.
