Dwelling in HIS Presence - Abiding in HIS Shadow

Psalm 91:1 - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

This is an awesome verse of scripture because it comes with the expectant hope of great peace, deliverance and hope. Each time I hear this verse or read it, I am filled with great hope because there is much to understand here about the shadow of God.

The word shadow as translated here from the original Hebrew is the word tsel meaning shade, shadow and protection. If we become continual seekers of His Presence and become Presence Dwellers - we have the assurance of His continued protection. In His protection there is no fear of what the enemy can do - there is no concern over the retaliation of the enemy because we are dwelling in God and abiding in His mighty shadow.

In this hour saints of God - it is important to become presence dwellers and shadow abiders. It is important to stay in the face of God because it is there that we will receive the strength boldness and courage to confront the evils of our day. We are surrounded by a cloud of wickedness and perversion; perversion that threatens the very fiber of Christianity because that perversion is being given a voice in our churches, our choirs, our pulpits and our lives. The enemy has deceived many and the only way to escape that deception is to become a presence dweller and shadow abider. It is in the presence of God truth is revealed, demons exposed and unclean behavior illuminated.

Isaiah 6:1 - 5: In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon athrone, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Aboveit stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he coveredhis face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he didfly.And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Thensaid I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips,and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyeshave seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

In becoming one that actively seeks out the presence of the Lord and worships authentically before His throne, you receive revelation and truth. All things unlike God are exposed and He then purges, cleanses and equips us to go forward. Being a shadow dweller means facing the truth about who you really are and it means you have submitted to the process of cleansing purging and preparation.

In abiding in His shadow you have agreed to the terms of dwelling in His presence. Dwelling in His presence means abandoning all of what you know and have learned in your flesh for the truth of His Kingdom, His Mind and His Heart.

I encourage you to become a presence dweller and a shadow abider because there we are completely covered. There we are taught the meaning of true love. True love is sacrifice and in Him we learn to abandon flesh for His glory. In His presence/shadow there is power for us to walk in the miracles of Christ promised by our Lord Jesus... There is so much in His presence. I encourage you to seek hard after His presence. Determine in your heart to be one that dwells in His presence and abides contently in His shadow.

Because abiding in His shadow means that you become comfortable with the thought that no one may ever know your name but they know the GLORY of God being illuminated through your lifestyle. Being in shadow means you become comfortable with the thought of showing love to strangers and those who reject the ways of God for the purpose of showing the enemy what it means to walk in the Shadow of God.

I encourage you this day to become a presence dweller and shadow abider because in doing so you will find there is nothing like it. There is so much there, so much power, abundance, peace and strength. Get there because you are going to need His Presence and His Shadow with you always in these wicked, perverted and evil times.
