Paul Washer- The Presence of God

[@Madpencildust22]

I'll never forget one night I was crying and calling out, " Please just hold me God...hold me...hold me...hold me..." over and over while on my knees. I was a single mother with a newborn​ and 2yr old. Alone and abandoned like the rest of my family did to me. I never had anyone love me so I craved for physical touch like hugs and after I prayed my heart out to God. He held me....His presence or an angel I'm not sure but from God. I didn't see or hear anything but felt Him there holding me. My anxiety level was so bad with panick attacks. As soon as God held me, the attacks left. I never felt such peace and love. It was like a mother holding a baby, soothing and secure with love. I love God so much even more for that reason. I don't care what anyone tells me bc I know it was real. He's real and so loving.

[@Stella-xj8ez]

This will be my quest here on forth, I’ve wasted most of my youth on useless cravings of my flesh. This testimony has shook the very being of my existence.

[@michaelcabrera7420]

Stella so so happy to read this. I hope you have kept at it. This too is my goal, more of God, his nearness, his power and to stop living for lesser things

[@TerrenceTheodore]

@stella did he come?

[@TerrenceTheodore]

@@michaelcabrera7420 did you find him?

[@dqmc07]

Run after Him but Oftentimes we want the physical manifestation Of His Presence, but He wants us to walk by faith, it will take you further and keep you longer, Let Him Hold you, and wrap you in His Arms but never forget that Jesus said "I WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU", " and The Holy Spirit, The Comforter will be with you always".... Amen.

[@12centuries]

Very good word, brother! As powerful as His presence is, it's the _knowing,_ the _faith_ in believing that what He said is true.... He is with us even when we can't feel a single thing. That will carry us far, far, far into truth if we really lay a hold of it.

[@dqmc07]

@@12centuries Amen, yes indeed, on my way into work this morning I was thinking on the same thing, about how we feel God is so far away at times and then we must realize that those are all false, He will never leave us and Always Loves us, it’s by faith we receive His promises which are “NOW faith is” and Are Yes and Amen, So just tell those feelings your fake news 😁.

[@kozjlrjr]

I am a Pentecostal and have never heard a Baptist speak like this - the churches where I "grew up in the faith" had the presence of God. We would start the service and in a few minutes get into worship and time literally flew by, I would look at the clock and could not believe an hour and more went by - the church including me felt the presence of God.

[@KeithThompson52]

This is wonderful. Proverbs 8:17 came to mind;
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me."

[@null-ly7ry]

We watch many of the same videos

[@mmmulder]

His presence is overwhelming. Some times I'm not able to talk. Only tears. No greater love

[@michedaisy]

And I thought I was the only one who sought Him, and came up empty time after time after time after time……. This has been years of seeking, only to be discouraged. I’ve been through such dark nights of the soul only to have people tell me I’m probably not really saved. How many times I felt that way…. You know, unsaved even though Christ says that He will save all who call upon His name. I will continue to seek Him until the day I die.

[@aianmacpherson6190]

This is the most beautiful testimony I have ever heard. And this also challenges me to seek God seriously. Thank you for this video.

[@heistcreation2619]

Have you found HIM??????

[@patriciaking7892]

Very powerful testimony. I had to cry out the same way. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was spiritually sick. That's the worse feeling you can have. Not fully doing what God say will make you sicker beyond what the doctor can cure. The only medicine Is God's word and obedience. I feel uplifted just commenting about how real the true God in the heavens is. Holy is his name.

[@asinegaasinega]

Amen

[@facefact3737]

Patricia King I hope these next bibleverses Will help you like it still helps me. Romans 8 is also very encouraging. God bless you and hold you close to HIM in Jesus Christ.
These verses changed my life when I was very disobient and had a burn-out, panic attacks and was depressed:
In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.
Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
See: Isaiah 30
Ecclesiastes 7
Psalms 46, 147, 62
Matthew 11

[@helenetegner7048]

When god is in my presence.. its so big, too much.. i just cry... i can feel him right with me, cant exsplain it,.. when iam in prayer or talk to him, seek his presence...i just know his there, when i open my eyes my heart BURN IN FIRE! And i breath a little when iam done, his still there but its more free. Take my roof, money, whatever, i just need to be with god.

[@jacobhickman1005]

God does not enter your presence. If he did, you'd never see him again. You enter into His presence. Don't get it twisted.

[@realityjumper6081]

Sometimes men who, intellectually, are brilliant, even while being believers they may be reformed, know all this theology and doctrines... and sometimes we miss the point, and all we need to do is to go to a “desolate place,” and be alone with God as Christ, the Lord of Glory did, not seeking some ecstatic experience, no, not even seeking a feeling, but to truly be broken and shattered into a million pieces, so that God can put us back together and use us a vessels of righteousness.

[@ronaldgrantjr3873]

This video touched my heart. It reminded me of when I first felt the love of Jesus. I was in deep prayer a lot back then.

[@KeithThompson52]

My friend, if you are not STILL in deep prayer DAILY then I would ask you to please examine your faith that you may not perish.

[@luistrujillo2840]

Keith Thompson sir, this does not necessarily mean that he will "perish" it could simply but sadly mean that he and others in the same position even myself could have lost the beauty of Christ and the beauty of His presence, and if that's the case then let us search and find and dwell with God in such intimacy again.God bless you

[@Rawan-yh4yb]

it's been seven years since this was posted. and i just saw it now. it brought me to tears, like really. i'm desperately thirsty for God's presence, but i just don't know which step to take. Glory be to God for this wonderful message. God bless bro paul.

[@kraegermendoza5985]

I felt something similar to this recently, I was filled with so much anxiety for days, I couldn't handle it anymore. Then suddenly, I felt this kiss in my cheek, I felt that God kissed me in the cheek, and my anxiety was gone, I was just happy because of God, I felt him so much, and I want more of it!

[@ingrida3718]

This is actually me, praying for God to reveal himself to me, and answer to many questions i have. Yet, i don't give up. I stay where i am, seeking him through prayer and meditation. HE IS THE WORD. I know that one day, he will come to me, and answer to all my questions. And i have faith to say that this day will be very soon. 😊. May the Lord bless you, as you walk through the narrow way☝️.

[@philhoward490]

In 1994 I was shot in the face while working with street kids in Guatemala. For over twenty yrs I sank into the darkness of PTSD . Depressed, filled w rage and anxiety. Alcohol, bar room brawls, hatred, suicide attempts. I struggled in that darkness. It was getting worse over time. I began over and over over weeks shaking my fist at God and telling him, You made me. You have to fix me!! One day I cried out to him in humility. I sensed his overwhelming presence. I felt the full weight of the yrs of sin no longer blaming it on PTSD. I had hurt so many people but more than that I had sinned against him. The one who is perfect. I wept over my sin. I wept over the wasted years spent in darkness. I wept as I saw he was the only one who could rescue me. When I was done I KNEW I was free and forgiven. I knew I was his and I was healed. Since then I only want to live for him and love him. First he made me his own but he set me free also. No more symptoms of PTSD . By his grace I Will live for him till I see him face to face.

Yes this is the truest testimony EVER, I too have felt the Lord like that. The Word says seek and you will find GARENTEED to ALL who diligently seek.

And got sidetracked in the NAR for a little while.

Walk by faith not by sight... It is exciting to feel physical experiences with God... But it won't train us in godliness... Godliness is a tough training the Holy Spirit does within us... The just shall live by faith says the Bible... Jesus said, blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.. So follow the word of God... That's the bottom line... Everything has to be in line with the word of God... We walk by faith not by feelings...

Typical response of someone that's never experienced it.

[@40karu]

Yes but without any manifestation from God or even His presence, you will feel completely dry. Your strength relies on His presence.

[@danzrtube]

If you have really experienced God you would not respond like this in arrogance.. Those who experience God express godly character... That's why many Christians are after signs just like the pharisees demanded from Christ... What will you do when God remains silent?? Will you walk away?? There will be such moments in life to test our faith... Job didn't understand why all those calamities came into his life... But when he humbled himself before God he understood.... Stop being arrogant n self righteous... We stand by grace... We must consider others better than ourselves in love... And we must be rooted in faith.. Faith comes by hearing the word of God... Be rooted in the word of God... And we will surely experience God each day.... Signs n wonders are by-products of faith... It will accompany those who walk in faith...
