The Sweetness of God

Hunger for God is a beautiful thing, it causes us to experience the sweetness of His presence. I'm convinced there is nothing more beautiful and wonderful than being completely broken under the presence of God. When we die to our selves and in return receive this fullness of joy in the presence of God amazing things happen.  I know it sounds kind of strange to say that being broken and dying to yourself feels good, and sometimes it doesn't, but experiencing the presence of God is so much more than a feeling. Experiencing His presence is a eternal joy. It's amazing how God's presence is so sweet as if it's honey or a fragrance but it is also so strong that it can leave me face down on my knees crying out to Him. I live for those moments. The moments where I am completely drowned in the presence of Jesus to the point where standing isn't even an option. Oh to experience God in such a powerful way! Getting into God's presence is almost as if He is kissing your heart (I know that sounds so weird but It's so true!) In His presence there is no room for our annoying selves and heavy burdens to keep our attention. There is only room for God, for the Holy Spirit to fall and fill. His presence is the greatest escape. In His presence it's like God is reaching down to my helpless self and saying "my child I love you so much! dance with me, relax, breathe, cry, worship, soak in my love for you." God's presence is everything. Tonight I found myself on my knees crying out to God for more and more of Him. That's where this whole post tonight has come from.  I'm so hungry, so thirsty, for more of Jesus. I was watching King Jesus Ministry tonight and the pastor brought something to my attention that I never realized. The Apostle Paul wrote 14 books in the bible, his life was full of miracles, signs and wonders. He brought the Gospel to people all over the nations, escaped death and so much more. Yet he says this "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it." -Philippians 3:12-13.  Paul, who did so much, and saw so much never settled. He didn't reach a point where he said "Well this is as good as God gets." No, he wanted more and more. He kept chasing after God. I want to be a God chaser, I want to be so hungry for God that I never settle but keep moving forward. I want to keep experiencing the fullness of God knowing that I have yet to experience half of who God is. There is so much of Him. I never want to to loose this wonder that I have of God. I'm hungry and I just want more of God and less of me. My prayer for this post is that you and I realize that the presence of God is powerful and life changing. That it is so sweet and humbling. It is the most beautiful, releasing, supernatural, healing, thing to ever exists. Let's hunger for God together. Let's be a generation that is so hungry for God. God thank you for Your presence.Thank you that we are so unworthy yet you allow us to experience the power and sweetness of You. Thank you for the Holy Spirit that fills us, leads us to you, and speaks words out of our mouths that are not of this world. If we are in pain and trials, sickness or hurt, God is there in the midst waiting for us to cry out to Him so that we can be filled. I know that I've written a lot of post on Fashioanbly Faithful about the presence of God, but it is something the Holy Spirit insist on and it can never be talked about enough! "You're presence is heaven to me."  Love you guys! I pray that you have a blessed week full of God's presence. He is everywhere.
