DEFINING “THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD"

When discussing any topic, it is wise to define the terms one is using so that authentic communication takes place, and a rational, and coherent discussion ensues. As I have previously stated in another article, “Worship. Prayer & Music”, biblically speaking, singing songs is not essentially “worship” – it is a form of prayer. And I defined “worship” as a lifestyle of surrender and service. In this present article, which is also an excerpt from “The Manifested Presence of God”, we will investigate how Scripture speaks of the concept of “presence”, as well as how the terms “manifested”, and “appearance”, and “glory” relate to that.
