When the enemies of God, the Philistines, captured the Ark
of the Lord they thought they
could use it as a weapon against their
enemies.
Same idea.
So they brought it into their temple and set it next to
their god,
Dagon. The next day Dagon
had fallen on
his face before the Ark of the Lord.
Fast forward 2,000+ years and today believers in Jesus
carry
that very same Presence.
The Ark of the Lord held the Presence of Almighty God before
Jesus Christ had died on
the cross at Calvary.
Since that day forward, the Presence of God now dwells within
those who
ask him to. His Presence is also known
as Holy Spirit.
So the next time you go anywhere, if you are a believer
in
Jesus, remember you are carrying his Presence.
Stop for a minute and just think about that. That is a powerful thought
isn’t it?
One thing the Philistines got right is that the Presence of
God is a weapon. - just not the
type of weapon they were hoping for.
The Presence of God, Holy Spirit, is a spiritual
weapon. One
that tears down the strongholds
of the enemy, our adversary, the Devil and his demons.
Ask Holy Spirit to show you how you can partner with
him demonstrating the power and the Presence of God in
your life daily.
The rest of this story is found in 1 Samuel chapter 5.
