God has endowed you with eternal blessings and given you the Joy of Your Presence. Psalms 21:6
The Joy of His Presence means you
being before the face of God — which is the literal translation of presence. The word “presence” is almost always translated in the Hebrew penae or peneme and it means “face.”
To be in God's Presence is to be Face-To-Face with God Himself.
Jesus is the one who makes you welcome in the Presence of God. Your Life Is Hidden with Christ in God. In Christ Now Is Your Life. It Is No Longer You Who Live but Christ Lives in You. Your Body Is the Temple of the Living God. Christ Himself Lives in You and the Holy Spirit Lives in You Permanently.
God Is the One Who Initiates the Invitation into His Presence, for example, read, Psalm 100:2: “Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!”
Or James 4:8: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.” These are invitations into the fuller, more intense, more certain, more joyful, more satisfying, more transforming experience of the reality of God.
So you can say you with the psalmist as a child of God,
“But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.”
Psalms 73:28
The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The LORD preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy.”
Psalms 145:18-20
One of the top priorities of every believer should be to actually experience God’s tangible presence on a regular basis.
What does it mean to sense the presence of God?
The Greek word for presence is prosōpon which also means face, just like the Hebrew Word. In other words, when we say we sense His presence, we are literally saying God’s face is near. Near your Face. You are Face to Face with God, just as Christ Jesus, because He Lives IN you.
God personally planned for you to always to see face to face with Him. This is why 2 Corinthians 3:18 says:
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Do not be conformed to this world, this age, fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs; BUT be transformed, literally changed by being with Christ, Who by the Spirit of God entirely renews your mind with God’s wishes and desires, both to will and to do His Good Pleasures, The Spirit Himself testifying together with our own spirit ( Romans 8:16), by The Spirit and the Power of God operating on you and stirring your minds most holy emotions and thus persuading you (1 Corinthians 2:4), for the Holy Spirit of God now really dwells within you, Who directs and controls you. (Romans 8:9)
For God Who said, Let Light shine out of darkness, has shone, Given Light in our hearts, made His Light shine in our hearts so as to beam forth the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ. Who Lives IN you. (2 Corinthians 4:6, Galatains 2:20)
You are the Light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.You are CHRIST LIGHT! So, Let your Light, His LIGHT IN you, shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14,16)
