The God Who is Near

Recently, our house of prayer had our big year-end conference with around 25,000 in attendance. I worked in the healing rooms & prophecy rooms in the conference. Everytime I would pray for someone, I was overwhelmed at the "God who draws Near."

Ephesians 2:17 says, "But now, in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ..." It is amazing how the presence of God would be so near as soon as we closed our eyes & began to pray. Hearts were touched, bodies were healed, & God in His nearness was made known to His people.

That is the beauty of the Incarnation. God came near. That is the beauty of the Indwelling Holy Spirit--God is near. No matter how far away He feels, we who were once far off, have been brought near by the blood of Jesus. Let us feel your nearness, Lord.
