Meeting with GOD

PRESENCE 

 For where two or three are gathered together

in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

Matthew 18:20

PLACE

 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba 

and went toward Haran. 

So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, 

because the sun had set. 

And he took one of the stones of that place 

and put it at his head, 

and he lay down in that place to sleep. 

Then he dreamed, and behold, 

a ladder was set up on the earth, 

and its top reached to heaven; 

and there the angels of God 

were ascending and descending on it. 

And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: 

"I am the Lord God of Abraham your father 

and the God of Isaac; 

the land on which you lie 

I will give to you and your descendants. 

Also your descendants shall be

 as the dust of the earth; 

you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, 

to the north and the south; 

and in you and in your seed 

all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 

Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, 

and will bring you back to this land; 

for I will not leave you 

until I have done what I have spoken to you." 

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, 

"Surely the Lord is in this place, 

and I did not know it." 

And he was afraid and said, 

"How awesome is this place! 

This is none other than the house of God, 

and this is the gate of heaven!" 

Then Jacob rose early in the morning, 

and took the stone that he had put at his head, 

set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 

And he called the name of that place Bethel; 

but the name of that city had been Luz previously.

Genesis 28:10-19

Although Jacob thought that GOD was in a particular place, it is the person and the people that GOD is interested in. He comes, not to live in a place or a building, but in the hearts of individuals and among His people!

GOD is not interested in a particular place or in a pillar.

He is interested in you and He desires to dwell with you.

Will you open your heart to Him and invite Him into your life?

Come to the Almighty GOD in the name of His Son, JESUS.

He died to offer you forgiveness of all your sins.

Confess your sins to Him and receive His forgiveness by faith.

The LORD JESUS will enter your heart in the form of the Holy Spirit.

PEOPLE

Do you not know that you are the temple of God 

and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 3:16

 For the Lord's portion is His people; 

Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

Deuteronomy 32:9
