PRESENCE 

 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, 

I am there in the midst of them."

Matthew 18:20

PLACE

 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!"

Genesis 28:17

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!

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

PRESENT

 pray without ceasing,

1 Thessalonians 5:17

Therefore, we can pray anywhere, anytime, because we can enter into His presence with thanksgiving. He is ‘Jehovah Shammah’ -  He is there. He is ever present. He is not in a particular religious place, but in our heart. He is in our midst when we gather in His name. If two are gathered, He is the third Person. If three are gathered, He is the fourth person.

That is a powerful gathering!!

 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, 

saying to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O king." 

"Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; 

and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

Daniel 3:24-25
