(glory) of God rested between the cherubim, on the mercy seat, above the Ark of the testimony. At one point, Ezekiel witnessed the glory of the Lord as it departed from the temple:
So the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them. And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.
EZEK. 11: 22-23
The Holy Spirit is a person. He inhabits us and never leaves us. The manifest presence of God (His glory) is the spiritual substance of His being and not a person. God’s glory (or presence) comes and goes, though His Spirit does not.
When people refer to God’s presence being “everywhere” they’re speaking of God’s awareness of all that is happening in creation. But there is a different aspect to His presence, which is purely relational and it has to do with worship. It’s this presence (His glory) that appeared in the temple. The presence of God as it was manifested in the temple, and which is now manifested at different times in different places, is not present everywhere or all the time. It is reserved for places and times of worship.
This aspect of His presence is manifested wherever the sincere worship of God takes place. It is there for the express purpose of entering into a relational experience with Him. God’s glory brings healing, deliverance, creative miracles, and much more into existence. Wherever God’s presence is manifested in this way, heaven touches earth.
God Was With Him
Jesus was fully God and fully man, but it wasn’t His own divine power at work when He healed the sick. If the works that Jesus did were a result of His divinity, it would be impossible for us to do even one, because we are not God. The Bible says that Jesus emptied himself of His divinity and became a man just as we are (Phil. 2:6-8). The apostle Peter made the following comment about how Jesus was able to heal and cast out demons:
“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
ACTS 10:38
Peter’s explanation was that Jesus didn’t heal the sick because He was God, but rather, because He was anointed by God and that God was with Him.
Jesus is God and yet, the Bible teaches that God was with Him and that God’s Spirit rested upon Him. Somehow, the oneness shared by the Godhead allows all these seemingly impossible relationships to exist, despite the fact that they seem to contradict one another. Since God’s nature doesn’t change and His nature has been to appear (manifest) as dwelling in people, resting upon them, and residing in certain places, His Spirit could rest upon you or I and His presence could manifest in a restaurant, your living room or my ambulance.
In October of 2011, I had a dream about God’s presence that took place in a hospital. In the dream, I was talking with the hospital staff, introducing them to God’s presence and praying for them to be healed. One of the patients was a baby about five months old. There was also a doctor who wanted healing for arthritis in his elbow and knee. But in the dream, I knew that healing wasn’t the main goal. My primary goal was introducing them to the presence of God. Getting them healed was secondary.
If we want to have victory over sickness and we want people to recover faster with fewer complications, we should invite God’s presence to come and make Him welcome when He arrives. God’s presence can do the work of healing, deliverance and restoration that we need. I’ve read dozens of testimonies of people who were healed merely by resting in the presence of God in worship. Although healing is a tremendous blessing to those who receive it, the greater need we all have is to draw closer to God and to know Him in a deeper way. Healing is one way to bring people into a greater experience
