God's Presence.

Acts 4:8-13
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 He is
"'the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the capstone. 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

Peter and John were brought to the elders to be questioned. They knew they were being called to exhibit kindness. When Peter and John came to the people, the people were shocked. They observed that these men were actively a part of Christ and they were with Jesus the whole time. The key here was that the men didn't have to say they spend time with Jesus on a regular basis. The Jews could actually tell that they spent time with Christ because of their actions and lifestyle.

It is for sure that Jesus altered their lives to show that God was stemming from them and transforming the lives of many others. What are the requirements of letting others see God in you? You have to be Christ-like in everything you do. The only way that this is possible is by allowing God to dwell in your soul and also by living in his presence. This means you have to make a full-blown decision. You have to understand that God's own presence is always there.

Let's face it, you can only gain rewards for being in God's presence. It will be easy for the world to recognize by the fruit that you obtain that God plays a huge role in your life.

Additionally, you'll experience great joy when you live in the presence of God's holy name. It will be poured over all areas of life. From there, you pour that love onto others who you run into.

The fact is big changes occur with God in your life. With God, you can become more like God's son, Jesus. Make God a full-time commitment today!
