01 Nov The Dancing Hand of God (Part 7)

Manifest Presence God Overview

In Part 7 of ‘The Dancing Hand of God,’ this powerful sermon explores the crucial difference between God’s omnipresence and His manifest presence. While God is everywhere (omnipresence), believers need to embrace His tangible, manifest presence through the Holy Spirit’s anointing. Drawing from Isaiah 8:18 and 10:27, the message reveals how believers are called to be ‘signs and wonders’ through God’s supernatural manifestation. The anointing oil represents the Holy Spirit’s power to destroy yokes of bondage, providing spiritual ‘lubrication’ that makes life’s challenges easier to bear. In these last days, as anti-Christ spirits gain momentum globally, the church serves as salt preserving the earth. The Hebrew word ‘Mishka’ describes the anointing as God’s massage therapy, rubbing healing oil into our spiritual muscles to relieve stress and bondage. Through compelling testimonies, including a man healed from 12 years of MS on a Christian cruise, this sermon demonstrates that God’s manifest presence brings supernatural breakthrough beyond human capability. The Holy Spirit’s anointing sets believers apart, providing strength, richness, and divine lubrication for victorious Christian living.

Manifest Presence God Notes

This profound sermon challenges believers to move beyond intellectual knowledge of God’s omnipresence into experiencing His manifest presence. The pastor establishes a foundational truth that while God’s omnipresence means He exists everywhere, this knowledge alone provides no practical benefit except understanding God’s magnitude. The transformative power comes when God manifests His presence tangibly through the Holy Spirit’s anointing.Isaiah 8:18 reveals believers’ divine purpose: to be ‘signs and wonders’ demonstrating God’s supernatural power. This manifestation often makes people uncomfortable, yet it represents the very aspect of God’s presence we must embrace. When God shows up powerfully, people ask ‘What is this?’ – the same response the Israelites had to manna in the wilderness. This supernatural manifestation serves as evidence of God’s reality in a skeptical world.The current global context adds urgency to this message. As anti-Christ spirits gain momentum worldwide, with protests erupting across nations against emerging one-world government systems, believers must understand their role as salt preserving the earth. The strength of Christianity in America has delayed certain global developments, but this preservation will end with the church’s departure.Isaiah 10:27 provides the solution: ‘the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing oil.’ The Hebrew word ‘Mishka’ means to rub oil like a masseuse working knots from muscles. God’s anointing functions as divine massage therapy, rubbing healing oil into our spiritual muscles to relieve stress, pressure, and bondage. This imagery powerfully illustrates how the Holy Spirit works in believers’ lives.The anointing oil in Scripture always represents the Holy Spirit and was applied to priests and kings as a sign of divine protection. When believers allow the Holy Spirit’s anointing upon their lives, it signals demonic forces to ‘leave them alone’ because they belong to God. This supernatural covering provides both protection and empowerment for victorious living.A compelling testimony illustrates this truth: a man bound to a wheelchair for twelve years with MS attended a Christian cruise reluctantly. When two anointed young women prayed for him, nothing immediately happened. However, the next morning, he and his wife naturally walked to breakfast, forgetting the wheelchair entirely. The Holy Spirit had performed overnight surgery that no doctor could accomplish.The word for oil, ‘semen,’ means perfume made from oil, representing richness and strength. Like silicone lubricant that makes mechanical parts work smoothly, God’s anointing removes the ‘squeak’ from life’s difficulties. When challenges seem increasingly difficult, God’s oil makes them manageable and smooth.This message calls believers to hunger for more than positional truth about salvation. We need the Holy Spirit’s manifest presence to destroy bondages, provide supernatural breakthrough, and demonstrate God’s reality to a lost world. The anointing sets believers apart as a ‘consecratory gift,’ enabling God to use them powerfully. Without this manifest presence, believers rarely experience supernatural breakthrough and rely primarily on human strength rather than divine empowerment.
