How to approach God

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!” Where God dwells there are gates and then the courtyard. Not much different than the approach of today’s kings. Much of how and what we do in this world is patterned after heaven’s design whether realized or not. Thanksgiving is the key into His gates, and praise should be given once we’ve entered the courtyard before the Holy of holies. Once we’ve come into the presence of God, the Holy of holies, it changes us for the good. By worshiping before going into the Lord’s presence, it calms down our flesh, and minds to be able to receive from God. Our spirit man at this point is ecstatic, super excited and totally submitted to the presence of God. In this position we can receive our spiritual needs. God works on us in a supernatural way that will affect our everyday life. There’s nothing like the presence of God. The counterfeit to God’s presence is drinking alcohol or using drugs to help you feel a certain way of comfort. But there’s only one true high that builds you up after the experience, and it can only be found and experienced by the presence of the Lord. The shekinah Glory of God is the ultimate experience of God’s presence that won’t kill us. Our earth suits (our bodies), cannot handle the uncut presence of God. The Lord has so much more for us that we can have if we would just seek Him out.
