A People defined by His Presence

- Pastor Rusty Owens - July 17, 2026

“If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here. For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exo. 33:15-16

Moses understood 3400 years ago what truly defined the people of God from all the other people on the face f the earth. His presence separates the the wheat from the chaff. His presence differentiates all monotheistic theology. This separates the Christian from the Muslim. This separates Christianity from Judaism. 🧐 His presence separates the Bride from institutionalized religion. What good is your theology if you do not have his presence. What does it matter if your ideology is correct if you do not have his presence. 🧐 His presence separates you from latter day Pharisees. 🤔 His presence alters your mindset. His presence alters your nature. We are to be a people defined by His presence.

“You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.” SOS 4:12.

“Holy Father, fill us with your presence. Let there be increase of your presence in us and around us. Let Heaven and earth collide. May your bride be a well spring shut in! In Jesus name… amen!” Pastor Rusty.
