The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He is enthroned between the cherubim. Let the earth quake. —Psalm 99:1
How often do you see nations trembling at the presence of God today? We see them shaking their fist at God instead as governments institutionalize, legitimize, and legislate evil.
But imagine seeing the nations of the earth trembling at the Lord’s presence, afraid to do anything that would dishonor Him. It can happen when God manifests His presence.
In speaking about revival, pastor and author Richard Owen Roberts says,
The greatest single aspect of every true revival is the peculiar and wonderful sense of the presence of God . . . It is this mighty sense of the presence of God which draws large crowds, produces intense conviction, causes tears to flow, enables hardened sinners to right the wrongs of years past, produces seemingly instantaneous conversions and results in spontaneous joy and enthusiasm.1
The presence of God brings those things about!
