The Manifest Presence of God by Steve Porter

By Steve Porter

I was awakened to an audible warning siren. I was jolted out of my sleep but heard nothing and saw no physical evidence of this warning. I felt a quickening in my spirit; that this was a spiritual warning. I heard this through my inner ear but it had an audible sound so loud it woke me up. Even now I don't know if this warning siren was an outward sound or an inner sound. I did know it was the sound of the Lord.” My good friend Joel Killion said it best, there is a particular sound which inherently, yet quietly, vibrates within the subtle stillness of God's tangible presence.”


 


And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. 2 Samuel 5:24 (King James Version)


 


This going is the sound of the Lord at work, moving in His purpose in our midst. This warning was indeed the sound of the Lord at work and was given to me for a special reason.


 


Hot Spots of My Glory


 


I heard the Lord say there will be hot spots of my glory.  He than asked me to pray for the west coast, in particular California. I sensed that trouble could be brewing for the state, but the Lord wanted to stop it and bring hot spots of His glory there. California does not stand-alone; many places will have open heavens where His manifest Presence will dwell. I believe a holy visitation will come to California!


 


I have never heard the term hot spots of my glory, until that morning. I once had a vision of a grid with several lights on it. The Lord said, "In the last days many will be my lighthouses that will reflect my glory." I could plainly see the towns and cities that were represented by a light on the grid. The Spirit will hover over the face of the deep this time we will reflect His glory like the beautiful reflection of the sun rise coming up over the glistening fresh waters of the great lakes. The first time he hovered over the darkness of the deep. Now the Son dwells within us we have the light of God shining through us. He will use His City on a Hill to be a light unto all the world.” We will be carriers of God's glory.


 


God is Pouring out His Spirit


 


Can we experience the same atmosphere as from the throne room? Does God desire for His manifest presence to invade these hot spots? Yes! God is pouring out His spirit upon the spiritually thirsty and the spiritually discontent. This is the pre-qualification to be a hot spot.” He is creating hot spots connected to the throne. These are ones that live and that seek Him full heartily. Many hot spots are already forming. The manifest presence is building.


 


There are deeper dimensions in God (John 14:2) we have not yet entered. Places in the spirit we have not seen. The Manifest presence of the Lord is on those that desire the deeper realms of the spirit. A direct connection to the atmosphere of heaven is being granted to those who fully have submitted to loving Him. The Lord wants us to know He is preparing a place and a people to be that hot spot they will be the reflection of His very Glory.

When John's grandfather passed away, he left him with a heavy burden and a great gift: A bag of valuable gold coins and a sealed envelope with strict instructions not to open it until he was an old man himself. He carefully counted out the seventy gold coins, one meant to spend each year of his life. Vowing to spend them wisely as his grandfather had instructed, he felt confident in his financial strategy. Some years were easier than others, but John was determined to follow his grandfather's wishes.
"Yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant." Job 14:9 One morning my sweet wife brought a pot of flowers to my attention, a pot we had forgotten for a few days. Not on purpose, just overlooked because it was in an out-of-the-way place. When we discovered the dead flowers, we almost gave up and threw them away. For some reason, I just could not give up on them. Though they were dead and ugly with no life left in them, I saw them as they could be - beautiful. I moved the container into the sun for better warmth and watered them daily, speaking uplifting words of life over them. These flowers belonged to me; I would not quit on them or give up - not yet.
The Revelation of Ezekiel's wheel within a wheel is a divine mystery to the body of Christ. There have been a number of commentators over the years that have given their best interpretations of this divine revelation, but the wheel has remained a mystery in the minds and hearts of most Christians. This is much like lifting a diamond into your line of sight, where you will see the glistening rays of light flash from many different angles. Each angle is unique, bringing new and more beautiful flashes of light, yet it is still one single entity just like the revelation of the wheel. Each ray of greater revelation makes up the wheel within the wheel. I humbly shine my bit of light on this powerful revelation.
