THE ANGEL OF HIS PRESENCE
Exodus 23:20-21 "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him. (NIV)
When the Israelites left Egypt on a journey to the promised land. God told them that He was sending an Angel ahead of them to guard and bring them into the place He prepared for them. Their successful journey to the promised land was dependent on their obedient to the Angel. For God said to them "Pay attention to him and listen to what he says." That Angel is the Angel of His presence, the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 63:9-10 In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.
Remember that in Exodus 23:20-21 God told the Israelites not to rebel against the Angel He sent ahead of them. Here in Isaiah 63:10, Isaiah said "Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit."
The Holy Spirit is the Angel of His presence. That means He is the conveyor and communicator of God's presence. You can't have the manifested presence of God without the Holy Spirit.
Our success in life and every endeavour we undertake is dependent on our fellowship with the Holy Spirit; listening to Him and acting accordingly. The Holy Spirit does not only communicate God's presence to us but also lives in us as a Person. Your success in life is dependent on your relationship with Him.
PRAYER
Precious Holy Spirit I am grateful to you for conveying and communicating God's presence to me, and for helping me to recognize and live with the consciousness of your presence. Thank You for living in me; teaching and leading me in the way of a successful and victorious life, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
