In His Presence - Paperback

by Margaret Jordan-Nelson (Author)

It is God's desire for the body of Christ to live a life of pursuing His presence and living a lifestyle of celibacy, holiness and purity that they may present their body a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable and pleasing to the Lord. God wants His children to experience His presence . . . Once you relinquish your will and seek the will of the Father, He will lead you into obedience. In this deeply reverent work, Margaret Jordan-Nelson urges believers to actively seek God's will in accordance with Isaiah 55:6. Fellowship with Him produces the yearning for His loving rule in your life. Sexual purity is an important part of that life, one lived with the fundamental desire of bringing glory to God. It is not a mere divine whim that encourages believers to strive for holiness. Rather, the Word promises blessing for the diligent embracing of Christ's guidance; if you delight in the Lord, the Bible promises the desires of your heart. Still, as the walk with Jesus grows more intimate, obedience becomes the basis of a rewarding lifestyle that is pleasing to God. The more you seek him, the more you die to self . . . It's left up to each individual if he or she wants it bad enough. Once you begin the process of seeking the Lord's face, there is no turning back. Margaret Jordan-Nelson came to know Jesus at an early age and has been a Christian for forty-six years. Margaret lives in Madison, Alabama, and has traveled throughout surrounding towns teaching Sunday schools, doing workshops and speaking on various occasions. She is committed to the will of God in her life and enjoys the presence, power, and grace of God. It is her obedience to the Lord that produced In His Presence, her first book.
