Taste the world to come

Isn't it just like heaven

When you walk into the room

There's not a thing that's here

When every eye is on you

Can't get enough of your presence

It's the perfect point of view

Isn't it just like,

just like,

just like heaven

Mmmh,

come a little closer

🎵Stay a little longer🎵

Mmmh,

I can't get enough of your presence


There are two words that start with the letter R that I want to talk to you about.

The first is realization and the second is recognition.

Realization is to be awakened to awareness.

Recognition is to be able to acknowledge.

Now the realization of the presence of God comes through the recognition of it.

There are some people who believe that God is there.

There are some others who believe that God is here.

But God wants you to live by the experience of his presence.

Because God doesn't touch and go.

He is here and you can have as much of him as you desire.


Now you don't need to wait for a supernaturally overwhelming moment to experience God.

Don't live short of the desire of God and the design of God and the new covenant.

So God invites you to a continuous, glorious, blissful, all-satisfying exchange with him.

I mean an interaction that completely satisfies the heart.

Because the joys of the earth are as inconsistent as the earth.

Romans 8, verse 26 says that now in the same way, the spirit also helps our weakness.

For we do not know what to pray for us we should.

But the spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning stood deep for words.


Now the emphasis is on the spirit.

And the emphasis on the spirit is an invitation to leave our inadequacies and give attention to the Spirit.

So if I want to pray effectively,

I must give attention to the Spirit.

Now if you believe these words,

then these words will have power in your life.

Faith in the word gives you an experience of the word.

2 Corinthians 1, verse 21 and 22 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

who also sealed us and gave us the spirit in our hearts as a pledge.


Friends, the Holy Spirit is down payment of what is coming.

I mean I like how the hymn writer describes this experience as the foretaste of glory divine.

Friends, you can taste the world to come.

The world that is free of oppression, that has the radiance, the splendor, the excellencies of Jesus Christ radiating and illuminating.

The Holy Spirit enables you to hear Christ and see him with your spiritual eyes.

He enlightens your eyes, awakens your senses unto the life of Christ and illuminates the eyes of your Spirit.


How beautiful is this?

That God himself through his spirit and his word has made himself edible, sensible and tangible in the Spirit.

And if you recognize this truth, then you come to the realization of it.

The presence of God in you is a foretaste of the world to come.

Have a blessed day friends.

I just want more of you.

I just want more of you.

I just want more of you.

I just want more of you.
