In today’s message Bro. Leo explains the availability, importance of and how to obtain the super natural experience of the presence of God. From genesis to Revelations the theme is God being with His children. In order to experience the presence of the Lord, we must make a place for Him in our life. We need to get alone and grab hold of Him and not let go until we experience His presence with us. Our prayer life should be a super natural experience where we speak to God and He speaks to us (pray in the spirit, be filled with the spirit). The day of our salvation should not be the only time His spirit fills our heart, we can have that filling every day if we seek it.
