presence of God

believing God is omnipresent does not satisfy my ned for His presence. Long have the stories of Christ's return enthralled my curiosities, but few have been the insertions of the spirit's indwelling now. God is present now! too long has the Holy Spirit been tied to some revivalist of pentecostal religious experience; taking up snakes, tongues, healings, prophecies, etc.; the spirit is here, now! It is the power of God working the everyday aspect of life, breathing in and out in the presence of the sinful nature of man, the overwhelming phrase that bring confusion is, "sin cannot exist in the presence of God." Unfortunately, this statement is post knowledge propaganda. God planted two trees in a garden one time, two conceptual trees, one the concept of life thrived in its fruit the other tree the concept of good and evil thrived. these concepts are highly debated in the world, what is life, what constitutes existence, what is right, what is wrong? there are no concretes in the evaluation of fruits, yet the search for concretes in the evaluation remains the pinnacle of religions. Where then is God? We say he created all things, yet we limit His involvement when it comes to the things we have deemed unholy. "Do not call unclean what I have called cleaned!" "it is good!" The latter statement of Gods creation remark trumps out the concept of evil, that is unless God was not truthful in His evaluation of His work. How were we to quantify good without an evaluation of good? we needed the knowledge, we wanted the knowledge as much as we wanted to know the antithesis of life. God is here. He has not left us, nor does He cause bad things to happen to us. Viewing things as bad, evil, unrighteous; being critical of the critical illness we find in the antithesis of life is denying the presence and truthfulness of God. "It is good!" all things happen for a purpose, seeking God, evaluating God, getting to know God. He is here! His power (spirit) is with us. "It is Good!" the turning of the tides, the shifting of the earth's crust, changing of the climate. "It is Good!" because, "It is God!" He is here.
