of God himself in 2 Chronicles

things give the church house its
glory, the fact of the presence
of God and the reality of the
presence of God. God has prom-

We are reminded of a quote
given last week which says,
"The constancy of God's pres-
ence nothing can change, but
the consciousness of God's pres-
ence, anything can change."
THE QUESTION addressed
today is, how can we get the real-
ity of God's presence back in
the house of God? There are
numerous times in the Old
Testament where the glory of
the Lord filled the house of the
Lord. It is from these passages
we can learn how to get the glory
back in the house.
The first passage is found in
the book of Exodus chapter
forty and verses thirty to thir-
ty-five. In verse 34 the glory is
real, but the secret is found back
in verse 31 where the Bible says,
"And Moses and Aaron and his
sons washed their hands and
their feet thereat." Verse 32
goes on to say as the Lord com-
manded. The point is the glory
was real because the servants
of God were clean and obedient.
Many times folks walk into the
church house and they are not
prepared to worship God. There
is unconfessed sin in the lives
of God's people, there is disobe-
dience to the Word of God, and
as a result the Holy Spirit of God
is quenched.
We must realize that a lost
man in the presence of the con-
gregation cannot hinder the
service, but a child of God with
unconfessed sin certainly can.
Husbands and wives that are
out of sorts with one another,
parents and children out of
sorts, church members that har-
bor grudges, as well as pastors
and deacons that are fussing,
can hinder the work of the Itoly
Spirit.
IN MOST CHURCHES an
invitation is given at the close
of the service to give people an
opportunity to make things
right with the Lord. Sometinms
I believe that the invitatiotx
should be given at the beginning
of the service so God's people
can get right and then the tIolv
Spirit will have freedom to d,
his work.
If our churches are going to
experience the glory and power
of God again, there must be con-
fession of sin on the part of God's
children, grudges need to be
dropped, gossip needs to be
stopped, and forgiveness needs
to be given.
