It is a powerful revelation when we become aware that Immanuel means “God with us”.  But, it is even better when the revelation becomes,….. God with me.  We need to make it personal.  God created for a purpose and that purpose is to worship Him. That doesn’t mean just at church.  Worship does not and should be contained only at a building.  Together, we need to make Jesus Christ a reality in the world.  As a matter of fact, not long after I was saved, I felt God told me that I was to make the fantasy of church, a reality in the world.  We need to learn how to “practice His presence”.
