Message 

1. Opening Worship and Praise 

On this 18th of February, God has given us this place for 20 years. How many will give thanks to the Lord? How many will give all glory to Jesus? Hallelujah! How abundantly has the Lord blessed us? Praise the Lord! We are forever grateful to God. 

2. The Foundation: The Lord Working with Them Mark 16:20 – The Lord Confirming the Word 

If I tell the truth today, I have many sentences and many words. But what does God’s Spirit intend to say? I am trying to discern in the Spirit. 

And they went out and preached everywhere. The Lord working with them—underline that—and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen! 

After Jesus died and rose again, He came to the disciples and said: “Go throughout the world and proclaim the gospel.” Whoever is baptized in faith will be saved. But whoever does not believe will be condemned. You will see these signs with those who believe. In My name, Jesus said: You will cast out demons. You will heal the sick. You will speak in new tongues. Even if you drink poison, no harm will come to you. 

The Lord, standing with them, testified to the words Jesus spoke. The Lord is saying to the church in this time: “I have not been changed. The word I spoke has not changed. I sat with you, through wonders and signs, I will testify that I am with you,” the Spirit of God proclaims this day. 

3. Three Things God Will Do When He Is with Us 

In a season, we wish God to work for us. At times, some people say: “I want to work for God.” But here it says: God will sit with them, sit alongside them, and work. God Himself does not have to wait to work. You do not have to wait to do anything for God. By submitting yourself, if you are ready, Jesus will sit with you, and will do great things. 

Such a presence of God that you have not yet experienced—a presence, the Lord’s presence—being with you. This is a year that proves it!

You will experience it personally. You will experience it as a church. You will experience it as a family. It is not the devil in your house, but the One who dwells and reigns in your house—not darkness, not disease, not bondage—it is Jesus who reigns in your house. 

Jesus’ name is Emmanuel. God is with us. God is sitting with us, and will do three things: 

First: God Will Dwell with Us 

He will take residence with us. Open your mouth and say: Jesus is sitting with me. He will reside with me. He will take residence in my life. Praise the Lord! 

Second: Jesus Will Accompany Us 

Wherever I go, He will come with me. The Lord will come with me. Glory to God! Hallelujah! 

Third: God Will Work with Us 

Sitting with me, God will work. You + Jesus is a mighty combination! Your caption: Jesus + me is a mighty combination. He is the major player. I am just one of His children. Anyone who belongs to King Jesus—that is a tremendous identity. 

4. God’s Tabernacle Among Us (Leviticus 26:11–12) 

I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. 

The proof that the Lord is with us is the sign that the Lord loves you. If God’s presence is with us, do you know what that means? He does not hate you. The Lord will not be with those who hate Him. He will not come down with them. 

God does not hate me. God is establishing His dwelling with me. He is setting His tabernacle with me. He is a mobile God. He is the God who walks with you! 

I will be your God, and you will be My people. You should rejoice in that. There is no greater identity than that. The Lord says: By My presence, this is the difference from the rest of the people. My presence will be with you as a tabernacle. I will manifest My love. I will be your God, and you will be My people. 

5. Members of God’s Household (Ephesians 2:19–22) 

You are no longer strangers or foreigners, but you are of the household of God. You are God’s household. For this twentieth anniversary, this one blessing is enough for us. I am the household of God. I am God’s possession. He shed His blood and

redeemed me. I am no longer a stranger. I am no longer an alien. I am a member of God’s household. 

6. Nations Drawn by God’s Presence (Zechariah 2:11) 

On that day, many nations will be joined to the Lord and will become My people. I will dwell among you. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 

When God’s presence stands with you, when you stand within a church, God will draw nations in. Many people will be attracted. The church grows by the presence of God. Not because there is a big LED wall. Not because a servant of God puts up a poster. Not because there is a big choir. But it is the presence of Jesus! 

Jesus is the biggest crowd-puller. Where He is lifted up, where He is honored, He said: “I will draw all men unto Me.” The people have not come here to see a servant of God. They have come here to see the Lord’s face, to experience the Lord’s presence. 

7. Your Body Is the Temple of the Holy Spirit 

In the New Testament, Jesus redeemed us and made us God’s temple. Don’t you know that? Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. And it is holy to God. Do not defile this body. This body is not for sin. This body is not for wrong paths. This body is for the presence of Jesus. 

May the presence of Jesus enter your body, and when it comes, the disease cannot remain. Even today, by God’s presence, let healings be in the name of Jesus! 

8. Where the Body Is, Eagles Will Gather (Matthew 24:28; Luke 17:37) 

Wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will gather together. Wherever there is the body of Jesus, there the eagles will gather. Some Bible versions say vultures—that come to feed. Some use the word eagle—that comes to fly high. Inside this presence, a feeding will take place. The eagles will rise up within this! 

Paul used a phrase in 2 Corinthians 4:10: In our bodies we carry the death of Jesus Christ.

9. The Mobile Presence of God 

That presence that came here—after experiencing it, when you go home, it is not you who goes. The Lord is coming along. The Lord said: “You are My people, and I am your God. I will walk with you.” This year, those who travel, it is not you who are going. The Lord’s presence is coming with you. 

Moses and God’s Presence (Exodus 33:14–15) 

Moses said: “Lord, if Your presence is not coming with us, do not send us.” The Lord said: My presence will come with you. I will give you rest. I will give you comfort. Comfort is within the presence. Unwanted tensions, anxiety, worry—all anxious thoughts arise when the presence is lacking. But when we enjoy the Lord’s presence, this anxiety, worry, or fear, none of it can remain. 

The Pillar of Cloud and Fire (Exodus 13:21) 

So that they may travel day and night, to show them the way: by the pillar of cloud by day, and by the pillar of fire by night, the Lord was going before them. 

I will be a pillar. A fire pillar. A pillar of cloud. That is, it is constant. Unchanging. It is a pillar. Even if the wind comes, this cloud has not departed. The Lord’s presence in these days is constantly with you in your journeys. On every path you travel, constantly, like a pillar, unchanging. Whoever has departed from your life, there is only One who does not depart—My Jesus whom I serve! 

Get ready for divine direction. Do not walk confused in your life. Divine direction—to tread only on God’s intended path, to go only where God commands to go. 

10. Moving with the Cloud of God’s Presence (Numbers 9:18–20) 

When the cloud rises from the tabernacle, the children of Israel set out. Where the cloud stands, they lay camp. As per the command of the Lord, they set out, and as per the command of the Lord, they laid camp. When the cloud stands over the holy place, they camp and dwell. If the cloud sits for a long time, do not think it will become stagnant—the Lord has seated them there. They will keep the command of the Lord and remain there. 

Patience! When God’s presence moves, they move. How many days His presence stays, accordingly, we must sit there. Only when His presence moves can we move.

Testimony: Recognizing God’s Presence 

Once you begin to enjoy God’s presence, you will be able to discern everything with God’s presence. Long ago, a servant of God named John Osteen, the father of Joel Osteen, and a servant of God named Kenneth Hagin, went to buy a car. They kept going from showroom to showroom. When they sat inside one car, John Osteen suddenly said: “Hallelujah! Glory! Praise!” He said, “Let’s take this car.” Kenneth Hagin asked, “How is that?” He didn’t ask the price or any details. The man said: “We went to many showrooms, but when we sat in this car, I experienced God’s presence. This car is what God has placed for me.” 

Testimony: How God Gave Us This Place 

When we first came here, this whole area was covered with forest. One day, while I was sleeping, I had a dream early in the morning. I had gone down to a place and said, “Oh, isn’t it nice to play cricket here?” When we were going toward Alappuzha, we stopped here, walked into the forest, and came to an area underwater. We stood and looked at the water—and God’s presence fell upon me. Only one area was a solid, firm spot. I set foot there and said, “Oh, isn’t this good here?” God reminded me of that dream. We took a step forward because we understood why the presence came. We didn’t even have a Trust at that time. During our 21-day fasting prayer, God told us to announce a vision. Within six months, God gave us this place! Glory to God! Hallelujah! 

11. God Sits with Us and Works (Psalm 127:1) 

Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. 

If the Lord is with us, the building work will happen. If God does not sit with us and build a house, no matter how much money there is, no matter how good the plan is, nothing will happen. But if God is with us and builds a house, that work is not in vain. 

It is not just a brick-and-cement job. It is God who builds a family. It is God who builds your generation. It is God who builds your finances. It is God who builds the unity within your family life. It is God who gives the peace within your home. It is God’s presence that builds your family. Your ability, your cleverness, your beauty, your money, your education—none of that matters. It is the Lord who builds your family.

12. Fear Not, I Am with You (Isaiah 41:10) 

Do not be afraid; I am with you. Do not be disheartened; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. With My righteous right hand, I will support you. 

There is a God who sustains me. Fear not, I am with you. In your workplace, in your business, in your studies—the Lord is saying: I am with you. Do not be afraid; I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you. 

The Lord said: I will uphold you. I will hold your right hand. So that your hand does not grow weary, I will sit with you. God’s presence is coming over your tasks. I will help you. I will strengthen you. Do not be afraid! 

13. God’s Presence Brings Success and Victory Joseph – A Successful Man (Genesis 39:2) 

Because the Lord was with Joseph, he received blessings. He was a successful man. If God is with you, you will be a successful person. 

Hezekiah – Victory in Every Battle (2 Kings 18:7) 

The Lord was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He won all his battles. 

Prophetic Declaration: Today, all the battles happening in your life—whether health-related, financial, mental, in family life, a court case, or a matter of property—all the battles you face in your life, you will have won. In Jesus’ name, I release that word over your life. You shall win over every battle! 

14. The Mystery of the Eight – Romans 8:28 

Whatever other numbers you enter, you can come out. But inside the figure eight, it keeps circling—like an infinite loop. You cannot come out. The enemy’s plan is to trap you in endless cycles. But if you are someone who loves God, God will turn it into Romans 8:28! 

If you love the Lord, His presence is with you. When you obey Him, His presence is with you. Any work of the eight, God will turn it into Romans 8:28. The Lord changes everything for good. If you think you will never come out of this endless cycle, right in that very place, the victory of Jesus will be revealed to you. The presence of God gives you victory!

15. God’s Presence with Your Weakness (Exodus 4:12) I will be with your mouth, and I will teach you what you shall say. 

God is calling Moses and sending him to Egypt. Moses said to God: “Lord, I am a weak man. I am a stammerer. I cannot speak properly. I am going before the greatest ruler. I need the ability to speak. Please change my weakness.” Moses’ priority number one was to change his weakness. 

But God is saying: No, son. Your priority and My priority are different. With your weakness, you will see My presence. My presence will be with you in your weakness. Because God’s presence will come with your weakness. He wants to do something extraordinary, something special, something supernatural. 

Because of your weakness, you should not cry. Because of your shortcoming, do not cry. Give that into the Lord’s hands. Let the presence of Jesus take over. Some are praying that things should change. Do not be discouraged. What matters is the presence you entrust. 

16. The Lord Stood with Me (2 Timothy 4:17) 

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 

In short, that’s all: If the Lord is with you, you will fulfill your ministry. Whatever God has entrusted to you, you will fulfill it. The mouth of the lion cannot devour you. God will keep you safe. He will strengthen you. 

For the 20th anniversary of our church: God was with us for the last 20 years. Until the Lord comes, He will be with us. Because we honor His presence. Today we must give importance only to that presence. In your life, don’t look even for the hand of God—look for the face of God. The presence of God. 

17. The Aaronic Blessing – Benediction (Numbers 6:24–27) 

God said to the children of Israel, to the priests: “Bless the people like this.” Benediction, the blessing—do not go before the blessing. The message is over; do not run away. Blessing is important. 

The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. 

So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

Within that blessing, twice God speaks of causing His face to shine. Kings do not show their face to the public. An average person would never even see a king. But here, the King of kings loves His people. He says: Let My face shine upon My people. 

The Importance of God’s Face – Attunement 

Babies need a face. Children need the face of a father and mother. There is a word used by psychologists: attunement. Children are attuned to a face. When they see that face, those children feel a sense of security, a sense of safety. Those children’s mirrors are that face. You smile, they smile back. 

The Lord is saying: I am going to show My face to you. I am going to give you My undivided attention. When I say My presence, if you value it, My undivided attention is going to come upon you. 

What the Lord seeks to show is not a face that is serious or ready to punish. No—a loving one. I am here to bless, to love. From that day until the Lord Jesus comes to bring His church to the heavens, the Lord’s face is a loving face. He wants to show you grace. He wants to give you grace. He wants to bless you. 

Today, God is revealing His face to you. The face of Christ, to be revealed upon you. And may you enjoy His presence. 

Moses Saw the Face of God’s Son 

In the Old Testament, when Moses asked for God’s presence, he saw only the backside. But Moses stood on the Mount of Transfiguration. With Elijah, there he saw the face of God’s Son, more glorious than the sun. He spoke directly to Jesus. Not a single prayer of yours will be ignored. 

18. Closing Prayer and Appeal 

May He cause His face to shine upon you. May He be gracious to you. May He give you peace. And may He bless you. With His presence and with His face, lift your voice. Lift your hands. Give a shout to Jesus! 

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! 

Let’s close our eyes. In the presence of God, may God be pleased. You have come down. Would you take a moment—whether you kneel down or stand up—in the presence of God? Would you give your life to Jesus?
