The word comfort means to relieve from pain or distress. It also means to soothe.
Presence can be referred to being in a place in question, or existing in the thing in question.
The comfort of God's presence in this context therefore is the strength we have in God, the relief we get by God's existence in us in life.
The Lord's presence in a community, a nation, church and in our individual life is very vital for victory, safety, security and excellence. In times like this we need to experience the blessedness of God's presence.
How can we experience God's presence and maintain it.*
The knowledge that God is everywhere as stated on Psalms 139:1-13 is of no benefit until it is appreciated by man.
In order to experience and maintain God's presence, we must :
1.We must be born again.
In John 3:1-7 ,a man cannot know God until he repents, forsake his sins and gives his life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Be filled with the holy spirit.
God dwells in man by the holy spirit. The believer must therefore ask God for his baptism. According to John 14:16-17 , he said he is the comforter.
Other ways are: Obedience to God and his word, Be righteous before God, Consistent study of God's word and Prayer is very necessary.
So with all this points, we would be be able to experience God's presence and maintain it.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!
