The Presence Behind The Veil || Pst Hans Baird

God's Presence raises sons, but before God entrusts His Presence to us, He prepares the kind of heart that can remain there. In this sermon, Pastor Hans Baird shows that the heart God can trust with His Presence is a heart that has been searched, circumcised, corrected, and trained to obey. True spiritual growth is not measured by what we know, but by what we are becoming. We cannot truly receive from the throne of God until we are broken enough to let His Word judge our motives, correct our ways, and reshape us into the image of Christ. Through the examples of Jesus, Paul, Saul, the rich young ruler, the disciples, and the fellowship within the Godhead, this message explores: • Why we must not merely seek to know the Word, but become what the Word is revealing. • Why brokenness, humility, and obedience prepare us to receive from God's throne. • How to discern the Body of Christ by honouring, serving, restoring, and speaking truthfully about the brethren. • Why Jesus hid behind the Father instead of receiving glory for Himself, and how hiddenness guards our hearts from pride and vanity. • How the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit continually reveal and honour one another, giving us the pattern for esteeming others above ourselves. • Why believers must guard their hearts against murmuring, offence, and the subtle workings of Satan. • How everyday acts of obedience prepare the heart for God's Presence. In this season where the Lord is teaching His Church about His Presence, we must not despise the nature of our Lord Jesus that is being revealed to us. The heart that dwells safely with God is one that continually yields to His dealings, delights in His correction, and patiently allows Christ to be formed within.
