Nancy DeMas Walgamoos says you won't get anywhere without one important factor in your life.

Apart from the power of the Spirit of God unless the Spirit of the Lord comes down, it's all in vain.

Going to church, disciplining, working, parenting, teaching on Revive our hearts, it's all emptiness, apart from the presence of Christ.

The presence of God is everything. Without Him, you cannot succeed. And with him, you cannot fail.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of Lies Young Women Believe.

For June 22nd, 2021, and

Dana Gresh.

You'll find plenty of books on success and strategy, but a relationship is far more important than a formula.

Nancy will talk about that today as she continues the series, indispensable ingredients for life.

I want to pick up again today on this concept that we touched on in the last session about

the importance of the presence of God, and how God said to Joshua, you cannot go forward into the promised land.

You can't take the people.

You can't succeed in what I've called you to do if you go alone.

But God says you don't have to go alone because I'm going with you.

My presence will go with you.

You will not be alone. I will be with you. I will not forsake you. You will not be alone. I will be with you. I will not

forsake you. I will not leave you. I will not drop you or abandon you. As we saw that one of the

paraphrases says, and we talked about this matter of the presence of God. Now, we know that God is

everywhere. He is omnipresent. There is no place you can go where you don't have his

presence. But there is a sense in the scripture in which we may experience the presence of God

in a different way than that. The Puritans used to talk about the general presence of God.

He is everywhere. And then they would talk about the cultivated presence of God.
