Step into the God dimension – Part 2

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! (PS 84:1)

Are you ready to step into the God dimension? In our last study, We saw how God’s kingdom has no time and how it relates to faith. In this study, we will see how David got addicted to staying in God’s presence. This healthy addiction got him thru difficult situations and trials in his life.

As we look at Ps 84:1, we see that David had stepped into the tabernacle of God. Notice how he praises this place by using the word amiable. Amiable means lovely. David had a good attitude especially when he said—I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. (Ps 122:1)

Pastors would use this verse to stir up praise and encourage the congregation. We should always be joyful when we go to church, but I want to take this a step further. I believe that David was caught up in the Spirit and saw God’s temple in the heavenlies. Notice on Ps 84:2, he mentions the courts of the Lord. Courts indicates being in the presence of the King!

He was so overwhelmed with this that his flesh and heart cried out for the living God. Other words that he used was longeth and fainted. Back in the 60’s, when the Beatles came to America, young ladies would scream and even faint at their presence. They had an effect on them especially thru their music.

I personally believe that this was a counterfeit anointing. The devil likes to imitate God, but when you get into the real deal and in the Lord’s presence, it can so overwhelm you that it knocks you flat on your back. David was addicted with the Lord’s presence. This is a key item to remember when you cross the Valley of Baca (Weeping).

Valley of Baca

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. (Ps 84:6)

The Valley of Baca is a place of weeping. Brethren, I hate to burst your bubble but we got to pass thru a Valley of weeping. Yes, it is wonderful getting high in worship and appreciating God in the beauty of holiness, but there is a valley of weeping that we must pass by. David realized this and he learned to encourage himself.

That encouragement helped him to be refreshed. The Valley of weeping will leave you dry and we need to learn to press thru the God dimension. Many reading this will go thru a personal tragedy, problems on the job, persecution from a family member, etc. Let’s learn from David how to be refreshed and go from strength to strength. (Victory to Victory)

For more on this subject, I have enclosed a video for further study. It is my prayer that it will serve as encouragement for your Valley of Tears. Be encouraged, brethren, because you are destined to win. God bless.
