EMMANUEL: THE GAME-CHANGER CALLED GOD’S PRESENCE
FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH
“They go from strength to strength…” — Psalm 84:7
We do not go from struggle to survival;
We go from strength to strength because God’s presence escorts us.
KEY INSIGHTS
1. God Responds to Spiritual Consideration
When Joseph thought on these things, the angel appeared (Matthew 1:20).
➡️ Divine encounters are triggered by spiritual sensitivity, not panic.
2. God Is Not a Last Resort
God must never be our emergency contact.
When God is your first and only resort,
good results are guaranteed.
Faith does not consult options—faith trusts God absolutely.
3. Emmanuel Is Not a Prophecy—It Is a Reality
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive… and they shall call His name Emmanuel.”
Emmanuel means:
God with us
God for us
God in us
➡️ With Emmanuel, you are guaranteed God’s abiding presence.
4. God’s Presence Is Power and Grace
Victory in life is not accidental—it is presence-driven.
➡️ The more conscious you are of His presence,
➡️ The more consistent your victory becomes.
5. Focus Releases Power
When focus is on Jesus, power flows in our direction.
Storms cease when Jesus becomes your focus.
Crises bow when Christ becomes central.
Romans 8:28 — God is already working things together.
➡️ God never comes late.
➡️ God is never “about to do it.”
➡️ He has already done it—belief activates it.
6. We Go Through to Breakthrough
Breakthrough is not avoidance of trouble;
It is God’s presence carrying you through it.
➡️ The presence of God is always a game changer.
Psalm 114:1–5
Creation recognizes God’s presence.
➡️ If the sea fled,
➡️ If mountains skipped,
➡️ Then your challenges will respond too.
7. When God Goes With You, Arrival Precedes Journey
Exodus 33:14 — “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”
➡️ When God’s presence goes with you,
➡️ You arrive before you even start the journey.
8. Jesus Is the Fullness of God
John 1:14 (KJV, NLT, MSG, NIV)
John 14:9
Colossians 1:19 (AMPC)
➡️ The presence of Jesus is the presence of God.
➡️ All the fullness of God dwells in Christ.
Christ cannot be in your boat and you lose hope.
9. Fix Your Eyes on Jesus
Hebrews 12:1–2 (KJV, TPT)
Psalm 34:5 (NLT)
Looking unto Jesus:
Fear fades
Strength returns
Shame disappears
HOW TO ENJOY GOD’S PRESENCE DAILY

4. Put His Word to Action
John 2:5 — “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.”
➡️ God’s instructions may not make sense,
➡️ But they always make wonders.

1 Corinthians 6:19 (NKJV)
You are not empty—you are God’s dwelling place.
Romans 8:11
Everything needed for the supernatural
already lives inside you.
THE HEART OF EMMANUEL
