Where Dwellest Thou? Come and See!
The sermon invites listeners to experience God's presence and guidance in their lives by walking with Him and seeing for themselves.
George Warnock emphasizes the invitation from God to dwell in His presence, as expressed in Isaiah 57:15. He encourages believers to not just visit God occasionally, like the disciples, but to make a continuous commitment to walk with Him daily. The sermon highlights that true understanding of where God dwells comes from personal experience and relationship, rather than mere knowledge from others. Warnock calls for a humble and contrite spirit, which is essential for revival and connection with the Holy One. Ultimately, he urges listeners to accept God's invitation to 'Come and See' for themselves.
Text
"For thus saith the high and lofty One
That inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place,
With him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones (Or, "the bruised ones")"
(Isaiah 57:15)
Shall we not go there and dwell with Him there, not just one day like the two disciples of old... but all our days? He gives the invitation: "COME AND SEE!" This is the only road map He has for you. Others can tell you about Him. Others may give you all the answers. But until you "come" and walk with Him in the Way, and See for yourself--you will never really discover where God dwells.
