Once Jesus came to earth and became
the God-Man, He lost His omnipresence – meaning that although He was probably able
to do that in His former state in heaven, He could no longer be everywhere at
once, after He was encumbered with a human body. He said to His disciples that
it was expedient or to their advantage that He go away John
14:16.
Why?
The advantage, to the disciples for
Jesus to leave this earth was because the Holy Spirit would then come and take
His place; and the joy of that is that the Holy Spirit can be every place at
the same time! That is Omnipresence!
Therefore, when you are in the
middle of a business deal that seems to be going sour and you call on God for
help; the Holy Spirit will show up there.
At the same time, when your spouse
is stuck on the freeway with a flat tire, the Holy Spirit is right there.
Your child is taking an exam, at
the selfsame time that you are in a business deal, your spouse is stuck with a
flat on the highway, and your child is in need of spiritual direction; the Holy
Spirit is with your child as well. He
has the ability to minister to each of you at the same time, even though you
are in different places confronted with different issues!
In all of my years of studying and
learning about the work and abilities of the Holy Spirit, I have concluded that
His Omnipresence is perhaps one of the greatest gifts that God has given to His
people.
Hallelujah and thank God for the
gift of the Holy Spirit.
