HARNESS A PRESENCE
Luke 12:48 For those who have received a greater revelation from their master are required a greater obedience. And those who have been entrusted with great responsibility will be held more responsible to their master. (TPT)
To harness is defined as distributing weight, applying pressure correctly, and carrying a load safely. A harness is not designed to remove the weight; it is designed to help bear it effectively. In machinery, a harness assists in carrying the weight of freight. In aviation, it secures and suspends an object, preventing it from falling. In much the same way, God uses His presence to reveal more of Himself to us.
Harnessing God's presence is a combination of both machinery and aviation. There is a weight that accompanies His presence, yet it is that same presence that sustains us and keeps us from falling beneath it. The presence of God is not merely something we experience; it is something we are called to carry. You may never physically see Him, yet you will carry Him. Throughout Scripture, the Lord sought men and women who could steward His presence without collapsing under the weight of His glory. This is because His presence carries responsibility, conviction, authority. and purpose. Many desire encounters, but few understand the stewardship that follows. The greater the presence, the greater the need for alignment. Just as a harness distributes weight and secures a load so it can be carried safely, God develops our character, faith, and obedience so that we can carry what He places upon us correctly. The Lord does not entrust the weight of His glory to unprepared vessels. He trains, stretches, and strengthens us so that what He places within us will not crush us but transform us. Every season of preparation, every moment of pruning, and every lesson in obedience is Heaven's way of fitting us for greater measures of His presence. What is remarkable is that the same presence that carries weight is the same presence that carries us. It places a demand upon us while simultaneously sustaining us. It convicts, yet comforts. It stretches, yet strengthens. It rests upon us, yet upholds us. The question is not simply, "Can I experience God?" but rather, "Can I effectively harness what He desires to place upon my life?" For encounters may be momentary, but stewardship is lifelong.
