Carriers of His Presence

1 Samuel 7:1-2

1 And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the Lord and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and they consecrated his son Eleazar to watch over the ark of the Lord. 2 From the day that the ark remained at Kiriath-jearim, the time was long, for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel mourned after the Lord.

2 Samuel 6:1-10 (NKJV)

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem

6 Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. 3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark. 5 Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.

 

6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez Uzzah to this day.

 

9 David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10 So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

 

Today I want to ask you what are you Scared of when it comes to the Spirit of God?

Why are we so scared to host The Presence of God? Hear me!

 

I didn’t inherit a climate, But I am responsible for shaping one!

 

If the atmosphere isn’t what it should be, the shepherd feels it first.

 

That’s the weight of a calling. David felt it; Moses felt it; Paul felt it. And I feel it.

 

 

BASH Family Worship Center is a Jacob’s well, open for all to drink. Bash Family Worship Center is house of 5 porches where you find healing for your soul and diseases.  Bash Family Worship Center is a family where you can say your God is my God; your People are my People.

 

 

Church, we must learn to carry the Presence once again. How you carry Presence privately needs to be corporately as well.

 

We need to create the Atmosphere deserving of the King of Kings. The problem with the corporate body is we want to “control the Presence”.

 

God didn’t hire you to watch the Presence, he has called us to Host the Presence.

 

Can I release what God has said in the Prayer Closet?

 

God is about to wreck this house. This is Holy. We are in transition. It’s time corporate Bash Family, God is calling you higher. “I don’t need a manager” saith the Lord. I’m looking for a body to Host My Presence. Don’t put Me in a box but release My Presence. We don’t need institutional permission to host the Presence.

 

 

Tell someone I cannot live half-lit. Institutionalized Christianity is scared of the Presence of God the presence has to be controlled and explained away instead of released.

 

 

BASH Family Worship Center is a upper room where you will see the supernatural tongues of fire upon ordinary people, you don’t have to be a preacher to speak in tongues, just obedient hearts beating as one.

 

 

BASH Family Worship Center The cost of openness is higher than the cost of silence.im not living another 20 years in silence, the last 20 years has not been silent for me, but have I really went far enough to end the silence. 

 

When I say Institutional Christianity,

 

I’m not talking about the Church. “Jesus loves His Church”. I’m talking about systems that fear what they cannot control.

 

 

Institutional Christianity says:

  • We affirm the Spirit (doctrinally)
  • We restrict the Spirit (functionally)

 

 

That’s why tongues resurface outside official channels first.

 

The Spirit always leaks where He’s been contained. Bash Family Worship Center isn’t a leak.  We are a river Church where God can flow.

 

 

I want to use some doorway language. Tongues reappear at transitions because:

  • God is shifting authority
  • Expanding territory
  • Commissioning voice
  • Ensuring the work stays Spirit-led.

 

 

Because tongues:

  • Disrupt control
  • Challenges linear theology
  • Reintroduce dependence

“A transition season demands utterance.”

 

 

The Holy Spirit said in my prayer closet, “you shall speak in new tongues.”

 

 

Tongues often resurface when:

  • God is re-centering identity
  • A leader or a Church is carrying more than words can bear
  • When the next season cannot be articulated yet

 

Romans 8:26 is not poetic, it’s functional.

 

“The Spirit Himself intercedes with groanings too deep for words.”

 

 

Tongues come when: your spirit knows before your mind does.

 

When language hasn’t caught up to calling. Commissioning is happening internally before it manifests externally.

 

 

Many of my friends believe you must speak in tongues to be saved. I totally disagree

 

Scripture is clear:

Salvation is by grace Ephesians 2:8-9:

 

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

 

 

 

The Spirit indwells every believer at conversion

 

“If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him”

Romans 8:9

 

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His

 

 

So logically:

If tongues were required for salvation, then Paul could not say that every believer has the Spirit and 1 Corinthians 12:30 (“Do all speak in tongues?”) would make no sense.

 

 

Tongues are evidence of empowerment, not proof of regeneration.

My lived experience reflects Acts perfectly:

I was born again, I was filled, two years later I spoke in tongues That pattern is biblical (Acts 8, Acts 10, Acts 19).

 

 

Eternal Security

 

The phrase “the eternal security of the believer is sealed” is solidly Pauline:

“You were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.” (Ephesians 1:13)
“A seal until the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30)

 

 

That seal happens at new birth, not at tongues.

So, the baptism of the Holy Spirit cannot be about securing salvation, because salvation is already secure.

 

Baptism of water isn’t salvation; it’s a manifestation of the inward work of the Holy Spirit.

 

 

Speaking in tongues is the manifestation of the inner man.

 

The baptism of the Spirit will loose the inner man, and a flow of Power, tongues of fire will manifest, “the natural man speaks”, “now the Spirit Man must speak.”

 

 

“The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not about receiving a different Spirit, but about releasing the Spirit who already indwells the believer.”

 

 

John 7:38  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.

 

 

Notice:

The river is already inside you. The issue is release, not arrival. Tongues, then, function as:

 

  1. Yielding of the inner man
  2. Voice given to the Spirit within
  3. Witness that the Spirit has permission to move through the believer

Tongues is not a badge, not a requirement for heaven.
But a gateway for power in earth.

 

Acts 1:8  “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

 

1 Corinthians 14:14-15

 

14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

 

 

The inner man must pray; he prays the perfect will of God.

You must learn to pray in your understanding, and you must learn to pray in the Spirit with tongues. When you pray in tongues you will release Mysteries.

 

 

1 Corinthians 14:2  For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

 

 

Release the inner man.

God said in the prayer closet

Speak from the inner man

Don’t be afraid to carry the Presence of God, release it and see what happens. You’re a believer now.

 

 

“The Presence of God does not move through systems—it moves through surrendered people.”

 

 

We are not doing the same thing Abinadab did. He watched the Presence.

“God is calling BASH Family Worship Center to stop guarding the Ark and start carrying it.”

 

No more borrowed fire

No more secondhand methods

No more ox-cart Christianity

No more stationary Presence

Only obedient shoulders to carry His Presence
