Watch the video below by Steve McVey, it’s about Christian Religion Lie #86 “We Should Invite God’s Presence Into Our Church Service” and my comments follow…
You hear it all the time:
“Come Holy Spirit”
“Jesus be with us today”
“Father, we invite your presence”
“God be with us here today”
You know what I think?
I think…
Most Christians Think God is a VAMPIRE!
Why?
Because vampires can’t come into a person’s house unless they get invited in. And many people think the God of the universe, the creator of all things, the all powerful, all knowing, all in control being who is already everywhere — NEEDS an invitation to come to church with us Christians.
Funny when you look at it like that aint it?
What does the Bible say?
Jesus said this in Matthew 18:20:
“For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”"
How is this possible? Why is Jesus with them?
Because when you were “reborn” into Christ… when you entered into life (God) through Christ, through salvation you exchanged your old spirit, your dead spirit, for the very life of Christ.
So God is already with you wherever you are, wherever you go, there’s no need for you to “invite him in” like He is some vampire that needs permission to enter 
What to do instead?
Try this next time: instead of inviting God’s presence into your church service, or asking Him to be with you in some time of need (whatever that may be)… just thank Him.
Thank Him that He will never leave you… that He is always there with you… that He is faithful to be with you until the very end… and thank Him for being the incredible, loving, amazing God that He ALREADY IS.
Try this and see if you don’t like it better. So don’t believe the lie anymore that you need to invite God into your church service — He’s not a vampire… He’s already there.
With Love
