Summary
This sermon calls FHMI to recover the manifest presence of Yahweh as central to Sabbath gathering and covenant identity. Drawing from Exodus, Malachi, Kings, Psalms, and Job, the message contrasts mere knowledge with experiential encounter and teaches that the congregation must prepare an atmosphere for the glory cloud. The sermon emphasizes worship, unity, holy things, miracles, prophecy, and the river of praise flowing from the people to create the cloud of Yahweh’s presence.
