Carriers of His Presence

By Apostle Nicky Van Der Westhuizen, September 21, 2025

God is raising up a remnant in this hour—a supernatural breed, chosen by grace and set apart for His glory. They are fearless, hungry, unshakable in faith, marked by worship, and destined for exploits that shake nations. We are becoming that remnant: carriers of His presence in a world desperate for God.

The Three Distinct Marks of the End-Time Church

  1. A Church of His Word (Matthew 4:4) The Word sustains the Presence. Without the Word, we cannot discern or respond rightly.
  2. A Church of His Power (Acts 1:8) Filled with the Spirit, demonstrating God’s works. To the world, we preach the power of God.
  3. A Church of His Presence (Acts 3:19–21) To the church, we preach the Presence of God. The Presence brings rest, refreshing, and restoration.

What the Presence Does (10 Manifestations)

  1. Destroys Obstacles & Strongholds – Psalm 114; Isaiah 64:1; Matthew 27:51
  2. Opens Doors No One Can Shut – Revelation 3:7–8; Acts 16:25–26
  3. Releases Divine Direction – Exodus 13:21; Psalm 89:15
  4. Unlocks Supernatural Supply – John 2:1–11; Luke 5:5
  5. Brings Healing & Miracles – Luke 6:19; Hebrews 13:8
  6. Imparts Life to the Dead – John 11:43–44; 2 Kings 13:21
  7. Gives Strength for Victory – 1 Samuel 17:45
  8. Dismantles Demonic Altars – 1 Samuel 5:3–4
  9. Initiates New Beginnings – Revelation 21:5
  10. Releases Favor, Rest & Joy – Genesis 39:2, 21; Exodus 33:14; Psalm 16:11

How to Sustain the Flow of the Supernatural

  1. Seek God with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
  2. Host His presence daily (Psalm 22:3; Colossians 1:27).
  3. Live in prayer & fasting (Mark 11:23; Matthew 17:21).
  4. Walk in fresh revelation (John 11:40).
  5. Pursue the fear of the Lord (2 Peter 1:3; Acts 5:13).
  6. Stay hungry & thirsty (Matthew 5:6).
  7. Build kingdom relationships (Matthew 18:20).
  8. Live a life of sacrifice (Romans 12:1).
  9. Maintain worship (2 Chronicles 5:13–14).
  10. Walk in honor & sensitivity to the Spirit.

The Character of an Encounter with God • Encounters shift seasons, leave lasting impact, ignite pursuit, and create deeper hunger. • They soften hearts, reveal God, empower trials, keep us sharp, and transform lives. • Every true encounter is meant to change us forever.

Prophetic Declaration: The remnant are arising—chosen, consecrated, and fearless. We will be a church of the Word, a church of power, and a church of His presence. We will not settle for visitation; we will carry habitation. And as His presence rests upon us, obstacles will move, doors will open, miracles will manifest, and nations will be shaken. We are the carriers of His glory in this generation!
