We need the manifest Presence of God.

God is omnipresent—everywhere at all times—but He is not always manifest present, meaning present in a felt, tangible way. It is His Presence and power that change our lives and satisfy our souls.

Without His Presence, we are mentored by a lower-level atmosphere, and we begin to come to conclusions that are unbiblical and unhelpful. This is why the Presence and power of God matter so deeply. Yes, we need the power of God to reach the world (Acts 1:8), but we also need the power of God to disciple the Church.
