Consciousness of God's presence: Do you believe that God is For you, God is in you and God is with you?
It's easy to get caught up in the enemy's strategy and forget that God has a protection covering around us. We often try to convince ourselves that God has a plan for us, even when we've received a personal word from Him, and also find scriptural reference to the promise.
Can we say disbelief is far safer than believing?
Can we say expecting nothing good is the best way to live out our lives?
A recent incident stands out in my memory. While riding public transportation, the wind blew some nylon bags towards our vehicle. The driver and passenger dodged, despite the windshield protection. In that moment, the Holy Spirit whispered, "See you - so conscious of the attack, yet unaware of My protection."
We're often more aware of curses, spells, and threats than the blessings that break them. We focus on breakups and rejection instead of God's provision and plan. But God says, "See Me, see that I have a greater plan for you, a plan that involves hope and a future."
God wants us to trust Him like a little baby trusts their father. The baby knows the father will catch them, no matter what. Similarly, God desires us to step into the consciousness that He is for us, with us, and in us.
The sun can scorch but I've got the best shade for you; the rain could fall but I have prepared a safety cover for you and maybe the project might have not pulled through but that's not all there use is.
We truly come in the understanding of God's word in these three scriptures that boldly tells us:
Romans 8:31 reminds us, "If God IS FOR US, who can be against us?" (NIV)
1 Corinthians 3:16 - "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells IN YOUR MIDST?" (NIV)
- Isaiah 41:10 - "So do not fear, for I AM WITH YOU; do not be frightened, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (NIV)
Even when we struggle to believe, we can speak this scripture and run to God's arms, knowing He provides an "all-you-can-eat" menu of blessings.
What would you have God be to you in this moment? Amen.
Stay Revived!
