He is Everywhere

Sep '21
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. (Genesis 28:16)
He is everywhere at every time.
Even when you do not sense His nearness with your natural abilities, He is present with you in every moment.
But how do we become more aware of His presence? The answer to this is by spending more time with Him and basking in His light.
It is easy to be succumbed to the restlessness of the world.
The enemy fights us relentlessly when it comes to spending time with our beloved.
The devil knows what will happen if we bask in the Lord’s presence consistently.
Chains are broken off, healing takes place, and revelations are received!
In addition to this, we are transformed and become more like Jesus. The more we bask and soak in the light of the Lord’s presence, the brighter our light becomes for His kingdom.
Because the Lord is present in every moment, He holds your every moment.
This truth helps us to increase our trust in Him because we know we never face any moment alone. Even as you are reading these words, He is present with you.
Your holy Helper and constant Companion, the Holy Spirit, is always with you!
Take time to rest with Him today. Give yourself permission to lay aside every task waiting to be done.
When you spend time with your beloved, do not let time restraints make you rush through your communion with Him. Pause, be still, and allow yourself to bask in His radiance. When you do this consistently, transformation takes place, your awareness of His presence is enhanced, and your spiritual ears become more sensitive to His voice.
Even in times where you feel like it’s difficult to sense His presence and He seems far away… just whisper to yourself the words of Jacob: “Surely the Lord is in this place.”
“Lord, thank you that you are always present everywhere, in every moment. You hold my world in your hands. As I take time to rest with you, help me to be more aware of your presence, for surely you are here with me. Amen.”
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

He Has Girded Me With Strength
23
Sep '21
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. (Psalm 18:39)
You are a warrior for Christ!
Life is full of battles.
In the spiritual and natural realm, we will face opposition and trials.
Forces of the world and kingdom of darkness are restless in their effort to try to pull us away from God.
Thankfully, the Lord has faithfully equipped us with His armor and given every weapon we need to face our enemies!
No matter what we face in life, we know that God goes before us to scope out the battle.
There is no surprising God or catching Him off guard.
This is why even in the midst of warfare, we can place unwavering trust in Him because we know how faithful and reliable He is.
God knows the battles we will face before they even arrive! When you have God on your side, your victory is already secure!
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4)
If you’re a child of God and love Jesus, then you already have the victory! The Greek verb tense in this verse for “overcome”, indicates continuous action.
This means we are continually and consistently overcoming the world! Even when you become weary in battle, remind yourself of the God who has endless strength that is on your side fighting for you. Remind yourself of the victory that already belongs to you as a child of God.
As a warrior for Christ, it is important to get in the habit of putting on your armor each day.
Each day, you need to refresh yourself with His word and the spiritual armor that comes with it.
TODAY: Remember you are a warrior who overcomes the world and all that it throws at you!
Knowing who you are in Christ and that Jesus goes with you into every battle, you can rest assured that you will be victorious!
“Heavenly Father, thank you that you have armed me with your word and give me the strength to endure every battle! Thank you for going before me and staying by my side. I can rest at ease knowing that I am an overcoming warrior and already have the victory through you! Amen.”
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Broken and Contrite

Sep '21
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. (Psalm 34:18)
If you have ever experienced heartbreak in the past or are currently going through it, then you are far from alone.
Jesus Himself is very familiar with heartbreak.
He had to bear the weight of sin itself on His shoulders and watch as the ones who pledged their allegiance and love, turned their back on Him.
Jesus experienced the ultimate betrayal and the complete depth of what it means to be heartbroken.
Jesus experienced anguish so deep that scripture tells us that He “sweat drops of blood” in the garden of Gethsemane.
If you’re experiencing heartbreak, make an intentional decision to enter into the Lord’s presence!
There, you can take the broken pieces of your heart and lay them down at his feet.
Pour out your heart to Him and tell Him everything.
In the midst of your pain, you will find Him.
Out of everyone you will meet in this life, Jesus is the only one who understands you perfectly.
He not only knows everything about you, but He also knows how to heal you.
Take comfort in the Holy Comforter himself, and listen to what He has to say.
Remember, God loves you beyond your comprehension. He has seen all you’ve gone through, not even the smallest detail has escaped His notice!
You are cherished, desired, seen, heard, and loved by the Father!
“Heavenly Father, thank you for healing my broken heart and piecing me back together again for your glory. Thank you that you understand me perfectly and know how to heal me. I love you and choose to take refuge in you! Amen.”
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:3)
God, when I feel saddened by what’s happening around me, please show me how I can bring hope, peace, and encouragement to this broken world. You have called me to be Your light bearer – so please help me do that. Use me to spread Your love on earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Have a beautiful and uplifting day in The Lord!
