i AM ALWAYS WITH YOU

Have you ever felt like God is not hearing, seeing, or forgetting you? Be honest now.

I am reminding you that he is ALWAYS WITH YOU, AND YOU ARE ALWAYS ON HIS MIND. HE IS GOD. 

God loves you so much. I know you may have heard many times that God loves you; there is a song saying Jesus loves me. This I know, for the bible tells me so little ones to him belong. We are weak, but he is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me, for the bible tells me so, BUT what you experience in your day-to-day lives seems to suggest something a bit different, right? There are many whys. 

I have been there many, many times. Knowing and understanding a thing when it starts to make sense, we acquire a strength that changes our mindsets, what we say, what we do, and our lives. Just make it make sense. 

The truth shall set you free. John 8: 31-32 he says to the jew who believe, but this is for anyone to you who believe, 

31 He said to the Jews who believed, "If you keep and obey My Word, then you are My followers. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

Are you ready?

First, the enemy, satan, is a stone liar who comes to kill, steal, and destroy

John 10-10 -29 The thief approaches with malicious intent, looking to steal, slaughter, and destroy; I came to give life with joy and abundance. 

His whole agenda, the devil, is for you to believe a lie. For you to disconnect or never come into a relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the author and the finisher of life. He, Jesus, is the life-giver in every aspect of our lives. 

So here is the primary truth you need to know. Life is about trusting and believing Jesus in everything and having a great relationship with him. There is a scripture that says in all things, give thanks.

 1 Thessalonians 5:18

18 Give thanks to God no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. (This is God's will for all of you in Jesus the Anointed.) 

18 In everything, give thanks. This is what God wants you to do because of Christ Jesus. I can almost hear somebody say now. But how does a barrage of problems and circumstances leap off your tongue? The buts and I don't have, and I can't do it, But they did this, and this happened. Why? How could you, why did you, and so on. I cannot tell you how many times and how long I was caught up in this spinning wheel, BUT THE TRUTH HAS ME FREE. HALLELUJAH. AND IT IS A DAILY JOURNEY. 

 I used to think that once I accepted Jesus, everything would be a bed of roses, sweet-smelling perfume, no more problems, no more situations. Somebody should have told me the whole story. Somebody lied to me. You see, humans, we have been told a lie. Let me say believers of Christ, disciples of Christ, lovers of Christ. We have been taught a lie. And I am finally learning that all is well regardless of the situation. When you become a follower, lover, and disciple of Christ, you are NEW AND a light in this dark world. It is where satan and his followers abide. And they hate that light. They hate your light—the light of Jesus inside of you. Oh yes, you carry a light. You now bring that light they so despise. It reminds them of what they once had. That they no longer have and can never get it back. They are hell-bound. You are now something they desire to put out. 

Just think about this. You are no longer a part of this evil world; you belong to Christ. And the devil hates that, and he desires to make your life a living hell. He is defeated, thanks to Jesus. The devil knows it, and he cannot do anything except put suggestions in your mind and symptoms in your body and put his finger in your finances and relationships. But Jesus said many are the afflictions of the righteous. Psalms 34:19 19 A man who does what is right and good may have many troubles. But the Lord takes him out of them all.

And He also says, and he gave me this scripture in a dream or vision 

1 Peter 4: 12-19 12 Dear ones, don't be surprised when you experience your trial by fire. It is not something strange and unusual, 13, but it is something you should rejoice in. In it, you share the Anointed's sufferings, and you will be that much more joyful when His glory is revealed. 14 If anyone condemns you for following Jesus as the Anointed One, consider yourself blessed. The glorious Spirit of God rests on you. 15 But none of you should ever merit suffering like those who have murdered or stolen, meddled in the affairs of others, or done evil things. 16 But if you should suffer for being a Christian, don't think of it as a disgrace, as it would be if you had done wrong. Praise God that you're permitted to carry this name.

People often suffer because of poor decisions that result in shame, but the people of God face persecution for their faithfulness, leading to honor and glory.

17 For the time for judgment has come, and it is beginning with the household of God. If it is starting with us, what will happen to those who have rejected God's good news? 18 It is written in Proverbs,

If it is hard for the righteous ones to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinners?

19 So even if you should suffer now for doing God's will, continue doing good and trust your futures to the judgment and mercy of a faithful Creator.

So, in all things, give thanks. 

Know that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6: Be strong and be courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them. The "them" are your problems, your concerns, the negative words, the things that trouble you, that make you cry, that make you sad, that make you want to quit.

 The Lord your God goes with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. 

Psalms 139:7-10 We cannot escape God; he is always with us: Can I go anywhere apart from Your Spirit? Is there anywhere I can go to escape Your watchful presence?

8 If I go up into heaven, You are there. If I make my bed in the realm of the dead, You are there.9 If I ride on the wings of morning, if I make my home in the most isolated part of the ocean,10 Even then You will be there to guide me; Your right hand will embrace me, for You are always there.

So, remember that nothing is wrong in this season or any other. Believe, lean on trust in Jesus. Exercise your faith. Hebrews 11: Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you've never seen. 2 It was by faith that our forebears were approved. 3 Through faith, we understand that the word of God created the universe; everything we now see is fashioned from that which is invisible.

Faith begins as hope and, indeed, is unseen; so many doubt that it is real. What follows is the proof that faith is a reality that can be trusted.

So let us give thanks now. 

Sitting here in the presence of the MOST HIGH, THE GREAT I AM
