He is with You

Imagine that you are in church and Jesus walks into the service saying, ''I have come to answer people's prayers and I want them to pray for the next 10 minutes''. I'm sure nobody will push you to pray that day. Imagine that Jesus Christ is physically present with you where you are right now. Imagine that He follows you to work, market and everywhere you go. How holier would you live as the Holy One Himself walks around with you? How powerful and full of faith you will be as the Miracle Worker Himself accompanies you through each day. As He walks with you to your place of work or business, I'm sure you will believe there is no difficulty or impossibility that can overcome you at work that day.

The truth is that all these scenarios happen every day but you just don't key into them. Jesus is really present with you where you are right now, even if you can't see Him with your physical eyes. He literally accompanies you everywhere you go daily. Every time you come to church, He actually walks in and says, 'I have come to answer prayers'. The reason we do not capitalize on the power of the presence of Jesus is because we walk by sight and feelings and not by faith: we only want to believe He is with us when we see Him physically. ...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me: Heb 13:5-6. These and more promises make us know that Jesus is with us and will never forsake us. He is with you right now and will be with you everywhere you go.

There is a certain knowledge that every believer must have. The Bible in Rom 6:6 says Knowing this.... You must know that the Lord is with you and keep saying it in order to substantiate it in your heart. The Lord takes delight in being with you and you are never alone, the writer of Hebrews says, so that we may boldly say..., which means you must say it, confess it, affirm it to yourself until it becomes your mindset. Since God's Word cannot be separated from Him, it then means that as you keep proclaiming the Word, you are proclaiming God and creating His presence around you. He continued by saying that the Lord is his helper and he cannot fear what man can do unto him. Fear dissipates when you know that the Lord is with you. So walk tall, fearing nothing, for the Lord is with you. There is nothing comparable to knowing that God is with you.

Prayer/Action
* Give thanks to God for His promise to ever be with you.
* T ell Satan to get lost because your Saviour is with you as a mighty warrior.
Celebrate the presence of God with you by waving your hands to God and saying, ‘Thank you Lord for being by me now and always.
