Jesus Is Always With Us
"Jesus is our Lord and Savior. He is our healer, our deliverer, our coming King, our advocate, our high priest, our intercessor, our provider, our protector, our friend, and He will never leave us nor forsake us." I say that everyday, so whenever I get into a situation, I know Jesus is with me. He will never leave me, nor forsake me. I can't see Him, because He is in the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than this physical world, because the spirit world created this world. The angels are with me, so I don't worry that anything will harm me, and this keeps me at peace all the time. When I pray, I am not just saying words; I believe what I am saying.
Prayer is a set time with God for devotion, petition, and intercession. We should be praying and spending time with God every day. You should have a set time that you meet with Him. That is how you get to know Him. That is how you can be conscious of Him at all times. Your mind can stay on Him at all times. If your mind is on God, it will not go back to the times that you spent with an old girlfriend or boyfriend and the way you used to be. Those times when you had those candles burning and your romantic music playing in a darkened room. You can't think on that kind of stuff. You have to be thinking about the goodness of God, because if you don't, you are going to go down to the level of the flesh and the way you used to be in sin.
The Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6 that we are not to be anxious or concerned about anything, but by prayer and supplication we are to make our requests known to God. Supplication is more than just petitioning God or asking God for something. It means a high degree of intensity of earnest and extended prayer. Sometimes certain things will stay with you longer (or as we Believers say, "having a burden for prayer"), so you stay in prayer supplicating, or praying in the Spirit and bringing God's Word before Him. He knows His Word, but we need to remind ourselves what His Word promises. Paul says when we do this; the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The King James Version uses the word "keeps," and the new King James Version uses the word "guards," but they both mean the same thing. That word "guard" is a military term picturing a sentry standing guard as protection against the enemy. We are in spiritual combat, but God's power and peace are our sentinels and protection. That is why you need to pray, spend time with God, and get to know Him. A lot of preachers say that we who teach faith say that Christians don't have to go through struggles or trials or tests. They have never heard the whole message on faith, because we have never said that with all the things we have been through. No, the thing is that we don't center on the trials and tests, but we center on the truth: "...But the Lord delivers him out of them all" (Ps. 34:19).
I center on the deliverance part, not the going-through part. I refused to be anxious or worried, because I know God is going to bring me through. So, you are going to have to make up your mind that you are going to believe God. The greatest thing you can do in life is to learn to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
Luke 18:1 says, Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart. We should always pray, but that does not mean to pray 24 hours a day-it means don't ever give up the absence of prayer.
John 15:7 says, If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. You have to have a relationship with Jesus so that you know He will do what He says. He says you can ask what you will. That is a big promise. Why don't you take Jesus at His word and prove Him. I have and I know He can be counted on to fulfill His promises.
First John 5:14-15 say:
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
You have to get into the Word to find out what His revealed will is. His Word covers everything you need in life to live a successful, victorious and overcoming life.
I want you to know that you have a God who loves you, has given His life for you, and He wants the very best for you. I am a living witness of the goodness of God. He has brought me from sickness to health, from poverty to wealth, and He can and will do the same for you. For He is no respecter of persons.
