I AM ALL AROUND YOU

I AM ALL AROUND YOU
,  hovering over you even as you seek My Face.  I am nearer than you dare believe, closer than the air you breathe.  If My children could only  recognize My Presence, they would never feel lonely again.  I know every thought before you think it, every word before you speak it.  My Presence impinges on your innermost being.  Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from Me? You can easily deceive other people, and even yourself; but I read you like an open, large-print book.

 

Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of My imminent Presence.  Many people run from Me and vehemently deny My existence, because My closeness terrifies them.  But My own children have nothing to fear, for I have cleansed them by My blood and clothed them in My righteousness. Be blessed by My intimate nearness.  Since I live in you , let Me also live through you, shining My Light into the darkness. 

 

  O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.  You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.    Psalm 139:1-4

 

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have  been brought near through the  blood of Christ.  Ephesians2:13

 

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.   2 Corinthians5:21

I AM THE ETERNAL I AM

I AM THE ETERNAL I AM; 

 I always have been, and always will be.  In My Presence you experience Love and Light, Peace and Joy.  I am intimately involved in all your moments, and I am training you to be aware of Me at all times.  Your assignment is to collaborate with Me in this process.

 

I have taken up residence within you; I am central in your inner-most being.

Your mind goes off in tangents from its holy Center, time after time.  Do not be alarmed by your inability to remain focused on Me.  Simply bring your thoughts gently back to Me each time they wander .  The quickest way to redirect your mind to me is to whisper My Name.

 

   God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.  This is what you are to say to the Israelites;  ‘ I AM has sent me to you ‘ “.  Exodus3:14

 

  Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?  1 Corinthians 3:16

 

  The LORD confides in those who fear Him; He makes His covenant known to them.  My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only He will release my feet from the snare.    Psalm 25:14

            

 

SPEND TIME WITH ME

SPEND TIME WITH ME
for the pure pleasure of being in My company. I can brighten up the dullest of gray days; I can add sparkle to the routines of daily life.  You have to repeat so many tasks day after day.  This monotony can dull your thinking until your mind slips into neutral.  A mind that is unfocused is vulnerable to “the world , the flesh, and the devil,” all of which exert a downward pull on your thoughts. As your thinking processes deteriorate, you become increasingly confused and directionless.  The best remedy is to refocus your mind and heart on Me, your constant Companion.

Even the most confusing day opens up before you as you go step by step with Me.  My Presence goes with you wherever you go, providing Light for your path.

     Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.  Psalm 63:7-8

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.  Psalm 119:105

 “Do not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong; nor afraid to defend the poor because of the power of the rich.”

OPEN YOUR MI ND AND HEART

OPEN YOUR MIND AND HEART— your entire being–to receive My Love in full measure.  So many of My children limp through their lives starved for Love, because they haven’t learned the art of receiving.  This is essentially an act of faith: believing that I love you with boundless, everlasting Love.  The art of receiving is also a discipline: training your mind to trust Me, coming close to Me wit confidence.

 

Remember that the evil one is the father of lies.  Learn to recognize his deceptive intrusions into your thoughts.  One of his favorite deceptions is to undermine your confidence in My unconditional Love.  Fight back against these lies!  Do not let  them go unchallenged.  Resist the devil in My Name, and he will slink away from you.  Draw near to Me, and My Presence will envelop you in Love.

 

     I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you , being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. 

Ephesians 3:16

 

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence.  Hebrews 4:16

 

 ” You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire….When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”  John 8:44

 

Therefore submit to God.  Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, your double-minded.   James   4:7
