With all the things that are taking place in this world and its brokenness, remember that God is with us, for us and will not leave nor forsake us. Wear the full armor and hold His righteous right hand. The Holy Spirit walks with us, beside us. Luke 12:25, Psalm 89:15, John 16:33.

Remember that the enemy wants us not to see ourselves as God sees us. In believing the white noise and removing our focus on Yahweh our Heavenly Father, we allow ourselves to become weakened. God sees us clothed in His radiance and in His righteousness. The enemy does not want that in us. It frightens him actually. Psalm 34:5, II Corinthians 5:21, 3:18, Galatians 5:25, Isaiah 42:6, Romans 15:13.

A personal relationship is beyond just knowing about Christ our Lord, God in Heaven or the Holy Spirit. Draw in and listen to what the Holy Spirit will teach, have faith in God and practice His presence. Accept and believe that Christ Jesus came to this plain of existence in the flesh; He died for us to be able to be joint heirs with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. Colossians 1:27, Isaiah 42:6, Nehemiah 8:10, Romans 15:13.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; truthfully, not one of us deserve the gifts of God. The Kingdom of God is not about deserving at all, but rather about His love and grace. Simply thank our Heavenly Father, accept and He delights in our happiness and reception. When we are told that He will open the windows of heaven and pour out his blessings on those that love the Lord; nothing is said about earning or deserving. Simply that those that love God. Psalm 23:5, John 3:16, Luke 11:9&10, Romans 8:32.

Count it a privilege that God chooses you to be about His business; not that he needs you, but CHOOSES you. Be guarded against the ramblings of that white noise the enemy puts into our minds; in that we would believe we are better than others and that our position is more important. Do not allow that arrogance to overflow into your actions toward others and remember that we have been given power and authority by Christ to quench that spirit of untruth. Luke 10:19, I Peter 2:9, Ephesians 1:18-20, Psalm 105:4, Deuteronomy 33:25. We are a peculiar people because we don’t follow the crown, dong what everyone else does or says simply BECAUSE everyone else is. We should be different in our speech, our actions and our worship should be set apart….we ARE chosen and we ARE different.

I Peter 2:9; we are chosen of God and for His purpose we are guided by the Holy Spirit in truth, knowledge and wisdom. So all would have an opportunity to be reconciled and be heirs, joint heirs in the kingdom of heaven. Yahweh Ahman!!

Practicing God’s presence is establishing time for Him and with Him. In the here and now because in the there and then, there will inevitably come something we allow to interfere and not give the sovereign Lord God the time of day with Him. Sound harsh, well the truth is sometimes like that. Do not put off time with God, practice His presence in earnest and remember, that in making time for Him, He will take time for you. Psalm 89:15&16, I John 3:19&20, Jude 24-25, Psalm 41:12.

Never forget and draw on the memory, His promise and His truth; He is with us always. Deuteronomy 31:6, Luke 12:22-25, II Corinthians 10:5, Deuteronomy 13:1-5, Daniel 10, I Timothy 4:1, II Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15, Luke 24:49-53, Acts 1:8.

A name can be a title, it can be the description of the character; or in the case of our sovereign Lord, they are His character. He’s not doing good things because it’s the right thing, doesn’t love us the way He does because it’s the right thing…He does them because He IS them. He IS love, He is good, He does all because He IS righteous. Proverbs 3:5&6, 4:24-27, 5:1&2, 6:16-23, 8:11.

Try the Spirit to guide in ALL things. If there is truth in it, the Spirit will allow it. Appreciate that God is with us in difficulty and it will strengthen us and our faith will grow. Philippians 4:13, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 102:27, Acts 17:27&28.
