My faith…

Remain in prayer always. Prayer are not just words. Being aware of a crowd of witnesses always around you. We live in the physical – yes! This cloud in the physical is those who hear us, see us, that we can see…

Mind you! ALL your ways.

Do you know that you have angels watching over you? The Bible assures us that we do, so why should we doubt their presence. It gives me great comfort to believe that they are always with me, encamped around me and delivering me. [Psalm 34:7]. I love to hear people tell “angel stories” and read about the way angels have intervened in people’s lives. We would all feel a little more secure if we would realize the constant presence of loving heavenly angels.

There have been volumes written about angel experiences. There are multiple sites on the internet with angel stories. As varied as the stories are, the common theme seems to be the positive effect angel encounters have on people’s lives. After experiencing the presence of an angel, we should be better people, and that seems to be the case in most instances.

When we feel fearful, we need to be reminded of God’s presence. When we feel weak in our faith, we need to be reminded of God’s promises and His great Love for us.

God is Omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere at one time. This is one of the amazing attributes of God, along with Omniscience and Omnipotence. God desires to be with us. He promises that He will always be with us. He wants to comfort us.

1. Acts 17:27 “God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.”

2. Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

3. Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

4. Isaiah 41:10 “Don’t be afraid, because I’m with you; don’t be anxious, because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I’m truly helping you. I’m surely upholding you with my victorious right hand.”

5. 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?”

6. Matthew 1:23 “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

7. Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

The Holy Spirit is always praying for us. And we are told to pray without ceasing. This means that we should remain in an attitude of constant communication to the Lord – He is near His children and wants to be relational with them.

8. Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”

9. John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.”

10. 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!”

11. Revelation 21:3 “And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will [a]dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them.”

12. 1 John 4:16 “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.”

God is with you and He knows what you are going through.

Even when life is hard – even when we feel like we are about to break under the pressure of stress, we can trust that God knows exactly what we are going through. He is not a distant uncaring God. He is right with us. Even when we don’t feel Him. Even when we cannot fathom why He would allow a tragedy to occur – we can trust that He has allowed it for our sanctification and for His glory and that He is right there with us.

13. Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do no fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will no leave you nor forsake you.”

14. Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

15. Deuteronomy 31:8 “And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.”

16. Psalm 139:7-8 “Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I go up to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.”

17. Jeremiah 23:23-24 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? 24 Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.”

18. Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.”

Faith it up!
