We are nearly two weeks in, in a New Year. Holiday revelry–whatever it was–is well past. I find this time of year both exciting–I can think, I can plan–and challenging (I can think, I can plan). I’m always wondering, at the bottom of every thought, where are You? Where are You in all my thinking and planning?
I’m right Here. Ever-Present, ever available. Humans tend to discount the idea of God being involved in little things, or they trivialize My Presence by limiting Me to being a Granter of Endless Wishes. Both are neither wholly wrong or wholly right because neither is a whole perspective.
Jesus was different from the religious leaders of His day, and different from many religious and spiritual leaders since, because He didn’t separate Himself from the crowds. He taught, He healed, He feasted, He provided miraculous resources for everyone who came. That’s the Mystery Jesus came to embody–God fully Divine, fully Holy and fully present.
You have done well to set aside these regular, daily times of conversation. But even you limit Me to these finite minutes. If you let yourself understand Emmanuel, the awareness of My Presence would forever erase doubt, banish fear, overcome anxiety.
-Be Not Afraid–for I Am with you.
-Be Believing – for it is I Who Am speaking with you.
-Be Anxious for Nothing – for I Am Here to receive your every care, your every concern.
Yes, Lord, but, pardon me for this, You are not a wizard and this is not a fairy tale. People die here. People get hurt here.
And I Am Resurrection and Life. I Am Healer and Restorer. If you, if humans could really experience My Presence, be aware of My Presence, for one 24-hour period, the world would be changed overnight. Like the influence of a powerful magnet, the awareness and experience of My Presence would re-align motives and character, would influence actions, thoughts and desires, and would solidify choices for goodness and kindness, for Love and Peace. the outflow would be tremendous Joy, overflowing Joy and Abundant Life, just as I promised!
Death, rather than being feared, would be seen as the Door to Glory it is. Life would no longer be lived in its shadow. All the focus would be on living Love, here in the human body, there in a deathless body. Life unto Life, all in Union with Me.
How did seeing the whale yesterday make you feel?
Exhilarated. Excited. Happy. Expectant.
A few minutes, with a great, huge creature, in all the vast ocean, which I made–as you recall–to sport and play, gave you all that?
Yes, Lord. It did.
Then imagine what a day, as you reckon time, in My Presence, would do for your soul. For your body. For your spirit.
Are You saying that’s possible?
I’m saying it’s essential.
Kaylee comes in, barks for dinner, Pete comes in, I check the roast. Essential.
And here I Am, as if you’d never left My Presence, because, hear Me, you never left My Presence. You cannot go anywhere I Am not present. To live the life you were born to live, it is essential you begin to live this truth. Not just believe it, not acknowledge it, not think about it, not ignore it, not forget it. Live this Truth. Today, tonight, tomorrow, the next day. Glory awaits humanity here. Thy Kingdom Come is not a futile, fruitless, impossible prayer! But you are living as though it is! Is God not Father? Is God not Holy? You strive for daily bread instead of asking for daily bread. Ask for daily bread so you can do your part in being daily bread, in feeding the world My Hope and My Love and My Peace and My Joy, My Kingdom, My Will, My Abundant Life. Do you really think I gave these words as meaningless, ritualized rotes, or as dynamic promises and prophecies? Live My Presence. BE My Kingdom Come, on earth, as in heaven.
Wow!!! x 20!!
This is absolutely, incredible. Beyond my words.
His are all I need. He is all I need, every moment of every day.
Thank you for sharing this with us!
