In His Presence
This morning was one of those mornings where after I prayed in the Spirit, I rested in His presence. This is the place of peace... His presence. This is the place of love…His presence. This is the place of rest…His presence. This is the place of joy…His presence. This is the place of hope…His presence.
I am so very grateful to a Father who gives us rest and refills our cups so that we can pour out His love on others. May we be deeply rooted and planted in Him always. He is our anchor! He is our sustainer.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken. — Psalms 55:22 CSB
God wants us to bring it all to Him. That’s exactly what I did this morning. I brought all my thoughts, wants, needs, burdens, and troubles right to Him. In His presence there is freedom from all the things that try to shake you or take you down. And here’s the thing, you can GET INTO HIS PRESENCE whenever you want to. It’s not just reserved for morning prayers, nightly prayers, or prayer closets. Our Father is available at all times to us for any thing. You saw the scripture up there. It says cast your burden on the Lord. Whatever is burdening you! WHAT EVER IS BURDENING YOU!
I feel like some of you have let others tell you what you can and cannot cast on the Lord. Your burden ain’t there burden. So don’t let someone else keep you from casting because they may be the type of who don’t cast at all. They may be the type who tries to handle everything on their own. But we are going to do what the Bible says do. CAST YOUR BURDEN ON THE LORD! He will SUSTAIN YOU!
Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God! — Ephesians 3:18-19 The Passion Translation
“God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love. I pray that you and all God's people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ's love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.” — Ephesians 3:16-19 CEV
Get in the Lord’s presence today to experience all His wonderful and glorious LOVE towards you. As the scripture says above, how deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! Yes, He loves you that much! Don’t believe me? Get into His presence and find out!
SALVATION PRAYER
If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
