The
moment that we really accept Jesus we accept HIS world which is the Kingdom of
heaven. We then desire more and more of His presence as our first priority.
We
then live by faith, and because of the genuine faith in the person of our Lord
Jesus Christ, we can see the situation around us with a different prospect.
Some
people are too tight to their earthly surroundings, they may want Jesus, and
all the other deceitful things of this earth. They don't believe that if they
seek first the Kingdom of Heaven all the other things will be added to them!
Like
Esau, they can easily exchange Jesus for a plate of lentils. They may exchange
their salvation for some hours in lust, adultery or gossip. (See Genesis 25:19-34)
Walk
in Spirit means that we should walk in harmony with the Holy Spirit, and walk in
the flesh means to walk according to satan's last desires.
 |
| She was healed from arthritis, she felt no more pain, and was able to dance for the Lord. |
We
live in this world waiting for the time, that we will be reunited with Jesus, but as
Christians, the world should not live in our hearts. Some people have a wish list
in their hearts and they don't mind in having the Presence of the Almighty One
in them.
Those
who walk in Spirit, walks in faith, they walk in the presence of God and for them,
there will be no limitation, but those who walk according to their flesh, are
limited by their sights.
When
the twelve spies went to see the Promised Land, ten of them were living in the
presence of this world and they could not believe, that God would give the land
to them. They just saw the giants (the problems) and immediately the ten became
doubtful and hopeless. (See Numbers 13
and Numbers 14)
Only
two had a different spirit, only two were walking in the presence of God and
they became full of faith that God would give the land to them.
For indeed we have had the
glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the
Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to
them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not
mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute
trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it;
neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard
(did believe). Hebrews 4:2 (AMP)
All of them heard the Word of God, but only
two believed while the others were living by sight. When a person does not walk
in the Spirit, she walks in the darkness. If a trial comes on their way,
they quickly faint and exchange her faith in Jesus for a plate of meal.
 |
| The people was listening the word of God |
For we have heard the Good
News, just as they did. They heard the message, but it did them no good,
because when they heard it, they did not accept it with faith. Hebrews 4:2 (GNT)
People
may attend a church for a lifetime, if they do not accept the Word that is
being preached, the Word will be void to them.
For only we who believe can
enter his rest. As for the others, God said, "In my anger I took an oath:
'They will never enter my place of rest,' " even though this rest has been
ready since he made the world. Hebrews 4:3 (NLT)
What
is the rest? The rest is the blessings of having Jesus as the only Lord in our
lives. Jesus is the Promised Land Himself, a Land full of blessings,
prosperity, joy, health... Jesus is our everything!
But
because they were not walking in God's presence, they lost the rest and
consequently they wandered on the desert for forty years, forty years of
dangerous snakes and scorpions.
Do not forget that he led you
through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous snakes and
scorpions, where it was so hot and dry.
Deuteronomy 8:15 (NLT)
Bad
choice! Like Esau, who exchanged all his blessings for a plate of lentils! They
exchanged the goodness of milk and honey for forty years of wilderness.
In which presence are you walking?
The
presence of this world is only deception. But walking in the presence of the
Holy Spirit is just like king David said:
Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your
rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4(NIV)
King
David always loved to be in the presence of God, nevertheless, he never feared a
trial, persecutions or giants! Faith changes the facts. God will always give us
a different view of the facts. David was not looking to the valley. He was looking to God, he believed that God
was with him.
But his delight and desire are
in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the
teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by
night. Psalm 1:2 (AMP)
 |
| No more breast cancer. Praise the Name of Jesus |
King
David used to be in the presence of God by thinking of His Words by day and
by night. Likewise we should not practice the presence of satan by thinking on
his words and lusts.
Some
people may know everything about a certain singer, movie star or who won the
last game, but they never think about the Word of God.
If
you seek the presence of God, you will walk in His Spirit and you will fear
no evil.
But
if you walk in the presence of the spirit of the world...expect all sort of evil.
I
pray that you will decide the best, that’s the Presence of the Lord.
God
bless you right now in Jesus Name
