When He Shows Up

Don’t live alone. The Lord will walk with you if you ask. Seek His presence more than His miracles for your life.

When He shows up.  That is my message for today.

Moses had an encounter with God that I wonder if many or any of us have had anything like it.  Moses had visited God on the mountain and had returned with the two tablets containing God’s commandments to the people.  While he was away, the people had sinned and turned away from God.

Moses interceded for the people and asked God to forgive them.  Moses actually asked God to promise that His presence would go with the people if they were to leave the valley.  Luke 33:14-15 tells it this way.  “And God said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.  And Moses said to God, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up from hence.”

Moses was very wise.  He knew that the people would be considered nothing unless God was with them.  And If God was with them, it would show all the people around at the time that they had the grace of God.  It would show all the people of the earth that they were God’s people, and He was their God.

We pray for many things.  But do we pray for the simple presence of the Lord to be with us wherever we are?  Do we pray for His presence to be so strong around us that the world would see the essence of His power and His glory?

Learn to ask the Lord sometimes for the simple gift of His presence to go with you where ever you walk.  You will be amazed at how things will change for you.

When He walks into the room of your life, sickness will have no place to stay. He will watch over those who would watch over your health.

When He walks into the room of your life, you may get burned by some things or by someone, but you will come through it never smelling like smoke.

When He walks into the room of your life, you may walk in the same shoes along the same road for many days, but your shoes and your clothes will not wear out.

When He walks into the room of your life, you will not be drowned by the storms of life that are sure to come your way.

When He walks into the room of your life, your darkness will be turned to light and your light turned to joy.

When He walks into the room of your life, some may claim a victory over you in many ways, but you will never be defeated in any way.

When He walks into the room of your life, relationships with others may come and go but Love for you will be with you always.

Moses had the sense to ask God to go with them.  In this way he knew God would be present to see all their needs before they had to pray for their needs.

For sure, there will be times when many of us will be sick, we may be mistreated by others, we may work hard but not have what we need for the things must have, we may have dark clouds all around us and many will attack us and claim victory over us.

Learn to pray that the Lord would walk with you in all things and in every way.  He is never surprised by anything happening with us.  When we ask Him to walk with us, people and things that are against us will be surprised that we are not moved or undone by the things that move and undo others.

When the Lord shows up, people and things that would oppose us will see the miracle of His grace living in us.  They will see that the fire that burns inside us will smother the fires they try to throw at us.  When He shows up with us, others will see the light we bring to  and around all the darkness that tries to cover us.

When the Lord shows up with us, we learn to walk with one hand in His and the other hand raised in praise to Him for the wonder of His grace at work in our lives.  Learn to ask the Lord for more than just the things you need to fix your problems today.

Ask Him for the presence of His presence to go with you.  Let Him know that if He doesn’t go with you, then you don’t want to go alone.  Let Him know you are hesitant to walk anyplace without Him walking with you. 

Learn to stop living and traveling through life alone and calling on Him only when you need His help.  Ask Him to walk with you.  That is the help we all need most but few of us ever think of asking.

When He shows up knowledge and wisdom will come to you while fear and a lack of understanding will flee from you.  When He shows up everything against you will fall back. Ask Him for the presence of His presence.

Live a Delivered Life.  Love you.
