Present Tense

Read – Psalm 139:1-18

Scripture: “Lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the age.
Amen. (Matthew 28:20).”

Denial: “God has never and will never leave me.”

Affirmation: “There is Only One Power and One Presence, and I
AM one with that power and presence.”

God is omnipresence. God is all the presence there is. There is no presence outside of God. God is the everywhere, evenly present, Spirit of Absolute Good. We do not use the limiting adjective,
omnipresent, to describe God. Instead, we say, omnipresence, because no other being can make such a claim. 

Omni means all. As human beings, we are not omnipresent. Our bodies cause us to be in a particular place at a particular time. Although we are not omnipresent, as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ Jesus, our presence makes a difference (Romans 8:17).

When we are conscious of the I AM of our being, we can change
any environment from negative to positive, just by being present.
Sometimes we need not even have to open our mouths. All we have
to do is show up and our very presence transforms the atmosphere.
Notice, the words, I AM, are in the present tense. I AM is always
present, right here and right now. When we decree and declare our
good through affirmations, they are always in the present tense
because I AM is always present. God is Jehovah Shammah, which
means I AM that I AM there, or I AM that I AM Presence (Ezekiel
48:35). We are one with that presence. That presence has never left
us and will never forsake us.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

There’s a Grace on Your Life

  There’s a Grace on Your Life "By grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."    Ephesians 2:8 (KSB)    In Ephesians chapter 2, one word stands out repeatedly: grace . But what is grace? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His love poured out on us, not based on anything we've done or failed to do. It’s not about what we think or don’t think. It’s simply a gift. A beautiful, divine surprise.  Imagine receiving an unexpected bonus at work, you did your job, and suddenly you're given more than you earned. That’s grace. It comes when you least expect it and fills you with joy and wonder. This is how God extends His grace freely, abundantly, and lovingly.  Throughout Ephesians 2, Paul highlights how grace is woven into our salvation. “By grace you are saved” means you didn’t do it yourself. Salvation is the awakening in your spirit to the truth that  you are God's beloved .   ...

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...
