Checking into God's Presence... Welcome to another victory over the night, for: it is those who the Lord chose to restore He empowered to see the beauty of another day. "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all He does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.  He fulfils the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy." Psalm 145:17-20  Today has become means of empowerment to be the light unto the Gentiles according to Isaiah 46:6, which states: "I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles". Therefore, this new day is a new covenant specially wrapped and delivered to each of us as a gift by God.  Comparatively, the Gentiles represent a group of non–Jew who claim heritage from Israelites and a term often used to describe the outsiders. You may, be seen as a Child of God, but are you an outsider in His Presence? How do you see today in terms of your presence before God? What does this new day represent; a gift to you or what? Does it remind you about the Lord's covenant, or is it another ploy to cast your vote on the illicit gain of yesterday?  If indeed we have been restored to be a light in the camp of unbelievers, then the presence of today offers you the empowerment to do just that and nothing less! Any violation of this conduct, those who see themselves as children of God will be susceptible to the whims and caprices of the antichrist. Such a person will be dead spiritually and filled with unclean spirits. In Mark 1:21-28, Jesus looked deeper into the unclean spirit's issues, which runs more profound and more against the outward rules. He identified and cast out the "spirits of uncleanliness" that have been haunting their victims. The spirit may have stunted, shunned, denounced, and destroyed people's relationships with one another and with God.  "Do we have the "spirits of uncleanliness" among us today? Of course! Do we need to exorcise them from our midst if we are to be proclaimers of the Gospel of God? Definitely! No church can survive if these spirits remain healthy and strong in their midst. Those spirits will always bring confusion in their reign, and this can only happen when we drop our armor as a Soldier of Christ, abandon the commandments of God and or take it with a pinch of salt. Such degradation will only bring neglect to the covenant which God had provided through the presence of the new day. The perception is that the person will begin to live in the camps of outsiders. As Your Children, oh Lord, let us begin to live according to Your rules and the ordinances Thou gave us. Through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone can strengthen, make us receive the power that offers wisdom, understanding, and spiritual growth. Also, please bring us to the place of rest and comfort and let us experience no more struggles in our lives in Jesus' Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence...
