As for the promise which I cut covenant with you when you came out of Egypt: My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear! Haggai 2:5.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I want to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived. To live the most beautiful life possible this side of Heaven you must be in constant fellowship with Me. Eternal life can begin now, for eternal life is to know Me, the one true God, and the One I sent to save you, reconcile us, and bring you back into My bosom so we are of one heart and one mind in our purpose, plans, and the exercise of dominion power. John 17:3; John 1:18; John 14:1-3. You are to reign with Me through Christ in this life and forever.
For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17.
And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:5.
You will understand My way of being in constant and never ceasing communion with you even now more fully at the end of this Life Lesson, but first look at this greeting and you will know what I am speaking of:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14.
The promise of My abiding presence with you, in you, and on you. This has always been My desire since the beginning—to dwell among you and be your God and Father and you to be My people, My children, My family, for all to know Me intimately from the least to the greatest—from infants to the elderly, and all in between, until you are forever in My presence and see Me face to face. To know Me is to be filled with love, grace, truth, and beauty. The majesty of holiness, crowned with glory and honor, are to adorn your life.
O LORD (Yahavah), our Lord (Adonai), how majestic is Your name in all the earth, who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength because of Your adversaries, to make the enemy and the revengeful cease. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! Psalm 8.
Often you see Me refer to Myself as the God of Israel or the Holy One of Israel. What does that mean? Think about it. What did I do for and with Israel? Because Abraham, whom I called the father of many nations, entered fellowship with Me so much so that I called him My friend and preached the gospel to him ahead of time, I chose his line to be the one, that according to the flesh, My Son as your Messiah, would be birthed into the earth as man. And I made Covenant with him.
And it was through the promised son of Isaac that Jacob, whose name I changed to “Israel,” was born. And from him twelve sons were born who made up the twelve tribes of Israel. And those twelve sons and their families with Jacob went down to Egypt during the time when Joseph ruled Egypt as second only to Pharaoh. But in that land they eventually became slaves to the Egyptians.
When the descendants of Israel cried to Me to be set free in their affliction, because of My covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their descendants, I came down to save them and I chose Moses as the one to partner with Me to release My power in partnership with Me upon Egypt to let My people go free. And with miracles, signs and wonders as no one had seen before or since, I redeemed My people from slavery and brought them out healed and laden with riches to lead them into the land I had promised them through their ancestor Abraham, a beautiful land flowing with milk and honey in which they were to flourish as a great nation. And as such they would be a light to the nations to draw the whole world into knowing My goodness and love for those who kept My Word and joined in fellowship, that is, Covenant, with Me. Like the golden lampstand as My royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart they were to enlighten a world lost in darkness and lead them into My marvelous light.
And when they left Egypt redeemed by the blood of the Passover lamb and healed, made whole, and wealthy by the body of the lamb, I made a promise to them requested by Moses. It was the promise of My abiding presence with them. And I renewed that promise when I redeemed the nation out of Babylon and brought them back to the promised land after 70 years of captivity when I funded the rebuilding of the temple so I could again dwell in their midst as I had in the tabernacle of Moses, and again I promised them to shake the heavens and earth to fund that project, as I had with Moses, for the gold and the silver are Mine. And this time I would shake it out as the LORD of hosts and My angelic army would bring it to My church, to My dwelling place in the Spirit.
As for the promise which I made covenant with you when you came out of Egypt: My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear! Haggai 2:5.
When did I make that promise? First on Mt. Horeb (also know as Mt. Sinai), I told Moses I would be with him enabling him to redeem My people from slavery. And when I had brought them out and they sinned against Me and turned to idols after they had heard My voice on Mt. Sinai, I told Moses I would send an angel with them to clear the Promised Land for them so they would conquer but I would not go with them. And what was the response of Moses? If I would not go up with them, he was not budging. He would go nowhere without the joy, protection, strength, direction, merciful goodness, and lovingkindness of My presence. And My response?
“My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14.
And after that I showed Moses My glory (My goodness) as I covered him with My hand in the cleft of the rock. And I made a promise of My abiding presence:
Moses said, “If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord (Adonai), I pray, let the Lord (Adonai) go along in our midst, even though the people are so obstinate, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your own possession.” Then God said, “Behold, I am going to make a covenant. Before all your people I will perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people among whom you live will see the working of the LORD (Yahavah), for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.” Exodus 34:9-10.
And many years later, that Passover meal that I instituted with Moses became the perpetual memorial I promised when My Son confirmed and made it eternal by redeeming you from the slavery of sin and death as the full expression of the true Lamb of the Passover who takes away the sins of the world and has healed all by His stripes and wounds. And through His redemption of you unto eternal life the fullness of the promise of My abiding presence was fulfilled in the Holy Spirit not only being on you but in you. You each became the dwelling of My abiding presence. Not in a separate place or temple behind a veil in the holy of holies, but each of you have Me with you night and day from now through all eternity.
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. John 14:15-17.
I am there by My Spirit in your heart to fellowship with you without ceasing from when you receive Jesus as Lord by faith. And I am with you wherever you are now and eternally. You have nothing to fear. You have My abiding presence in and with and on you. You are encompassed by Love within and without.
Why would you neglect so great a salvation and try to live alone without My input? By My Spirit in you I can teach you all things, remind you of all I have said just when you need the Word to revive you, comfort you, help you, reveal things to you, give you wisdom, and deliver you. You can be enjoying your life together with Me, healed, blessed, favored, and never without the solution to everything and anything that comes to you in your life.
Do not grieve My Spirit in you by constantly complaining and never listening to the answer that would help you make your life beautiful. Never blaspheme My Spirit by attributing to Me the things the unclean spirits (demons) do, such as bring sickness, poverty, suffering, and eternal death.
I love you so much I want to be with you without ceasing. Do you want to abide with Me and Me with you now and forever? If you do, just turn inward and talk with Me in the sanctuary of your spirit within you, the core of you, the center of your being, and I will respond. Jesus has pulled you back into My heart, pull Me now into yours.
