The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
When you are totally one with someone there are no hindrances, hang-ups or hiccups between you. You come with confidence to join in any enterprise or just to sit and visit together. You know that you will not separate for the relationship is too deep to sever. And that is covenant. And that is what I have with you. And I sealed it in the blood of My Son, for that blood released you from your sins and made us One in Him.
I am committed to you in an everlasting bond that is two deep to be broken. When you believed in the good news of your salvation and came under the headship of Jesus as the body of Christ on earth I sealed you in Him with the Holy Spirit as a pledge of your total redemption of spirit, soul and body forever. You are forever in My care.
And that is what I want to assure you of today. When you became Mine, I became yours and I will never leave you or forsake you. I am always right there with you to be your source of abundant life.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9.
I have made a commitment to be with you in Covenant love. No matter what you do I am faithful. That is who I am. I will never leave you or forsake you. And My Son is with you always until the end of the age showing our oneness in Him where humanity and divinity again join with no separation.
Each morning My mercies are new, great is My faithfulness. You are the apple of My eye. Most precious and most beautiful. My delight. I gave My Son to reconcile us that I could make you righteous with My own righteousness in Him. He took all your sins. They are gone. For those in Christ Jesus it is as if you never sinned. Not just forgiven, but blameless in My sight. Ephesians 1:4.
If you call on Me I will answer you (Jeremiah 33:3), and if you draw close to Me, I will draw close to you (James 4:8). I do not lie (Titus 1:2). I cannot. Numbers 23:19.
My presence is not a feeling. It is a commitment. I have committed Myself to be with you always until the end of the age and to never leave you or forsake you. You can rely on this. I am with you no matter what. Let Me take care of you. Relax. I will make everything work together for good for you. Everything. Be anxious and fearful about nothing. I have you covered—past, present and future. I am, I was and I am to come. Exodus 3:15; Revelation 1:8.
Can a mother forget her child, the infant she bore in her womb? But even if she should forget, I will never forget you. Isaiah 49:15. I have written your name in the palm of My Hand. Isaiah 49:16. There is no snatching out of My Hand. John 10:29.
From My presence where can you flee? Psalm 139:7. Wherever you go I am there. Psalm 139:8-12. I know when you sit and when you stand. I am as close as your heart. And I am love. Take refuge in My everlasting arms. Let Me take you with Me on eagle’s wings.
My Son is preparing a place for you and when it is ready He will come back and take you with Him to your place in glory. In the twinkling of an eye. High in the clouds. You have a wonderful future to look forward to and you can begin to live in the light now. And light produces all goodness and fruitfulness.
I am faithful to you. Forever. I have espoused you to Me forever in faithfulness and love. I have committed Myself to you. You can rest in Me. You can draw all you need from Me, your Father and spouse.
As Hagar learned, I am the God who really sees. There is no pit so deep that I will not see you and raise you up if you will raise your eyes to Me. I can heal all your ills and solve all your problems. Attach yourself to Me, open your heart to Me and you will never lack again.
Drink deeply from My delightful river of living water flowing to you from My throne. You will never thirst again.
Know that I am faithful to you. I have espoused you to Me forever.
When you seek Me with all your heart, you will find Me with you. Jeremiah 29:13-14. I am not far from any one of you. Don’t be running around worried and distressed looking for Me. If you invite Me in, I am as close as your heart. Revelation 3:20.
I AM. Exodus 3:14. I heard the cry of the Israelites in their slavery in Egypt and I came down to save them. Exodus 3:7-8. I have not changed. I am not deaf. Isaiah 59:1. I made the ear, will I not hear? I made the eye, will I not see? Psalm 94:9.
Do not ever feel abandoned or alone. I have made a commitment to you and I will not break it. I am with you. I am there. I hear you. I answer.
I am faithful. No matter whether you are faithful to Me or not, I am faithful to you. My Covenant is forever.
If you do what I tell you to do in My Word, you will get the results I promise. My Word never fails. It is established forever in Heaven. It will all come to pass.
And it is the same for you. Loving Me does not have to be a feeling. It is a commitment. It is a foundation to build your life on. If you love Me, you keep My Word. John 14:21, 23. That is the spirit of faith—believe in your heart and speak with your mouth. My Word will give you life and health. For you who love Me, My Word is final authority and you do not take it lightly. By the stripes of Jesus you are healed. I send My Word to heal you and deliver you from the pit. Rest in that. Speak it out.
If you are worried I will leave you alone or if you feel abandoned, there is only one thing you need to do and you can be sure that I am with you. Remember what My Son told you? He said that I was with Him, that I never left Him alone, because He always did what pleased Me. John 8:29. Do you know what pleases Me? It pleases Me when you hang onto My Word as your anchor of hope and refuse to give in to the fear and depression but instead look to the victory and the promise you find in My Word. And hope does not disappoint. Life and death are in the power of your tongue and My Words are eternal life. Speak them even when it does not seem like they could come to pass and you shall find that all My promises are YES to you in Christ Jesus. There is cause for rejoicing here. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give constant thanks, this is My Will for you in Christ Jesus. A cheerful heart is a good medicine but a depressed spirit dries up the bones. Do not harm yourself with depressed, fearful thoughts, I have translated you from the darkness to the Kingdom of My Son, which is the Kingdom of Light. He is the Light of the world. And when you cherish My Word in your heart and speak it and walk in it, I come and make My dwelling place with you and in you. John 14:23. When you take Jesus as your LORD, I pour My Spirit into your heart and I come to live in you by My Spirit. So you have Me with you every day, all day and all night. You can speak with Me and get counsel, comfort, and exhortation from Me at anytime of the day or the night. It will make your life sweet.
You do not have to feel this. Just know it. I am there within you. Talk with Me, cling to Me, and you will find Me. I will reveal to you the treasures of My Heart. It can be a wonderful, powerful, beautiful life. Take Me at My Word and believe. I will not leave you or forsake you. I am with you. Know it. Believe it. Act upon it. Rest secure in Me.
I have you covered. I go before you and I am your rearguard. And I am with you right where you are. Now.
Again I say to you, do not let yourself worry that I am not there with you. I AM. Just do what I tell you, you will find Me. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give constant thanks. How can you fast while the bridegroom is with you? It is time for celebration. I raised Christ from the dead. He is with you always till the end of the age. And then you are forever with Him. And Me. And the Holy Spirit. All one but three. And you are one in us in Christ Jesus. Forever.
Let us celebrate together every day. Start now.
I love you.
