YOU CAN HAVE THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST IN YOUR MIDST ALWAYS
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. |
|
(Psalm 16:11) |
The cares of this life will weigh you down and
keep you from the presence of the Lord. Whenever your eyes or heart are on
the Lord Jesus Christ, He will always be in your midst. There will always
be many distractions and storms in your lifetime that stand between you and His
Presence. When your eyes and heart are on the cares, persecutions and
circumstances of this life then they are off of the Lord Jesus Christ. At
that moment you created a presence of anxiety and discouragement that leaves you
powerless.
| So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he
walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying,
"Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and
caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" |
|
(Matthew 14:29-31) |
You can create the environment for the Lord
Jesus Christ to be in your midst. The Spirit of the Lord will always be in
your midst if you keep your eyes and heart on Him regardless of the
circumstance. He is your Peace and your Joy. The Apostle Paul
teaches in 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is liberty." The greatest way to keep His presence
around you is for you to fellowship, praise, and pray always. That keeps
your eyes and heart on Him continually. When the presence of the Lord
Jesus Christ is in your midst there will always be peace and liberty.
| "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In
the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome
the world." |
|
(John 16:33) |
| For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing
are there. |
|
(James 3:16) |
| . . . casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. |
|
(1 Peter 5:7) |
| Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; |
|
(Philippines 4:6) |
