Have you ever sat down to spend time with the Lord and felt that He wanted to reveal something to you? Say something to you?

This morning as I spent my quiet time with God I started to pray ‘Heavenly Father’ as I said those words something stirred in me. It was like God was giving me a fresh revelation of our relationship. I sat and thought about the word Father, He is my Father, He is your Father. He is Abba. We have such a close relationship with Him that we can call him Abba, the closest interpretation to this is Daddy. Yes the tears welled up at the thought of that because it filled me with joy.  I felt joy rise up as I realised again the impact of those words. HE IS MY FATHER, my Heavenly Father.  I suddenly felt very safe, secure, loved and not alone and in the very presence of God.

Why am I telling you this? Well, I could have done with this revelation during last week and maybe God had been trying to reveal this to me but I wasn’t listening. Do you have that problem too. Do you find that the troubles of this life, the lies of the evil one, our lack of trust blocks out all that our Heavenly Father has for us or wants to say to us?

As I started to write this blog I ‘heard’  ‘I am with you always’.

‘I am with you always’ seemed so appropriate to mention too as…….

Firstly, as I mentioned above we can spend so much time and energy on focusing on the lies that come into our heads, the devil knows where to hit us and only last week he hit me hard again exactly where he knew I would fail , or thought I would, as this time I still felt the fear but did it anyway. ( only just though i hate to admit it but i nearly didnt)  I believed God wanted me to do something and as I did it He calmed me and enabled me to do it.  We become anxious don’t we? , don’t believe we can do something that we know God has asked us to do or called us to do, ‘ I cant do that!’ ‘Im not good enough’ come some of the traps we fall into. We can cause ourselves endless heartache and tears.   Why do we do this to ourselves? We need to stop! We need to turn to our Heavenly Father and trust Him. Give it all to Him and leave it with Him. Dont let the devil win, again!!

Wherever we go , whatever we do, Whatever happens in our lives He is with us. When trials and temptations come our way , turn to Him, turn to your Father and keep your eyes fixed on Him. He wont leave you or forsake you, He is your Father. If things are happening in your life and you don’t understand why,  ask Him. If you are feeling far away from Him at the moment, talk to Him because He is your Father, if you are scared, anxious don’t listen to the lies of the evil one, know that your Heavenly Father is there, turn to Him, read His word, claim His word  but let Him know, whatever it is, that you trust Him because He cares for you.

Secondly, We have just had Easter and remembered that our dear Lord Jesus died for us, then yesterday we celebrated that our Lord Jesus has risen. Death and sin has been defeated. Amen. Forty days from the resurrection Jesus ascended into Heaven He said,  He is with us always, even unto the end of the age.

We are never alone. Our Father is with us wherever we go. He will not leave us or forsake us.

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. AMEN to that
