No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. - Joshua 1:5
When God swore He will never leave nor forsake His people, He meant it with a iron-clad guarantee! A double confirmation that He will always be with us. He loves us so much that after Jesus Christ was crucified at the cross, He sent the Holy Spirit to indwell us so that He can be our very present help in times of need. The Holy Spirit is not any less than Jesus the Son or God the Father. He is the third party in a tripartite God.
Under the law, the Holy Spirit will come on a king, priest, prophet, deliverer, and even the disciples and will leave once the assignment was completed. That was how the Holy Spirt operated under law. But under grace, the Holy Spirit comes to indwell in us forever! He will never leave nor forsake us. He comes because of the finished work at the cross by Christ Jesus and a prove that we have been justified.
But that's NOT all. We are talking about Jesus and Abba Father not leaving us nor forsaking us! The Lord Jesus is always with us. We can practice the consciousness of Jesus' presence in our lives. See Him getting involved in our every thought, speech, and action. See Him taking over challenging circumstances. For we are resting upon His shoulders and He is ever so willing to carry us on His shoulders.
The word tells us when Jesus was at Lazarus' tomb that the Heavenly Father always hears Jesus' prayer and Jesus proclaimed loudly for the sake of those that were around Lazarus' tomb. Today, the loving Abba Father always hears our prayer. He loves to hear from us and to commune with us every moment of our lives! If only we would come to Him every moment of our lives. I know it may not be possible to always talk with Abba Father all the times while we are at work or involved in other endeavors, but we can, whenever possible, speak in tongues. That's heavenly language that we can use for building us up.
I know there may be times where we feel and think God is far far away from us. We sometimes think that our thoughts, deeds and speeches are not perfect and as a result of that, we dare not draw near to Abba Father. Know this truth, our closeness to Abba Father is not dependent on our thoughts, deeds and speech but based on the finished work at the cross by Christ Jesus!
It is the precious blood of Jesus that was shed at the cross that qualifies us to be one with God. It is Jesus' resurrection on the third day after His crucifixion that justifies us. And because He took all the curses at the cross, we are ridiculously and irreversibly blessed! We are blessed with the blessings of Abraham.
Beloved of the Lord can always draw near to God anytime, anywhere. The Lord loves to be intimately involved in our every dealing. Be conscious of Jesus' presence in your life and see how He turns things around for our good. Hallelujah!
