Practicing YESHUA's Presence

The Name Jesus which is YESHUA in Hebrew literarily means "YAHWEH is our Saviour"; which is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is our SAVIOUR! Every time we call on the Name of Jesus, we are calling on God to save us. This is God's Job Description. In whatever circumstances we may be in; financial, physical, emotional-we can call on YESHUA and Almighty God Himself will save us.

As we call unto YESHUA, He will reveal more and more of HIMSELF, who is the mystery revealed through GRACE. All the entirety of His finished work on the cross. A fuller and complete revelation of righteousness!

God is ALL Powerful; but if we are not confident that He is interested in our success, His power would not be able to work in and through and for us.

Mat 1:22-23 Now all this happened so that might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the LORD by the prophet, saying, (23) "Behold, the virgin shall conceive in her womb, and will bear a son. And they will call His name Emmanuel," which being interpreted is, God with us.

His name also means EMMANUEL which is GOD WITH US.

For the JEWISH mind, when we say "The LORD IS WITH YOU" it means to say that they become successful in every area of life. We can see in the OT that whenever the LORD was with them, they were successful in battles and were never defeated but when God was not with them, it was otherwise.

Practice His Presence And See His Power

It is one thing to know through our mind and knowledge that Jesus is with us and another thing to be conscious of His Presence.

We cannot go by feelings but by the truth and the truth is God promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. It's His NAME! Immanuel!

The best time to practice is when we feel like Jesus is 100,000 miles away. Feelings aren't based on the truth. They are based on facts. God's word is TRUTH!

Gen 39:3 Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how
the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.

Can we imagine ourselves in that position? Every project, assignment, errand we undertake becomes prosperous? Our hands becoming hands of blessing? Our families, company; we are a blessing waiting to happen.

Col 1:27-28

Even POTPHAR (A Heathen) could see it!

Start resting in His unmerited favour and start seeing His manifested presence and glory upon everything we touch!

No Middle Ground with Jesus
By: Ps. Abel Phillips

The Two Types
There is no "middle of the road" position when it comes to Christ's view of life, death, and eternity. Jesus declares that He is the One who controls entrance into Heaven. He says that He is the Author of salvation, the Judge of the eternal destiny of every creature in this universe.

It is good to look at some of the contrasts Jesus gave as He taught His longest message we call the Sermon on the Mount.
1. In Matthew 6:19-21 Jesus describes 2 Types of Banks: earth or Heaven;
2. In Matthew 6:22-23 Jesus describes 2 Types of Eyes: good or bad;
3. In Matthew 6:24 Jesus describes 2 Types of Masters: God or mammon;
4. In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus describes:
 2 Types of Gates: wide or small;
 2 Types of Roads: broad or narrow;
 2 Types of Destinations: destruction or life;
 2 Types of Travelers: many or few;
5. In Matthew 7:15-20 Jesus describes 2 Types of Trees: fruitful or fruitless
6. In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus describes 2 Types of Lifestyles: those who say the right things or those who do His will;
7. In Matthew 7:24-29 Jesus describes 2 Types of Foundations: rock or
sand;
8 In all of Christ's stories He alludes to 2 Inevitable Ends: being throw into fire and entering the kingdom of heaven.

Ps. 78:72 – The heart of integrity & skillful hand is needed to lead

Ephesians 3:19: to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
And to be full of God is to be full of everything God is to you and has for you. To be full of God is to come to a place of life, health, peace, prosperity — total wellness.

Also, when you are conscious of how much God loves you and you become filled with the fullness of God, what follows is the next verse — God doing exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think, according to the power that works in you. (Ephesians 3:20) You will experience the tremendous blessings of God exploding in your life! You will become a blessing magnet!
