HE HAS GIVEN US ALL THINGS.....
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the trouble. Therefore we will not
fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of
the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with
the swelling thereof. Selah. " Psalm 46: 1-3 He is our very present help in the time of
trouble.............. Being led by His Spirit , partaking in His divine nature and walking in the
Spirit, using the gifts He has bestowed upon us, will move us to greater understanding as
this world is moving in transitions. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever more.
We are not to fear, we are to trust Him for all circumstances. Some of us don't even have a
clue as to what others are going through, it is for this reason, we yield and submit to God.
I love His Spirit and how he moves, the earth and everything is His I love the fact that he
doesn't need us to bring the seasons, or cause the sun to shine, these things are not
dependant on us. He is God and He will do whatever He pleases. He has sought to give us
what we need, as we ask of Him continually. We are not to fear, He knows all things, we
are to partake of Him. He has given gifts to men and women. His presence is His covering.
At times of hardship of body, soul and spirit, we need help from God, and he has given His
church this manifestation on His Spirit. "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make
glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst
of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her, and that right early. " Gods residence is
His dwelling place, His dwelling place is His presence, it is there that the rivers flow, His
river of Life. His presence is the tabernacle of rest. For just a few short moments you can
find rest as He tabernacles over you. His residence is Heaven, and one only needs to look
up at times to see the majesty and awesomeness of our God. God did not create all things
for us to not see. He has manifested Himself through all things. He has manifested Himself
through His people. We are all to move in what He has given us to do. Apostles, prophets,
evangelists, pastors and teachers. He has formed through His ministry and created for His
service. We are moved by prophecy, service, teaching, exhorting, giving, ruling and mercy.
What can you from God movtivate others to do. God has covered everything, we are to
utilize what He has created and given. Do not expect others to do what you are called to
do. Do not try to do what you are not equipped to do. Do what He has given you to do and
with all your might. We are not to strive against , but to strive in doing what we are
equipped to do. God is in the marketplaces as well as in the fields. He is everywhere and
those who know Him, are placed specifically by His very hand.
Our God is a God of mercy and truth. These two things move me. What moves you in
God? We are to concentrate and receive from God wisdom and understanding as to why
we are here. We are to dwell with our Lord, and allow His presence to shape and mold us,
so that we can do as He has created us to do. He is for us, not against. As we reach this
weekend, some will still work, but it is resting in the presence of God and allowing Him to
make necessary changes in our lives, that will help us endure for the future, even if it is
called Monday. May I suggest visiting someone this weekend, or reaching out to help cut
grass, serve a meal, visit a sick one or take time out for yourself. May I suggest you learn a
new song, or plant a flower, pet a horse, share a meal. God is in all these things............and
if one can find a moment to make a change, God can make a change in us. Write a soldier,
send a package, bless your enemy. What can we do.................and what will we do.
- Matthew 5:3-9
He is Our Dwelling Place
Father God, we thank you for your love to us. May we be filled with that Love and may
the world see, that no matter what, we are to compel them to come to Jesus Christ, as he
is the way, the truth and the life. May all that you are, pour through what you have asked
us to be for such a time as this. May your ultimate plans be done by your supernatural
people. May your manifested presence change and compel all to see you in this hour. You
are the same, yesterday, today and forever. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
In Covenant Keeping,
Diane
