In His Presence

 

Fit For Battle II

I Corinthians 1:9 –

 

As we have fellowship with God’s son, he is faithful for us. It is all about fellowship with him. Our fellowship with Jesus shows in our relationships with others. Our best example of this truth is marriage. “Two become one flesh.” As we become one with the father we will lose our identity, we will become more like him everyday. We have to change for battle. When Moses was with God his countenance changed.

 

I John 3:6 –

 

We have righteousness through the presence of his son in our lives. Righteousness means here to have the ability to stand before our father in heaven with out guilt or sense of inferiority (I’m not worthy). Our worth comes from the son and in his presence and his work we can go to the throne of God with our requests (communication in battle).

 

Galations 4:6-7 –

 

The Holy Spirit has born witness with our spirits that we are the sons of God now. If we’re not, then we wouldn’t know of his presence, that he is real, and that we are a son. A son hears his father. (In battle you are not alone)

 

I Corinthians 2:10-13 –

 

In His presence the spirit speaks to us and shows us all things to come. In his presence we can hear deep spiritual truths if we will be quiet and listen. Most of the time we’re too busy talking to hear anything. If you’re in a battle do you not want to hear your instructions? Learn to listen, God has a plan.

 

John 3-6

 

We were born again by his spirit. We need an understanding before we go into battle we have a legal right because we are sons. A son possesses everything of the father. That which is born of flesh is flesh and they will never know of his presence. But you who are of the spirit know of his presence because you are sons! A son seeks safely in the presence of his father. Most of the time when a battle is raging we seek our own wisdom instead of his presence. What could we really do without him?

 

Acts 10:16-26 –

 

Paul demonstrates listening to the lord for instruction. He also demonstrated what to do when trouble is all around and the battle seems to have ended. Paul and Silas got into the presence of God and the earth shook and the chains fell off. In his presence, when you’ve tried everything else, freedom will come.

 

Psalms 68:1-2 –

 

In his presence our enemies are scattered. Tormenting spirits cannot stay in his presence. Remember Saul and David.

 

Luke 1:37 –

 

With God nothing is impossible. When you’re in a battle and you don’t know where to turn or what to do, get into his presence. There is safety and instruction. There is peace and comfort. There is a hiding place away from all of the trouble.

 

Psalms 91 –

 

The lord will fight our battles. In his presence there is nothing to be afraid of. He is in control, no evil can have it’s way with us in his presence. All fear is gone, there is a security and a knowing that as we trust him, and call on him, he will answer us and deliver us from every battle in our life.

 

Remember that no weapon formed against us will prosper. And if God be for us who can be against us? It is in him that we have victory in battle. We must have his presence first, then he will anoint us for service. His presence is inside and the anointing covers. The power of God follows his presence.
