Word of the Day
Beloved, no matter whether you are rejoicing or in pain…no matter whether you are confused or resolute…no matter if you are obedient or disobedient My help is available. After all, I Am that I Am and nothing has changed. I am in you and you are in Me. How simple yet, how profound. Many times you cry out for more of Me. I am delighted when you do so because it represents the desire of your heart for the one you love; Me.
Actually you already have all of Me you will ever have. When I came to live in you, I did not bring just a portion of Me with the intent to bring the rest when you measured up more…when you somehow became better by fulfilling the law or religious duties. When I came, I came with all of Me. I came with all and I mean all.
Beloved, it is not more of Me that you need. What you really need is the revelation of what you already have; all of Me in the fullness of life and resurrection while you are yet living (Philippians 3:9-12). When you hung out your help wanted sign I answered. I answered and you said, “Yes!” At that moment all was Finished, forever, regardless which means in spite of…no matter what…in any case…anyhow…and in spite of or ignoring setbacks, hindrances or problems (c.f. Encarta Dictionary). Selah
Yes, it is finished. No, I am not far off (John 19:30). As I have told you so many times, “I am near…I am nigh unto your heart.” I saw your “Help Wanted” sign and drew near to you…I chose you first (John 15:16). My breath is upon your neck. My voice is whispering in your ear, “Have faith for I have overcome and so have you.”…Read Complete Love Letter
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles (Psalms 34:17 Amplified)
GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble (Psalms 46:1 Amplified)
When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit (John 19:30 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, I praise You that You have made it possible for me to take all You have offered regardless of the situation. Your help is not situational when it comes to the Believer. I am born again. I am a child of the Father. This is what matters. Even when I am acting unbecoming and sometimes rebellious, Your love never changes. You are attentive to the sound of My voice. Not only are You always near to me, You are in me, Christ the hope of all glory. As I draw near to You in my thoughts and actions, You draw near to me in visible and manifest ways. As the leaves of a tree respond to the winds and sing a rustling song, so my heart responds to the movement of Your Spirit.
Lord, you have sent ministering angels…breakthrough angels on my behalf to do Your will. You have answered every “Help Wanted” sign I have cried out to You. As we walk together…as I walk with You…abide in You, the darkness around me will be permeated with Your light. Together we will light up the darkness. The work of the Cross is finished and the resurrection life of Christ is in me, for I am an overcomer for the Overcomer truly lives in me. No setback, no hindrance, no problem…not even death can separate me from the finished, revelatory work of the Cross. My heart is open to the nearness of the Lord and is attentive to the sound of His voice. I have drawn near to the Lord and He has drawn near to me. Amen.
Reflect and Journal
- Describe what you believe about the ministering angels the Father has given to you and how they relate to you and your walk with the Lord.
- Have you been putting up help wanted signs for the Lord? In what areas do you desire help in your life?
- Examine the definition for “regardless of” and ponder how you have let any of the exceptions such as hindrances, set-backs or problems limit what you believe God can and wants to do?
- Do you think being obedient or disobedient has any bearing of Christ in you the hope of glory? Is Christ diminished by your behavior? In other words…is Christ an ever changing chameleon due to something you do or don’t do, or is He unchanging and ever-present to do abundantly beyond what you could ever imagine regardless of your behavior? If He is a chameleon, then you have power greater than God which is impossible. We must be careful to not reduce God to our own understanding being careful to not use grace as an excuse to sin. However, we must remember He conquered sin and lives in and has made us perfect in Him.
