Expect a breakthrough of success!

Don’t allow yourself to grow weary of doing good.  Doing good renews the inward man day by day.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 6:

7 God will never be mocked! For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest.

8 The harvest you reap reveals the seed that you planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self-life into this natural realm, you can expect a harvest of corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap beautiful fruits that grow from the Everlasting Life of the Spirit.

9 And don’t allow yourselves to be weary in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming!

We are to be tenacious in planting good seeds.  The word tenacious means: persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired.  Our faith should be described as tenacious in expecting the manifestation of things hoped for.

10 Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!

Being a blessing to others in a consistent manner is like adding fertilizer to a field of seeds you have planted.  It encourages faster results.

On the other hand, words of unbelief can slow down or even eliminate a good harvest.  Does a farmer dig up the seed before its time of production wondering if it will produce?  Words have power!  Let’s consider Zechariah.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke 1:

6 Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God’s Eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord’s commandments and regulations.

7 They had no children because Elizabeth was unable to conceive, and they were both very old.

8 One day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week.

9 As was the custom of the priests, he was chosen by lot to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense.

10 While the incense was being burned, a great crowd stood outside, praying.

11 While Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the incense altar.

12 Zechariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him.

13 But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.

14 You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,

15 for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.

16 And he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God.

17 He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the Godly.”

An angel of THE LORD appears to him, and he immediately looks at the natural rather than the Supernatural encounter.

18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I be sure this will happen? I’m an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years.”

What more could you want?  You are in the most Sacred place in Israel, an angel shows up and announces that your prayers have been answered.  Not only that, it is Gabriel standing before you!

19 Then the angel said, “I am Gabriel! I stand in the very Presence of God. It was HE Who sent me to bring you this good news!

20 But now, since you didn’t believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born. For My Words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time.“

Zechariah was made to remain silent so that his unbelief would not adversely affect the answer to prayer or delay its fulfillment.  Let’s contrast him with Abraham.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 4:

19 In spite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, Abraham’s faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarah were incapable of conceiving a child.

20-21 He never stopped believing God’s promise, for he was made strong in his faith to father a child. And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God!

22 So now you can see why Abraham’s faith was credited to his account as righteousness before God.

23 And this declaration was not just spoken over Abraham,

24 but also over us. For when we believe and embrace the ONE Who brought Our Lord Jesus back to Life, perfect righteousness will be credited to our account as well.

We must not allow unbelief to adversely affect the breakthrough in whatever we are praying for.  Let patience have its perfect work and know that FATHER will cause the breakthrough to come forth at the proper time.

GOD has unlimited resources at HIS disposal!

What limits us from receiving those resources here on earth?  While in His earthly ministry, Jesus had no lack.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 17:

24 After they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the tax for the upkeep of the temple, like the rest of us?”

25 “Of course He does,” Peter answered. When Peter walked into the house, and before he had a chance to speak, Jesus spoke up and said, “Peter, I have a question for you. Who pays tolls or taxes to a king? Is tax collected from the king’s own children, or from his subjects?”

26 “From his subjects,” Peter answered. Jesus replied, “That’s right. The children get off free without paying taxes.

27 But so that we don’t offend them, go to the lake and throw out your hook, and the first fish that rises up will have a coin in its mouth. It will be the exact amount you need to pay the temple tax for both of us.”

Jesus had no issue in paying tax, not only for Himself, but for Peter as well.

In Matthew chapter 16, Jesus had a teaching moment with the disciples (and us):

5 Later, as Jesus and his disciples crossed over to the other side of Lake Galilee, the disciples realized they had forgotten to bring any loaves of bread.

6 Jesus spoke up and said, “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

7 Thinking Jesus was scolding them over not bringing bread, they began to discuss it among themselves.

8 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “You have such little faith! Why are you arguing with one another about having no bread?

9 Are you so slow to understand? Have you forgotten the miracle of feeding the five thousand families and how each of you ended up with a basket full of fragments?

10 And how seven loaves of bread fed four thousand families with baskets left over?

11 Don’t you understand? I’m not talking about bread, but I’m warning you to avoid the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

12 Then finally they realized he wasn’t talking about yeast found in bread, but the error of the teachings of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

Multiplying the loaves and the fishes were to instruct the disciples of Jesus’ connection to a world that has absolutely no lack but also that it is a world of extreme abundance.  They were restricting themselves to worldly thinking rather than Heavenly reality.

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 13:

3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His Hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,

4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

Jesus was aware of two things before He washed the disciples’ feet.  He had access to unlimited resources; The FATHER had given all things into His Hands.  As a Son, He had access to FATHER’S Kingdom.  Secondly, He is giving us who are trustworthy, access to all things as well.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

The purpose of the unlimited resources is not for building personal kingdoms.  A mature son makes the best servant because he knows FATHER’S Intent for the resources.  It is to bring forth Heaven to earth.  The purpose of a son serving is different than the serving of a servant.  The servant simply follows orders without understanding. 

The son serves with hope because he can see the future.  The son is preparing something for the purposes of GOD in the earth, ultimately to bring forth HIS Kingdom.  A mature son will be given access to the unlimited resources of Heaven because he has been found to be trustworthy at each level of access.

GOD has intentions, purposes, and plans that are yet unfolding and a mature son has that in his heart and in mind as he is serving mankind.

At the Judgment Seat of Christ, we will be duly recompensed!

When the temporary no longer exists in our lives, what will be left to judge?  Jesus will not look at the plaques on our wall nor will He consider the value of the physical assets we retained until death.  He will look at our works, our fruitfulness on behalf of HIS Kingdom.  Paul was passionate about this revelation, so am I as I write to you each day. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 5:

1 We are convinced that even if these bodies we live in are folded up at death like tents, we will still have a God-built home that no human hands have built, which will last forever in the Heavenly realm.

2 We inwardly sigh as we live in these physical “tents,” longing to put on a new body for our life in Heaven,

3 in the belief that once we put on our new “clothing” we won’t find ourselves “naked.”

4 So, while living in this “tent,” we groan under its burden, not because we want to die but because we want these new bodies. We crave for all that is mortal to be swallowed up by Eternal Life.

Our worldly possessions are temporary and will be of no value in Eternity.  Why accumulate “stuff” to fill up closets, rooms, and storage units?  Each of us needs to discern between necessity and excess, me included!  In the past, my ego bought items that I really didn’t need.  They ended up being classified as “clutter” to be given away or thrown away.

5 And this is no empty hope, for God Himself is the One Who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, He has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee.

I have deep gratitude for having the Presence and manifestation of The Holy Spirit in my life.

6 That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master—

7 for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes.

8 We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home with the Lord.

9 So whether we live or die we make it our life’s passion to live our lives pleasing to Him.

Eight years ago, I was expected to die in about two weeks.  I immediately forgave everyone I could think of and then asked THE LORD if I missed anybody.  HE then said, “You will live and not die!”  Do you know what possessions I was concerned about?  None, none mattered to me.  My passion to serve THE LORD increased knowing what gift HE gave me.  My interests in the natural world’s priorities decreased dramatically.  My priorities changed.

10 For one day we will all be openly revealed before Christ on His Throne so that each of us will be duly recompensed for our actions done in life, whether good or worthless.

11 Since we are those who stand in Holy Awe of the Lord, we make it our passion to persuade others to turn to Him. We know that our lives are transparent before the God who knows us fully, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences.

FATHER has been extremely merciful to me over the years.  HE has progressively opened my eyes to see and now I urge you to fully embrace the revelation of walking in The Fear of THE LORD.  As you do, you will be fruitful unto good works.  I have had plenty of worthless works in the past and I repent of those works.  Let us be included in HIS Book of Remembrance so that when we stand before Him, He will say,

“Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”

The Fear of THE LORD is the key to entering in to His joy!

Be still and listen!

Don’t be in a hurry, slow down.  It is better to be led by The Holy Sprit than to be driven by the world’s expectations and demands.

David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 37:

7  Quiet your heart in His Presence and wait patiently for YAHWEH. And don’t think for a moment that the wicked, in their prosperity, are better off than you.

It is also recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 46:

10 Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.

11 Here He stands! The Commander! The Mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us!

We must quiet our minds and not allow the mind to keep us from being still and quieting our hearts before THE LORD.  When we are busy and predisposed in dealing with worldly issues confronting us, our focus is lost in hearing what The Holy Spirit wants to share with us.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

2 Make very sure that you never refuse to listen to God when HE Speaks! For the God Who spoke on earth from Sinai is the same God Who now Speaks from Heaven. Those who heard HIM Speak His Living Word on earth found nowhere to hide, so what chance is there for us to escape if we turn our backs on God and refuse to hear His Warnings as He Speaks from Heaven?

26 The earth was rocked at the Sound of His Voice from the mountain, but now HE has promised, “Once and for all I will not only shake the systems of the world, but also the unseen powers in the heavenly realm!”

27 Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain.

28 Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable Kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights His Heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe.

29 For our God is a Holy, devouring Fire!

It is vital that we pay close attention to HIS Voice at all times.  We must walk in full surrender and we will be filled with awe.

David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 5:

7 But as for me, I will come into Your House in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your Holy Temple.

David understood walking in the Fear of THE LORD.  His life counted on it because he was called to defeat the enemies of THE LORD.  We are called as well.  Jesus is returning as the conquering Lion of Judah, not as a Lamb. 

Just as the children of Israel were called to remove the enemies of GOD from the Promised Land, we are to do the same.  To do so, we must first listen to every rēma Word that proceeds out of THE MOUTH OF GOD.  By doing so, we will be successful in every aspect of defeating HIS enemies and bringing for The Kingdom of GOD onto the earth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 2:

3 I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words.

4 The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the Almighty Power of God’s Holy Spirit.

5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty Power.

It is clear that Paul understood The Fear of THE LORD as he wrote to the church at Corinth.  Do you think that Paul would ever forget his first encounter with Jesus?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

3 As he (Paul, who was Saul) journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a Light shone around him from Heaven.

4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

Once you have a Holy encounter, it is not difficult to be still and listen!

Breakthrough comes through brokenness!

Brokenness refers to a state of humility, remorse, and a recognition of one’s own sinfulness and need for God’s grace, often leading to repentance and a renewed relationship with Him.  It is vital to recognize our need to be able to cry out effectively to FATHER.  Those who don’t think they have any needs will not change and mature in THE SPIRIT.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

3 “Blessed are the poor (humble) in spirit, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 7:

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

In the Old Testament, the rain was destruction, in the New Testament the rain was and is for construction.

Habakkuk prophesied in Habakkuk chapter 2:

14 For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.

When the Kingdom of GOD fully manifests on earth, HIS Glory will fill the earth as the fountains of the deep and the rain from above covered the earth in Noah’s time.  Wickedness will be removed from the earth.

As we desire more of GOD to come forth on Heaven, in essence we metaphorically create a stairway to Heaven to bring forth HIS Glory on earth.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 28:

10 Jacob left Beersheba and journeyed toward Haran.

11 He encountered a certain place at sunset and camped there for the night. He took a stone from there, made it his pillow, and lay down to sleep.

12 He had a dream of a stairway securely fixed on the earth and reaching into Heaven. And there were messengers of God ascending and descending on the stairway.

13 And YAHWEH stood beside him and said to him, “I am YAHWEH, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. You are lying on the very ground that I will give to you and your descendants.

14 They will become as numerous as the specks of dust on the earth, and they will extend their territory in all directions. Through you and your descendants, I will bless the whole world.

15 Never forget—I am always with you and will protect you wherever you go. And one day I will bring you back to this land, for I will neither leave you nor fail to fulfill every Word I have promised you.”

16 When Jacob awoke from his dream, he was overcome with awe and said, “YAHWEH is here! He is in this place and I didn’t realize it!”

17 Terrified and overwhelmed, he said, “How awesome is this place! I have stumbled right into the House of God! This place is a portal, the very gate of Heaven!”

Notice that once Jacob realized that he was in the Presence of THE LORD, he was overcome with awe, terrified and overwhelmed.

18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.

19 And he called the name of that place Bethel (The House of GOD); but the name of that city had been Luz (separation, departure) previously.

20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

21 so that I come back to my father’s house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God.

22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s House, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.“

Before The Law, Jacob honored the tithe as did Abraham.

How hungry are you for more of GOD?  Are you willing to empty yourself to make more room for HIM?  Are you willing to give up the past and all its trappings?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

6 Jesus existed in the form of God, yet He gave no thought to seizing equality with God as His supreme prize.

7 Instead he emptied Himself of his outward glory by reducing Himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human!

8 He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion!

9 Because of that obedience, God exalted Him and multiplied His greatness! He has now been given the greatest of all names!

Let us empty ourselves and take on the mindset of obedient, mature servants to bring forth FATHER’S Divine Intent.

The Fear of THE LORD is the greatest force of confidence, comfort, and protection available to any being in the universe!

Holy Fear can be broken down into two major categories: To tremble in HIS Presence and to tremble at HIS Word.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 89:

7 You are a God Who is greatly to be feared as you preside over the council of Holy ones. You are surrounded by trembling ones who are overwhelmed with fear and dread, stunned as they stand in awe of you!

8 So awesome are You, O YAHWEH, Lord God of Angel Armies! Where could we find anyone as glorious as You? Your faithfulness shines all around You!

9 You rule over oceans and the swelling seas. When their stormy waves rise, You speak, and they lie still.

10 You crushed the strongholds of Egypt, and all Your enemies were scattered at the mighty display of Your glory-power.

11 All the heavens and everything on earth belong to You, for You are the Creator of all that is seen and unseen.

12 The four corners of the earth were put in place by you. You made the majestic mountains that are still shouting their praises to Your Name.

13 Breathtaking and Awesome is Your power! Astounding and unbelievable is Your might and strength when it goes on display!

14 Your glorious Throne rests on a foundation of righteousness and just verdicts. Grace and Truth are the attendants who go before You.

The phrase “You are surrounded by trembling ones who are overwhelmed with fear and dread, stunned as they stand in awe of you!” says it all when we are in HIS Presence.  I assure you that you will be trembling and unable to move in HIS Presence.  HE is greatly to be feared!  You will not find HIM where HE is not reverenced and feared.  There is such a casualness found in most church services; it is no wonder that HIS Presence is not in attendance.

I am not referring to HIS Omnipresence as found in Psalm 139:

7 Where could I go from Your Spirit? Where could I run and hide from Your Face?

8 If I go up to heaven, You’re there! If I go down to the realm of the dead, You’re there too!

9 If I fly with wings into the shining dawn, You’re there! If I fly into the radiant sunset, You’re there waiting!

10 Wherever I go, Your Hand will guide me; your strength will empower me.

11 It’s impossible to disappear from You or to ask the darkness to hide me, for Your Presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.

As HE said in Hebrews chapter 13:5 For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

I am referring to HIS Manifest Presence.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

21 Those who truly Love Me are those who obey My commands. Whoever passionately Loves me will be passionately Loved by My Father. And I will passionately Love him in return and will reveal (manifest) Myself to him.”

The word manifest means: to show one’s self, come to view, appear, be manifest.

In the Book of Daniel, we find an excellent example of coming into the Manifested Presence of THE LORD through HIS angel in chapter 10:

9 As soon as the angel began to speak to me, I fell unconscious with my face to the ground, as in a coma.

10 Then I felt a powerful hand grip me and help me to my hands and knees. I was trembling with fear!

11 He said, “Daniel, you are greatly Loved and a precious treasure to God. Now, stand up and understand the Words that I am about to say, for God has sent me to you.” So, I rose to my feet, still shaking like a leaf.

12 He reassured me by saying, “Daniel, don’t be afraid, for I have come to bring to you the answer to your prayer. From the first day you sought to understand the revelation and humbled yourself before God, your words were heard in Heaven.

If Daniel who is greatly Loved responded in fear and trembling, we should expect the same when the manifested Presence of GOD comes, even if HE sends one of HIS angels from the Throne Room.

Continuing with Daniel’s response:

15 Upon hearing these Words, I bowed facedown and was left speechless.

16 Then suddenly, One who looked like a man touched my lips, and I was finally able to speak. So, I said to the one standing in front of me, “My lord, this vision has left me overcome, undone, and overwhelmed. I feel totally weak and helpless.

17 My lord, how can I, your servant, even talk to you? I have no strength, and I can barely catch my breath!”

18 Once again, the one who looked like a man gripped me and imparted strength to me.

19 He said to me, “Be strong! Be very, very strong! Do not be afraid, for you are greatly Loved and a precious treasure to God. God’s peace is yours.” As he spoke those words, I felt strength pour into me, and I said, “Now, I’m ready to listen to you, my lord, for you have given me strength.”

Those who truly walk in The Fear of THE LORD are also greatly Loved and are precious treasures to GOD.

We are to know what GOD Loves and hates so that we are able to align with HIM and be fully directed by HIS Ways.

To fear GOD is to reverence and be in complete awe of HIM. To fear GOD is to hallow HIM.  Hallow is defined as to respect greatly.  To fear GOD is to esteem, respect, honor, venerate, and adore HIM above anyone or anything else.

What is important to HIM becomes important to us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.

If we want HIM to manifest HIMSELF before us, we MUST present our bodies in Holiness.  If it were not possible, HE wouldn’t expect it.

King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 5:

3 At each and every sunrise You will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to You. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for Your Holy Fire to fall upon my heart.

4 I know that You, God, are never pleased with lawlessness, and evil ones will ever be invited into Your House.

5 Boasters collapse, unable to survive Your scrutiny, for Your hatred of evildoers is clear.

6 You will make an end of all those who lie. How You hate their hypocrisy and despise all who love violence!

To fear GOD is to hate sin and injustice.  To fear GOD is to depart from evil in every sense: thought, word, and action.  We are to refrain from speaking deceitfully.  We are not to put on an appearance that is untrue to one’s heart and thoughts.

To fear GOD is to walk in authentic humility before GOD and men.  To fear GOD is to give HIM the praise, adoration, thanksgiving, and worship HE deserves.  It is not 15 to 20 minutes on Sunday morning according to man’s time schedule.  Is a Sunday morning service of one hour sufficient to give HIM the honor HE deserves?  King David stated quite clearly the importance of praying early every morning and expecting FATHER’S Holy Fire to burn any contaminant out of his heart.  Should you and I do the same?

What are the benefits of Holy Fear for those who walk in it?

The Fear of THE LORD is the starting point for an intimate relationship with GOD.  We become HIS friends, and HIS secrets are made known to us.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 33:

11 So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.

12 Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My Sight.’

Moses spoke to THE LORD as a friend speaks and questioned HIM about who will go with the people.

13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your Way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”

14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.

Moses did not want to go anywhere without THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD!

16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”

17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My Sight, and I know you by name.”

FATHER responded to Moses’ request as a Friend.  In FATHER’S Presence, there is no lack, sickness, or disease.

The Fear of THE LORD provides us with clear direction so that we know what path to take.  What better way to embrace the future when FATHER directs your every step with HIS Wisdom and understanding.
