The Secret of His Presence

The most captivating and secret reality you will ever discover is the ever-present reality of God! Most would agree with the notion that he is there, but very few know the secret of his presence. This secret is the launching pad for prayer that lays hold of heaven and the power to live a life that demonstrates the reality of God. One of the most quoted scriptures of the Bible is, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4  The writer, King David, was convinced that if God was with him, he had nothing to fear. 

Jesus was always teaching about faith because he knew that his disciples could not carry out the purposes of heaven without it. Matthew chapter 14 records how after Jesus had fed the 5000 (not including women and children) with two fish and five loaves of bread (major miracle), he purposely had his disciples get into a boat to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. At about 3 o’clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the water. They were terrified, thinking he was a ghost. Look at what happened.

“But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”  Matthew 14:25-33

If you know that the awesome and loving Creator of the universe is on your side, you will be convinced that everything is going to be all right! At Jesus’ command, Peter stepped out and did the impossible; he walked on water. Peter knew the voice of Jesus and was convinced that at his word, he also could walk on water.

The theological word “omnipresent” means that God is everywhere present. There is no place you can go in the universe where he would not be fully present with you. Think about it – If God is with you and deeply loves you, you and God are a majority! The Bible emphatically declares that God is not only with us, but he will never leave us or forsake us!

Heb 13:5b  I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Ps 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

God is ever-present! No matter where you go, he is there! Therefore, the issue is not whether God is with you, but instead whether you believe in his reality or not! Jesus said, “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mk 9:23 When you know that God is with you, you will have a better outlook on all life’s situations! The life of anxiety and fear will fade from your experience because of the powerful reality you now live in! Not only do you look at life differently, but you will go on the offensive to bring about heavenly purposes.

Mk 11:22-24 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.  Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Believing God brings the greatest joy to his heart! Why? Because God’s greatest desire is to bless you with all that he is and has, and only faith can make that possible! God’s greatest pain is when we put our trust in ourselves instead of him.

My dear friend, when you believe God, you tap into everything that he is! The sky is no longer the limit – everything is possible when you believe! My prayer for you today is that you would receive the revelation of God’s reality as never before! May your provision, protection, and purpose be found in God alone. I can assure you that the secret to tapping into the life of heaven is living your life in…
