Hebrews 11:6 – “And without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who draws near to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.”

Today is a new day with new opportunities, victories, and revelations. The blessings of God are new every morning, every afternoon, and every evening. The flow of God’s Love never ceases. HE IS and IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Some are troubled by the possible meaning of the Solar Eclipse, but remember that at the end of the Day, God is still God and still on the throne! No Fear!

When we read passages like that in Hebrews 11:6, it is easy to ask, “What about those who do not?”   We should desire to be those who diligently seek God.  We should be those who believe in the Is-ness of God. 

God IS!  That is a standalone and powerful statement, and it is all-encompassing.  God IS!   We have numerous passages in the Bible that confirm that:

1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us that God IS Faithful.

1 John 1:5 tells us that God is light and there is no darkness in Him.

2 Peter 3:9 tells us that God is not slow in keeping His promises and is patient with us.

Hebrews 4:12 tells us that the Word of God, which is God, is ALIVE.

James 1:17 tells us that God is the giver of good gifts.

John 4:24 tells us that God is Spirit.

Numbers 23:19 tells us that God is not a human being and has no capacity to lie or fail.

Psalm 116:5 tells us that God is gracious, righteous, and compassionate.

Psalm 84:11-12 tells us that God is our sun and shield.

Job 12:7-10 tells us, “In His hands is the life of every creature.”

GOD IS!  He is with us and has promised never to forsake us.  Tragically, we sometimes envision Him as over there, up there, or out there rather than being Right Here In Us!   We are IN Christ, and Christ is IN us, and He Never Ever Changes!

Our daily prayer could and should be: “LORD, enlighten our hearts to believe in the presence of God! Help us to see what You are doing and hear what You are saying. Help us to have a renewed deposit of awareness of the IS-NESS of God and walk in the confidence, assurance, hope, and power of Your Presence.”

We do not serve an abstract but The Living God!  God is with us All the Time!  He is aware of Everything in our lives, hearts, minds, and hands.  He wants to guide us and has promised to do just that.  He wants to protect us and has promised to do just that.  The Father wants us to have the Kingdom and be anointed and empowered to do the works of Jesus and the greater works He planned.

Isaiah prophesied about Jesus, and Jesus identified that the prophecy was about Him.  But He has given us the authority and power to operate in His Name.  Therefore, if He is IN us and we are One with Him, then this prophecy also applies to us.

“The Spirit of the LORD is on me and you, BECAUSE…”  Because? Yes, because He has anointed us to proclaim the Good News to the poor. He has sent us to proclaim freedom for the prisoners. He has sent us to bring recovery of sight to the blind. He has empowered and anointed us to set the oppressed free. He has anointed us to proclaim the Ultimate and Total Victory of the Cross.

Jesus sent the disciples out with power and authority. He confirmed that this is for all who believe and will obey. We are to bring the sick to His healing, the dead to life, the lepers to cleansing, and those possessed and demonized to liberty.

Mark 16:15-18 – “And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my Name, they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

WOW!  It is time to believe in the “ISNESS” of God and, rather than preach and testify of theory, become Doers of the Word. If God is the same past, present, and future, WHY NOT NOW? We have a world to win, and the world is not interested in our theories about God; they want to see the Living God Living IN Us!

God is, God Does, God Can, and God Will. My prayer: “Father, I ask that You help us see You as the LIVING GOD and the Present God. Help us to see ourselves as You see us, not as the devil says we are, nor as the world says we are, nor even as we think we are, but as You see us! Clothe us with Your Holy Spirit and free us from limited thinking and defeatism. Amen.”

• Some live in pessimism, some in optimism, some in what they call realism, and others in fatalism.
• I choose to Live in GOD IS-ISM.
• My God IS!
• My God Lives! 
• My God, Reigns!
• My God is The Living God! 
• He is Your God, too.

So, shake yourself, put off the old thinking, put on the new view of God, and live as if He is telling the truth because He is!

May the Living God, Creator of All, walk with you today and lift you higher!
