HIS PRESENCE AND SUPPORT
...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen (Matthew 28:20 NKJV).
Prevailing faith is the result of your consciousness that God is in you, with you and for you, and has lavished His love upon you. This knowledge makes you invincible; it gives the giant-killer mentality. You just know that in life, come what may, you’re a victor forever; you’re more than a conqueror because the greater One lives in you.
This mindset was what set David apart in his day when he confronted Goliath. David heard the same threats from Goliath as the entire Israelite army, but he focused on the fact that he was circumcised and Goliath wasn’t. Circumcision was the sign of the covenant between God and Abraham. If you were part of that covenant, it meant you were connected to God. If you weren’t circumcised, you had no power against those who were.
David’s confidence came from this understanding. He said, "…who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Samuel 17:26 NKJV). To David, Goliath was no match because Israel was connected to the God of Abraham. This is a powerful lesson for us as God’s children. We’re not ordinary people.
Anyone who’s against us is ultimately against God. This might sound overwhelming, but it’s the truth. Jesus emphasized this in Acts 9:4 when Saul was persecuting the Church. The Lord said to him, “…Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?” Then in our opening verse, we read where He said, “...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen" (Matthew 28:20 NKJV). When He said this, He meant you have my presence, and you have my support.
How could you be defeated when you have His presence and His support? To have His support means you’re backed by all the arsenal and resources of heaven. His entire wealth, all His glory and power, and His angels are available to you. This assurance is not just a comforting thought but a reality that empowers us to live boldly for Him and in defence of the Gospel. With His presence and support, you’re unstoppable.
Just as David stood confidently against Goliath, knowing he was backed by the living God, you too can stand firm in the knowledge that God isn’t only with you, He’s in you by His Spirit, in His fullness. Therefore, no adversary or adversity can prevail against you because you’re connected to Him. Glory to God!
Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for your indwelling presence and your power at work in me. Nothing can stand against me successfully, for your glory, and all the resources of heaven are available to me as I walk in the path and destiny that you’ve created for me. Thank you for my inextricable oneness with you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
