Jesus Never Leaves Us Alone

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Hebrews 13:5

Jesus is dwelling in our hearts right now; we are never alone. Jesus will never leave us or forsake us. If we have a problem, Jesus is right here with us, our problems are His problems. When Jesus was on the earth as a man and He came upon a problem, what did He do about it? Did He walk away, no, He stopped and solved it, even when the problem was a naked guy who lived in a tomb, who could break the chains that bound him! Did Jesus condemn the people who had the problems, no! Even when the person was caught in a sin, He simply said go and sin no more! Did Jesus say that it was our Father's will that the person who had the problem continually stay in it, no! He said that satan came to kill, steal, and destroy, but that God sent Him so that we might have life and have it more abundantly! Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, changed the weather, gave specific answers to specific problems, told the demons where to go, turned water to wine, and Jesus only spoke the Word of God. Jesus never stood passively by, He was and is action oriented; Jesus is the answer man! When Jesus went to His hometown and tried to heal the sick and the people rejected is offering, He simply marveled at their unbelief. Jesus did not condemn them and even though He marveled at their unbelief, He never condemned them. And remember this, before He marveled, He had first tried to serve them. Even though He knew what they were going to do, He still offered! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He changes not, Malachi 3:6! If Jesus was that way back then, He is that way today. Jesus ever lives to intercede for us! And Jesus is always moved by His compassion for us!

This is Who we have living within us, this is what He is like, and just like 2000 years ago, Jesus marvels if people will not let Him help them. Yet the great thing about Jesus is, give Him the least bit of an opportunity and Help is right there! The great Truth for those of us who have been chosen and baptized with the Holy Spirit is that we have our Father's Spirit within us causing us to accept Jesus’ help. We now have a Spirit and heart to take Jesus for all He is, we are empowered to ask by God Himself, and it is given to us. We are empowered with God Himself to seek, and because we are, we always find. We knock and the door is always opened. For all of God’s children who ask, receive, and all who seek find, and all who knock, the door is opened! All things now work together for our good through the perfect love that our Father has for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. This is the Truth that is now in our hearts, this is what is crying out for us, this is salvation, and there is no down side to our salvation!

We have absolutely the most powerful and loving Being on our side, period! God's very Spirit cries out from within us of the greatness of who we are in Him. Together with Christ and through the power that comes from being one with Him, God is able and willing to cause us to walk in complete and total victory, ever pleasing to Him, without spot, without wrinkle, and without blemish. We are united with Jesus and there is no weapon formed that will prosper against us. With Jesus we have peace that passes all understanding, and with Jesus we have unity with each other. This unity will allow salvation to flourish around the world. We are now one with The One! We now are partakers of His Divine Nature and Jesus will never leave us or forsake us!
