God With Us…

 

  1. 2 Samuel 7:7
    1. (He visited Adam, Cain, Abel, Noah, Abraham, but he dwelt with Israel)
  2. Leviticus 25:23
    1. (with them on their way out of Egypt, with them through Red Sea, with them through the wilderness wanderings)
    2. (1 Cor 10:1-4)
  3. Psalm 39:12
  4. Mark 16:20
  5. Hebrews 13:5
    1. You can forsake someone without leaving them, but God has promised us he’ll never do either.
  6. 1 Cor 3:6-9
    1. Boss says, Plow this field. You go out and do it and there he is helping you all along. At the end of the day he pays you just as if you had done all yourself.
    2. CEO say, Clean this building. And here he comes along side of you the whole time, only to turn around and pay you for the whole thing at the close of the day
  7. John 14:16-18
    1. Jesus didn’t just send salvation down from heaven, he brought salvation down from heaven.
    2. I’m not hoping one day to enter the presence of the Lord, one day he entered my presence, and he hasn’t left yet.

 

Jesus is with us in our wandering, he’s with us in our walk, he’s with us in our service, and he’s with us in our trial.

Yet when it comes to time of warfare, there is a special pattern to his ever-presence.

 

  1. Ephesians 6:10-18 “stand”
    1. We have less to do with the spiritual victories we’re a part of than we’d like to think. Our responsibility is to stand. If we’ll do all to stand it will prevent us from getting in the way!
    2. (ex. Jude 9, 2 Kings 6:15-17, 2 Kings 19:14-19, 35)
  2. Joshua 10:8-10
  3. Judges 7:21
  4. 2 Samuel 5:23-25
  5. Rev 19:11-14
  6. Isa 63:1-4

 

Our ever-present Saviour confronts that which would harm you and I and goes before in this battle.
