You are hidden in the strength of God Most High
“When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.” Psalm 91:1 (TPT)
When God created man in His image and placed him to rule and have dominion of the earth, His abiding presence was with him.
Due to sin, he lost the abiding presence of God.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, that abiding presence has been graciously restored.
As you continue in His presence, be reminded that you are hidden in the strength of the Almighty God.
Remove far from you anything that can make His presence depart from you.
“Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me. Hold me close to you with a willing spirit that obeys whatever you say.” Psalm 51:12(TPT)
As David prayed in the above verse, enjoy the unhindered joy, peace, and passion that comes from abiding in His presence.
If, for any reason, you lose that presence, cry out to God in true repentance.
“Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.”
“ But the Lord Yahweh is always faithful to place you on a firm foundation and guard you from the Evil One. We have complete confidence in the Lord concerning you, and we are sure that you are doing and will continue to do what we have told you. Now may the Lord move your hearts into a greater understanding of God’s pure love for you and into Christ’s steadfast endurance”
2 Thessalonians 3:3-5 (TPT)
In this season, please stay hidden in the strength of God.

Those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit
“The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 8:14 (TPT)
We live in times and seasons that only God”s leading guarantee safety.
We are in the days that only reliance on the Holy Spirit assures you of daily victory.
We are witnessing situations that only protection of the Almighty stands secure.
Therefore you need to be led by the Holy Spirit continually and consistently.
“Only those people who are led by God’s Spirit are his children.”
Romans 8:14(CEV)
Are you a child of God?
Are you being led by Him in all aspects of your life?
“When you turn to the right or turn to the left, you will hear his voice behind you to guide you, saying, “This is the right path; follow it.”
…Then God will supply you with abundant rain for the seeds you sow. He will bless you with an incredible, plentiful harvest.”
Isaiah 30:21-23 (TPT)
To daily make the right choices so that you can get the right results, you need the total dependence of the Holy Spirit.

Weakness and Fear made Peter Deny Jesus Christ.
“Meanwhile, Peter was still standing in the courtyard by the fire. And one of the guards standing there said to him, “Aren’t you one of his disciples? I know you are!” Peter swore and said, “I am not his disciple!” But one of the servants of the high priest, a relative to the man whose ear Peter had cut off, looked at him and said, “Wait! Didn’t I see you out there in the garden with Jesus?” Then Peter denied it the third time and said, “No!”—and at that very same moment, a rooster crowed nearby.”
John 18:25-27(TPT)
Jesus had earlier warned Peter about the impending temptation, and boldly Peter assured Him it would not happen.
At Gethsemane, Peter was supposed to pray and be stronger spiritually, but he was very, very sleepy, so when the tempter came, there was no spiritual stamina.
At that point, he was weak spiritually.
Having learned his lessons, Peter later wrote, “Be careful—watch out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry, roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart.” 1 Peter 5:8.
You need to pray and prevail in prayer to avoid falling into temptation.
It’s not by mere “positive confession.”
Fear was the other reason that made Peter fall.
Peter feared Jesus would die, and they could kill him that night too.
The world hated Jesus and so they would hate you too.
It’s been said that there are 365 “Fear not’s” in the Bible, one “Fear not” for every day of the year.
Most times, our fears do not come correctly, as we had worriedly feared.
God told Joshua to be bold and courageous. “In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll be with you. I won’t give up on you; I won’t leave you. Strength! Courage!” Joshua 1:8 (MSG)
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to have you, to sift you like wheat, but I have pleaded in prayer for you that your faith should not completely fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen and build up the faith of your brothers.”
Luke 22:31-32
Today don’t allow weakness and Fear to make you stumble. Peter did turn around, so also you can.
Pray and Prevail in Prayers. Have Strength and courage

For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance
“For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.”
Hebrews 10:36 (AMPC)
“You need the strength of endurance to reveal the poetry of God’s will, and then you receive the promise in full.”
Hebrews 10:36 (TPT)
“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised” Hebrews 10:36 (NIV)
Be Patient.
Remain Steadfast.
Don’t Shake and doubt what God has told you.
Again don’t give up easily.
Endurance is the key ingredient to receiving the promise.
Don’t talk about what you don’t understand hastily.
Keep waiting on the Word He has given you.
Remember the hymn by Edward Mote (1834)
“My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
all other ground is sinking sand,
all other ground is sinking sand.”
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV)

The name of the Lord is a strong tower
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the [consistently] righteous man [upright and in right standing with God] runs into it and is safe, high [above evil] and strong.” Proverbs 18:10 (AMPC)
Whatsoever is happening around you now, please remember this: God’s name.
The Almighty God is always your refuge and strength at all times in all situations.
“And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.”
2 Samuel 22:1-4, KJV
Call upon God. He will always show Up.
“Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my keen and firm Strength, Who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight— My Steadfast Love and my Fortress, my High Tower and my Deliverer, my Shield and He in Whom I trust and take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.”
Psalm 144:1-2 (AMPC)
In these days and times completely totally, entirely depend on God.
No matter the pressure around you.
Regardless of the circumstances, you are in.
Let the Character of God be evident in all your conduct.
“The character of God is a tower of strength, for the lovers of God delight to run into his heart and be exalted on high.”
Proverbs 18:10 (TPT)

Then come to me.
“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways, and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (TPT)
Come unto me.
Come to Me.
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out…
Where are you in the assignment God has given you?
What is going on with you?
Jesus is reminding you again today. Come.
No matter the challenges you are facing.
Whatever level.
With whosoever.
Approach the throne of Grace and ask for further clarification.
He is watching and waiting for you.
Don’t be tired.
Don’t give up.
Don’t abandon your dreams.
Daily learn from God.
“Keep company with me, and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
