September 1 – The Power of Presence Under the Shadow of His Wings
Psalm 91:1: Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Throughout the years, the words” shadow of His wings” brought great release and comfort in my times of meditation. A precious truth shed its light on my soul is that as we abide in God, in His presence, wonderful change happens.
The great secret is that even if we spend hours in prayer and the moment we walk away from prayer and live in our own thought patterns, not much change happens… not that I am underestimating prayer, but the illuminating fact is His Presence. Under that shadow, we are deeply protected. Peter dwelt in the Presence of God, and when Peter’s shadow fell on the people, they got healed simply because Peter dwelt in His presence. Such change can happen when we dwell under His Shadow.
Dwelling under His shadow protects us from harm, danger, evil, accidents, and untoward events and even protects our relationships.
Dwelling in the presence of God pours out great blessing to the world around us. It is only then that we can see walls crumble down, lives transform, nations even repent and call upon God, people get healed, delivered, and people even get healed from debilitating mental illnesses and becomes shinning vessels in a world of darkness.
In His Light, we see Light. Our dark minds are unveiled and only then can we see the supernatural realm to understand situations and events beyond our natural limited perspective.
A little example is whenever I am in a walking, talking communion relationship with the Lord, I see change around me. It never fails to amaze me. Personally and with others, wonderful change starts to spring forth and situations start to change, locked iron doors swing open, and new avenues start to open up.
On the other hand, if I spent hours praying about the same thing in desperation, not much seems to happen. Why? Simple! Because when we start to seek Him, and His presence, He starts to change things around us. If we just want and want and want and want, we are never satisfied and we are actually struggling in our flesh with issues we do not have the power to overcome.
If we abide under the Shadow of the Almighty, living in His presence, our shadows in Him can impact the world around us!
