God Of The There and The God Of The Here and Now!!!

On Friday, October 29, 2021, I was driving and reflecting on all the times that PAPA FATHER had been "there" for me and I was made aware of a profound revelation, which I will share later, therefore; please keep reading!! I was thanking Him for being "there" for me at birth when I could have been my mother and father's fourth stillborn baby, had HE not intervened in a supernatural way! Told to me by my mother, at my birth the umbilical cord was entangled around my neck and I would have been strangled to death if GOD had not been "there" giving my mom the wisdom how to pray during this challenging moment. Also told to me, by her, once this medical emergency was revealed to her by the doctor, she asked him to leave the room to give her time to pray. She prayed Psalm 23 and before she got to the verse of "ye I walk through the valley of the shadow of death", she said that she felt me "jerk and turn inside of her womb". At that time she asked the nurse to call the doctor back into the delivery room. After checking her again, he confirmed to her that I was untangled and that I was in the position to be born. Everyone in the delivery room had witnessed a miracle that Tuesday, January 18, 1966, at my birth ! As I continued driving, I was crying and thanking Papa Father for my miracle at birth! 

Then, I began thanking HIM for all the other tested moments that He had been "there" for me as well! Such as, when HE was "there" when I accidentally fell backward off of our tall porch when I was a preschooler. Even though I suffered tremendous trauma both physically and emotionally that day I lived, only by HIS powerful grace and mercy! HE was "there" at the age of 12 years old when our dear mother died on March 17, 1978, which was the last friday morning of spring break and we had to attend her funeral that following week. HE was "there" when I was finally emotionally stable enough to return to school and face my teachers and my peers. HE was "there" each day as I pressed forward to face the abrupt reality of living my life without my dear mother during the years to come. HE was "there" when I had to face so many monumental milestones during the years ahead in my life and even until this present moment. This was a very challenging season in my life, but because HE was "there" for me I am alive and well today and writing this blog post and giving HIM all my praise and the glory!! HE was "there" when my dear dad was buried on my 23rd birthday, which was January 18, 1989 and which also was five days before our firstborn first birthday. As I rode in the family car to his funeral with my husband and our firstborn daughter, I was crushed emotionally and spiritually, but I found a profound peace as I quietly recited Psalm 23 as we rode to attend his funeral. Psalm 23 had given my mother her breakthrough at my birth and over the years it along with many other passages of scriptures have comforted me so many times when I was facing life's challenges! HE was "there" present at each of our four children's births. HE has been "there" during all the in between moments until this very moment as well! I was very emotional during my drive, as I reflected on all these monumental times, but I also was overjoyed at the same time because HE was "there" for me through them all. If HE had not been "there" I do not know how I could have survived them all and be here in my right mind today as I write this blog post. 

Now, regarding the profound revelation which I mentioned earlier that I would share! As I continued to drive and as my emotions all began to flood in almost immediately, I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me and said, " take the "T" off of the word "there" and what do you see"? I answered and said in a whisper the word, "here"! HE said back to me immediately, "even though I was "there" with you during all those difficult and "tested moment" in your past as well as the good times, you can be comforted knowing that I am " here" with you now as well"!! I began to cry and immediately; however, before arriving at my destination, I dried my tears and I began thanking and praising Papa Father for being "there" with me all those times, but even more so for being present "here" with me now! HE was "there" for me then, but HE is "here" with me now and that gives me all the hope and encouragement that I need to journey onward in my life, my marriage my family and every other aspect of my life! I thank HIM so much for being "there" for me during the good times and the difficult times of my past, but I am overjoyed over that profound comforting revelation that was revealed to me during my drive. The fact that HE was "there" for me all those times is so reassuring to me for the days and years ahead!! I am tremendously grateful and uplifted to know that He wanted me to be assured that HE is "here" for me today, tomorrow and forever as I walk with HIM in faith each day moving forward!! 

I pray this will exhort all who read this blog post!! Whether your life has been good or bad, HE has been "there" for you as well, waiting patiently in line! I pray you will put your total trust in HIM and realize that HE can be the GOD of the "there" and also the GOD of the "here" and "now" for you as well! HE promise to never leave or forsaken us and HE can not and will not lie to us!! During these perilous times of the last days before Christ's triumphant return we can rely on the fact that HE is "here" for all who will believe and place all their trust in HIM as SAVIOR and LORD!!

PAPA FATHER, JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT is "there" and "here" for us as HIS believers all the time! HE is always near, therefore, we as HIS children do not have to fear!! Also, remember this: "GOD is always present, all powerful, all knowing and nothing that we encounter or go through in life is hidden from HIS all seeing eye. Knowing these facts compels me to put my total trust in HIM each and everyday and I pray all believer who read this inspirational blog post will do the same by faith!!

ALL FOR CHRIST'S KINGDOM!!
