Where He is

Elder Sean D. Smith

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

 

- John 14:1-4, NKJV

A good portion of the troubles in our respective lives are related to not being where we ought to be…not being where God has either directed them to go or being in place where God does not desire them to reside in. This place especially includes your heart. We often think of a physical place, but it is your heart that God desires the most…for where your heart goes, the rest of you will follow - For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21, NKJV).


But if you can just get to where He is…that place that has your heart written all over it…He will surely unlock the treasures of Heaven [“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know” (John 14:1-4, NKJV)]…affording the very promises He has spoken into your life. However, it is your flesh’s desire to work contrary to the works of the Holy Spirit, and it is this dynamic that has you at a fork in your spiritual road. Choose “right” and you will be where He is [It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63, NKJV)]…choose poorly and your flesh will lead you down a path of destruction - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23, NKJV). Today leave behind the ways of this world and get to that place where He is…knowing that no matter what you are going through He will be with you through it all and until the very end - Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
