*LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE* 🖋️📚

Isaiah 29:13 KJV:Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour Me, but have removed their heart far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the precept of men:

We speak only to someone in our presence because we are conscious of their presence. No one can be talking to someone not in their presence else it will be termed madness. It is a mistake to only think and act as such, that prayer is the only time I am talking in the presence of God. The truth that God is omnipresent means everywhere I am talking I am talking in His presence though I may be talking to others. For this reason I must be conscious of my speech anywhere I am and whomever I am talking to.

Matthew 12:36 :But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

If my heart is not aware I am in God's presence my speech will be empty, vague, powerless even during prayers,worship and praise. Its only my mouth and lips that acknowledges not the presence of God but His existence. If my heart is not with God then it must be with another gods. And where my heart is, is where my love is and where my true services lies and as it is written where my treasures are is where my heart is - Matthew 6:21.
Testimonies rooted in vanity gains are evidences of my heart's closeness to vanities more than God.
I can only deceive myself and others of my closeness to God but not God. My heart knows who I am closer to.
If I am more conscious of my speech when I am in the presence of men that I can not declare boldness for God it implies my heart is more closer to men and vanities than to God.

1Peter 1:15KJV:But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Holy conversation is proof I am aware I am in God's presence always both in good and bad times so I must maintain it.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for me to always talk in the presence of God.

Those living the victorious life are living in the awareness of God's presence always reason they are always victorious.

I accept Jesus or the Word I read or hear today and I am saved.

Weekly Prayer Point:
Holy Spirit help me to always be aware I am in God's presence.
