Consciousness.... "For the Lord your God is living among you.... Being aware of God's presence is one thing, but knowing His capabilities is what truly empowers us. Our strength doesn't come from physical might, skills and intelligence but from carrying God within us. You would almost think Samson was a macho man judging by his victories in battle. Samson's victories in battle weren't due to his physical strength, but because God was with him. That's why when God's presence left him, he lost his strength, proving that true power comes not from the man, but from the One who backs them. As Romans 8:31 says, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" With God on our side, nothing can stand against us. You don't need to be a king, or a trained military man. You can be a young shepherd boy with the consciousness that God is with you, and 9ft tall Goliath will go down before you. Jericho will fall down flat, Jordan will flee and the mountains will skip like lamb. John 10:29 AMP says, "My Father... is GREATER and MIGHTIER THAN ALL." This consciousness is what gives us joy and strength in the face of challenges. As Nehemiah 8:10 says, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." The knowledge of who God is your joy(strength), the ignorance of who God is your fear(weakness). Don't just know God, really know Him in person, know His Character.... Jehovah El-gibbor. Jesus loves you, yes U.
