\u2018Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me\u2019 Ps.23:4 [KJV]<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The major key to stilling every storm in our lives is securing the presence of God. Safety they say is not in the absence of danger but in the presence of the Lord. His presence guarantees your safety and deliverance inspite of the storm. This is why you repeatedly hear people testify that even though they experienced real life storms with waves crashing and all, their boats did not capsize. \u2018Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me\u2019 Ps.23:4<\/a><\/em>. Secure His presence and you will triumph over the storms of life. However, it is one thing for Jesus to be in your boat and it is another thing to secure His presence. \u2018Jesus was in the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up and said, Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?\u2019 Mark 4:38<\/a><\/em> [GNT]<\/a>. Securing His presence means engaging Him. Until the disciples secured His presence, He was inactive even though He was present. Securing His presence simply entails cultivating an atmosphere that invites God to intensify His presence. One sure way of securing His presence is when you praise and worship God. You can do this in your car, at home and even at work. Praise God consistently and you will secure His manifest presence. \u2018In His presence there is fullness of joy<\/em>\u2019. Don\u2019t just do it for a day and stop, cultivate the habit of dwelling in His presence. \u2018Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God<\/em>\u2019 Ps.46.10a<\/em> [AMP]<\/a>. Will you focus on the storm or will you secure His presence that assures that the storms are silenced? Securing His presence extends to your personal altar. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit [Ps.27:1-6<\/a>]. God is talking about you being a vessel for His presence. Then you will experience God\u2019s lifting up above your enemies round about.<\/p>\n
