ALWAYS GOD – CONSCIOUS



“I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.” (Psalm 16:8)

Obviously, Jesus walked with a continual God-consciousness. A relationship that was a dominant factor in His life. “I and My Father are ONE.” (John 10:30) “Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me. And I know that Thou hearest Me always…”(John 11:41-42). His inner-consciousness was His oneness with His Father, and while He might also become aware of outside conditions, the needs of the people, even to casting out demons, this did not take away from His inner consciousness of oneness with His Father’s will and purpose at all times.

Now, what about us? What is our inner-consciousness” You cannot be God-conscious and devil-conscious at the same time. Fear is a negative emotion. Worry is a negative emotion. Doubt and unbelief are negatives. When these abide in us they become a fertile field for devil-consciousness to develop. We become more than just aware of the enemy, it is an inner disquietedness. We then are prone to lash out at every shadow, and begin to think that every situation is Satan-controlled, and we forget that GOD IS IN CONTROL.

The challenge remains, “Be renewed in the spirit of your mind… neither give place to the devil (Eph. 4:23,27). The mind is the area where the adversary would seek to gain his toehold in our temple. So Paul instructed, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, think on these things,” (Phil. 4:8). When the mind is filled with a Christ-consciousness there is no ‘place’ therein for the devil.

It was the Psalmist’s determination to have the Lord “Always before me.” Conscious that even “When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.” (Ps. 23:4).

Inwardly conscious that Christ is our King,
And He controls all our pathway would bring.
