Post Script: I AM Here!

 

Post Script: I AM Here!

By Marsha Deveaux Johnson

 

Post Script:  I Am Here! is my new occasional communication to the Body of Christ.  The Post Script (Positive Statements) will feature my encounters with the “Great I Am” in my walk with Him. 

 

God revealed Himself to Moses as the Great I AM (Exodus 3:14).  He is here, He is present, He watches over His word to perform it in our lives (Jeremiah 1:12).  Here is a moment I share with you in which God has revealed Himself to me.  May you be encouraged by my  encounter to see the Father’s heart toward you as He reveals Himself to you.

I spent my teenage years in Sanford, FL about five blocks from the downtown St. Johns River.  It is my “go to” place to have instant feelings of home.  On the above date David and I pulled up to the parking place that gives a view of this north flowing river.  Well, God had already assigned our welcoming committee. They were there huddled near the sidewalk.  As David drove up, I looked to the right and there they were.  David jumped out of the car to go to the trunk to get his camera.  We love the birds on the river and have found them stunning in their creation by God in color, beauty, and unique features.

 

I turned to my right and saw one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever viewed.  There sat a mother duck with four young ducklings quietly sitting in front of her.  My heart melted with this scene as I saw My Creator on display.   I watched her as David and his camera started her way.  She made no sound, she did not move her position, but I noticed that her breathing changed.  It became more labored.  As this happened the four young ducklings got up, wobbled on their legs and moved in closer to her.

 

By this time, I had lost it with revelation!  God we must sit in your presence, hear Your heartbeat and move in ever so closer to you.  My husband’s camera was no threat to these ducks.  Neither are the rantings and raving of the enemy a threat to God’s children.  They are just signs to us to “move in closer to the Father”.  Be loved and protected by Him.

 

I said to David, she did not “say” anything to them!  They just knew by her heartbeat to move in closer.  Needless to say, David quickly reminded me that birds don’t talk like we do.  We must hear our Father as He speaks to us Rhema (inspired) words in our human spirit.

 

He sees the fall of a sparrow (Matthew 10:29); I know He watches over His word to perform it in my life (Jeremiah 1:12).   Be encouraged! MDJ
