Emmanuel With Us No Matter What Apostle Emelio Sebastian 12 14 2025

In a world filled with uncertainty, wars, natural disasters, and personal struggles, we need an anchor that holds firm—and that anchor is the promise of Emmanuel, God with us. This message takes us on a profound journey through Scripture, beginning with Isaiah's prophetic declaration that a virgin would conceive and bear a son called Emmanuel, meaning 'God with us.' But this isn't just a historical promise; it's a present reality. When God told Moses 'I AM that I AM,' He was declaring that He would be whatever we need, whenever we need it—our healer, our provider, our peace, our righteousness. The Hebrew word 'im' (with) reveals layers of meaning: God makes covenant with us, fights our battles, shares fellowship with us, and accompanies us everywhere. We're reminded that when Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit's overshadowing, it demonstrated God's power to override natural laws on our behalf. Today, through Christ living in us by the Holy Spirit, we carry that same presence. We're not just people God is near; we're carriers of His presence, bringing His power, wisdom, and love wherever we go. Every weapon formed against us fails not because of our strength, but because we've inherited covenant promises. The God who was with Daniel in the lion's den, with the Hebrew children in the furnace, and with David facing Goliath is the same God residing in us right now—24/7, 365 days a year.
