There Lord has been speaking to me about His protection and His presence surrounding us recently. There have been many thematic events about bubbles. This all began at Christmas, when we got a gift of "durable bubbles" for our cat, Fearless, to play with. These bubbles were advertised as being able to touch the ground and not pop. The idea is that cats chase them as they roll around on the floor, until the cat actually has to touch the bubble to pop it.
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you" Job 12:7
Anyways, bubbles have been a recurring theme since then. For me, they represent God's indwelling presence exceeding our own bodies. They represent the Holy Spirit in us coming through and creating a manifestation of God all around us. They represent the "hedge of protection" that the Lord had placed around Job (Job 1:10). This bubble is God's territory. The enemy cannot enter, and we are shielded by God's power and Love. Disease cannot enter, neither can spiritual darkness or despair.
If we yield to God's Spirit within us, we will find it is soon all around us, too. We will find that the Holy Spirit will surround us with peace, love, and joy. Those around us will be positively affected, too (but some will be cut to the heart). This is what we are called to--Christ in us, with us and through us--until we are manifesting His presence here on the earth.
"Awake, awake, Zion, clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor, Jerusalem, the holy city. The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again." Isaiah 52:1
This is God's command to us as believers. In other words, put on your bubble! Be separated and sanctified and set apart from the rest. Be clothed with His strength. It's already within--just let His Light and His character shine through. His Light is Love and strength. And if we yield and come into agreement with Him, His strong hand will come upon us (Isaiah 8:11). We will be displaying the nature of our savior to all the world, and we will achieve victory over the enemy, who will not be able to touch us.
"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city." Revelation 22:14
When we are within His bubble, we are seen by all as we rightfully are--sons and daughters of the King! Adverse situations will not steal our joy. We will have the right to the tree of life and be allowed through the gates of His Kingdom. The enemy will see the Spirit of God within us, and he will not be able to touch us. We will walk out our identity as the Lord's anointed, as He cleans us from the inside out (Psalms 105:15).
Glory to God! Yield to Him, focus on Him, preoccupy yourself with His goodness, and watch as it bubbles up through you. You will be within His bubble, and His presence around you will make you clean. Watch as His presence then shines out, and watch as you become totally untouched by outside circumstances. His Joy will surround you wherever you go!
