What determines your concept of reality is your Lord
Let the living Jesus inhabit and rule your heart and define reality for you. Refuse to inhibit His presence and authority.
A culture that proclaims that people’s desires and feelings are Lord (determine reality) doesn’t want to hear that Jesus is Lord. It’s impossible to follow the Lordship of your desires and feelings and the Lordship of Jesus at the same time!
Seeking the depths of Romans 10:9. Live your life like Jesus is truly living! To “declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” is to openly and publicly proclaim (not just once, but regularly) that Jesus is your absolute Master — that you seek to live and be controlled by His presence and His will throughout the day. To “believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead” is to take your belief beyond mental assent to the point that your heart continually burns with never ending passion to love and obey Jesus, and where you daily live your life like Jesus is truly living by fully surrendering to and continually relying on and depending on His moment-by-moment presence with, in and around you.
The Bible is infinitely more than religious information. It is the deep personal, Spirit-led accounts of people who were deeply touched and led by God and who opened their heart to receive His presence and the gifts of His Spirit. If we will read it with an open, humble heart it will lead us to the same experiences today. If you don’t want a relationship with the living God, He won’t force you to have one even though your avoiding Him breaks His heart.
The risen Jesus is a much more capable teacher than most Christians realize. Ekklesia, a Spirit-led gathering of the body of Christ, is very simple. It lets the risen Jesus be the teacher. Some people who are inhabited by the living Jesus assemble in His name to let Him be the literal Head as they pay close attention to and obey His inner promptings.
Forcing someone who doesn’t want to be around you to spend time with you isn’t love. Surely a loving God wouldn’t do that.
The best parts of life are beyond cash value! Refuse to sell out to rebellion and moral collapse.
The intrusion
Of moral delusion
Is destructive illusion
That releases the infusion
Of much ethical confusion
In the name of inclusion.
