Feasting on the Presence of “The Top Three!”

My wife and I feast on the presence and reality of “The Top Three”– God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit–the Three in One! “O taste and see that the Lord is good.” God has “given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” “For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.” (Bible quotes are from the New King James Version.)

Jesus said: “I am the bread of life.” Routine church services are quickly forgotten but getting out of religious ruts and feasting on the presence of the living God, make lasting memories.

People need demonstrations of God’s presence, power, and sacrificial love more than they need religious information about Him. When people personally and consistently experience God’s presence, power, and sacrificial love, they will persistently pursue more information about Him. However, when they are only given information about God, they will have little or no desire to actively, personally, and passionately pursue His presence, power, and sacrificial love.

Jesus leaves
The ninety-nine
For the one
Who’s gone astray.
Who’s there
Pursuing you?
It’s Jesus.
He’s everywhere.
No matter
Who you are
Or where you run
You can find
Jesus, God’s Son.
To repent
Is to stop
Trying to avoid
His presence
And reality.

Engaging in behaviors that produce guilt is not the way to find freedom from guilt. Human anger is not the fruit of the Spirit. It has another source. Learn to continually feast on “The Top Three.”
