Michael W. Smith released a song in the 1992 named “Love One Another” that changed my perception of what my mission was to be as a believer in Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, King, and the Son of the only Living God Almighty of creation, and it still is true in 2021 – my mission should ALWAYS be about every ONE I meet as an individual that I am supposed to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with so that person’s life can be reclaimed by the Grace of God given through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary in place of us to PAY for the cost of OUR SINS.
Now in 2021, I still believe in every part of my Christian faith in the Christian Holy Bible. Jesus Christ still died in place of each human to pay for the sins of humanity so we can be restored to a relationship with God the Father through faith in the Son’s sinless blood sacrificed in our place and with the gifts of the Holy Spirit in this world. So WHY does it seem to be so much harder to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people in a way that isn’t boring religious rules that are dead? We need an exciting RELATIONSHIP-CENTERED connection to the God of the multi-plane Universe!
Jesus Christ reached out to INDIVIDUALS. In groups, He was still personal to each of those who would cry out. That’s what Faith in the sacrificial shed blood of Jesus Christ in each person’s place and His resurrection to restore us is meant to be – PERSONAL! This is for ME, YOU, and EACH ONE who lets Him enter into your heart. HE IS THEN, NOW, AND FOREVER! If each person could only understand that YOUR INDIVIDUAL SOUL MATTERS TO GOD ALMIGHTY, then maybe everything would fall into place for you to see your important part in this life on Earth.
If this knowledge is supposed to be understood by all those who claim to be believers in Jesus Chris then WHY is church no longer personal? Why is the set number of songs, sermon points, and offering amounts the focus now? It seems that only a few years ago we used to know EACH person, EACH need, EACH prayer, EACH salvation, EACH healing, EACH deliverance, and EACH and EVERY Holy Spirit Gift in not only word but also in actual DEED! I’ve been in church services that were so alive with the Presence of God Almighty by His Spirit that I didn’t want to ever leave.
WE NEED JESUS VISION! NOT self, NOT program, NOT entertainment, NOT dead platitudes, and NOT a few memorized talking points. We NEED individual lives transformed from death to LIFE ETERNAL. Those religious things won’t give you anything but more death. True Christianity is ALIVE. When the Holy Spirit touches your soul you will FEEL it and HIM. Not an illusion, brainwashing, emotional overload, or a religious learned ability. The Holy Spirit and His gifts given to believers is part of a spiritual inheritance if Jesus is your Savior. It is also the gateway to Jesus Vision.
What does that mean? Well, Jesus Christ the Son of God Almighty allowed the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove to light on Him as a sign of His anointing. The Holy Spirit still gives signs through the Gifts if a Christian allows Him to work through that person to SHOW that God is still among us. How can we follow the mandate to go into the world and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ if we refuse His help through the Holy Spirit to give the signs of anointing so truth will be accepted? Too many charlatans have been used by the enemy to discount the Gifts but don’t be deceived by that.
Satan always has his false powers that mimic God Almighty’s real Gifts. We can’t go into this final battle while keeping the Power of God through the Holy Spirit from being IN US to work THROUGH US to reach people in ways we can’t do on our own alone. Can you not SEE the lost? Can you not HEAR the pain? Can you not FEEL the chains still binding them? If you can’t then you need to ask yourself, “Why Not?” Be honest with your answer.
JESUS forgave the sinners. JESUS healed the sick. JESUS raised the dead. JESUS told His disciples that THEY would do even greater things than He did! So what is missing in 2021 to make it seem like what Jesus said is a lie? THAT is blasphemy, so why is the so-called church showing they believe a lie every single time the church doors open and the people leave as lost, bound, dying, sinning, and otherwise incomplete as they were when they entered? What are we ALL missing? What is so wrong that we don’t even SEE the truth in front of our faces every week? WHAT?
WE NEED JESUS VISION ONCE AGAIN! Are YOU His disciple? Do you see the needs now? Do you feel the pull of the Holy Spirit that whispers in your heart that there is MORE? THEN WHY AREN’T WE DOING WHAT HE SAID!?! It’s easy to get bogged down with real world problems that we’ve seen in 2021 unlike any encountered before, but doesn’t that reality tell us that prophecy is ticking, and if we don’t move with it we’ll miss being part of it? I refuse to not be a part of the calling of God Almighty through Jesus Christ by His Holy Spirit because someone else doesn’t agree.
WE NEED JESUS VISION RIGHT NOW! Please pray…
“Father God, we come to you in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and the Savior of ALL who will believe. We believe He called us to continue His ministry here on Earth as He waits for prophecies to be fulfilled for Him to return for ALL believers saved by Grace through Faith as Christians and Messianic Jews when the ‘Church Age’ or Grace Dispensation ends. The signs of the times are pointing to what Your Word states they would in the Christian New and Old Testaments and Jewish Torah, so please unleash a Holy Ghost led Revival of JESUS VISION! Help us to bring in the last souls to be saved BEFORE the Rapture (Calling Away or Spiritual Evacuation) happens right BEFORE the Great Tribulation begins. Show us. Call us. Equip us. Restore us. ENERGIZE US! In the mighty name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit we pray so YOUR WILL IS DONE… AMEN!”
