“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” —
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
Do you sometimes feel like you wish you could really speak to Jesus at a gathering? I mean, we know that He has assured us, “where two or three are gathered, there I will be in the midst” – and of course we know that to be true. However – sometimes the thought of Him sitting at a dinner with us, or sitting alongside us on a bench – would be beyond anything anyone can imagine, don’t you agree?
We Have Victory Through Christ!
In the future – when we’re called home – we won’t have to imagine any longer, cause it will become a reality, one in which we can barely grasp in our human minds at this time. But suffice it to say, for the followers of Christ – it will be our “permanent home” one day. Until such a day and time – how “do we speak to Jesus?” How do we commune with Him? Below is some of the ways to being “in touch” with Him:
- Read His message/Word : Communicating with Him this way is an intimate way of being “one” with Christ. We adhere to His doctrine, His gospel. And we hold fast to His promises.
- Be an example: Representing Jesus in all facets of our lives. By showing compassion, understanding. Recognizing those in need, and helping. Promoting encouragement to others, while offering the Word offering seeds and wisdom.
- Meditating: Sitting alone – praying quietly while “listening” actively for what He wishes to express to us. Sometimes, we need to sit and “listen.” Without saying one words, or having one thought. Just our eyes and heart focused on Him.
- Put Him First: By placing Him above all things, and everyone else – we are solidifying our love and trust and faith in Him and Him alone. Him first. Everything else second.
We Have Victory Through Christ!
Our life as it is – is truly just a temporary journey. We are here for a purpose, and the purpose of our life is according to His will. We are here to do a job for the LORD and to carry ourselves as Christians, with respect for the Holy Spirit that resides in each one of us, and to “listen and act” according to that will and purpose so designed by the LORD for each one of us.
We have Victory Through Christ!
When we encounter things of “this world” we can be jarred, albeit temporarily – because our LORD will carry us through and place us on the path of righteousness, when we are for Him, and with Him. And honestly – who would want to be on any other path than the one that leads straight to Him?
We have Victory Through Christ!
So although many of us wonder, “what it would be like to sit with Jesus openly” -we know that is a distant reality one day – so for now – keep doing all according to His beautiful plan, and promote His glory, while staying faithful to Him with every single breath we breathe, each and every second of our days and nights!
We have Victory Through Christ!
“LORD- may we do all things according to Your plans, and Your will, show us the paths we should be walking upon, lead us to always performing Your will here on earth, and may we glorify You in all we say, do, and feel, in Jesus precious name, Amen.”
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world…” 1 John 4:4 (KJV)
