“If the message of Jesus is true. Then, what He said is also true. And, that means, we must truly realize the desperate lost condition we are in. Do most people realize where they are in actuality? No. But, God did! And, He has done something about it for us! This world keeps people deceived about God’s love. But the message still remains. And, it is not secret. For who ever wants Jesus. All the time. He is available!
But, there is coming a time when time is over in this fallen natural realm. That’s true for us personally and in the general total sense. We all make our choice what we’ll do with Jesus. Do we believe what He said or not? It makes all the difference to each one of us personally.
Don’t reject the love of God displayed through Jesus. He did all that He did for you. But, you have your part to play in the matter because you have a will of your own. It’s YOU that must receive the free gift! There is nothing more important for you to consider before God.
Is the message of Jesus really true? I know it is in my life! After 52 years, I have proven what He said is true. Over and over again. And, I have experienced His love and care in my life.
Jesus ever abides with those who receive Him. I am solid on the truth of the Bible now more than ever. After a lot of study over the years, do I understand it all? No. Far from it! It’s a deep, deep book. As deep as you want to go. The complexities are many. But, it’s also a simple book. So, everyone can understand the message of Jesus and eternal life with God!
Essentially, after humanity fell from perfection, our connection to God was severed. The ONLY way to span the separation between us was God’s plan to get Jesus into the earth. To actually become a man like us. In order to become sin with OUR sin. So we, the sinful ones, could join with Him in His eternal life!
A simple message of love and faith in God is what we have been given. It is His love extended to us every one! Whosoever will believe! When we come into an understanding within ourselves that God is after our good, we can understand why He sent Jesus to us.
One main problem with many people is they assume they are fine with God. Or, maybe that they do more good things than bad things in their life. Hoping that their good works will be enough to get them into heaven.
But, it does not work that way. God looks upon our hearts. And He sees the true of us. Since the fall, we have been dealing with partial understanding. Very limited perception of the truth of ourselves, others, and our fallen environment.
This present earth is not what God created in the beginning. Nor are we existing the way He originally created us to be. Far from it! Among many other things, physically and mentally, we had perfect body function, and we had complete 100 percent of our brain function. Not like we have now.
We could utilize all of our brain power in the beginning! Our spirit was perfect, connected to God’s life, and in charge of our total being. We were never sick or diseased. What was sickness and disease? We didn’t know! It didn’t exist. We didn’t know what lack of anything was. There was abundance everywhere! We did not even know what death was then. But, we found out when we turned out back on God–falling below the angels. And, subjugated ourselves to a purely evil fallen angel and his evil bunch!
And, that’s where all of creation on earth find themselves right now. In a fallen, diseased, poverty stricken, calamity filled and death filled world with demons flying around in the unseen realm all the time deceiving people! The paradise we had before was gone. Perfection was gone! Now, death ruled us!
Though we are advancing in knowledge at an unprecedented rate, the major blindness still exists in humanity. Our real condition before God is hidden. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 explains, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Who is the god of this world? Little “g”. Satan! Why are things so messed up? Satan is running the chaos and the control down here. Why are people’s lives messed up? Because people are blind to the truth of Jesus. Satan has blinded their minds to the truth of them and what is really going on! People are yielding to the enemy!
They are unwittingly allowing demons to take them into wrong directions and wrong decisions. Bringing them into bad places. Why? Because they don’t see what is happening in the unseen realm around them!
Why? Because they can’t perceive the total of reality (the demonic spirits, etc.) as a result of their fallen condition! I’m talking about the human race here! If they can’t see or perceive the truth of Jesus, they are actually living in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4! The REAL deceptive matrix! Now, that’s the truth!
Also, in like manner, Christians can be blinded by the demons as well. The demons can even get believers into a place of blindness about themselves. I’ve seen it many times. I have been there myself. So, I know!
When we get hold of the truth through Jesus, no longer are we the devil’s patsies! Through Jesus, we are devil masters! We have the authority of Jesus inside of us! The authority and power of Jesus in us now is so much more powerful than what the devils can muster. They are just fallen angels. That’s all! For us, their real power is only deception. That is all they can do to a believer who knows who they are and what they have!
But, what if you as a believer don’t know this? What if you just look at yourself like the world looks at themselves? Well, you can have all the authority of Jesus inside you, if you are a believer, and you do, which is far greater than all the devils put together, but, if you don’t realize it, they will be able to deceive and dominate you! They will run you over if you allow them. They are mean and they are pushy! But, they are no problem to the one who has Jesus!
They will work in the darkness of our perceptions and plant their evil mind seeds of distraction, deception and destruction. Do we understand that? Because of our fallen perceptions that exist now, how can anyone see what the devil is doing in the unseen spiritual realm without Jesus?
I have studied after some really nice and extremely intelligent people who have so many things correct in their thinking, but they are blind as a bat to the reality of demons deceiving them. It almost does not seem possible.–That people who seem enlightened in so many areas could be so blind to their own condition before God and to their position with Satan! But, there it is! They really are!
Well, what I’m talking about is not religion! This is reality! Jesus brings us reality, friend! Through His truth we can perceive the enemy’s agendas against us. Jesus leads us through the matrix supernaturally. By His Spirit within us! We can perceive through Him! We can see ourselves properly the way God sees us! It all starts when we decide to believe and receive Jesus for ourselves! It’s all about relationship! Relationship with Jesus! Then, we continually grow in our understanding as He brings us along. It’s Huge!
Are believers still blind after Jesus comes in? Yes, in some ways we still are, just like the world. Because we still are living now in fallen bodies just like them! But, the difference is, we have Jesus inside now who leads us as we look to Him. The eternal life of God is in us when we have Jesus!
We follow Jesus by faith in what He says to us inside. We follow Jesus by what He said in His Word, the Bible. As we live in faith, we learn more and more about our relationship and how close Jesus really is in us! Joined with us! We are in Him. We can perceive ourselves, others, and the world, correctly through Jesus! In essence we are in touch with reality itself!
These days, the scientists are unraveling the fabric of the building blocks of the material realm. Which is exciting! The more they discover, the more it exposes the reality of The Creator Himself! The heavens declare the glory of God! And, will continue to do so! No matter how much they find out!
But, what is mind blowing is their blindness to the obvious truths of the spiritual realm. Some have even been talking about and discovering truths about multiple universes and realms. And, there are! But God is in all of them! There is no other true reality anywhere that He is not present.
God has given us a will that is exclusively ours. To decide who we will serve. Will we continue to serve satan and be under his domination, or will we awaken to Jesus and receive and serve Him? It’s up to each of us what we will do.
Here’s a simple question about who you and I will serve. Who really loves us? Satan or Jesus? Well, it’s obvious which one! He’s the One who died and was raised from the dead for us. To bring us into His reality and out of the devil’s deception!
If the good news of Jesus is true, (and it is) then all that has to happen is for us to believe it and live in it. Receive Hm by faith. To live with Him by faith is the best way to live. When we do, we learn to live completely another way than we did before. We learn to look to Jesus in dependence to Him and His Word.
Some would say that to live like this means we are weak. No. We just understand that Jesus sees more than we are able to see on our own. And, we look to Him to guide us through the things we cannot see or comprehend, So, in the final analysis, it really comes down to us and Jesus inside.
This life is temporary! So, this place is NOT our destination! As we all know, we will someday leave earth and our fallen bodies will no longer dominate us.–keeping us in the dark about many things. Then, we will step into the spirit realm fully alive and fully aware because of Jesus! He is with us now! And, He will be with us then! He will never leave us! Ever! Do you believe that?
Until then, we live by faith in Jesus and His word! His word is truth. His leading in us is true! But, one important thing here is for us to develop keen hearing inside. Because, since Jesus leads us every day, (and He does), we must learn to listen to Him inside. His ways are right paths for us individually. He leads us into places of peace and wisdom.
What are you being led by? What is it that motivates you? Why are you doing it? If you don’t know Jesus is not leading you there, you may be going in a wrong direction. How would you know without hearing from Jesus? You may think you know, but there are many things you cannot see about the future. But, He does! Why not turn your life in total over to Jesus to help you and guide you into His best for your life?
That is the smart thing to do! Even if you don’t get it right sometimes, it is much better for you to keep practicing, listening and obeying His leading. Hearing Him more accurately each day, you’ll find yourself in a good place. The place where He wants you to live and enjoy.
Having relationship with Jesus is the best we can attain to in this present world. What many people are aspiring to achieve means little in the eternal scope of things. That is, without Jesus. The best we can realize in this life is to follow Him and be about what He is showing us to do or not to do. Then, we can expect it all to turn out for our best.
He is for us not against us! We can sometimes find ourselves in opposition to what He wants for us. But, we don’t have to stay there! We can seek Jesus and find His way on things. Knowing that what He has for us is far better than what we have for us! Do you believe that?” KF KenFletcher.org
