I asked the Lord for a word for the Body of Christ and I heard this:
“I want my people to know that I am with them. I want them walking in truth. I have come to save the world. Seek repentance. Seek holiness and righteousness. Don’t doubt that I am real. Know that I am with you. Even now. Jesus.”
As Christians it’s important to know Jesus is with us. When we lose sight of this, it is very easy to become focused on the world and caught up in our problems, instead of focusing on things above. Jesus is our strength and only when we look to him can we receive that strength. Remember when Peter walked on water? He did what was impossible when his eyes were on the Lord. However when he noticed how strong the wind was he became afraid and began to sink. The same thing happens to us when we take our eyes off the Lord. We become overcome by our trials and problems and start to sink. But when you know that Jesus is with you, you will draw your strength from him and be an overcomer.
Remember also we need to seek repentance from dead works. We can’t live the way we always have. When we come to Jesus and lay our life down he changes us. We don’t come to him and stay the same. We need to be born again and become a new creation. We need to seek holiness and righteousness. Without these things we will not see the Lord.
I hope this message helps you in your walk.
God bless.
