I was blessed to wake up early enough this morning to catch a Joyce Meyer episode on TBN(it airs @ 5:30 am). The title was : "What's in a name?" Of course the name is that of Jesus Christ. She and her guests were discussing the faith behind speaking his name, whether that be in a time of prayer or just a time of need. They relayed a story of a man who saw his child in the street and a car was headed straight for the little one. This apparently all happened in a matter of seconds and the father had, literaly, no time to respond physically and he simply spoke (with faith behind it) the name of Jesus and the car came to a screeching halt with the child right in front of the front fender completely unharmed. The father afterwards walked to the driver's side of the car and the person was crying. He asked why and they said because their foot was still completely pressed to the floor on the accalerator and they never removed it to put on the brakes. With that said, Jesus Christ is who He says He is and He has all power on heaven and earth to do as He so pleases. The question is: will we acknowledge that fact? and then how will we respond to His awesome call on our lives? He uses us as fallible creatures(not an excuse to sin) but is glorified in our weaknesses. If you're someone looking @ all the faults of the Christian, you're looking at the wrong source. Jesus is our source, and that's the point. He demands that you look to him and not all His children in a growth process. He says : "Ask and it will be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened."Mttw.7:7 But here's the key, you must be willing and open to His will, not your own. Let Christ open the door to your heart this year, chances are He's already been knocking, will you respond?
Being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit is one of the surest keys to unity within the body of Christ, which is why I believe it to be no coincidence that when I asked God what to title my very first blog entry that it was He who gave me the words. May you be tremendously blessed as you explore coming to Him this Easter season. "Come near to God and He will come near to you." James 4:8
Sincerely, a blessed child of the Most High God (my *sweet* Jesus),
