\f0\fs24 \cf0 Over time I've come across lots of believers and each of them have a different
story to tell. A lot of the have said that they used to try and obey Jesus and they used
to try and believe in him and made a good effort of going to church but then they said
that after a while of never really knowing him or he never really speaking to them, they
gave up and they fell away from him and decided that he was not for them. That he is just
something that doesn't exist anymore. This is a sad tragedy amongst many churchgoing
Christians today, is that most of them don't know about Jesus for the reality of who he
is. They never had a relationship with him and when they fall away and seek other doctrines,
they still don't have a relationship with him. They are still just as lost as they were
when they were being religious and reading the Bible and praying and going to church
groups, as they are now just in the world and doing whatever they think they want to
do now. Some of them have changed to Islam, Buddhism Hinduism and many other religions,
but still they don't have the reality of God in their life. Now why is this? I want to
tell you why. I can speak plainly and boldly about the truth that I have been shown because
I have see a corner of the kingdom of God and I have seen a glimpse of the reality of
Jesus Christ and he has become my reality. Jesus said that all who truly believe and
want to come after him, he will reveal himself to each and every one of them. You see Jesus
Christ is a reality who is waiting to become your reality if you would only repent and
turn away from your sins. Christians say: well I tried to see God but I never find him\'85
it's because you're blocked off because you just haven't repented yet and you are just
not serious. I saw a sinner on his knees crying before God one day after hearing the testimony
of another brother and he was feeling the touch of God upon him and he went away a changed
man. You see he caught a glimpse of the kingdom of God. But I saw other Christians standing
around looking all convicted not knowing what to do, thinking they already knew the truth
they had the Bible. Just thinking to themselves: I know all of this, I know all that it's all
good. They don't know Jesus. And then later in their life a lot of these believers become
atheists and they go to other religions because they never did believe Jesus. They never did
have true faith in him. They said they did. They strove to be religious in the churches
they went to, but they just didn't know Jesus. They didn't understand him. He just wasn't
in their life. They never had the reality of him changing them. In my dream I saw a
few Christians who were on this narrow way that Isaiah 35 talks about; the way of holiness
that goes to the kingdom of God. I saw this narrow way of true believers who were on it
in dressed in white and they were traveling on this golden highway. But there weren't
many on there. They were giving encouragement to me, but there weren't many there. It is
because if you want to enter the kingdom then you have to seriously turn away from sin and
doubt. Know most people they doubt God they don't really want to trust him. They just
don't want to get on their knees and get to know him. They doubt that he even exists and
you can't go and find God if you just doubt him. And it's more than just say I believe
in this verse and that verse and say I believe in the cross and it's all grace. It is more
than that, it is actually deciding to go and seek the Lord for yourself so you can get
changed to and become a new creation. The most Christians don't want to obey Jesus because
he is not a reality to them and they are still in their rebellion in sin. You tell them to
obey Jesus and they'll laugh at you and just go quote you out of Romans or of some other
letter in the Bible but they won't listen to the words of Jesus. It is because they
don't know him. And people who don't know him Jesus said they won't keep his commands.
Jesus said that those who don't love me wont obey my commandments. And they don't love
him that's why they don't obey his commandments. Not only do they not love him but they just
don't know him. So I want to ask you, do you want to come to know Jesus today? Then be
encouraged by what I've said today about my testimony. And you go seek yourself. And you
go cry out to Jesus and you get the reality of him come in to your life. The changed heart,
the freedom from sin, the healing you know all kinds of things, it all comes from the
supernatural power of Christ who is real right now. He is not a God that doesn't hear and
speak. He is not blind deaf and dumb like Allah and Buddha, they can't speak to you,
but Jesus can. You go to go and seek!!\ }
