Do You Have Your Own Jesus?

Knowing the truth (the person Jesus Christ) makes you free. It is not what you know as much as it is who you know. Eve reached for knowledge outside of knowing Him (relationship) and the heavens closed. It is relationship knowledge of Jesus that sets you apart from a religious world and it is this relationship knowledge that empowers you with His continued abiding presence. Do you know Him in relationship or just about Him (a revelation)? Is He a book to you or a living, breathing Jesus that is your very life content? When you hear his name does it cause your heart to jump in anticipation? Who is He to you? Do you have your own Jesus?

As I share my own Jesus with you I hope to foster in you a fresh passion to know your own Jesus. Not a Jesus your mother knew or your favorite person or preacher knows, but your very own relationship with your very own Jesus. It's not about a doctrine or a certain church or affiliation. It hinges only on one thing and that is a true face to face relationship with a living, breathing person Jesus Christ. It is more than just knowing Him as Savior in your initial salvation experience. It is bigger than just knowing Him as your baptizer and experiencing tongues and gifts in Pentecost. He invites all of us to the top of the mountain or to the place of knowing Him in fullness, the loving room. The invitation has gone out and the place of wedded bliss is awaiting your reply.

Most of my time was caught up in seeking Him and never really finding Him. I was on the right trail because He was the right one to seek but I was never coming to the relationship knowledge of Him. There was no satisfaction in seeking; the satisfaction came when I found Him. Always hearing about an intimate relationship with one I could never find was hard thing to do. The seeking stopped when I realized I was the place He had FOUND to dwell continually. This is the place called Abiding. I am in Him and He is in me. Where else is there to look for Him when we are face to face. I have found the one my soul adores. Do you have your own Jesus?

When I found out that I was married to Him and He married me on the cross, that changed everything. He must have known my old man was dead or He would have never married me. I was a bride for a day but I am now the Lambfs wife forever. I stopped living as though I was just promised to Him someday and started living out of the union that was ours to enjoy. If I am not married to Him now then how can I have intimate relationship with one that I am only promised to someday? As a result, everything that is birthed out of that intimacy is then illegitimate. The womb of the morning receives the seed of Christ and the evidence that I have been with Him in a place of intimacy in face to face relationship (the loving room) is the growth of His seed in me. This is the time of His showing. Do you have your own Jesus?

You were the reason Jesus came. Not to just die for you because you were a sinner but just simply because He loved you. If you said yes and I will to the wedding vows then you know Him as Savior. Why stop there? Go all the way with Him and experience Him in the fullness of the loving room. That is not just a one time experience but a continual daily encounter with Him face to face. Why sip when there is a supper and why drink milk when meat is available? Heaven is not the goal, Jesus is. If you said yes to Him Heaven is secure for you, but here on earth there is a whole new realm of Him yet to be explored. Do you have your own Jesus?
