The Daily Grind.
Life is a complex thing Matthew. There is more to life than meets the eye the cliche says. I am a God that wants to be with you during the good times and the bad. I want to be with people during times when everything is going well and I want to especially be with people when things are not going so well. Life can sometimes get on top of you. Life can become overwhelming and it can seem day after day that people fall into what some might call a daily grind.
As you know Father I struggle with a mental illness. Sometimes I am overwhelmed with depression. When depression comes on me, I find it hard to even get out of bed and eat. I am sure many of the readers struggle with many things. I find that sometimes my life is a bit of a struggle.
Life can be hard Matthew. The idea of being a Christian is not an empty thing at all. The life and death of My Son Jesus was meant to shine a light into even your days that you live on earth today. I know that you live with depression and as of yet that isn’t healed, but I want you to draw strength in the knowledge that Jesus was a man of sorrows. Christ should not be just a man in a book to the church, but He should be your Source and your friend. I know that Jesus is indeed your friend and I know that even in you most depressed states you make good contact with Him. I wish it were so for every person on earth. I wish that they knew Jesus like you do and they knew that in His past life on earth and His current life in Heaven can be found all the keys for a successful life on earth.
I do know Jesus fairly well. I have been talking back and forth with Him for years now. I do find great comfort in having revelation about His life on earth. I share a lot about His life on earth in my two books “Finding Intimacy with Jesus”, and “Jesus Speaking Today” I was so blessed that Your Holy Spirit gave me such good revelation into the life of Jesus in those two books. Sometimes I wish that I could give those books away and that the whole world could read them. I think it is so true what you say that the keys to life can be found in the person of Jesus Christ, both in a knowledge of His past life on earth and a relationship with Him in Heaven right now. It does my heart good to know that He was a man of sorrows as Isaiah prophesied. It also does my heart good to know that He was rejected and miss understood by His peers. There is so much comfort in knowing Jesus. He really is the Way, the Truth and the Life. My life really has no purpose outside of Him.
That is one of the reasons We are having you write this book Matthew. You are a person that has spent many years getting to know Jesus. You are a person that has spent many years being led by the Holy Spirit. Indeed, it is through Jesus that you got to know who I am. No one can come to Me except that they come through the Living Door of Jesus. He is more than some historical person that lived a holy life and was killed by the Jews and the Romans. He is the Way. In Him the world is held together. In Him life makes sense. In Him are the answers pertaining to the struggle that men find on earth. Spending your time getting to know Jesus is the best use of your time that you can invest. I like to rave about My Son Jesus. I like to lift His name up. He is the righteous King of Kings. I spend time speaking to you, not only to draw close to you, but so that your readers, no matter how many that there will be are blessed.
When I first read Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh I was hungry for more of you. Little did I know that one day I would sit at my computer and type and you would speak to me. Little did I know in those years that I would ever be a writer in my own right. Now today, I sit and type and you speak and I am amazed. I see the love that You have for Your Son. I see the honour that you give Him. I see and hear that you agree that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. It warms my heart to here you speak so affectionally about the darling of Heaven. Jesus is my life. He is the breath I breathe. He is the answer to my life. My whole purpose is found in Him. He allows me to cope with my life. Knowing Him is everything to me.
I really wish that all men and woman would come to know Jesus like you do Matthew. Life on earth would be a whole lot better for all involved if people really knew Jesus. If they could feel how Jesus thinks and act like Jesus acted on earth. Oh, what a joy it would be if people were like Jesus rather than just wearing His name. My Son said, “Why do you call me Lord Lord and do not do what I say?” The same could be said today. So many people sing to Jesus and would tell you that they love Him, but their whole lives are not devoted to Him and what He taught. Jesus said that a fool builds his life on the sand. He said that if you hear what He taught and don’t do it that you are building your life on the sand. I am concerned that people claim to be followers of Jesus and yet their lives are nothing like Him. I am concerned for the church and organised religion. It seems sometimes that they are more about keeping up appearances then preaching and doing the truth.
My heart aches for you Father. You seem to speak like Your words have been going forth but no one is listening.
People want to find meaning for life. Be want to get off the merry go round and stop the drudgery of the daily grind. But they cannot see that abiding with may Son, the vine, is the only way to have a meaningful life and have an existence that counts for anything. I speak so much about My Son and what He taught because in it there is life and peace. In His wisdom is the wisdom of the ages. My Son came and shared the answers to successful living and rather then preaching His commands and sharing what He taught people just seem to preach and play religion. There is so much blindness in My church. The people are blind and they are getting taught many times by blind guides. The church is in decline because many people cannot stomach religion and empty soulless rules and regulations. The church need to rise up and walk just as Jesus walked. It is time that the true apostles and prophets arise and lead My people into the promised land of freedom, power and provision.
I am amazed to hear you speak. You sound just like Jesus and the Holy Spirit. You speak right to my heart. I wish that millions of people could read this. The church really needs to hear this stuff.
I love My church. I don’t want people to get the wrong idea about what I am saying. The church in many respects is doing a fine job. There are many passionate Christians that know my Son’s commands and walk in them. There are many people that are awake and are not blind to the truth but for the large part they are maligned and miss understood like my Son was. There exists truth in the Bible, it is as clear as day, but like the Jews have a veil over their eyes, much of the church has been blinded by the god of this world. I want people to wake up. I want people not only to focus on what Jesus taught but start to abide in Jesus and do everything He taught. I want My Church to walk hand in hand with Jesus though their week and not just sing songs on a Sunday.
I feel your heart. I am with you.
I have so much for you dear reader. I want you to know my Son. I want you to know who He was when He was on earth. i want you to know Him now and have a conversational relationship with Him. I want you to go to your Bible and highlight everything He said to do and not to do. Then I want you with the power of the Holy Spirit working through you to start to obey what He taught. I want you to be a little Jesus and walk with Him. There is no time for one day a week Christianity. The world needs you. The world needs answers. The world needs help. There is no time to waste. It is time to follow in the footsteps of the the Christ. Its about time to each become anointed ones. It’s time for you to shine like the stars in the Heavens. It’s time not only to prosper but it is time that you help others prosper. It is time to leave the daily grind behind and start to live life with purpose and meaning! Be blessed.
