It saddens me that people run from conference to conference to get the latest teaching, to get a fresh impartation, and a personal prophecy. People go to great lengths to find the peace of God that Jesus promised those that would follow Him. Many people have heard of the presence of God, and perhaps experience it once a week in worship, but fewer people experience that presence 24/7.
Jesus did not say "Come to me all of you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest" if that were not possible. Do you struggle with worries, concerns, and fears? Do you know how to lay them at the feet of Jesus and walk through life in a state of rest? Do you know how to cease from your striving and your need to perform and live from a place of true inner peace and contentment. Jesus does not want to be distant. Jesus wants to be here, right here with you. Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Do you believe that? Do you think that you can walk in the manifest presence of Jesus every single day?
Jesus is Immanuel, God with us. He does not want to be stuck in Heaven and someone that you approach after a whole lot of confession and repentance . No! He wants to be with you. He wants to be here with us, each and every day. He does not want us to go through struggles each day alone. He wants to be here with us facing each challenge as a team. Is this sort of life possible? Yes it is because I live this sort of life.
