Turn Your Gaze

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.  John 13:34-35 NASB

Quick moment to share with you - a revelation I first shared in spring of 2020 - I was driving down the hill from the grocery in total awe of God as His majesty was literally bursting over the hills to the south, as the sun went to sleep, I began to sense that God was saying that just as a great storm is upon this world, so is a greater wave of the Lord’s people returning to Him. 

Yes Lord!  May our walk with the Light of Jesus Christ shine amid darkness and lead us and all those You place on our paths to a new life, freed from the kingdom of darkness and returned to Your kingdom! 

It is an era where we are daily confronted with fear, loss, anxiety, stress, lies, uncertainty, sickness, yet because of God’s grace more people, many more, in our families, communities, almost every nation, are finding true joy, peace, hope, In all circumstances! Because God is all that is all that was and all that will be! Wow! Hallelujah! It’s truly amazing to witness Holy Spirit stirring revival throughout His earth, breathing His life into all who seek Him, my friends! We, get to participate in God being glorified in the darkest of days while at the same time we are being shaped into pieces of the salvation puzzle! So humbling!

Romans 10:8-15 NASB But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!”

Amen!

Turn your gaze to the Saviour. in fact keep your eyes on Him. Throughout our day we have moments that we forget to seek Jesus. Forget to ask Holy Spirit. Neglect to praise God. Yet He is always with us and always protecting us. With worldly life so deeply imbedded in technology, the majority of us have fallen into the routine of checking our phones, emails, social media from the moment that we open our eyes. We do not always give Him the undivided attention, glory and praise that He deserves and asks of His people. 

But when we break these habits and instead discipline our time by spending it with God, we will know His voice, we will discern His guidance, we will remain in relationship with Him.
