Things in this old world aren't
getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been
speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in.
Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If
you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious
outpourings of God than you can imagine.
That message isn't
just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth
today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming
soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who
don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going
to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the
disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name!
Your first
step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in
His Word. Time spent meditating in the New Testament is time spent with
Jesus.
Most people don't realize that. So, instead of getting to
know the Lord through His Word, they try to know Him through their
feelings and that just won't work.
Letting the Word dominate your
thinking is to allow the Holy Spirit to have control over your mind. As
you do that, your feelings will eventually fall in line.
Remember this: John 1 tells us that Jesus is the
Word. That means, when you spend time in it, you're spending time with
Jesus. When His Word is dwelling in you richly, then Jesus is dwelling
in you richly too!
Don't go from disaster to disaster. Take those
disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name. Press in to Jesus.
Press in to the Word and you'll make it through these dangerous days
just fine!
