Monday Selah! Is Jesus enough or not? when I was younger and still not clear on my sonship and identity I ran from meeting to meeting, and conference to conference, and author to author, and prayer meeting to prayer meeting, and revival to revival, and from one deliverance bootcamp promising freedom and wholeness to another looking for the next great revelation or gift or anointing and miracle, and none of it seemed to satisfy or settle me at rest, for I was always still searching for the perfect leader and church and ministry and never satisfied or settled in Christ. Now I know much of that was my immaturity and I love when people have a great hunger for the Kingdom of God, but I realize now that it was not a hunger for the kingdom but a lie that I believed that Jesus was not really my all in all, or my life, but that there was MORE, and that even though I have been (past tense) blessed with EVERY spiritual blessing in Christ and been given ALL things that pertain to life and godliness, that it was still not enough. The problem with that way of thinking is that you never then become complete in Him because there is always the allure of there has to be MORE than this. This was THE LIE that got Adam and Eve removed from the garden, satan planted a lie in their minds that walking with God in the cool of the day in union and relationship as children with a Father was not enough, and that there was MORE, which produced in them a thought that what God had given them was not enough and that they were deficient in some way. It is also important to realize that what the serpent promised them they already had since they were already LIKE God, but the craftiness of the lie was to convince them that they had to become what they already were, for how else could he tempt someone who already had all they would ever need. I see wonderful people walking thru this process all the time, they go from church to church looking for that experience or the MORE and it will continually lead them to frustration until they come to the realization that HE IS ENOUGH. Now I pray that none of you misunderstand me, are there experiences and wonderful encounters that God has for us along the way, of course there are, but it is not about us attaining those things but receiving (greek= Lambano, or to take hold of) those things by faith that He has already blessed us with, but even those are not things that satisfy, I mean how many times are you going to fall on the floor, or shake under the power, or receive a healing, or miracle, or see a vision until you are complete and satisfied? Signs and wonders are to follow us and anytime we follow them Jesus called that a wicked and perverse people, simply showing us that The Lie of the enemy and his strategy has never changed, and it is to get us always looking for more and never realizing what we already have. I want to encourage all of my friends to realize that true Christianity is about being reconciled to the Father and entering a relationship with the Godhead and then He places us in a family and a household of faith, notice not a church but a household, so rather than running around like an orphan looking for more because they were never established in identity from a father or acting like a spiritual 8th grader who is never never satisfied, find the family you are supposed to be a part of and walk out those Kingdom relationships in a healthy environment of parental love and acceptance and allow the pressure of having to become something to fall off of your life, so you can simply BE. Love you all have an awesome week in the King.
