Come, Lord Jesus

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
Philippians‬ ‭3:20‭ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.3.20.NASB1995

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.1.NASB1995

‭‭As the day of Christ’s return draws closer and closer and as I long for that glorious day, my heart still yearns for more time as I look around me at all the lost souls in need of a Savior.

Will you pray along with me for opportunities to share the living gospel with the world?  Time is running out.

🌹He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

He Will Speak

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I (Jesus) go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. John‬ ‭16:7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.7.NASB1995


But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. John‬ ‭16:13 NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.16.13.NASB1995


Here, Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the Holy Spirit. This message is also for every born again believer. This message is good news for the believer. Through the Holy Spirit we can hear the voice of God. “whatever He hears, He will speak”. The Holy Spirit will speak truth that guides us.

Now that is reassuring good news. Are you listening?

🌹He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Lamplight

“No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear (healthy), your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.
Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.” Luke‬ ‭11:33‭-‬36‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.11.34.NASB1995‭‭

The light of Jesus is given to every believer saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

That light is not to be put in a cellar, under a basket nor container*¹, nor under a bed*². The light is to give light to all who enter, to all in the house*³.

The light is not for the believer alone, it is to be shared with, given to others.
Jesus is the Light that shines through an obedient, following believer. Your eye is the light to your body.

‭‭to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’
Acts‬ ‭26:18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/act.26.18.NASB1995

So what are you doing with the Light who lives in you?

🌹for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

Be Holy

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
1 Peter‬ ‭1:13‭-‬16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

How can I be holy? Only by the living, holy and perfecting power of Christ in me.

Living and Active Word

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.4.12.NASB1995‭‭

‭‭‭‭The word of God is living! Are you living?
for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.1.23.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is active. Is it actively working in you?

For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.2.13.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. Are you taking up the sword?
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians‬ ‭6:17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.6.17.NASB1995‭‭

The word of God is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Are you allowing the word to transform you? Beware . . .
He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. John‬ ‭12:48‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

God’s Word is So, So Good

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalms‬ ‭19:7‭-‬10 ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.19.10.NASB1995

The Word of the Lord,
Restores the soul
Makes wise the simple
Rejoices the heart
Enlightens the eyes

The Seed is The Word

Recommended reading: Luke 8:11-21

‭‭“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
Luke‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.11.NASB1995

‭‭But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.
Luke‬ ‭8:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.15.NASB

The soil of an honest and good heart will grow the seed of God’s word. Hold fast the Word of God watering the soil with perseverance and you will bear fruit to the glory of God.

Application of The Word

“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
Luke‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.11.NASB1995

The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
Luke‬ ‭8:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.14.NASB1995

🌹The word of God is of no use to you or anyone else unless it is applied to your life; unless it is practiced under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer.

Effectual Doer

Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.
James‬ ‭1:21‭-‬25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.21.NASB1995

Humbly receive the word.
Know the word.
A doer will practice the word.
A doer will be blessed.
