"Following CHRIST JESUS"

     Many of you have come to appreciate the fact that I talk with you on a daily basis, and then for many others of you, it tends to be somewhat of a chore. For those of you who do appreciate it, you tend to look forward to Our conversation and learning from JESUS CHRIST and Me when We talk with each other. There are others of you who live day to day with the expectation of hearing from Me, but sometimes you do not listen to Me because you work to prevent yourself from hearing Me. I do not want anyone to feel as if they have to listen to Me, because as some of you know, some people do not want to hear Me at all for one reason or another, just as many of the Israelites did not want to hear Me speak. Some people even feel that if they do not listen and hear they will have an excuse for not doing, being, or even seeing things as they should. But as anyone with any sense at all will realize, there are many other ways for Me to communicate whatever I need to say to any of you, whether you want to hear it or not.
     Blessed are you who are eager to hear from Me even if it is a word of correction or discipline at times. Some of you find that there is more to life than just listening to and hearing Me, there is the doing of what you have heard as well if you truly want to walk in obedience to Me which is what The Lord JESUS CHRIST did. Remember that in John 8:28-29 JESUS said; (28) “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. (29) And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him. JESUS, of course, was here to lead by example, and those who follow His example will indeed be blessed. There are and will always be those who will want to do things their own way, go their own way, and say what they want to say despite what I have to say, and I have allowed them that freedom and that right to do so. Those of you who want to follow the example of CHRIST JESUS will do so with joy and blessed you will be for so doing, in His Holy and Most Precious Name.

AMEN
