Jesus’ inner energy changes perspectives

Steady streams 
 Of inner energy 
 Entered me 
 When Jesus 
 Entered my heart. 

Delight & felicity 
 Aren't found through folly 
 But forged by faith.

Jesus can make 
 Joy the norm 
 In your life. 
 Even in a storm.

How can church members be of one heart and one mind, if they only hear from one preacher and not from one another? We don’t need somebody to continually tell us about Jesus. Instead we need to continually experience Him for ourselves.

If we’re not growing closer to Jesus and becoming more like Him, then we aren’t following Jesus. I find amazing joy in reading the Bible and being in awe of the truths it shows me as it connects with my heart.

When people experience and testify about Jesus, they get far more excited about Him than if they just hear a talk about Jesus. Wealth, entertainment, sex, intoxication, power, fame — these aren’t the way to lasting joy and contentment. Jesus is the way.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
