Learn to yearn for more of Jesus!

Heart-level connection with the living Jesus can’t be explained in human words. It must be experienced to be understood.

Simply to learn
Bible information
But not to yearn
To experience
What you learn
Is to neglect
To discern
Your great need
To grow in grace
By following Christ
And letting
Your heart burn
To more closely
Connect with Him
And to turn
Away from
Every distraction.

Log on to Jesus
Remove the many masks
From your heart.
Begin to evade
The charade
That you parade
For others to see.
Let your ego fade.
Openly confess the mistakes
That you’ve made
And humbly step out
Of the dark shade
Into God’s truth and light.
Return from where you’ve strayed.
Let Christ’s presence pervade
Every part
Of your heart!

True Christianity is about experiencing and maintaining heart-to-heart connection with the risen Jesus and with His followers. Modern Christians have been trained to connect with and listen to a pastor but not to Jesus and to His everyday followers. Part-time Christ-followers miss out on much quality time with the risen Jesus.

If you are connected heart-to-heart with Christ, you will be automatically connected at a deep level to others who are connected to Christ. Learn to discover, nurture, and treasure those Spirit-led connections.

Heart-level connection with the living Jesus can’t be explained in human words. It must be experienced to be understood.

Jesus came to heal any disconnection between you and God so that you may overflow with God’s presence, peace, love and joy. If you will set aside everything that’s in between you and God and humbly listen to and obey His voice throughout the day, He will lead you to amazing and joyous connection with Him. A closed heart can’t connect with other hearts or with God’s Comforter (the Holy Spirit) and often feels isolated, alone, troubled and misunderstood.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.” “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”

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!
