My Hope-Filled Place

My hope is near.
My hope is here.
My hope is nothing less
Than to live in the presence
Of Emmanuel, God with us.
The risen Jesus is now
The ever-present
Hope of glory,
The Great Shepherd
Of the sheep,
Powerfully living inside of
And personally directing
Whosoever will surrender to
And abide in His presence.
Open your inner ear
And begin to daily hear
And to faithfully obey
What Jesus has to say
Directly to you.
Let Him steer
You from within.
“Be of good cheer,”
Because His perfect love
Casts out fear.

My favorite place to be is in the presence of the living, resurrected Jesus Christ. No matter where I visit throughout the day, in His presence is the place I want to stay.

Jesus in reality is much more powerful than Jesus in religion! The more you focus on the risen Jesus the less you’ll be controlled by your feelings and desires.

Jesus is continually revealing Himself to people, but we too often re-veil Him. Christianity without the living, resurrected Jesus Christ is a hollow shell.

The body of Christ is called to be a Spirit-led community where people are prompted and directed by the risen Jesus. That’s the unity of the Spirit.
