Once when I was begging God for answers, the Holy Spirit released these words in my heart: “The answer is: you have the answer.” In a flash I realized that I didn’t need more religious explanations and dry information. I suddenly knew that all I needed to do is to continually focus on and follow Christ’s inner promptings and be enamored by His presence inside of me day by day. What marvelous peace, joy, insights, and miracles that releases!

An angry and hostile religious man was traveling the road to Damascus to arrest Christ-followers and take them to jail. Suddenly he encountered the risen Jesus. In a moment of insight, epiphany, and revelation his attitude was completely changed. He surrendered to the risen Jesus and began to listen to and obey Him moment-by-moment for the rest of his life. His writings are part of the bestselling book of all time and have released supernatural revelation within untold millions of people throughout the centuries. Have they revealed the risen Jesus to you and compelled you to pursue Him with all your heart?

Two discouraged and depressed Christ-followers were walking along the road to Emmaus, when the risen Jesus came by and began to walk with them. They had spent a lot of time with Jesus, knew Him well, and had even heard that Jesus had risen that very morning, but with all that information about Jesus, they didn’t recognize His presence.

As the risen Jesus spoke with them, His words began to burn in their heart. When they arrived at their destination, they invited that “stranger” to come in and spend more time with them. They asked Him to sit down with them and offered Him food. As He broke the bread, they suddenly realized who He is, and He vanished from their physical sight. They were instantly filled with the unspeakable joy of spiritual revelation, “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and went running to tell their friends about the living Jesus. Running to tell people about the reality, love, and presence of the risen Jesus is the most fun way to exercise. Have you experienced such a revelation that makes you run to tell people about it?

Religion and politics separate people, but the risen Jesus connects them heart-to-heart. When people who have experienced the risen Jesus tell how He has worked in their life, it touches human hearts. Testify!
