The Lord is near.
Tune up your ears,
So you can hear
What Christ in you
Is saying to you.
Biblical Christianity is about the good news (gospel) of Jesus Christ and the kingdom (government) of God. (See Mark 1:1 and Matthew 24:14.) When Christians let their daily focus drift away from Jesus and what He has done and is now doing and to establish His government and authority inside the heart of each one of His followers by living and working and speaking within them, they get off track and get trapped in “another gospel.” (2 Corinthians 11:14). Accept no substitute for the good news of Jesus and His kingdom within you. Let Jesus live and speak in you and be your Lord so that moment-by-moment you seek to surrender to His presence by listening for and obeying His promptings in your heart.
Christ’s sheep hear His voice. His voice will be aligned with righteousness, holiness, truth, humility, and purity, with the 9 characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit, and with the Bible. If a thought enters your heart that so aligns, that’s the still small voice of Jesus, the beloved Son of God. Hear Him.
If Christ is living inside of you then you have spiritual insights and experiences that you need to tell people about. Ask God to remind you about what you have seen and heard the risen Jesus say and do. Ask Him for the courage to share it with other people. Then do it!
The Bible tells Christians to “speak the truth in love.” If we are not absolutely certain that something is true, we shouldn’t speak it. And if we are certain of its truth, we should speak it with humility and kindness.
Jesus can touch, heal, and transform hurting human hearts. Politics can’t.
