Humans need invisible food in order to keep hope alive. Burgers and fries (and even broccoli and carrots) don’t offer enough nourishment for people to thrive. For inner healing and mental health, we need to daily dine on the encouragement of inner peace, joy, and kindness. We all need the nourishment of faith, hope, and love.

One day Christ’s disciples were concerned that He wasn’t eating. He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” He was talking about feeding on the Spirit of God. “O taste and see that the Lord is good.” (See John 4:31-33.)

God told Moses that His name is I AM. I AM is the Almighty, the eternal Creator of all that exists. He is directly communicating with people today and calling us to exit our self-effort and self-focused lifestyle and to continually give our all to Him.

Jesus (Emmanuel–I AM with us) said: “My sheep hear My voice.” To be “led by the Spirit” we must hear and obey the voice (the inner promptings) of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

Jesus is the fire that burns within the heart of His surrendered followers and empowers and directs them through the inner flames of His Spirit. Will we “walk in the Spirit” or will we quench the Spirit and live by our human thoughts, feelings, and desires? I AM is calling you. Will you go where He sends you and say what He tells you to?

Seeing the Holy Spirit work is as easy as 1-2-3.

1) Gather with a small group of people who want to directly hear from the risen Jesus.

2) Have everyone present listen to Jesus and notice what He says or does in her or his own heart.

3) Let each person say and/or do whatever Jesus prompts him or her to say and/or do.

If you do these things, you will experience the risen Jesus working in and through the people present in deeply heart-touching ways as the Holy Spirit directly leads the meeting.
