The Attraction of Ahas

Daily writing prompt
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

Nothing can be closer to me than the attraction of insights and “ahas” because they occur within me–inside of my heart and mind. So many of them come to me that it’s hard to visit with all of them. Occasionally I let some slip away or overlook them. Nonetheless, I continually hunger and thirst for more of God’s glorious revelations to my heart.

Christians like to misquote half of a biblical statement. “Eye hasn’t seen and ear hasn’t heard what God has prepared for those who love Him.” However, they almost always leave off the ending: “But God has revealed it to us.” Christianity is all about divine revelation that comes directly from the living God to your heart.

Behold the Lamb of God! Hear His voice! Physical eyes and ears can’t see or hear Him. Instead, look and listen to the invisible One (Hebrews 11:27), “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Surrender your heart to God the Father’s supernatural revelation so that He can begin to change you deep within (from glory to glory) into His very own image.

Take the veil of darkness off of your face. Humbly and continually ask God to shine and to brighten His light of revelation inside your heart (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Religion is based on scripted sights and sounds, but a relationship with Christ (Colossians 1:27) relies on direct heart-to-heart revelation from God the Father (Matthew 16:17) and the ongoing leading of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14). It’s true that things that God has prepared for the people who love Him can’t be seen by the human eye, heard by the natural ear, or conceived by logical thinking, but God reveals them to humble, spiritually hungry people through the supernatural presence of His Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:9-10) Refuse to settle for less.

Fight (1 Timothy 6:12) the pride (James 4:6) of your fallen human nature. Cast it down (2 Corinthians 10:5) and throw it aside. Humble yourself (1 Peter 5:6) so that you can prepare the way of the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 3:4-6) in your heart and make room for God the Holy Spirit to freely flow out of your innermost being with the glorious rivers (John 7:38) of God the Father’s supernatural revelation.

(When churches focus on what the human eye can see, what the physical ear can hear, and what the logical mind can conceive, instead of on proclaiming the invisible Lordship of the risen Jesus and demonstrating the presence, reality and revelation of the kingdom of God, we’re living in a dark age. When the words on our lips aren’t in sync with our heart, that’s hypocrisy. See Matthew 15:8.)

Sincerely say these words from your heart to the risen Jesus Christ:

“Lord Jesus, I sincerely invite You to come and live in me and to take full control of my life. I will notice what You say to me in and through my conscience. I will listen for Your voice in my heart. I will obey Your inner nudgings and promptings. Anytime I ignore You or stray from You, please remind me and draw me back. Thank You for coming into my heart, showing me that You are real, and empowering me to daily follow and obey You.”

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."
