My favorite weather is sunshine in my heart. I enjoy that kind of beautiful inner weather day and night by letting the Son of God continually shine in and be the literal King to rule over my thoughts, feelings, and desires and by gathering with other Christ-followers in a King Jesus group.
Does much of Christianity betray King Jesus? To betray people is to be disloyal to them. To put our desires, feelings, or program ahead of the risen King Jesus and His will seems to me to be a form of disloyalty to Him. When we gather for worship are we loyal to the living King Jesus and His presence in our midst or have we shifted our loyalty to a religious format that we feel comfortable with?
A King Jesus group goes beyond an outward “form of godliness” (2 Timothy 3:5) by allowing everyone present to listen to, follow, and obey King Jesus during the meeting. (Romans 8:14 & 1 Corinthians 14:26) It opens the door for the kingdom of God where the risen Jesus can literally be the reigning and ruling King, not just a mere figurehead King whose leadership and authority has been replaced by human leadership and human authority.
A King Jesus group is hard to find. It is a group of Christ-followers who gather to focus on, listen to and obey the risen King Jesus. If you find one and participate in it, it will help you grow closer and closer to Christ. A King Jesus group isn’t led by a program, by an agenda, or by a pastor, but by the Spirit of Christ.
If you can’t find a King Jesus group, you can open your home to one. Invite a few people who love Jesus to gather with you. Ask Jesus to take charge and be the Head (the King) of the gathering. Then have everybody be still and listen to Jesus. He said: “My sheep heart My voice,” so take Him at His word and have everybody present listen to what He is saying to them and then say and/or do what He is telling them to.
The results will be powerful. Instead of confusion there will be amazing order. Instead of dry religion there will be vibrant spiritual life. Instead of isolation there will be beautiful heart-to-heart connection with Jesus and with one another.
In a King Jesus group, instead of listening to someone mentally analyze the Bible, we absorb it with our heart as King Jesus prompts us to quote, read, and share insights about passages of Scripture. It’s always amazing how it all comes together in a beautiful mosaic of understanding the Bible.
King Jesus groups can change a nation. If all the Christians in the USA (or any other nation) would continually listen to and radically obey the risen Jesus it would truly make the nation great. If you make your country more religious but you don’t personally get closer and more obedient to the risen Jesus, you’ve missed the whole point of the kingdom of God. However, when your inner self-kingdom surrenders fully to the kingdom of God, the outer kingdom (country) where you live will be greatly impacted by the radical changes in you!
