Good morning blessed ones!

Everywhere I go, I see how people have so many needs and the only way for us to meet those needs is to be IMMERSED IN THE LIFE OF GOD. We as believers want to be in a place where we are ready for any emergency; where, with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we are so filled with zeal and proclamation of the gospel that we are able to move satanic power, disturb the world out of complacency and make it feel uncomfortable.

The reason the world is not seeing Jesus is because Christian people are not filled with Jesus and IMMERSED IN THE LIFE OF GOD. They are satisfied with weekly meetings, occasionally reading the Bible, and sometimes praying.

See, our lives are not to be for ourselves because if we live to ourselves, we will die; but if we, through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds of the body, we shall live (Romans 8:13).

It was very common for Jesus, after He healed the multitudes all day to want to go to His Father and pray all night. Why? He wanted a source of strength and power. He knew this would bring everything else to a place of submission. When Jesus came down from the mountain after praying all night, He would come in contact with the demon power and it had to to out. When He came across sickness, it had to leave.

Our goal in life should be to be conformed into the image of the Lord Jesus Christ. To me, it’s an awful thing to see people who profess to be Christians and be living lifeless, powerless lives, where their lives are so parallel with the world’s, that it is difficult to tell the difference. I find many people live in the place described by Paul in Romans 7:25,

  • So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

If you are living in this place, this is where sin is in the ascendency. But I want to encourage you that if you will draw near to God, the power of God will come to you and it will separate you from yourself.

I exhort you to search the Scriptures because you will see that there is so much life in them for you. They are full of liberty and freedom.

Let’s walk in the light as He is in the light so we can have unbroken fellowship with the Father and the Lord Jesus and do what Jesus says we can do from John 14:12,

  • “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father.”

Immersed in the life of God,
