HAS JESUS MOVED OUT OF YOUR LIFE?

I want to share a truth with you today, a truth that reflects on the status of your relationship with Jesus.

​

If you feel confused and even forgotten about by God; more than that, if you don't understand why, I want to remind you of what Jesus said.  

​

— John 14:21 The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.] 22 Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself [make Yourself real] to us and not to the world? 23 Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him. 24 Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe and obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent Me. AMPC

​

If a person really loves Him, Jesus said, you would obey His teachings. If a person doesn’t love Him, that one won't obey Him. 

​

Maybe you started out obeying Jesus, but then things got too hard and you compromised thinking it was ok.

​

It's clearly not. If you don’t obey Him, what  He teaches —you don’t love Him. What He is actually saying is, He is moving out of your life because you have proved you don't love Him by your disobedience.

​

On the other hand, if you really love Him, He and the Father will make their home within you. That confirms He would be with you all the time; you would never feel alone or confused, or have to wonder where He went. 

​

If this is you today, if Jesus, by His own Words has ministered to you today, then He is saying that it’s not too late to recommit to Him. Just repent and start over. Invite Him back into your life.
