The REAL Good News of the Gospel

Do you know the good news of the Gospel?

The real good news?

Surprisingly, many people who consider themselves to be believers or Christians don’t actually know the real good news. At least, not to the extent that Jesus wants them to.

Because the real good news… the real Gospel… is scandalous. It’s outrageous. And in today’s world, it is even offensive to some.

But, that’s what makes it the Gospel - which in and of itself means “nearly too good to be true news.” Except it is… true.

And Jesus wants to make sure you know it.

The REAL Epidemic: Christians Who Don't Know Jesus

If you’ve read the last couple posts/words He’s had me release, you’ll know there’s been a build-up to this and can see where they all sort of build upon one another (you can read the “What it Really Looks Like to Follow Jesus” post, “Strong Delusion” word and “What Do You Believe?” posts here.)

But, it wasn’t until now that He really began to put it all together.

As I shared in the post about following Jesus, He showed me how there is a big difference between knowing about Him and knowing Him. And how His Church has gotten caught up in systems, procedures and programs because they don’t know Him. Not really. Not like He wants them to.

"I'm Not Who You Think I Am" - God

If there is one main “theme” I feel the Holy Spirit stressing so strongly right now, not only in my own ministry, but overall… it’s that of God wanting to share His heart with the world. His true heart.

Not just with unbelievers who don’t know Him. But, also with believers who think they know Him.

Over the hundreds of years and throughout the hundreds of generations that have passed, the pure message of the Gospel and the true character of God have gotten lost. The spirit of religion and the lies of man-based doctrine have left believers powerless, confused and with an incorrect picture of their Father in Heaven.

But, now is the time when God is opening closed eyes and freeing closed minds. He is reminding His people who He really is and introducing His true character to those that don’t know Him.

Because the truth is - He is not who we’ve thought He is.

Do You Have Oil For Your Lamp?

Recently, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper the words, "kerosene lamp."

Of course, my mind obviously went right away to the parable of the ten virgins (although, He had more to say about it too... I'll get into that first). If you're not familiar with the story, it appears in Matthew 25. And as always, Jesus tells the story to teach us an important lesson through an analogy.

Jesus Goes After the One...

You’ve probably read the parable before about the lost sheep. And how the man leaves the other ninety-nine sheep to go find the one that was lost.

But, this isn’t just a nice story. It’s the epitome of who God is. It’s a representation of the true heart of the Father and the unrelenting love of the Good Shepherd, Jesus.

And I can attest to it because I’ve seen it first-hand time and time again in my own ministry experience.

Jesus as the Good Shepherd - What it Really Means

If you’ve been a Christian even for a short time, you’ve probably heard the term “Good Shepherd,” at least in passing. But, it’s also entirely possible that you’ve never really given much thought to what it actually means.

That was definitely the case with me.

In fact, I can’t even really remember when I had heard it before this year… I’m sure I did at some point. But, it hadn’t ever really “registered” until earlier this year when I was in the middle of a very active time period of the Lord giving me “downloads.”

It's Time to Let Go

I couldn’t decide what to name this post.

There was so much wisdom and revelation I felt led to share, that it seemed almost impossible to narrow it down to one title. But, when I stopped for a moment and asked the Holy Spirit, “What should I call this, Lord?”, I felt Him sum it all up in one phrase - it’s time to let go.

Who Are You Bowing To? (Spiritual Eyes to See)

Now, RIGHT NOW, is when many of God’s people are standing in front of a giant. Right now, everything we’ve ever talked about and sang about is being tested. Right now, there is a choice to be made. Do we believe God and His word? Or do we believe what we see and what the world is telling us?

Right now, we have a chance to shine. To stand out. To be SET APART from the world. Right now, we have the opportunity to demonstrate the peace, hope, strength, authority and FREEDOM that come with being in Christ. Not in theory, in REALITY.
