Modern Day Jesus??

What would a modern day Jesus look like?

He would look the same as the 2000 year ago Jesus did...

Guess what that would mean?? It would mean that if you wanted to follow Jesus you would have to follow Him everywhere He went, including outside the synagogues, temple, church building, your circle of friends, your church family, you would stepping into new territory in order to be a follower of Jesus...

That means you would be following Him into the deepest darkest places on this earth.. Because that is what Jesus did.. He went and found the people who were dark, and brought them into light.. He pierced the darkness with His light..

I was thinking about my town.. Where would I have to follow Jesus in order to be a true follower..

1. The bars
2. The poorest sections of town
3. The homeless hangouts
4. Places where people worship other gods
5. Gang territory
6. Strip clubs
7. Crack houses
8. Places where demons live (including inside people)
9. The religious churches that are dried up
10. Places where people are full of anger, rage, and abuse
11. The places where death is
12. So basically almost everywhere


You would have to go to the places where hearts are empty, are dark,  and are sad.. Places where instead of Jesus they filled their hearts with other things..You would be going into these places because the light that lives in you, has enough power, authority, and love that you would pierce the darkness too because Jesus Christ lives in you..

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

We have let fear trump God.. We have let fear trump Jesus.. We have let fear trump the Holy Spirit. We have let fear trump His power. We have let fear trump His authority. We have let fear trump His love. We have let fear trump His grace. We have let fear trump His mercy. We have let fear trump The Living Word of God.. We have let fear trump the Cross. We have let fear trump Jesus sacrifice.We have let fear trump THE NAME OF JESUS!.. 

I'm so done living in fear.. I'm so ready to live by the name of JESUS!! I'm so ready to see the manifestation of Gods Power, His love, and His Spirit to reign outside and inside of me.. I'm so ready to take back the authority that Satan has had over these people, and over this land.. 

Are you ready?

Believe it, Receive it and Declare it!!
