Last week Daybreak staffer, Carmen Biggs addressed the issue of Being Out of Touch with Jesus.
During her wonderful and relevant message, she addressed 3 truths that help us reconnect with Jesus.
Listen to the audio:
Or simply read her bullet points and some of my scratchy notes...
- Realize that we are HANDCRAFTED
For we are God's masterpiece.
Ephesians 2:10
- God wants me to live out the purposes that He has for me, no one else!
- God made all of us to be different, to look different, serve Him differently and live out different purposes
- God doesn't grow us spiritually the same way, we all learn and grow different spiritually
- Ask yourself this question - What makes ME connect with God? What pathway (music, journaling, solitude, community) brings ME closer to God?
- Don't think about someone else and how they meet with Jesus - what draws YOU closer to Him?
2. Realize that we are MADE NEW
He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,
so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10b
- We can have hope of something better to come (eternity) when we are made new!
- The more God makes me new, the more I become like the ME God intended me to be
- The more God makes me new, the more like Jesus I become
- Ask yourself this question: If I were new, what fear would I be free from?
- When we release fears, the Holy Spirit is free to do a great work in us
- Look forward to the good, leave behind the bad and don't have fear in the race
- Run towards something good and eternal, which brings joy and hope!
- Pursue WHATEVER causes you to set your mind on Jesus
- We have the freedom to pursue whatever allows us to connect with Jesus
