Intercession

I just a read a book by Kenneth E. Hagin called "The Art of Intercession". It is pretty eye opening. It talks about why we need to pray, what the prayer of intercession is, our need for intercession, Jesus who is our Intercessor, The Holy Spirit who helps us intercede, and that is just the tip of the iceburg. At the least, this book has helped my hunger for more of the Word and to honestly, fervently seek Jesus. I'm just tired of the monotonous Christian life we are accustomed to. The 'real' Christian life is anywhere away from boring...just look in the Scriptures. Anyways if you are hungering for a deeper relationship with Jesus, I would totally recommend reading the Bible first and foremost, maybe perhaps take a glance Hagin's book.

The now and not yet.

Recently, As Christians go, I've noticed we either lose sight of the big picture or the task at hand. We need both. Jesus was the perfect example of the both. The Kingdom of Heaven was with Him here on earth as well as for eternity and forever. I think something we overlook is that when we are born again, essentially eternity starts immediately as we say yes to Jesus, But sometimes we look forward to what eternity will be like rather than living in eternity now. weird. Jesus seemed to have lived in both. What do you think? I don't know.

I want Jesus to be my number one.

I think when we put Jesus as number one, meaning we put everything we possibly have for Him and our attention and goal is on Him, our love and affection; He gives us the ability to love even better the things which are important to us. So I ask Lord that I seek Your face...that I may be less...to let you in.
