A Living God.
I see people running to the latest "new wine"...the latest spiritual energy supply. I see other people going about their normal life as if there are no God. But where are those who want to meet the Lord Jesus himself and have a relationship..? do you ?..

Churches act like we are still living in the times before Jesus..at that time the presence of The Almighty God was found in the temple, at certain times of the year..that all over feeing came on people from outside and in..only to leave them empty and hungry again when they left the building or the happening, just as energy seekers also feel.
Are you leaving a church gathering feling empty and looking for the next filling?..or running to the next happening hoping to have MORE oof something!?..I have some news for you: there is a living God and you CAN meet Him. This God has many titles, but only one name we can use; Jesus Christ . He can and will live INSIDE you-as living water bobling up from within you. You can be filled with HIM all the time, and no more do you need to run to some church or to some gathering to encounter HIM, He can and wish to be WITH YOU, and talk to you – even when you are on the toilet ..you dont need to visit a temple or a building.
Jesus said « if anyone thirst, let him come to ME. He who believes in me, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water» This He said about the promised Holy Spirit that would come..and the Holy Spirit HAS COME- he is here!, and ANYONE who repent ( turn their heart in the direction of Jesus Christ) submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and place their trust in HIM can and will receive the Holy Spirit, just ask Jesus to baptise you with His spirit! And living waters will be inside you- forever .. Jesus Christ the son of God – « this is HE who baptize with the Holy Spirit!»(John 1:32)
No church leader can Baptise you with the Holy Spirit, many church leaders are not filled with The Holy Spirit themselves, they are just as empty as you. No prist – most of them have never encountered Jesus Christ and therefore do not KNOW the one they preach. No friend, only JESUS CHRIST can and will Baptise you with His own Spirit- so that you will thirst no more!!
A friend or preacher who KNOW first hand what being filled with the Holy Spirit is can lay their hands on you if you ask them to, but they can NOT baptise you- only Jesus can do that.
Why not go to JESUS and ask ? is it scary to just ask? Is it more safe to hide in a crowd of hungry people and scout until some good feeling overtake you?, that feeling will leave again as soon as you enter your lonely home, and you will feel more sad than ever.
Jesus said that HE is the living water, but people would rather search their bibles, fast, pray, go back and forth to some seeker friendly church..instead of coming to Him.( John 5; 39)
Why is coming to Jesus so scary?..because you have to come alone, you have to admit to Him that you believe in Him. You have to admit and tell Him that you have a need for His forgiveness ,and a desire to live for and with Him. Yes that can be humbling, scary, but there is no other way, if you truly desire to encounter the living God, the only God with the name above all names; Jesus Christ.!
