Jesus…the story behind the scenes!

The title for this narrative came from the Holy Spirit along with the revelations of Christ concerning how He works in humanity.

Whether you are a believer or not, there is a story going on behind the scenes in your life. The story is the work of Jesus. Some of this is visible but mostly you cannot see this story.

I can’t tell you about your specific story but I can share the ways God works in humanity.

The prologue to the story!

The story begins in the Old Testament. In the beginning God and Jesus were one. Many years later Jesus was born into the world in human flesh but lived through the divine nature of the Son of God.

God created the heavens and earth and every living being. He did this work through Jesus.

God’s purpose was to sacrifice Jesus for the sins of humanity and provide a method for all to receive the gift of salvation.

This is important to your story because Jesus witnessed the inability of humanity to keep the laws of God. There is no way you can please God except through Jesus.

The Cross was designed by God to help you die to your natural life and live for Jesus. You become baptized into the death and resurrected life of Jesus. God seals you with the Holy Spirt. He is the life of Jesus and gives you the strength to deal with all the trials of life. The blood of Jesus covers your sins and restores you to God.

The story of the unbeliever!

We need to start with the unbeliever. God created you in His own image, loves you unconditionally and desires to give you the gift of salvation. Regardless of your past, God works on the principle where sin abounds the love of God abounds more.

God works zealously through the Body of Christ, your family and friends to draw you to Jesus. God will create circumstances in your life to cause you to hit “rock bottom” and reach out to Jesus. There is also a point where God will not strive with someone who has a rebellious spirit and pursues darkness.

The salvation of God will begin when you reach out to God with an open heart and ask for help.

Jesus will prove to you without any doubt He is the Son of God. He wants you to have confidence in your decision for salvation and become willing to yield yourself to Him. This might take place through dreams, visions or a transfigured experience with the Living Christ.

The story of the people of God!

The purpose of God is for you to walk in oneness with Jesus under the authority of the Holy Spirit. He wants you to have a personal and embracing relationship with the Living Christ. Jesus wants you to live for Him above all else. Jesus has no interest in religion, doing works to please Him, or keeping laws. He simply wants all of you without compromise.

God is at work to refine you into His image. This is mostly invisible and designed to break the disposition of living for self and compulsive behaviors. This can be convicting and painful at times.

God speaks to all believers. This might be prophesy or wisdom for today. Develop the inner consciousness to hear the voice of God through all the ups and downs of life. You have the mind of Christ.

God works in all believers through your prayers and intercession. This is to bring down strongholds and set people free. He will show you who to pray for and how to pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

God engineers circumstances in your life to get your attention and teach you the values of Christ. This can create suffering and loss as you learn to let go of the world.

God is omniscient and sees all your future. He is at work to prepare and equip you for a ministry. This can also be convicting and humbling because Jesus doesn’t want self (your ego) in the ministry.

Foremost in God’s mind is to teach you how to walk by faith. He may take things away you cherish or create drastic measures in your life requiring you to walk by faith trusting implicitly in God.

Walking with Jesus is a work in progress. You are His workmanship created for good works. You are becoming a fountain of Living Water touching those around you with the praise, renown and glory of God.

God tests all believers. He wants your loyalty to do what He says without compromise or argument. This can seem very radical at times and make no sense. Jesus wants you to be obedient to His instructions with unwavering faith.

God wants you to walk with Him yielding to the Holy Spirit. This is the discipline of integrating Jesus into every aspect of your life. He will teach you how to do this in all the routine moments of life.

The story behind the scenes is taking place at this exact moment in your life.
