Jesus Our Magnificent Obsession
Jesus Our Magnificent Obsession
Come and join us at 2:30pm on Thursdays for a video teaching with Mike Bickle and a devotional time of applying what we’ve heard.
Jesus possesses a magnificence and grandeur that many believers never think of. He is the most fascinating Man who ever walked the earth.
Today, many who have given their all in ministry are burned out, spiritually bored, and living with dull hearts. We need a breakthrough in our hearts and encountering the Jesus of the Bible is the answer to burnout and powerlessness. The revelation of His excellence and magnificence is the sustaining power of our hearts and the transforming power in our ministry to others.
Jesus asked His apostles a very significant question: “Who do you really think that I am?” (see Mt.16:15). He asked this question of dedicated men, who had given all to follow Him, who had healed the sick and even raised the dead. Yet, what they needed in their leadership was to understand and encounter Jesus in greater fullness. Again, in our day, the most important question the Holy Spirit is asking the Church is: Who do you really think He is? It is common in the Church to teach many kingdom principles but to neglect so many glorious truths about Jesus, the great King.
As we see more of who He is, we will gladly love and serve Him on His terms. This will cause us to give our loyalty fully and only to Him. But let us remember what Joshua experienced just before he led Israel to take the promised land. Jesus revealed Himself to Joshua as the most glorious One, the Captain of the armies of heaven (Josh. 5). Joshua fell on his face, awestruck with the grandeur of the Man standing before him. This very experience equipped him for the victories that were soon to follow. The same principle is true today. As God’s people are “taking the land” with increasing spheres of victory and power, we also, like Joshua, must come face to face with the most glorious truths of who Jesus is. He is the One we must proclaim, talk about, and sing about.
Seeing the King in His beauty and glory (Isa. 33:17) is an essential part of seeing the kingdom increase on earth as it is in heaven.
