Why should we spend time with Jesus?

Ben Lunis's picture

Lord, Jesus, why should we spend time with You?

Ben, the reason I created mankind was to have fellowship with My created beings.     I so love just spending time with My own. It is such a rewarding event for both Me and for the one spending time with Me. I am blessed by having My children spend time with Me, and in return I am enabled to pour out My blessings, My love upon each one.  Why is it so difficult for My children to set aside time to be with Me? As I have observed, they get caught up in the affairs of life, too busy keeping busy. I want this affliction to stop! I want My children to discipline themselves, to take time to come into My presence so that I can love on them and bless them! Jesus, you said You are enabled to bless us when we spend time with You. Please expand on You being "enabled" to bless us.

Ben, I choose to work through My people. Too many have religious beliefs that keep them from this basic truth. Think about it. I created mankind to have fellowship with Me. When they spend time with Me in My presence I can then share with them My desires. When they do it this way, they then know what I desire and can move forward accordingly, be it through prayer or speaking in My authority to bring about that which I desire. I am tired of the prayers that are general, such as: "Lord, bring peace to the world". I want My people to be involved in bringing peace to the world! And it is best that they take a small bite at a time until their faith and trust in Me allows them to take bigger bites, so to speak.Jesus, what about the blessing part?

Ben, it is a given. When I spend time with My Children and they spend time with Me that I do indeed bless them. I bless them with the ability to walk in My love and in My will. I bless them in other ways, too. There are no limits to how much I bless My children. The only limits are imposed by My children when they do not spend time with Me!Jesus, You said "... be it through prayer or speaking in My authority to bring about that which I desire". I feel like more is needed here.

Ben, more is needed. I wanted you to take this approach rather than to give to you all of the details at once. Ben, when My people spend time in My presence, I am able to communicate to them the best way to deal with whatever issue they are pursuing. This includes such things as prayer, as authoritative commands, as interceding a certain way, as just loving on them. As you can see, this follows the pattern that I used to bring freedom and healing and hope to those I contacted. As you become more and more like Me, you are enabled to walk in My footsteps, bringing that which I desire into being. So in the big picture, I am enabled to bring about that which I desire and you are enabled to do just that!

Ben, Thank you for posting your responses from our Lord! I look forward to reading them!!!
It is a blessing that you hear clearly...

I have a question that you may or may not want to ask about... If you want me to ask, I will; but I don't hear as clearly as you do.

About three yrs ago, I was blessed to start speaking in the spirit ("in tongues"). I often speak in the spirit while driving and at other times... I was wondering if speaking in tongues is "spending time with Jesus" or if it is different... It seems like prayer, but I believe I'm praying through the spirit and I believe my spirit "abides" in His spirit.

Thank you.

Speaking in tongues, which is the Holy Spirit speaking through you, is very much spending
time with our Lord.  As we read the Scriptures, asking Jesus to speak to us through them,
we are spending time with Him.  Jesus, what do you say about this?
Ben, what you shared is right on.  Remember, we are three, yet we are one. 
When My Holy Spirit speaks through you, it is I speaking through you.  Do not
let this confuse you.  Just rejoice in the fact that there are different ways to spend
time in My presence.  Rejoice in the fact that you can spend time in My presence!
I am finding that I spend more and more of my time praying and praising in tongues
for I know that I am praying in the perfect will of our Heavenly Father and am9QX38
edified in the process.  I would encourage you to spend much time praying in the
Spirit utilizing your prayer language.
Blessings to you,
Ben

Sound Doctrine Through Revelation Knowledge e-book

by Dr. Gary Greig & Drs. Mark and Patti Virkler | 84 Pages

Sound doctrine. Correct theology. Sounds easy. Seems like if I would just apply my mind, I could establish sound doctrine and keep myself from heresy and error. And that is exactly what I did for many years, until God stopped me dead in my tracks, and got me to look up every verse in the Bible on doctrine and theology (15 in the NASB and 37 in the NKJV). Wow! Was I in for a surprise! You will be, too, as you go through these verses with me in this book!
