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

Newly recorded for 2023! Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

This is my story of how my cardiac event was resolved by combining the best in medical care, Christian spirituality, and nutrition. 

I was NOT supposed to have a cardiac event. I ate a healthy diet, exercised several times a week, consumed lots of great nutrition and sought to live destressed by abiding in Christ. This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.

How Do YOU Know? Digital Videos

by Mark Virkler | 12 MP4 Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.

How to Speak in Tongues Video Download

How to Speak in Tongues Video Download

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4). The goal of this short teaching is to help people understand the part they need to play and the part the Holy Spirit plays when it comes to the miracle of speaking in tongues.

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
