Jesus' Side of the Tracks by Charity Kayembe

Mark Virkler's picture

Today my daughter Charity shares more of her journey from where she was and how she used to see things, and how God brought her to where she is now in regards to her relationship with Him, His angels, and the spirit realm.

I believe your heart will be touched by the Lord's words to her and you'll be challenged to move ever deeper and closer in your walk with Him.

Enjoy and be inspired! 

“I’m just not that into angels”

That was me and that was what I used to say and how I used to feel. It’s not that I had anything against them, it’s just that they aren’t “GOD”.

Because Father? He’s my Life. Jesus? The Lover of my soul. Holy Spirit? My best Friend. The Trinity – I’m all about them! Give me GOD. But angels? They’re just like… a side show. An appetizer. Maybe like an opening act of some kind. The Trinity is who I’m really into. Who’s better than God? Who’s bigger than God? Nobody’s more awesome and worthy and incredible than Him, right?

True, true and true.

But then Jesus, Who is Truth Himself, gave me His version of Truth which was even more true than my truth.

THE GAMECHANGER

Jesus said, “Charity, how would you feel if when you were getting to know Leo, if when you invited him to meet your family, he said, ‘No thanks. I’m not really into your family, I’m just into you.’”

“Or what if every time you invited him to hang out with your friends, he declined explaining how much he totally loved you, so he just wanted to focus on you and you alone? He wanted to be with you exclusively, but never wanted to be with your friends?”

Well, if Leo didn’t want to meet my family, didn’t want to come to my house, my neighborhood, have dinner with my parents, or hang out with my friends at least some of the time I’d take serious issue with that. Maybe he loves me? But he’s not very good at showing it.

If Jesus had homeboys, who would they be?

And so it is with me. How can I say I love Jesus, but don’t care about what’s important to Him? And who’s important to Him? Why should I insist that He always has to come to me, and get into my world? Shouldn’t I sometimes go over to His side of the tracks, spend time in His neighborhood, get to know His family, and hang out with His friends?

Angels, these sons of God that they are, have been a part of Jesus’ life since before time began. And as my angels clarified for me: Jesus is Love, and there’s really no off-switch with that. He can’t love me a lot and then love them a little or someone else not at all. He just loves. And there’s a lot to go around. More than enough for all of us.

What Love Does

Now that Jesus explained how He sees it and His perspective, I’m finally getting the revelation. Now I do hang out in the spirit realm with Him and His angels. I do “draw near to Him” by choosing to go where He is and meet Him there. I do get to know everyone in His world.

Because they’re important to Him, they’re important to me.

Because I care about Jesus. And because that’s just what love does.

Through the Bible 7: Acts and Epistles DVDs

by Dr. Andrew Hardy | 2 Discs

Dr. Andrew Hardy takes you through Acts and the General Epistles in 10 sessions. This is part seven of our Through the Bible series, which provides you an in-depth overview of the entire Bible. You may choose to begin with the Life of Christ, and work your way through the entire New Testament, and then follow this up by going through the Old Testament.

In the book of Acts you discover the vibrancy of the early Church. The Holy Spirit descended upon them in Pentecost and filled them and the room in which they were seated. Empowered by the Holy Ghost, they immediatey won 3000 to the Lord. Miracles followed, many were healed, and the world was transformed by these anointed disciples. 

In the General Epistles we learn of the struggles the early Church faced, and the amazing teaching the Apostle Paul provided to keep them on track. You receive a glimpse into the heart of Paul as he passionately encourages his readers to know who they are in Christ and ascend into the heavenlies, where they are seated with Him in heavenly places, ruling and reigning. These books take you into the depths of Scriptural truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for God to give you revelation knowledge in your heart and mind as you meditate on His Word (Eph. 1:17,18).
