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.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know? eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

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 various methods for discovering truth such as: 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.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

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.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
