Invade Watermark - Christy Nockles

May this be the cry of His people: "Jesus invade the walls of this house!" Spending time with God, and in His word is the only way to know Him better.

I believe we would be better Christians if we spent more time alone with God. Isn't that what a relationship is all about? Getting to know someone better, by spending more time with them?

The world has become too much a part of us, and it is affecting even those of us who call ourselves Christians. We make excuses for sin, and candy-coat the truth of the word of God. If we would let Jesus invade all He sees of us, welcoming Him in to turn us inside out, only then will we see things for what they truly are. When we open the door to Him, and allow His light to come in and illuminate the floors to this house (every room), only then will His truth be on our steps, and flow from our lips, instead of sounding like the world.

It pleases God, just like it pleases a spouse, or a friend, when we set time for Him alone in our busy schedule. Then He can influence us with heavenly thoughts, instead of the world influencing our thoughts, and compromising truth. I have read somewhere that, "meditation is the Sunday of the mind." I have heard a lot of Christians say that they don't need to go to church. But when you talk to them, you see how far off they have let themselves go from the things that are passionate to our Holy God. You can tell that they really aren't spending time with God, by how they view things that even we, who call ourselves Christians, should be passionate about. What breaks the heart of God, should break ours.

I love my family, and the church is also a part of my family. They have helped me with many questions I have had, and still have. Questions like raising my kids when they were in those teen years, questions about marriage, and many other things that I know will come up. Now my daughters will need the help of the church too, for wisdom on how to raise a family, and any other questions they may have on this journey with Jesus. I love talking with other believers, and I love praising and worshiping along with the choir about our Savior.

We are all welcomed here, anyone who wants to walk this road with Jesus. So you really shouldn't mind praying that He would, "reach in with the hand that heals" and conquer all that is not of Him, in you (Selah).
