WEBVTT 00:05.610 --> 00:06.970 Esperanza asked about 00:07.830 --> 00:11.200 how do we please the heart of Jesus? 00:11.200 --> 00:15.090 Is it a special attitude that we can have? 00:15.090 --> 00:16.890 Is it maybe a work of faith, 00:16.890 --> 00:20.220 or something that we can put into action by ourself 00:20.220 --> 00:23.793 to please the heart of Jesus? 00:24.780 --> 00:26.422 That question is straightforward. 00:28.590 --> 00:32.103 Only faith pleases God. 00:33.960 --> 00:38.280 It honours Jesus Christ to believe in Him, 00:38.280 --> 00:41.340 even when everything around your life contradicts Him. 00:41.340 --> 00:44.583 In Matthew 8:8, 00:45.810 --> 00:47.913 Jesus was walking with His disciples. 00:49.470 --> 00:51.487 A Roman centurion came to Him and said, 00:51.487 --> 00:55.767 "Master, one of my servants is sick at the point of death." 00:59.550 --> 01:02.430 He was crying for Jesus to heal his servant. 01:02.430 --> 01:04.830 Jesus said, "Okay, let's go." 01:04.830 --> 01:08.610 The man said, "No, You don't need to come into my house. 01:08.610 --> 01:12.378 I'm not worthy for You to come physically to my house. 01:12.378 --> 01:15.600 Me, I'm a commander. 01:15.600 --> 01:17.520 I have soldiers under my orders. 01:17.520 --> 01:19.963 If I say to him, 'Go this way,' he will go. 01:19.963 --> 01:21.327 'Do this,' he will do." 01:23.040 --> 01:25.327 The man was saying to Jesus, 01:25.327 --> 01:26.700 "You don't need to come physically. 01:26.700 --> 01:29.733 I so much believe in You that if You speak a Word, 01:30.930 --> 01:32.760 invisible forces will come 01:32.760 --> 01:35.580 and from far, my servant will be healed." 01:35.580 --> 01:38.883 Jesus said, "I've never seen such a great faith. 01:40.920 --> 01:42.507 Go, your faith has healed you." 01:44.280 --> 01:45.723 Another woman in Matthew 15, 01:47.104 --> 01:48.404 who was a Canaanite woman. 01:49.410 --> 01:52.890 And that woman was not from the commonwealth of Israel. 01:52.890 --> 01:54.810 She had a daughter - demon possessed. 01:54.810 --> 01:58.020 She came all the way, far from Sidon 01:58.020 --> 01:59.280 and she ran to Jesus. 01:59.280 --> 02:02.160 When she came, Jesus neglected her. 02:02.160 --> 02:02.993 No answer. 02:03.837 --> 02:05.550 Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy. 02:05.550 --> 02:06.570 Jesus refused. 02:06.570 --> 02:09.690 And the disciples said, 'Master, let's send this woman. 02:09.690 --> 02:10.953 She makes noise!' 02:13.110 --> 02:14.250 The woman continued. 02:14.250 --> 02:18.037 One day Jesus stood, and looked at her and said, 02:18.037 --> 02:21.060 "It's not good to take the bread of My children 02:21.060 --> 02:22.530 and give them to the dogs." 02:22.530 --> 02:23.680 That's what Jesus said. 02:25.350 --> 02:28.560 When Jesus equated the lady to a dog, 02:28.560 --> 02:29.820 it was not to belittle her 02:29.820 --> 02:32.583 but to test her faith, to check her humility. 02:34.920 --> 02:36.310 The lady was not offended 02:37.290 --> 02:38.457 because she knew who Jesus was. 02:38.457 --> 02:41.733 She said, "Master, You are right. 02:42.780 --> 02:44.550 I'm like the dogs, 02:44.550 --> 02:46.560 but even the little dogs 02:46.560 --> 02:47.970 eat the crumbs that fell 02:47.970 --> 02:49.170 from their master's table." 02:50.010 --> 02:53.280 Jesus said, "Wow. Go. 02:53.280 --> 02:56.080 Because of this declaration, your daughter is delivered." 02:57.060 --> 03:04.143 What pleases Jesus is the path of faith and humility. 03:05.460 --> 03:09.330 Any person who approached Jesus by faith in such way; 03:09.330 --> 03:10.533 his demand was done. 03:12.570 --> 03:15.300 There's a woman who had the issue of blood 03:15.300 --> 03:16.920 for 12 years in her life. 03:16.920 --> 03:19.320 She suffered so many years. 03:19.320 --> 03:22.208 But in her heart she said, 'This man called Jesus - 03:22.208 --> 03:26.520 if I go to Him, I know I will be healed.' 03:26.520 --> 03:27.353 That woman believed. 03:27.353 --> 03:29.163 The woman came by faith. 03:30.277 --> 03:32.340 When she came, Jesus was surrounded by 03:32.340 --> 03:34.770 such crowd of people around Him. 03:34.770 --> 03:37.653 But the woman found her way through, 03:38.580 --> 03:39.530 and she didn't touch the body of Jesus, 03:39.530 --> 03:41.700 she touched the hem of His garment, 03:41.700 --> 03:42.930 because she believed. 03:42.930 --> 03:46.383 And the Bible say power came from Jesus and healed her. 03:48.570 --> 03:50.020 She never touched the body of Jesus. 03:50.020 --> 03:51.540 Power came instantly. 03:51.540 --> 03:52.373 That faith. 03:53.580 --> 03:55.604 Jesus turned to say, “Who touched Me?” 03:55.604 --> 03:57.270 They said, “Master, what are You saying? 03:57.270 --> 03:59.430 Hundreds of people are here touching you, 03:59.430 --> 04:01.650 and you say, who touched me? 04:01.650 --> 04:04.233 Jesus was referring to a touch born of faith. 04:05.610 --> 04:08.400 The woman came by faith supernaturally to Jesus. 04:08.400 --> 04:10.410 And Jesus knew that 04:10.410 --> 04:12.120 and the power of God 04:12.120 --> 04:14.190 located her immediately. 04:14.190 --> 04:17.040 If you want to please Jesus - faith. 04:17.040 --> 04:19.260 Only faith pleases Jesus, 04:19.260 --> 04:22.020 as faith honours Jesus the most, 04:22.020 --> 04:25.140 Jesus honours faith the most. 04:25.140 --> 04:27.157 And Hebrew 11:5 says, 04:27.157 --> 04:29.227 "He who comes to God 04:29.227 --> 04:32.800 must believe that He exists, and He's a Rewarder." 04:32.800 --> 04:35.880 So now, if you believe in Christ, 04:35.880 --> 04:38.760 anytime Jesus met somebody, 04:38.760 --> 04:40.170 Jesus never healed the person directly, 04:40.170 --> 04:41.620 He would ask them a probing question, 04:42.847 --> 04:45.150 "What do you want Me to do for you?" 04:45.150 --> 04:48.000 Or, “Do you believe I can do it for you?” 04:48.000 --> 04:48.833 That's faith. 04:49.740 --> 04:51.621 If you believe Jesus, you have it. 04:51.621 --> 04:53.670 Faith in Christ Jesus is not a risk, 04:53.670 --> 04:57.090 but a sure and practical act. 04:57.090 --> 04:59.520 So, what pleases Jesus is your faith. 04:59.520 --> 05:01.290 How do you have faith? 05:01.290 --> 05:02.880 You have faith 05:02.880 --> 05:05.040 when your faith, your belief is tested. 05:05.040 --> 05:06.630 In the face of real situation, 05:06.630 --> 05:07.953 when you're in difficulty, 05:09.090 --> 05:11.400 you say, "Thank You, Jesus. You're my Lord." 05:11.400 --> 05:12.810 You have no money - 05:12.810 --> 05:14.460 you continue to worship Jesus - 05:14.460 --> 05:15.900 act of faith. 05:15.900 --> 05:18.229 Faith is not based on what you see; 05:18.229 --> 05:21.510 It’s based on Christ's ability to save you, to protect you, 05:21.510 --> 05:24.120 even when you're going through the wilderness. 05:24.120 --> 05:25.680 So, my question is clear. 05:25.680 --> 05:28.590 My answer is faith - Heavenly currency. 05:28.590 --> 05:33.810 So that's the only thing that honours Jesus today, 05:33.810 --> 05:35.970 and pleases Jesus today. 05:35.970 --> 05:39.150 If you must come to Jesus, come by faith. 05:39.150 --> 05:41.970 If you believe in Him, that pleases Him. 05:41.970 --> 05:44.730 And faith is a lifestyle of trusting in Jesus, 05:44.730 --> 05:48.330 even when everything around you seems difficult, 05:48.330 --> 05:49.380 but you trust in Him. 05:50.730 --> 05:51.723 That is faith. 05:53.280 --> 05:57.330 It's a lot simpler than we think. 05:57.330 --> 05:59.850 Because even the faith that we finally exercised 05:59.850 --> 06:00.683 to receive Jesus 06:00.683 --> 06:03.240 was the faith that he himself put in our heart. 06:03.240 --> 06:04.897 Meaning that it's not for us to say, 06:04.897 --> 06:09.480 "Oh, I don't have faith." 06:09.480 --> 06:10.800 You know, "I don't have enough faith. 06:10.800 --> 06:11.670 How do I please Jesus? 06:11.670 --> 06:12.633 How do I reach Jesus?" 06:12.633 --> 06:15.960 It's not up to us; 06:15.960 --> 06:17.670 it's for us to reach out 06:17.670 --> 06:21.150 and ask Jesus to give us the faith we need from Him. 06:21.150 --> 06:23.070 And that is what Racine was talking about, 06:23.070 --> 06:24.210 that attitude of humility, 06:24.210 --> 06:27.411 'I can't do it by myself!' - every step. 06:27.411 --> 06:30.510 If there's one thing I look at in life of Prophet TB Joshua, 06:30.510 --> 06:33.030 I'm just baffled by 'til now. 06:33.030 --> 06:34.440 It's the fact that he lived a life 06:34.440 --> 06:38.070 as if he needed God more than anyone else. 06:38.070 --> 06:39.510 He lived a life of 06:39.510 --> 06:40.510 'I need God to sit down,' 06:40.510 --> 06:41.990 'I need God to stand up,' 06:41.990 --> 06:43.620 'I need God to say this,' 06:43.620 --> 06:44.640 'I need God to say that,' 06:44.640 --> 06:46.788 'I need God for everything!' 06:46.788 --> 06:48.787 If you know you need Jesus for everything, 06:48.787 --> 06:51.840 you'll have that childlike faith, 06:51.840 --> 06:53.340 that childlike simplicity. 06:53.340 --> 06:55.203 And that is what pleases Jesus. 06:56.070 --> 06:57.129 So, thank you so much. 06:57.129 --> 06:59.249 It is the Word of God that teaches you 06:59.249 --> 07:01.680 how to please Jesus - 07:01.680 --> 07:02.853 abiding in His Word, 07:03.840 --> 07:05.250 meditate on His Word, 07:05.250 --> 07:07.983 and faith will come spontaneously, naturally. 07:09.210 --> 07:12.390 And when you please Jesus, you will see the reward. 07:12.390 --> 07:14.040 Thank you. 07:14.040 --> 07:16.921 Thank you so much for that wonderful, beautiful question. 07:16.921 --> 07:18.990 And that's what it's all about, pleasing Jesus 07:18.990 --> 07:21.060 and the fact that you have a heart to please Jesus. 07:21.060 --> 07:23.160 Wow, that's wonderful. 07:23.160 --> 07:24.270 It's a blessing. 07:24.270 --> 07:25.170 That is a blessing. 07:25.170 --> 07:26.520 Out of all the questions you could have asked, 07:26.520 --> 07:31.020 that question is itself, is a blessing to your life. 07:31.020 --> 07:32.468 So, thank you so much. 07:32.468 --> 07:37.468 Yes. My question is, as I have heard about Jesus Christ, 07:37.860 --> 07:40.080 and I read my Bible, 07:40.080 --> 07:43.470 I pray, I fast, 07:43.470 --> 07:48.470 but I'm still longing for that relationship with Jesus. 07:48.600 --> 07:50.430 I feel I don't have it. 07:50.430 --> 07:55.430 So, how do I get to where I'll say, 'I know Jesus'? 07:56.940 --> 08:01.443 And when I pray, I believe that Jesus answers my question. 08:03.630 --> 08:07.020 Thank you very much. 08:07.020 --> 08:15.210 To answer the question, I will go to John 16:10 08:15.210 --> 08:28.613 That will help us to answer that question. 08:30.090 --> 08:33.450 John 16:6 08:36.060 --> 08:37.390 He said to His disciples that 08:40.530 --> 08:42.060 John 16:8: "When the Holy Spirit comes, 08:42.060 --> 08:44.553 He will convict the world of sin…” 08:45.420 --> 08:46.350 John 16:10: “Of righteousness, 08:46.350 --> 08:47.460 because I go to the Father, 08:47.460 --> 08:49.143 and you will see me no more,” 08:50.070 --> 08:51.180 John 16:11: “And of judgment, 08:51.180 --> 08:53.313 because the ruler of this world is judged." 08:55.890 --> 08:58.320 You know, we have two Christs. 08:58.320 --> 09:00.219 We have the Christ of history, 09:00.219 --> 09:02.610 the Christ of the Bible. 09:02.610 --> 09:05.580 We know the Bible is given information about Jesus, 09:05.580 --> 09:08.850 His birth, His ministry, how He was crucified 09:08.850 --> 09:11.040 how He resurrected, and ascended to Heaven. 09:11.040 --> 09:11.873 We have facts. 09:13.050 --> 09:16.620 Knowing facts about Jesus is not going to change our lives, right? 09:16.620 --> 09:18.930 We can have passion for Jesus, 09:18.930 --> 09:23.010 know Jesus intellectually by reading the Bible, etc. 09:23.010 --> 09:25.050 But we should not forget, 09:25.050 --> 09:27.390 there's Jesus - resurrected - 09:27.390 --> 09:30.450 Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. 09:30.450 --> 09:32.508 And Jesus, when resurrected, remember, 09:32.508 --> 09:35.640 after walking with His disciples for three years, 09:35.640 --> 09:37.560 they knew Him in bodily form. 09:37.560 --> 09:40.609 Peter saw Him, they touched Him, they saw Him. 09:40.609 --> 09:44.130 And the Lord said to them, "Well, I'm going to Jerusalem. 09:44.130 --> 09:45.090 They will crucify Me. 09:45.090 --> 09:46.419 They will kill Me. 09:46.419 --> 09:48.723 On the third day, I will resurrect." 09:50.220 --> 09:51.180 When Jesus said that, 09:51.180 --> 09:54.390 they couldn't understand what He was saying. 09:54.390 --> 09:57.570 But when Jesus was crucified 09:57.570 --> 09:59.580 and laid down to the tomb, 09:59.580 --> 10:01.200 many of them, 10:01.200 --> 10:04.050 despite all what Jesus said to them before, 10:04.050 --> 10:07.920 did not believe in the resurrection, 10:07.920 --> 10:10.230 because they have never experienced that. 10:10.230 --> 10:11.757 So, what happens on the way to Emmaus, 10:11.757 --> 10:15.120 when Jesus met the two disciples who were so downcast 10:15.120 --> 10:16.830 because they think the end has come? 10:16.830 --> 10:18.963 Jesus came, appeared in a different form, 10:19.890 --> 10:21.007 and began to tell them, 10:21.007 --> 10:22.170 "What happened to you? 10:22.170 --> 10:23.400 Why are you sad?" 10:23.400 --> 10:25.944 They said, "Ah! Have you not heard 10:25.944 --> 10:27.120 what happened in Jerusalem - 10:27.120 --> 10:28.290 how Jesus was crucified? 10:28.290 --> 10:30.777 We thought He was Him that was our hope!" 10:31.890 --> 10:33.270 And for them the end has finished. 10:33.270 --> 10:35.020 They only saw Jesus in the natural 10:36.720 --> 10:39.270 but Jesus is not an earthly man - 10:39.270 --> 10:41.790 Jesus is the Lord, the Man from Heaven. 10:41.790 --> 10:43.740 1 Corinthians 15:47 10:45.600 --> 10:48.360 When Jesus came on earth, God came. 10:48.360 --> 10:49.230 He is the Word. 10:49.230 --> 10:50.223 He is the Lord. 10:51.210 --> 10:54.360 But many people followed Him 10:54.360 --> 10:56.700 when they saw the miracles He did, He performed. 10:56.700 --> 10:58.560 In the Book of John 2, 10:58.560 --> 11:01.830 that Jesus said, He did not put His trust in man, 11:01.830 --> 11:05.550 He knows what is in the heart of man. 11:05.550 --> 11:06.823 So when He met 11:06.823 --> 11:08.483 Nathaniel, 11:08.483 --> 11:11.010 he said, "Ah this is the man in whom there is no fraud." 11:11.010 --> 11:11.843 How do You know me? 11:11.843 --> 11:16.146 He said, "When you were in the fig tree, I saw you." 11:16.146 --> 11:18.246 And he said, "Ah, You are the Son of God!" 11:19.320 --> 11:22.053 Jesus said, "You will see greater things than that." 11:22.890 --> 11:27.360 So the question is, what Jesus said about Him - 11:27.360 --> 11:31.200 in John 8:23 He said, "You are from this world, 11:31.200 --> 11:32.973 I am not of this world. 11:33.900 --> 11:35.040 You are from under, 11:35.040 --> 11:36.183 I am from above." 11:37.320 --> 11:39.900 So, Jesus is a mystery in itself. 11:39.900 --> 11:42.060 It requires the revelation of the Holy Ghost 11:42.060 --> 11:43.410 to know who Jesus was, 11:43.410 --> 11:45.633 who Jesus is, because He's still alive. 11:46.890 --> 11:49.470 So, to know Jesus – the resurrected Jesus, 11:49.470 --> 11:50.303 in the power of the Holy Ghost, 11:50.303 --> 11:51.420 it requires the Holy Ghost, 11:51.420 --> 11:54.330 because Jesus is Spirit; He has resurrected, 11:54.330 --> 11:57.450 He's in Heaven, and fills the heavens and the earth. 11:57.450 --> 11:59.490 So, when they call the name Jesus today, 11:59.490 --> 12:00.720 you don't see Jesus - 12:00.720 --> 12:01.953 The Holy Spirit comes, 12:03.150 --> 12:06.120 because He said, "I will give you another Comforter, 12:06.120 --> 12:06.953 the Spirit of truth, 12:06.953 --> 12:09.720 who is with you, He will be in you." 12:09.720 --> 12:11.720 So now, how do you know Jesus? 12:11.720 --> 12:15.813 We can only know Jesus through the Word, by His Spirit. 12:16.650 --> 12:19.080 That's why all the Apostles said, 12:19.080 --> 12:20.370 "The ministry of the Word" - 12:20.370 --> 12:22.110 they were bearing witness of the Word 12:22.110 --> 12:23.820 of His resurrection. 12:23.820 --> 12:26.190 That's why they preached the Gospel. 12:26.190 --> 12:27.474 So the question is, 12:27.474 --> 12:29.970 you have the heart desire to know the Lord, 12:29.970 --> 12:31.110 and that's very pure, 12:31.110 --> 12:32.880 and Jesus knows that. 12:32.880 --> 12:33.897 But to know Jesus, 12:33.897 --> 12:35.730 you have to go through the right way, 12:35.730 --> 12:39.030 through the Word by His Spirit. 12:39.030 --> 12:40.440 When you read the Bible, 12:40.440 --> 12:42.390 when you read your New Testament, 12:42.390 --> 12:45.240 and you pray in your heart to understand, 12:45.240 --> 12:47.700 the Spirit of God will give you revelation, 12:47.700 --> 12:49.370 because the only relationship between Jesus and us 12:49.370 --> 12:51.501 is through His Word by His Spirit. 12:51.501 --> 12:54.390 We can never know Him by feelings. 12:54.390 --> 12:56.640 The only way to know Him is by the Word of God. 12:56.640 --> 12:58.188 And Jesus is real. 12:58.188 --> 13:00.060 Jesus speaks to us. 13:00.060 --> 13:01.110 How? 13:01.110 --> 13:04.488 Jesus speaks to us through the Holy Spirit. 13:04.488 --> 13:07.337 And how does the Holy Ghost speak to us? 13:07.337 --> 13:09.120 In our heart. 13:09.120 --> 13:10.751 And now that's the key. 13:10.751 --> 13:13.353 To know Jesus, you must know the Holy Spirit. 13:14.370 --> 13:15.660 And you can only know Jesus 13:15.660 --> 13:18.573 as the Spirit of God reveals Him to you. 13:20.190 --> 13:22.350 Saul rejected the Gospel, 13:22.350 --> 13:24.150 and condemned the Gospel, 13:24.150 --> 13:26.040 and persecuted the Christians 13:26.040 --> 13:29.160 because he only had sense knowledge of Christ. 13:29.160 --> 13:33.000 People look at Him - "Ah, is it not the son of Mary, the Son of Joseph? 13:33.000 --> 13:35.188 How can You say You are from God, 13:35.188 --> 13:36.543 You are from above?" 13:38.220 --> 13:40.500 But on his way to Damascus, 13:40.500 --> 13:43.920 Jesus met him at the point of revelation, 13:43.920 --> 13:46.863 and the eyes were open, eyes of faith open. 13:47.700 --> 13:48.533 "Who are You, Lord?" 13:48.533 --> 13:50.760 "I'm Jesus, whom you persecuted." 13:50.760 --> 13:52.380 And then revelation came. 13:52.380 --> 13:53.788 So, this is the key - 13:53.788 --> 13:57.030 to develop your relationship with Jesus, 13:57.030 --> 13:59.520 because you can't see Him anymore with naked eyes, 13:59.520 --> 14:00.960 but you can see Jesus in the spirit. 14:00.960 --> 14:02.460 You can hear Him in the spirit. 14:02.460 --> 14:05.075 So when you meditate in the Word of God about Jesus, 14:05.075 --> 14:07.440 revelation comes. 14:07.440 --> 14:08.730 What is revelation? 14:08.730 --> 14:09.710 The Word of Christ will come. 14:09.710 --> 14:12.210 He will speak to you through the Holy Spirit. 14:12.210 --> 14:13.590 Your conscience will ring. 14:13.590 --> 14:16.564 God will speak to us through His Word, by His Spirit. 14:16.564 --> 14:18.240 And that is it. 14:18.240 --> 14:20.520 And when the disciples were walking in Acts 2, 14:20.520 --> 14:23.429 you can see that they knew Jesus 14:23.429 --> 14:24.990 because they knew Jesus, 14:24.990 --> 14:26.370 they knew the Holy Spirit. 14:26.370 --> 14:27.203 And that's the Spirit of Father 14:28.198 --> 14:29.031 that speaks through them. 14:29.031 --> 14:31.200 So, whenever you call Jesus, it's the Holy Spirit that speaks - 14:31.200 --> 14:33.120 Jesus speaks to us through the Spirit of Father, 14:33.120 --> 14:34.939 and the Holy Ghost speaks through our heart, 14:34.939 --> 14:35.772 through our conscience. 14:35.772 --> 14:38.010 So, knowing Jesus is knowing the Holy Ghost. 14:38.010 --> 14:40.920 And that knowledge is divine revelation through your heart. 14:40.920 --> 14:43.110 Your heart, your spirit, is a communication point, 14:43.110 --> 14:45.000 contact point with Jesus. 14:45.000 --> 14:47.190 When you think right, when you speak right, 14:47.190 --> 14:48.687 you can perceive His voice, 14:48.687 --> 14:50.790 you can perceive the thoughts of the Spirit in your heart. 14:50.790 --> 14:52.230 It's how we know Jesus. 14:52.230 --> 14:54.153 Not by feelings - by faith. 14:55.500 --> 14:57.717 And then you can have practical experience that you hear, 14:57.717 --> 14:59.970 you pray, and God answers your prayer. 14:59.970 --> 15:00.930 It is true. 15:00.930 --> 15:03.360 We can only know Jesus through His Holy Words. 15:03.360 --> 15:05.415 Jesus speaks through the Word of the Holy Ghost, 15:05.415 --> 15:07.980 revealing His mind on a certain matter, 15:07.980 --> 15:09.690 and giving us a promise. 15:09.690 --> 15:11.875 And His promise isn't failing. 15:11.875 --> 15:13.380 Amen. 15:13.380 --> 15:17.820 So, when you pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, 15:17.820 --> 15:20.760 you'll fellowship with Him through His Word, by His Spirit. 15:20.760 --> 15:22.650 That's the only way we can know Jesus 15:22.650 --> 15:24.240 in Spirit and in truth, 15:24.240 --> 15:26.220 not in our emotions. 15:26.220 --> 15:28.290 So, with the heart desire you have, 15:28.290 --> 15:29.490 that's what God wants. 15:29.490 --> 15:32.310 If your heart desire is to know Him for salvation's sake, 15:32.310 --> 15:34.740 then He will meet you at the point of His Spirit. 15:34.740 --> 15:37.965 And then you develop your relationship with Him daily, 15:37.965 --> 15:41.610 by reading your Bible, meditating, giving thanks to Jesus. 15:41.610 --> 15:42.990 Remember, He's our life. 15:42.990 --> 15:46.615 In Him we live, in Him we move, and have our being. 15:46.615 --> 15:47.520 You know? 15:47.520 --> 15:48.552 When your heart is so soaked with Jesus 15:48.552 --> 15:50.910 say, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - 15:50.910 --> 15:52.486 He's the object of our faith. 15:52.486 --> 15:55.680 He's the vine, and we are the branches. 15:55.680 --> 15:57.810 So, our life comes from Him. 15:57.810 --> 15:59.850 So, make sure your thought - 15:59.850 --> 16:01.110 think about Jesus. 16:01.110 --> 16:02.040 Thank You, Jesus. 16:02.873 --> 16:03.840 Give thanks to Him. 16:03.840 --> 16:06.510 Ask Him to give you strength. 16:06.510 --> 16:08.652 You pray in His name! 16:08.652 --> 16:11.130 "Whatever you ask in My name, 16:11.130 --> 16:13.530 I will see to it, it is done." 16:13.530 --> 16:17.190 We have access to God through Him by His Spirit. 16:17.190 --> 16:19.200 That's why He said, "I am the Way. 16:19.200 --> 16:20.370 I am the Truth. 16:20.370 --> 16:21.570 I am the Life." 16:21.570 --> 16:22.403 What's the way? 16:22.403 --> 16:23.370 His Word. 16:23.370 --> 16:24.218 What's the truth? 16:24.218 --> 16:26.430 The revelation of the Holy Spirit, 16:26.430 --> 16:27.443 to tell you who Jesus is, 16:27.443 --> 16:28.860 what is His mind. 16:28.860 --> 16:29.693 What is the life? 16:29.693 --> 16:30.990 The life is eternal life 16:30.990 --> 16:32.839 through His Word, by His Spirit. 16:32.839 --> 16:36.710 So please, Jesus is very close to you, 16:36.710 --> 16:38.460 to your heart, to your spirit. 16:38.460 --> 16:39.780 That's where you perceive, 16:39.780 --> 16:41.201 that's where you have that relationship with Him. 16:41.201 --> 16:43.000 Remember that's where He came 16:44.100 --> 16:46.200 through His blood to remove the barrier 16:46.200 --> 16:47.970 between our spirit and Him. 16:47.970 --> 16:49.448 Because Jesus is Spirit, you too - 16:49.448 --> 16:50.281 you have a spirit. 16:50.281 --> 16:52.800 And that's your spirit that can connect to Jesus. 16:52.800 --> 16:56.040 Not your mind, not your flesh - your spirit. 16:56.040 --> 16:59.310 Once the Holy Ghost come in you, you have contact with Him. 16:59.310 --> 17:01.020 When you pray to the Father, the Word comes. 17:01.020 --> 17:03.240 When you pray to Jesus, it's the Holy Spirit. 17:03.240 --> 17:06.240 So today, the only means of growth 17:06.240 --> 17:07.980 in our Christian life and knowledge of Jesus 17:07.980 --> 17:09.541 is the Holy Spirit. 17:09.541 --> 17:11.703 God, Christ, and the Word, are one. 17:19.320 --> 17:20.628 Wow. Thank you. 17:20.628 --> 17:22.950 What an amazing answer! 17:22.950 --> 17:25.928 And we really want to appreciate you for your question, 17:25.928 --> 17:28.278 because that's what it's all about, knowing Jesus. 17:28.278 --> 17:30.377 That is what it's all about. 17:30.377 --> 17:33.540 The Bible says in Matthew, 17:33.540 --> 17:35.100 you know, we don't wanna be in the situation 17:35.100 --> 17:35.933 on that last day 17:35.933 --> 17:38.310 when we say, 'I did this in Your name!' 17:38.310 --> 17:39.210 'I did this in Your name!' 17:39.210 --> 17:41.520 And Jesus says, "I never knew you." 17:41.520 --> 17:43.860 So, that is a key question that you've asked, 17:43.860 --> 17:44.910 a question of the heart, 17:44.910 --> 17:46.228 about knowing Jesus. 17:46.228 --> 17:50.064 And it's such a comfort to me 17:50.064 --> 17:53.876 what Prophet TB Joshua said and is about "To seek the Kingdom of God, 17:53.876 --> 17:55.530 is to have the Kingdom of God." 17:55.530 --> 17:57.420 If we continue to seek God's Kingdom, 17:57.420 --> 17:59.760 seek the presence of Jesus in our heart, 17:59.760 --> 18:02.160 we have the presence of Jesus in our heart. 18:02.160 --> 18:03.480 And that is the greatest miracle. 18:03.480 --> 18:04.766 So never stop seeking, 18:04.766 --> 18:07.560 never stop wanting to know Jesus more. 18:07.560 --> 18:10.170 And because the closer we get to Jesus, 18:10.170 --> 18:13.020 the more we realize how undeserving of His presence we are. 18:13.020 --> 18:14.310 So, it's a wonderful journey. 18:14.310 --> 18:17.730 We're on the journey of seeking to know Jesus more. 18:17.730 --> 18:21.240 And like Racine said, it's being conscious of His presence, 18:21.240 --> 18:24.480 His voice, His desire, His will 18:24.480 --> 18:27.300 in everything that we do. 18:27.300 --> 18:28.410 So, God bless you. 18:28.410 --> 18:29.810 Thank you for that question.
