Deep Revelations From God
I have been thinking and wondering about a lot
Trying to weigh up all these deep revelations
people are getting from God
I have been trying to understand what is
the truth and what is a lie
Trying to work out what is wrong and what is right
Who to believe and who not to believe
What to receive and what not to receive
Where to go and where not to go
So I asked God for a deep revelation too,
so I would know
“Lord, who preaches what is right
and who preaches what is wrong?
I don’t understand everything that is going on!
Can you tell me, please?
There are so many voices out there,
and so many doctrines!
Who and what do I believe?
The Lord took me by the hand and smiled,
There is no deep revelation about
what you are asking, My dear child
I will ask you a few questions and wait for you to see
That it is all very simple, if you just follow Me”
“Did I stand on a stage to preach with
fine clothes and expensive jewellery?
Did everyone love Me?
Did I enjoy fame and popularity?
Did I ask My disciples to take a collection of money,
as I preached the Sermon on the Mount?
Did I start up a huge deliverance ministry
to cast all the demons out?
Did I come to be served or did I come to serve
Did I turn the other cheek
and not give out the punishment
some people deserved
Was I humble or did I walk around
drawing attention to myself
Did I spend My short life on earth
offering the poor and needy My help?
Did I line my pockets with money
because I was anointed?
Did the Father give Me my place of
authority, or was I self appointed?”
“There are so many deep revelations
people now seek
But in the mean time, they forget to
just keep it simple and follow Me!
Just do what I did, go where I went
Give hope to the lost
To the lonely, be a friend
Share with others what I have blessed you with
It’s very simple, My child, just do what I did!”
I stood for a while as the words of Jesus began to sink in
Then asked another question, for a little more understanding
“So, Lord, what you are saying is,
that it is not really all that complicated?”
“Not at all, My Child, but if
you want to truly follow Me,
you must be prepared to be hated
People will hate you if you bear My name
Are you willing for that price to be paid?
A lot of people will despise and reject you
If you want to follow Me and stand for the Truth!
I stood and considered the questions, Jesus had asked
Then He wanted to know if
I really loved Him with all my heart
I wrestled and I battled as I thought about the cost
And asked myself, If I was willing to
follow Him all the way, or not
I searched my heart as He continued to speak
Wanting to give Him the answers to
the questions He had asked me
“The deepest revelation you will ever find, My dear Child
Is to know how to love ME with all your heart,
strength, soul and mind
Wanting nothing for yourself,
but surrendering all to Me
Now are you receiving the answers to all
the things you were questioning?”
“Yes Lord!” I replied, “You want me to love you,
and surrender to you all that I am”
“Yes Child, just walk in My footsteps and Follow Me!
But to do this, you must first conquer your fear of man!”
“So many have achieved popularity and fame
For preaching the Gospel and healing people in My name
This was not My idea, how could it be?
When all I asked My people to do was, Follow Me!”
“It is simple; if you want to
be great you must be small
The least of you will be the greatest of all
Live your life serving others
and take no reward or praise from men
I will give you an Eternal reward,
when I come back again
Do not seek material things and earthly pleasures
Just follow Me and let Me be your greatest treasure”
“Now My Child, I have given
you a deep revelation
Keep it simple! Reach the lost
and offer them My salvation
Feed the hungry, care for those in need
Open the eyes of the blind with the truth,
and set the captives free
Comfort those who are sick and
visit those who are in prison
Bless others with all the
blessings you have been given
Everything you want to find
and everything you seek
Will be found, if you live your life following Me
There is nothing more I ask of you
Let people see ME in all you say and do
This is a deep revelation from God
Now its your choice, Will you follow Me or not?”
“Yes Lord! I want to follow You!
I want to go where you would go
and do what you would do
I cant go that wrong, If my
heart follows after You
If I follow in your footsteps, I will
find the Life, the Way and the Truth!
Hold my hand Jesus, and lead me
where I can touch people’s lives
Let me see people through my
Heavenly Fathers eyes
Help me Jesus, to hear your voice
and listen to your lead
And help me to surrender, so people will
see more of You and less of me
I will never be able to do
what you have requested, by myself
I will need your strength and
I will always need your help
Although it is simple what
you have asked me to do
I will find it difficult, if I don’t
do it ALL through you
It is simple, but at the same time,
it will be hard
Lord, help me to follow You
and love You with all my heart.”
The deep revelation from God, which I
have received, is this
Just Follow JESUS, go where He went
and just do what He did!
We can’t go wrong, if we follow in His footsteps
and walk the same road
And on the journey, as we follow Him,
we will find all that we seek to know!
