FOCUS
|
the World or on our Lord and Savior.
Either you will love the one, and hate the other. Christ might have said, "You cannot have your cake and eat it too." Choose one, leave the other. Unfortunately, we as Christians go back and forth, from Satan to Christ, in and out, like a modern day Dr.Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, whether we admit it or not. Christ foresaw this and in His abounding Grace, He gave us the power to come back to Him seven times seventy times if necessary through confession of sin, 1 Jn. 1:9. As we mature and grow in His Word, we will spend more time with Christ, and less with Satan. Let's us be vigilant in His Word.
Back in 1986, I had a vision of Christ Jesus. I wrote briefly about this experience in The Power Spheres. But it was not so much seeing Christ that had an effect on me, but His words, which I heard the next day. It was while I was contemplating the meaning of the vision that I heard within my spirit these words: Keep your focus on Me. And though I had a sense of the words He spoke, I would better come to understand His command as I matured in the Word. In fact, focus upon Christ is the central theme of Open Hand Ministries, the Power Spheres Teaching System and understanding the Spiritual Life. I believe Christ is saying three things to you and I in the context of focus upon Him. They are as follows.
