“JESUS TODAY”

Make Me your default Focus. Try to become conscious of what you think about when your mind is at rest. Many people’s minds gravitate toward worries, work, plans, food, pleasure seeking. Some of these thoughts are useful, while others are not. Most people are not very aware of their thoughts during their down times, but I am quite aware of them. I want you to train your mind to turn toward Me more and more. Think about who I am-Creator, Savior, King of kings. Ponder also My amazing, unending Love for you.

Training your mind to make Me your default Focus is not easy. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in this challenging endeavor, and He will. However, you must be prepared to cooperate with Him. You need to spend some time in quietness-away from the television, the radio, and other distracting noise. Communicate with Me frequently throughout the day. Using a short prayer such as, Jesus, draw me close to You, can help you return your focus to Me time after time. Also, it is vital to saturate your mind with Scripture, which is all about Me. As you practice these disciplines, you will gradually be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? -Psalm 8:3-4

Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. -Psalm 119:11 nkjv

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. -Romans 12:2

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
