Daily Bread - NO 3 Little flock - hearing Jesus - 9/23/2011

Through the years of following the Lord Jesus closely and making disciples, we have seen so many people COME and GO, and very very few have really stuck around and are following the Lord Jesus. As I was praying this morning I was asking the Lord about this and the Holy Spirit said to me: “little flock..” I was reminded of the words of the Lord Jesus as written in Luke 12:32 where He said: “Do not be afraid little flock for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.” Dear friends, if you want to follow Jesus Christ then you must know it is a lonely road because it is a little flock. There are very few people who follow the Lord Jesus, as the Lord said to me a few days ago: “Only a remnant will follow Me. There are not many who truly want to follow the Lord Jesus.
People often have a problem distinguishing between their own thoughts and the Holy Spirit speaking into their hearts. The reason for that is that they are DOUBLE MINDED, they have not made up their minds to follow Jesus with all their heart. They are still concerned about their own affairs and running after their own interests and that is why they cannot discern, they don't want to. In their mind they are not submitted to the Holy Spirit of God. If you are totally submitted to the Holy Spirit and you have decided to follow Jesus then you gladly accept the word that the Holy Spirit plants in your heart, whether it be direction that He gives you or whether He reprimands you, because you are glad to oblige, you are glad to submit to the Holy Spirit because you want to be pleasing to Jesus. As Jesus also said, where your treasure is their your heart will be also. The question is, dear friend: Where is our heart? Is our heart set on pleasing Jesus, or on other things? Because if we are not totally set on Jesus we are double minded and we will doubt – then we will not follow the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to set our mind on Christ and on pleasing Him and then the message of the Holy Spirit will come through LOUD and CLEAR! May Jesus bless you.
