40 Days' Journey to the Feet of Christ

A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF FAITH Grace to you and peace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, through the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Amen! For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9A) Beloved, it was a day that I will never forget, a scripture that will always stay in my heart, mind and soul. As I sat in church during the morning service, I got lost during the sermon, finding myself asking God: Where is the power that You gave the apostles, which the Bible speaks of? For people were converted, healed, delivered, raised from dead, and all this was done through the disciples, immediately. Today we have a religious system which is full knowledge and understanding, full of words, but lacking in power. I am nothing but dust, so I humbled myself and approached the throne of grace in my spirit while I sat in Church and I asked God my foolish question. Where is the power? To my surprise God answered me with this: For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9A) I walked out of church, took a walk with tears in my eyes, and I prayed, because His Word cut me to the heart. I looked at my own life. My heart condemned me because my priorities were all on myself: I want to grow my business bigger, I want to get married, I want I better life for my family, I want a Range Rover, I want, and I want, and I want Thats how selfish we are. Life is all about us. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? (Jeremiah17:9) My dear beloved, God is willing to manifest His power in this ungodly hour; however, the LORD is seeking a heart that is loyal to Him, a vessel that does not seek its own, but is totally committed to bring glory to Jesus Christ our Lord, for the glory of God the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit. God is searching the whole earth looking for people that will allow Him to manifest His power on their behalf. The LORD is looking for a loyal heart. The Lord desires to show Himself strong, not the vessel! Rather, Himself strong, on behalf of the vessel. Are you the one that the LORD is looking for, to show Himself strong on your behalf? Will you allow the LORD to show Himself strong on your behalf? The Lord weighed me on the balance and I was found wanting, for my heart was not wholly loyal to God. I still had my own dreams. But now I know my dreams are actually too small. I must join God in His dream which includes everyone. This is what the Lord is saying: Then He (Jesus) said to them all, If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels. (Luke 9:23-26) THE JOURNEY Join in as we pick up our own cross and embark on the greatest battle of our lives--to conquer self--as we follow Christ, even Jesus our LORD. Amen! Join in this 40 days journey, as we strip ourselves before God that He may cover us with His righteousness.

There are 40 chapters in this book and I suggest you read only one chapter per day and that you invite the Lord Jesus to be your partner during the 40 days journe
