We have a skewed view of what Jesus's ministry was. We think it was supernatural and big when the mundane happened while He spoke - kids got bored, people tuned out - all the same things we see in our daily lives. When we look at our foundation verses in Ephesians, it all hinges on experiencing God's love. Most of us haven't really experienced it and that's why we are tired from all our efforts in our flesh - because we have been chasing the supernatural instead of Jesus. We should only be chasing Jesus and the gifts and miracles will come! What we should look for is exceptional normal - as we go through our daily lives living for Him, that He will work through us. The fasting that has been happening in our church has been about tearing down the blockages between us and God. We don't need another book, conference or sermon, just the faith and a heart that seeks Him and He will reward us! He will make His home in our hearts in a tangible way where we will feel His presence. In everything we do, all the normal, He is the author and His presence is there; we just need to be faithful to do what He tells us to do and leave the rest to Him. His love is always there, but we block it by holding onto unforgiveness and other things. Remove these things that stop us from feeling the love of God!

Amen!
