With what is going on in my life this season, I finally understand and have the opportunity to live out that classic saying. "What do you expect to come out when you squeeze an orange? Orange Juice! What do you expect to come out when you squeeze a Christian? Jesus!"

This is very hard but possible if we turn to Jesus each day of our life. Doing this devotional and podcast allow me to turn to Jesus each day and I love it! I have to give up a lot of my time and spend it with Jesus. I realized that if I don't put Jesus in then how can I expect Jesus out? I can't! I was tired of not putting Jesus in and getting absolute garbage out! 

Jesus is real, Jesus does work if we apply it correctly and the Bible helps explain what Jesus wants. In 2 Corinthians, Paul explains how only following the bible or the law will kill and Jesus told us to believe he is King and when we have faith he will send the Holy Spirit to bring us the remembrance of who he is. Remembrance is defined as the ability to remember or the act of recalling to mind. The law can tell us some of what Jesus did and what his disciples thought of him and that is great but that alone won't save us. Giving our lives to Jesus and keeping his commandments and truly living for Him will grant us the power of the Holy Spirit and that is how we are given life as Paul explains in 2 Corinthians 3:5-6. Without the Holy Spirit, we can't do the things that Jesus wants us to live out. It is not about going to church each week and reading the bible and reciting the bible as much as possible. It is about being Spirit-led!

Spend your time with the Lord when you want to, and when you don't want to be still and undistracted and search for Jesus. It has to be something you want. I hope this episode encourages someone to want to see Jesus and discover something amazing as a result.
