What the Lord Jesus has to say

There is nothing more rewarding than to meditate on the Lord Jesus’ Word because it brings us peace, security and certainty.
It’s not like any other word we hear or carry from our childhood, the past, words spoken by family and friends, or people around us.
The word that God has for us is not something temporary or just theoretical information, but it brings life. And I want you, Internet friend, to make good use of God’s Word. I do not want you to live it only for a certain time, but for it to be part of your entire life. We are secure when we solely depend of God’s Word and have a relationship with God!
Many people when they read the Word of God do not understand it and quickly get discouraged. They want to read in their own way. There is no need to read everything or an entire chapter or book. What you do need is to acquire life through that Word.
“Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.”(Jo.8: 25-27).
Our mouth speaks out of what our heart is filled with. The proof that the Lord Jesus was connected with the Father was in His words.
The way He depended on the Father makes me admire Him! He was perfect – God incarnated in us – but yet He did not do what He wanted, or call Himself “wonderful” assuming His Divinity. On the contrary, He was at the Father’s disposal and always connected with Him.
“… but He who sent Me is true…”
The Lord Jesus lived in truth; He had total dependence of the Father and listened to Him. He knew who sent Him. He knew He didn’t send Himself, but that God sent him. When He was among us, He did not do what He well pleased. Like we often do when we believe to have the “truth”. The only one who is true is God. When you meditate on His Word you realize you are full of flaws and the truth is only in God.
“… and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
He can judge and say anything about me, but He does not say what He thinks unless it comes from the Father… those are the words He says to the world.
This is wonderful! Because how many times you and I have said inappropriate things based on what we think? But the Lord Jesus who was continually in tune with God spoke what He heard from the Father and not what He thought He should say. Even without sin, He did not think high of Himself. He gave God all the credit.
The Lord Jesus gave all the honor and glory to God. We should be the same way in everything. He will do more in our life depending on how available we are to listen to Him. The secret is to listen to Him, to be attentive and in tune with Him. By doing so you will not commit any bad mistakes that will bring you painful consequences. Rather you will be a happy, blessed person on this earth.
I hope you meditate in your day to day. Continue to talk with God about what we talked about. Think: “Have I listened to God, or to my needs and plans? Do I say what I want or what God wants me to say? ”
Be attentive to the voice of God.

Thank you Mrs. Viviane for this strong message. Since I’ve placed my life in Gods hand and are living trough His Word my life has changed. If I am doing my own will thing go wrong. So I put God’s word in first place. I’ve learned from the past and my mistakes I need to do His will, and that’s the best thing for me I can do!
I’ve learned that if I’m meditating on his Word I come to know Him better, and I see how God wants to work in my life. That’s so comforting, and it gives me peace.
If I don’t know what to do in a situation I ask myself what Jesus would do, and then it’s not difficult to know how to handle.

This is very strong Mrs Viviane..during the past few days as i meditated i realized just how much more i need to listen to God, not just for a while then i stop and now the more i speak to Him the more i hear Him and see positive results. Though i used to say i am nothing, i did not know the full and true meaning of that until God Himself revealed to me. No matter how much i do for Him, i am only doing what He wants from me and i have no credit in it.
The mistakes i do are for learning and i ‘have’ to do the right thing next time, i should not expect God to do what i have to do.
Love you VIviane..God bless you more

Good morning Mrs. Viviane,
Thank you for this message. It made me think if I am listening to God’s voice or my voice.
It is a blessing.
Thank you.

Thanks Mrs Vivi,
It is so true. When we have this connection with God, we don’t do what we want or think is right. On the contrary, we allow His will to be done in us.
