AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS

“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” John 17:24

My friends our lives will never be transformed if somehow we are only consumed by the atmosphere of fellowship in a beautiful worship service at church, or if time permits we may be compelled to feed the homeless, or visited the sick.

No my friends, only AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE can transform us. Which is a personal and heartfelt experience with Christ and His Holy Spirit that takes us on a Journey that leads to a total commitment to Christ and His will for what He wants to accomplished through us as His chosen vessel.

So “Stay always within the boundaries where God’s love can reach and bless you, wait patiently for the eternal life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you.” Jude 1:21 As you seek His presence in AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE.

My friends I hope today we all seek such an experience for our “Lord, has searched each of us and  He knows each of us personally! “He knows when we sit down and when we rise up; He discerns our thoughts from afar… He searches out our path He is acquainted with all of our ways.”

So as a Child of God let’s also search out our Saviors path, and get acquainted with all of His ways Today in AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE  for he is more than our Savior He is also our friend.

“Oh what a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer IN THE UPPER ROOM. For knowing Christ personally IN THE UPPER ROOM is what transforms our life in preparation for God’s kingdom.

And we must also remember that this EXPERIENCE is never about location, but about the EXPERIENCE, one receives JUST BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST. It could be in the “hiding places on the MOUNTAINSIDE,  as we seek His face, and the sound of  His voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Song of Solomon 2:14,

Or Your EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST could be in the solitude of a room at Home “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matt. 6:6,

Or maybe just a quiet solitude location in your church when no one is around, or maybe just driving your car late one night down a lonely road, or sometimes your EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST can be as simple as laying across your bed as you take your countenance to a place only AN UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS can take you.

For “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 1 Cor 3:16  So my friends THE UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST are those places, and times in our life when, and where we seek  a heartfelt encounter with the presence of God or just the thought of  Him in your life will

“lead you besides the still waters. As He restores your soul; as He leads you in the paths of righteousness.” Like Christ disciples we all have different agenda’s as to why we seek an UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS.

But whatever our agenda may be, once we do have that SPECIAL EXPERIENCE WITH CHRIST, each of us will know without a doubt that we have been with the Master For “In the upper room with Jesus Sitting at his nail-scarred feet.

Oh what A rich and full communion and Fellowship so divine and sweet. For it is a place for all the weak and weary A place where we all may find real peace In the UPPER ROOM EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS  where all of our cares and heartaches cease”

today as we look at prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes We need the things only the UPPER ROOM can provide. The hope, grace, mercy and the assurance from the Good Shepherd  that states in His Word “the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones Ps. 37:28 “for you understand my thoughts from afar. And with all my ways you are familiar”

“And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house…” My God that MIGHTY RUSHING WIND, which was the OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WHAT I SEEK FROM YOUR PRESENCE IN MY UPPER ROOM TODAY

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
