Representing Jesus

You have to represent Jesus in this world—and that begins with understanding that not everyone sees what you see. Not everyone understands Christianity the way you do. They don’t perceive the Holy Spirit the way you do. In fact, the only way many people will ever see the Holy Spirit is through your actions, your wisdom, and the way you live your life.

When you choose to be a vessel of the triune power of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—people around you begin to experience something they have never encountered before. And when that happens, life starts to change around you. Why? Because you begin to walk with humility and respect, knowing that not everyone has seen, known, or experienced what you have. This kind of life even bypasses religion itself, because many religions do not know this power. They do not know the Holy Spirit—the Comforter—who was sent after Christ ascended to the Father.

Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would come, and He did. The Spirit led the apostles into a deeper knowledge of the gospel—the Spirit of truth. According to the original Greek understanding, the Holy Spirit brings deeper revelation of truth and supplies divine strength to endure trials and persecutions for the sake of the Kingdom of God. When I studied this, I began to understand why some people hesitate to say yes to the Holy Spirit. Saying yes means going deep. It means being willing to carry and share the gospel as He reveals it.

The Holy Spirit empowers us to endure trials and persecutions on behalf of the divine Kingdom. He is like fire in the furnace—enabling us to live in the midst of chaos while remaining free. While others may be bound, confused, or overwhelmed, we live by a different power. This is the power available to us today.

And this life is eternal. Forever means forever—an unbroken age, eternity itself. God’s Word speaks beyond time and beyond the limits of this universe. This is why I hold tightly to the Holy Spirit. I’m not letting go. If the end times come, if God takes His church out of this world, I’m going with Him. Simple as that. I’m holding on to the promise.

The Holy Spirit is our Helper, Comforter, and Advocate—destined to take the place of Christ in bodily presence. When Jesus left the apostles, He sent the Holy Spirit so they could continue His work. This was not a downgrade; it was fulfillment. It was humanity empowered to operate in God’s nature. Human nature transformed to carry divine purpose.

This is what it means to be transformed and no longer conformed to the world. We become the hands and feet of Jesus—not striving, not struggling, but living from His power within us.

Jesus said in John 14:17, “The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” This is the place of power God wants us to live from and release today.

When you walk in this world, you don’t need to be shaken by everything around you. You represent Jesus. Remember, people don’t see what you see. They don’t understand what you understand. The Holy Spirit will be made visible through your life—through your choices, your character, and your wisdom.

And something powerful happens when you live this way. Life begins to shift around you. Not because you force it, but because the presence of God is evident in you.

I also believe this truth transcends age. Age should never dictate your power or your anointing. It should never disqualify you. If you think you’ve lost something—listen closely—you haven’t. God works in a different dimension than we do. A higher one.

I’ve been through many things in my life, but when I turned fully to God and entered His dimension, it was as if those past trials were redeemed. What once felt heavy became a treasure. What once caused stress became a testimony. God trained me on that ground, and from it came insight, gratitude, and strength.

Instead of depression, there was thankfulness. Instead of defeat, there was maturity. When we rise in the presence of God, everything changes.

So I refuse to say I’m old. I may be getting older, but I’m also getting wiser—and that’s not a loss, that’s a gift. We need to lean into that truth, embrace it, and get excited about it.

This is the life of the Spirit. This is the power we live in. Amen.
