Jesus Christ`s anointment

When the Word comes closer to you it`s because Jesus has seen you

Open the Holy Bible in the book of John chapter 1 and verse 43 and 44s says the Lord: “The following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.” Jesus Christ didn`t need to prove anything to Peter. He didn`t need to show He healed or restored anyone`s life, He simply said: “Follow Me” and that`s what Philip did; he left everything behind in order to follow the Messiah Philip was a man used by God. In the middle of his preaching, those who were sick turned into healed ones, demons left away, and do you know why? Because He didn`t need to have evidence to follow Jesus; he just followed Him. If you ask a lot of evidence to be certain that God exists, He will provide you, and you will be accepted, but if you believe with all your heart without any proof, you will be very blessed. Believe in the Lord with all your heart. The Kingdom of God has nothing to do with the Bible under my arm, or a member card, but It is washed and redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, who recognizes the power and authority of Jesus Christ.

Today, God is calling you to follow Him, and be aware that if you make that decision, He also changes your history. When you take the decision to serve Him without any evidence, God comes and gives you a lot, because He sees what's inside of your heart.

Philip didn't have to do anything to prove that Jesus was the Messiah, and still went to Nathaniel and said: “Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” John 1.45 Philip was sure Jesus was the man that Moses had written in the law, but not Nathanael, and he replied: And Nathanael said to Him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to Him, “Come and see.” John 1.46 Philip was so sure of who was Jesus, that he was telling Nathanael that he followed Jesus. At the moment we're talking about Jesus to others, He follows us, He uses us in a right way “Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!” John 1.47. Jesus knew that Nathaniel was a good man, but was in bad time “Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” John 1.48. When the word comes to you it is because Jesus Christ has seen you, He has His eye on you. “Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” John 1.49. Nathanael already believed in Jesus, and also didn't need much to follow the Messiah. “Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” John 1.50-51 Come to follow Jesus
