Today, we bring you a message from Pastor Jentezen Franklin titled, “God’s Diet Plan.” The text for the message is taken from the book of John 6:35.
Pastor Jentezen teaches us that most of us don’t have farms and farm animals; most of us depend 100% upon the grocery store, and if something happens and grocery stores get shut down, most of us would starve to death. And when you have a limited diet, it makes you vulnerable.
Jesus said, “You seek me for the loaves; you just want what you can get from me; you only want one thing from me; you want me to serve you what you want, and you’re not interested in the other things that I have on my table.” Jesus has offered us salvation and forgiveness from our sins, but he has also offered us discipleship, a life of consecration, and sanctification. But so many people just want what they can get from Jesus without wanting to have a relationship with him.
Jesus wants us to be close to him and learn to love him because he has loved us first. Most people just want God to grant them their heart’s desires, and God should leave them alone and let them do what they want to do with their lives. We want him to forgive our sins, but we don’t want to be close to him or have a relationship with him. We have the desire to have all the things God has provided for us and to be close to him.
Unless we eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ and allow him to fill our lives with his presence, we don’t understand that if we don’t eat it, we will starve to death. Jesus said, “You need to seek the heavenly bread, and Jesus is the bread of life; except you eat my flesh, you have no part with me.” In John 6:66, when Jesus told them that they would only follow him for the miracle he would do for them, most of them turned and walked away. When Jesus saves you, you need to understand there is more to it. You need to have a close relationship with him and obey his will.
This is a message that you will love.
