There is an inner life, and there are inner enemies to battle, conquer, and destroy. The enemies of our inner life are those forces that want to scatter our thoughts by focusing our attention on external things.
These enemies are lusts and desires of every kind that seek to distract our concentration by causing our thoughts to become attached to outward things that will pass away. This is perdition: the things that the heart was attached to pass away, while the person, who is an eternal being, is left with an emptiness that should have been filled with God Himself.
That is why it is so incredibly important now for God to turn our mind away from everything that is external—the things that will pass away—and turn it inward to the source of life that abides forever, just as our soul will abide forever—so that joy and unspeakable delight can fill us, beyond this time of corruptibility and continuing into unfathomed eternities. May the Lord equip us for this.

Here on X, just as anywhere in the world, there is a lot of fake and superficial stuff going on.
Those who are tired of all of that and who are longing for something deeper, more meaningful and real quickly pick up on when something and someone has true value.
The question is: What are YOU looking for (what do you want)?
Another way to ask the same question is: What am I looking for (what do I want)?

Don't be satisfied. Be sick.
Sick of your current situation.
Sick of how you still act and react.
Such of being stuck in the same old (religious) place.
Reach out from where you are!
Help is at hand for those who ask for it.
You can ask for it, can't you? Unless you're too proud to do so?
Come on, proove yourself wrong for once in your life.

Fast, flashy videos, emotional hooks, dopamine hits, celebrity credibility, and a product to buy in the end can make “Christian” content feel powerful and plausible.
Yet, Jesus did not come to become content. He came in flesh, lived the life, overcame, and called people to follow Him in His footsteps (to live the same life He did).
Are we still looking to do that or are we looking for our next religious high?
“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14v33 NKJV
“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” Philippians 3v7–8 NKJV
ALT Split-screen illustration contrasting public celebrity and quiet everyday life. On the left, a long-haired celebrity-style man in flashy clothing stands in the spotlight with cameras, reporters, and bright stage lights around him, suggesting fame, image, and attention. On the right, a normal man in an apron stands at the kitchen sink washing dishes and looking toward the viewer, while his wife sits in the background and their child plays nearby. The image highlights the contrast between commercialized, attention-driven religion and a simple, humble life of service at home.

Can someone please tell me how this could ever even be possible if it's not talking about the physical wooden cross that Jesus was nailed onto?

We must endure the fellowship of the sufferings of Christ if the power of God is to remain with us; since we are to be conformed to Christ in His death. We know that Christ died in weakness; yet it is precisely in this weakness that the power of God can be manifested.

First I need revelation about who and how Jesus really is, and then I need revelation about who and how I really am.

What if Jesus isn't what we think He is, and He can really help me with my day-to-day hang-ups?

Is Jesus reachable or unreachable? Is He God or man or both? That we need revelation about...

What if Jesus was someone with whom I could really see eye to eye - and not just a whole bunch of pie in the sky?

Anyone who believes they're no longer in darkness in any area of their life has lost connection with the Source of Light and no longer needs Him.
An "all-enlightened" person no longer needs anymore light, so will be left in their darkness which they thought was all light.
For God, though, on the contrary, even the darkness of night is as the bright noonday sun.
I'd rather acknowledge that the rest of the way through my flesh will be through utter darkness, so that I can remain in desperate need of a Saviour until my last, dying breath.
The way backwards is to rest on my laurels (the light I've already received), which soon leads to pride and high-mindedness, and an offputting spirit to anyone who is poor in spirit.
True revelation is that the way forward is through the flesh (through my corrupt human nature) - through darkness into more and more of God's glorious light over how much I still admire myself.
I choose true revelation. What do you choose?

A hand holds a flashlight, shining into the room and revealing two large cracked stone idols: a clothed female statue on the left and a male statue on the right, both holding mirrors and admiring themselves. The scene symbolizes hidden self-worship, pride, and inner darkness being exposed by light.

Wisdom cannot be obtained without being poor in spirit. You must recognize your need for it. Those who are poor in spirit see their shortcomings and mistakes and allow themselves to be chastened. They are searching for something they do not yet possess. They are dissatisfied with themselves. They have a compelling need for true fulfillment, for truth—for God Himself. Such souls are poor in spirit, and the kingdom of heaven is theirs. They seek God and God seeks them. We also need to search among the people for those who are poor in spirit, because they are like rare pearls.

If you feel trapped by everything "religious", and everything else that life has been throwing at you - with a sense of desperation and hopelessness slowly creeping in and taking over your mind - just know that there is a way out. Your dark, slippery, slimy, spiralling pit of self-despair leading downwards ends here.
Listen to this song and be filled with hope for your future:

Take His hand - let Him lead you home.
There are many others like you who have found the way out.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE! 🙂
