Seeing Jesus face to face – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
“As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.” (Psalm 17:15)
My precious friend, today’s promise is from Psalm 17:15, “As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.” Jesus says in Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” How can we be pure in heart? There is no one who is pure and holy but God. But only if we are pure in heart, we can see God. So what’s this purity we should have? Purity is to long for Jesus.
Being pure is the longing to hear His voice and to walk by His word and do His will. For seven years my father cried to see Jesus and hear His voice. Then Jesus appeared to him and He said, “My son, because you have sought Me diligently, I have come personally to bless you. Today, I am giving you a new heart. I am removing the human heart which is a heart of stone and I am giving you My heart, a heart of love.”
So when we see Jesus we are transformed into His image. It is this longing that makes us pure in heart. When my father passed away, twenty three days I could not sleep and I was crying saying, “Now who will carry these millions whom my father carried through Jesus?” After that on March 14th 2008, I had a divine visitation from the Lord and I heard His voice and saw His light. He showed me the future and since then He has been walking with me, talking with me and teaching me to do my part to carry the millions. My wife cried out when my father was sinking several years ago, saying, “My father is gone and now if my father in law who is a father to me also goes to the Lord who will carry me?” Jesus appeared to her too. She saw Him face to face for one and half hours. Her life changed. That’s what happens when we see His likeness. Yes, that’s the grace God wants to give you. We read in Numbers 12:8 regarding how He speaks to Moses, “With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” Yes, God will give you this grace to see Jesus face to face and see His form and then be transformed into His image.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Open my eyes. I long for You Lord. Speak to me face to face and help me to bring You to the broken hearted millions in the world.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
