THE MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST
“He who loves Me shall he loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21
John 14:22-23 (KJV) Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
What God wants us to see and understand in this scripture is that “He will Manifest Himself Unto Those Who Loved Him”.
A Lot Of People Are Praying for God to manifest Himself Unto them .
To Manifest His Power
To Manifest his Presence
To Manifest His Glory
To Manifest Himself
Only Few Have The Results, Because Not all who draw near with their lips comes with their heart .
Unless His Love is Enthroned In Our Heart , We Can’t See His manifestation.
Christ Said “Those Who Love Me , I Will Manifest Myself Unto Them”
Do you love God , Is His Love In Your Heart ?
An interesting Part Says ” And my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him”.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CHRIST TO MANIFEST HIMSELF.
(1) Christ manifests Himself—when He makes a clearer revelation unto His True Children And Servant of the excellency of His person.
When He further reveals Himself with even greater clarity and brilliance, He unveils more of the captivating beauty, shining forth with radiant beams .
Through this unveiling, individuals are able to grasp a deeper understanding About Him surpassing your previous limited perception About Him.
And this is done when Christ more fully imparts the Spirit of wisdom and revelation unto them.
Upon this account, the Apostle prayed on behalf of the believing Ephesians that the Lord would give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to enlighten their understanding in the knowledge of Him, Ephesians 1:16-18.
They had the Spirit and some knowledge of Christ before—but he prays that God would give them a fuller measure of the Spirit.
THIS NEW DISCOVERY OF GOD WILL DO THE FOLLOWING.
1 . It Will Make you to be hopeful When it seems all hope is Gone
2. It will make you bold and Strong in the days of adversity.
3. It will make you See God as a Father Who is unlimited.
4. It will increase Your capacity and Hunger for holiness.
5. Your Devotion To God And Believe in His Possibility Will Appear To Be Madness To people.
(2) Christ manifests Himself when He makes a deep impression and gives a sweet sense of His presence to His Children.
Christ is never really absent from those who love Him—but He may seem to be so sometimes.
They may apprehend Him to be afar off.
He may, and often does, withdraw the sense of His presence, Song of Solomon 5:6, “I opened to my beloved—but my beloved had withdrawn himself and was gone!”
Christ manifests Himself when He draws near to His people, and makes them feel that He is near.
Giving them a sweet sense of His presence through the powerful breathings of His Spirit upon them.
Whereby their hearts are quickened, enlarged, and drawn forth towards Himself, and their graces excited unto powerful exercise.
3. Christ manifests Himself when He makes revelation of His love unto those who love Him.
When He gives them to see not only the beauty of His face—but also the smiles of His face;
When He gives them to behold the amiableness of His countenance;
When He sheds abroad the sense of His love into their hearts, giving them a full persuasion of His special love unto them.
Christ sometimes looks and speaks kindly unto His people; and this sweet language is not spoken to the bodily ear—but inwardly by His Spirit to their souls when He says to the soul,
“I am your salvation and your Saviour! I have loved you with an everlasting love, and My love is unchangeable.
The mountains shall depart and the hills be removed—but My loving-kindness shall never depart and be removed from you.
I have given Myself for you, and I have given Myself to you, and I will never repent of this gift.
I have chosen you for Myself, called and joined you unto Myself, and I will never repent of this choice, nor allow you to be disjointed from Me forever.
I have you upon My heart and keep you in My hand—and no powers of earth or hell shall be able to pluck you from there!
I have given you My grace, and I will show you My glory!
Dry up your tears ! Clear up your countenance, banish your fears, droop no longer, despond no more—but be of good cheer! Your sins are forgiven!

HOW GOD MANIFEST HIMSELF
1 . Sometimes, Gradually.
He does it by degrees; a little at one time and a little at another time.
Now He appears and then He disappears;
He manifests Himself at one time, withdraws Himself at another time; to lead His people from one revelation of Himself unto another,
until He brings them at last unto the full discovery of Himself in glory!
2. Christ manifests Himself most SWEETLY unto those who love Him, especially after long absence.
Tongue cannot express the delight, the joy, and gladness of heart, which arises from the manifestation of Christ’s presence.
3. Sometimes Christ quickly manifests Himself after a little seeking.
4. Sometimes Christ is long before He manifests Himself.
Christ makes some wait a long time to try their faith and patience, their love and obedience—.
so that He may prepare them for more than ordinary comforts and sweetness which He intends to give, in the revealing of Himself unto them.
5. Sometimes Christ suddenly manifests Himself unto those who love Him.
6. Christ manifests Himself seasonably unto those who love Him.
Some Of You have this beautiful Experience But You have Lost it .
Your Beloved has withdrawn Himself and is gone.
You call and He gives no answer; you seek Him—but you cannot find Him.
Time has been, when your Lord was present and gave you gracious visits frequently;
many a secret smile you have seen in His face,
many a comfortable word you have had from His mouth;
You have withdrawn yourselves from Christ—and He has withdrawn Himself from your souls!
You have let down your watch—and the devil has gotten advantage against you by his devices.
He has watched his opportunity and entangled you in the snares of some sins.
If You Want Christ To Return Back To His Temple , If You Desire His Presence Back , Then Go Back To Your First Love .
Repent Of Every Known Sin And The Lord Will Come Again and Manifest Himself Unto You.
