My only focus right now is on Yeshua through a Christian Mystic approach. I want to know who Yeshua was. I need to know my Lord in order to worship him in spirit and truth. I believe my studies of Yeshua will transform me. If I know him, I know the Father. In John 8:20 Yeshua said, "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
For months I've searched through resources looking for the approach that matched the desires of my heart. I haven't connected with the traditional approach to Christian lifestyle that I've seen in most settings today. The main purpose seems to be converting "non-believers". For years this has felt foreign and it hasn't brought me peace. It didn't feel right to say "I know God. You do not. You need to take xyz steps to become worthy of life." It didn't set right with me and I started to feel very distant from my Christian brothers and sisters who ascribed to such behavior. My main complaint was that they didn't look like Jesus to me. They didn't sound like Jesus and they didn't remind me of Jesus. They reminded me more of... Americans haha.
Anyway after studying numerous resources from other spiritual belief systems I still felt unfulfilled and my questions had not been answered. But I definitely gained perspective, insight, and wisdom as I realized how people of other faiths were seeing the world. Yet, they didn't teach me about who Jesus was. Although they helped me see common ground, which was nice. I decided to study the Gospels ALONE. And that's where I am now. I'm studying the Gospels until my belly is full and the Lord puts something else before me.
