I heard a very profound song on the radio. It talks about the void inside people, how so many try to fill it with causes and others means, but instead I am gonna walk with Jesus:
“So many people tryna fill a void inside
So many questions, asking how, asking why
I might not have all the answers, but I've tasted and I've seen
There's a better path with Jesus, there's no going back for me
I'm gonna live the way He says to live
Do what He says to do
You can choose whatever road you choose
But I'm gonna love the way He says to love
Trust the way He says to trust
This world alone will never be enough
So I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk with Jesus
(I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk)
He's in the leading, that's why I follow where He goes
He's in restoring, all the lost and broken souls
He keeps moving rich in mercy, He meets us where we are
No matter where you've gone, no such thing as 'gone too far'
I'm gonna live the way He says to live
Do what He says to do
You can choose whatever road you choose
But I'm gonna love the way He says to love
Trust the way He says to trust
This world alone will never be enough
So I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
I'm gonna walk with Jesus, I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk (I'm gonna walk), I'm gonna walk (I'm gonna walk)
I'm gonna walk with Jesus (I'm gonna walk)
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
(Though none go with me)
I'm gonna live the way He says to live
Do what He says to do
You can choose whatever road you choose
But I'm gonna love the way He says to love
Trust the way He says to trust
This world alone will never be enough
So I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
I'm gonna walk with Jesus, I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walk
I'm gonna walk with Jesus, I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk
I'm gonna walk with Jesus
I'm gonna walk with Jesus”

The line that haunted me most was “Though none go with me, I am gonna walk with Jesus.” As we are seeing Christianity in decline in popularity in The West and the rise of occultism, Nones, and Eastern mysticism, we must adopt this attitude! Though no others walk with Jesus, I will walk with Jesus. There is actually a Scripture that alludes to this, “I tell you that He will bring about justice for them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes (returns), will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8). This ominous passage paints a picture of a world that is not Christian dominate, in fact the Book of Revelation tells us the Antichrist will conquer all people, “And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation,” (Revelation 13:7), and that so many people will follow Satan, as many as sand of sea, “When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.” (Revelation 20:7-8). So we must make our walk with Jesus not based on popularity or numbers, for Jesus even said, “They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God,” (John 16:2), “If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,” (John 15:19), “You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved,” (Matthew 10:22), and “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.” (Matthew 24:9).
We have to adopt the disposition and heart of this song! Though no other will walk with Jesus, I will walk with Jesus! Our heart must be this committed. The Mega Church model is not going to last. Preterism, and idea that the whole world will be Christian before Jesus Returns is a not Scriptural and is against the words of Christ himself! We are told the opposite is true, and we must walk with Jesus, know Jesus in intimate relationship, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2). Amen.
