Jesus the Inconvenience

THE INCONVENIENCE OF JESUS

This morning I woke with a feeling that was not my own — a quiet sense of being seen as an inconvenience rather than a blessing.

And immediately the Lord spoke:

“This is Me. This is how My people treat My presence. I want to dwell with them, but they will not let Me in.”

People say they want Jesus, but they do not want the order that comes when He walks through the door.

They want His comfort, but not His rearrangement. His peace, but not His alignment. His blessing, but not His cleansing. His nearness, but not His correction.

Jesus Himself becomes an inconvenience because His presence changes the atmosphere of a home.

He exposes what was hidden. He straightens what has bent over time. He brings clarity where there has been silence. He brings truth where people prefer shadows.

And all who walk in Him carry this same atmosphere.

This is why some places resist us — not because of who we are, but because of Who lives in us.

Light unsettles what has learned to tolerate darkness. Order unsettles what has learned to live in disorder.

WHEN JESUS ENTERS A HOME

Where Jesus is welcomed, homes become peaceful , air becomes clean, and clarity settles like morning light.

Where He is resisted, people feel discomfort — not because He condemns, but because His presence reveals what has been left unattended.

And so it is with us.

We do not need to speak, correct, or draw attention to anything.

Order in us reveals disorder around us. Truth in us exposes illusion. Light in us uncovers shadows.

It is not personal. It is spiritual.

Not because of who we are, but because of Who lives in us.

THE PROPERTY THAT REJECTED HIS ORDER

The place where I live felt the same resistance Jesus feels.

They did not reject me because of wrongdoing. They rejected the order and truth that came with my presence.

Righteousness will always expose what has become normalised, neglected, or quietly hidden.

Where Jesus dwells, things cannot remain dysfunctional. They either align or react.

And here, they reacted.

Not because I accused, but because the atmosphere of Christ in me revealed what disorder wanted to keep buried.

This is the same response Jesus received in every town that valued comfort over truth.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE HEART OF JESUS

When the Lord said, “This is How I’m Feeling as an Inconvenience,”He was not revealing our hurt — He was revealing His.

He longs to enter, to dwell, to bring peace, to bring restoration, to reorder what has been lost or broken.

But many only want Him at the doorstep — close enough to bless, but not close enough to transform.

They want a visitor, not a resident. A comforter, not a King . A Saviour, but not a Lord.

And those who walk in Him carry this same experience.

We feel what He feels because His heart is alive in us.

THE TRUTH OF OUR PRESENCE

This revelation made one thing very clear:

We are not an inconvenience. We are carriers of order. Carriers of peace. Carriers of truth.

When we walk into a room, atmospheres lift, peace settles, and clarity begins to breathe.

But for those unsettled in their own disorder, our presence feels confronting — not because we judge, but because His light in us reveals what their hearts have learned to ignore.

This is not rejection. This is spiritual recognition.

We carry what many pray for, but not all are willing to receive.

Some will resist us. Others will welcome us. Those who welcome us welcome Him — and with Him comes order, peace, covering, and restoration.

Because what we bring is not ourselves — it is Jesus, who longs to dwell with His people if they will only let Him in.
