Delight in His Love

Ben CerulloBy Ben Cerullo2 Minutes

How is it possible that so many believers turn the life of extraordinary faith in Jesus into something ordinary and even humdrum? Never opening the door of their heart to real love and delight in the Lord, they miss out on the amazing work of the Holy Spirit moving through them to build God’s Kingdom on earth.

Those who truly know Jesus understand that delight and faith are inseparably united. Those who love God with all their hearts find that their “heart is glad in Him because [they] trust in His holy name (Psalm 33:21). His sons and daughters discover such joy and confidence that, rather than serving Him out of obligation or fear, they gladly follow Him though all the world despise them.

As a believer, you shouldn’t follow Jesus because you think He will send you to hell if you don’t. Your faith should not be a chain around your neck; your confession of faith should not be considered bondage; you should never consider serving your brothers and sisters in Christ to be a miserable, religious burden.

If you feel this way, ask the Lord to search your heart and renew a right spirit within you. Regularly exercise spiritual disciplines like prayer and Bible reading to supercharge your spirit and discover a new love and gratitude for who He is. The whole purpose of your relationship with Jesus is to experience His pleasure as His son or daughter. He wants your hope in Him to be your joy, your Christian service to be a response driven by your love of your living Savior.

If you surrender everything to Jesus, your faith will rise like an eagle to new heights. Delight in Him today, and let the joy of His matchless love overwhelm your heart.

Ben Cerullo is the son of David Cerullo and the grandson of the late Morris Cerullo. He comes from a rich spiritual heritage—his father, David Cerullo, is chairman and CEO of Inspiration Ministries, a ministry that reaches more than a billion potential people daily through its worldwide television networks, video-on-demand, online streaming, and other media outreaches. His grandfather, the late Dr. Morris Cerullo, was recognized around the world for his dedication to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing the salvation message to more than 200 nations and territories throughout his nearly seven decades in ministry.

Named by Charisma Magazine as one of the "30 Emerging Voices" who will lead the church in the next decade, Ben's ministry carries a powerful anointing and prophetic message. Over the course of his evangelistic career, he traveled extensively—both domestically and internationally—ministering in more than 27 nations, with God confirming His Word with signs following.

In 2000, Ben started Steelroots, one of the first ministries to blend action sports with Christian music to reach youth. Under his leadership, Steelroots sponsored live events and produced groundbreaking television programs that brought an unconventional approach to modern-day evangelism, crossing cultural and generational boundaries to reach a broad international television audience.

In 2007, Ben felt God's call to move in a new direction—to reach the nations of the world. As doors opened, he held meetings in places such as Sierra Leone, Honduras, Peru, Haiti, Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, Colombia, England, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Taipei, Taiwan, and Mexico.

Today, Ben continues to minister through Inspiration Ministries, reaching audiences around the world through digital media and the written word.
