SEEK GOD, HE IS NEARBY

Many of us today easily forget the position we have in God as heirs of the Kingdom. We complain like we don’t have access again.  When you pray you are heard by God and it’s because He listens to us. Prayer is one of the most wonderful and powerful avenues to fellowship with Him. God manifests any way He wants and you can truly call on Him at all times.

 He desires to give us witty ideas and inventions, however, until we get on our knees and pray. Isaiah 64:1 “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you!” (NIV) God is looking for people who will pray that He tear the heavens open. Scripture teaches us that the heavens can be closed, become brazen and the earth become as iron underneath. Deuteronomy 28:23-24 “The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.”  (NIV) The only way to defeat sin in your life, is not when you sing about it, it’s not when you praise about it, it’s not when you read promises about it, it’s when you get on your knees and pray about it. Unction is released by prayer, the deeper you get in prayer, the greater you experience the power and presence of God, and remember, in his presence is fullness of joy. Glory to God.

Confession: I declare that I will dwell in the shelter of the Most High God, I declare that I will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty, I declare that God is my refuge and my fortress, I declare that You are my God in whom I trust and with great confidence in whom I will rely. Jesus is Lord.

Further Readings: Ezekiel 22:30; And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Psalm 84:2; My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
