Seeking God
Psalm 34:4, "I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears." One of the many blessings of serving in this field of ministry is to see people in the altar night after night seeking God. Some of these people are seeking God for spiritual needs while others are seeking God for strength to deal with certain issues/circumstances that may be taking place in their lives. Some of them may be praying for friends or family members that are estranged from God but all of them have something in common. The Lord is hearing the cry of their heart; He is aware of their individual situation and He is ready and willing to respond to them. You may need encouragement in that area of your life today; remember that the Lord does hear your prayer and that He stands ready to respond. His heart is alert to your need and He cares about the needs that you possess. Trust in His promise and trust in His power to fulfill those promises.
Over the past few services God has reminded me that He responds to us as individuals and not just collectively as a body of believers. He will reach out to the individual need that I have and He will minister to me in such a way that I can be comfortable in my response to God. I always encourage people to understand that God will reach out to you at the point of your need and He will provide the ministry touch that you need. I see people cry, I see people shout, I see people smile, and I see people embrace those around them when they sense the presence of God come into their lives. It does not matter how you respond, just be willing to respond to His love and care. God hears, God cares, and God is interested in your life.

Some people have an Idea that God is inclusive for mans eternal destiny, that all religions and all people will be saved. That God will allow all of mankind to enter into heaven because everybody is good so God must be fair and include everyone! It is true God does love the whole world but God is exclusive about mans eternal destiny without the Savior. To keep this simple man has a problem called sin in which man refuses to believe that there are eternal consequences for having sin, which is a one way ticket to hell. God is holy and he will not allow anyone with sin to enter into heaven. God is hurt and angry about our sin, we have broken his laws. But God is just and good and he knows our need so he provided a solution to our problem. His solution to our problem is to have our sins removed by having our sins placed on someone else, a sacrifice for us; paying for the penalty of the sin we have in our lives. So that someone else would get the penalty of Gods wrath and separation on him that was meant for us. So God sent his son Jesus on a mission from heaven to earth as our sacrifice to die on the cross on our behalf after this happened three days later Jesus came back from the dead, alive. But that’s not all remember I wrote that God is exclusive about mans eternal destiny without the Savior? The only way that Gods promise can be applied to your life is for you to turn from your way of thinking and know that your sin offends and hurts God and call on the Lord Jesus who’s alive to save you. Your sins are then transferred to Jesus for what he did at the cross, dying and being abandon by God because of your sins, for you and because Jesus arose from the dead he is alive you can now enter into a relationship with God. Will you call out to Jesus to save you? It’s your choice to enter in exclusively with God’s grace for you. Where will you want to spend eternity after hearing Gods promise for you?
ReplyDeleteIf the answer was yes that you do want Jesus as your sin bearer, Savior, and you do believe God raised Jesus from the dead you can pray with your voice.
“Dear Jesus save me.”
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the
Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
