Time and Eternity Part 2

I believe we can seek the Lord like Jesus, seeked God he did it like he was looking for rain, he went on a journey to high places and prayed. If we did that we would find God like Jesus. Mike Bickle says that the context of seeking God's face in scripture is when we seek him and continue seeking him till we find him. A man looking someone at the door, knock several time and waits where he can find him. Find him in your mind and seek his face there and let the Holy Spirit move inside of you. You can find God that way. Keep seeking him till you know it is him and abide with him, to abide with him is to see the connection of God and stay with him. Get the flow of God and let yourself be centered that way. I want you to see him on a daily basis that will make you strong in the LORD. He will show you the way, love him abundantly.

It rained again

Shortly after it rained, it rained again. We will get a spiritual flood when we ask or a sign.(see the posts from last week) It won't be like the days of Noah where it floods the whole earth. God will give signs of his son when we ask him for one enough. We will get praise and worship for our king as we ask relationally for things. Paint a picture and you may get a message. It is very good to do things for the LORD because we love him.

Looking to him

Looking to him is important. He wants everything. God loves you, it is a strong love. He is your partner and when things are stressed you look to him. When things are good you look to him. When you need encouragement you look to him. We keep our life centered on the Lord. When we do that things will be better. If you set your path to be like the Lord, he can help you more. In all things we look to him for comfort, for strength; for that helping hand to get to our next level. I want you to know him; he is soooo good. 

Live a life to the calling of God whatever it be. He will sustain you.

When life is boring he gives you more life. He fills the gap and gives you more than you asked for.

It rained.

It rained, after I wrote the last message, it started to form clouds after I wrote this. God is good now we see life. It is pretty good to know him where he does stuff for us just to make it even better.

Now to connect with God. It is his sign for us. God comes in things sometimes we have to see what he is doing in the season. Be open to his messages it's not figment of your imagination. God works through many people and you have to see the patterns and character of God as you see what he is working through, whether it is the rain or not.

In the flow of God speaking you see what he is like over the years. You just know it is him, he does some things so subtlely sometimes and have to pick up on what he does. He is a life giving God and wants you to have life. This flow is picked up by other Christians and we just see him working and getting the same thing. It is like a frequency and over time you develop your tools to observe his work.
It's subtle but beautiful.

Time and Eternity

Time is a fickle thing. It seems we are never given enough of it and to Paul it is evil. As things decay through the years we must remember we are meant for a purpose. God gives us a purpose, to simply glorify him. As we reach out that purpose becomes more and more defined as we find ourselves in him. He gives legs and arms to your work. Whether it be something we planned or not. Let the lord build you up and give you revelation. I can see if we wait like God waits( 1 Kings 18:42-45) we will see more life in our life as we wait it and take it in. 

1 Kings 18:42-45:

And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go,eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.

42 "Go and look toward the sea, he told his servant. And he went up and looked.

"There is nothing there," he said.

Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."

The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."

So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'"

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain come and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. (New International Version)

Wait till the seventh time and you will get your rain in drought. The question of this is do we wait on God this way. Wait till the seventh time do we hear Go.

Look to Christ Jesus for life, he will give it to you abundantly. We wait till all the other things has passed in our mind and we seek his face in our mind. Then the still small voice comes and we are given such joy.  

So wait like God this is found biblically in 1 Kings 19:11-12: 

11 The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.

Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah? (New International Version)

Wait pass the earthquake, wind, and fire to the still small voice.  Wait till the seventh time and you will get the still small voice. Believe Jesus and repent for you never know when eternity starts for you. Enter a relationship with him and he will start to transform your life in many ways to help you along this life's journey. Seek the Lord's face in your mind and wait till you hear the still small voice. That's seeking his face and keep seeking it.

God bless you.

God wants you real

I am amazed by the Lord's work that he does in each of us. He happens to have the best for us, he constantly works on us including to be real with him. It is powerful how he moves. The Lord wants real relationship with us and to not be fake. Don't worry what he thinks all he wants is a contrite heart and intimacy from us. It is important to know that he takes the falsehood out of us and makes it work for us. He is patient to work in us and helps us through to our next level. Deeply see Christ as he is and love him for who he is. His thoughts are better than your thoughts, his ways are better than your ways. Love what he thinks, grow with it. I want you to see his ways and thoughts as for you and not against you. Accept him, don't be fake with him, be real.

Christian Goths

When we look at Christ becoming a part of a clique of friends, he becomes all things to them to win a few. We try to add him to our group the best we can. As Christians Christ becomes all things to win over to himself even though we don't know his skin color Jesus knows he becomes all things. So don't tear down statues of him. They are freedom of expression, his image is expressed differently all over the world. It's art and expression, I'm sure they never meant to offend for a white statue. Tear it down and it's one less expression taken from the world. Think about it like that. Jesus is all powerful he can be any color to express himself.
