WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  DRAW CLOSER

Heb 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Now as we approach the shaking of this world we need to hold onto our faith with every ounce of strength, we have within us. We need to draw closer to the Lord. There are safety and peace within him. We are about to see things we never thought possible both good and bad. We need to encourage each other in the word of God, so that we may follow his ways.

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

We all can get caught up in the day to day requirement to just live, work, errands, preparing food, having clean clothes etc. We sometimes push God to the back burner. We become tired and think tomorrow will be better. When tomorrow comes it too is pack with a list that demands attention. Before we know it, a week has gone by and we wonder why we are feeling spiritually tired. We realize we have barely said more than grace for a week. Which reminds me of a quote I saw once,  “Seven days without prayer makes one weak.” “W- E-A-K” as in no strength.

As hard as it is to carve out time to sit quietly and pray, we must make the effort. God desires to spend time with us. He wants to pour good thing out for us. When we run on auto pilot we soon use all of our oil. We become like the five foolish virgins.

Spending time drawing closer to God will replenish our oil and cause God’s anointing to flow in our lives again. In that place of anointing there is peace, healing and strength. We will be able to be used by God to pour out that anointing on them. We will be able to share wisdom and encouragement. An empty vessel cannot pour out what it doesn’t hold inside. It is time that we become saturated with the power and anointing of the Holy Ghost. That is the only way we can be effective in whatever God has for us to do.

Psalm 42:1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

Just as our physical bodies thirsts for water. Our spiritual man, needs God’s living water. To keep from drying up spiritually we have to keep contact with the flow of God.

Psalm 63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

Our land is a dry and thirsty land, people are in desperate need of God’s living water. We will never reach them if we are thirsty too.  If our soul is so dry of thirst that every drop God pours out, we absorb, we will not have any left to pour out to others.  Early in the morning when all is quiet in the world we need to rise up and seek God for his guidance. We need to cover our day with prayer. Pray that God goes before us and makes our path straight.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
