16 Jan – Encountering God

Imagine if we all pressed the pause button on a regular basis, and cried out, “God would you visit me and reveal yourself and your ways.” Imagine if we all had a discontentment arise in our hearts where the quick fix, done that God moments weren’t enough any more and we really sought His face. Imagine if we all didn’t care if everyone thought we had “lost it”, as long as we had Jesus showing up in our lives; in our lounge rooms, workplaces and wherever we gathered together?

Where we determined to let go of our stuff; of all the distractions, habits and mindsets that hold us back and instead prayed, “God please move! Pour out your power and reveal yourself afresh; I want to know you more”.

I believe God wants us to encounter Him and for us to know Him and Him us. Because when we give Him time, when we stop rushing around in our frenetic activity and choose instead to seek Him, and I mean really seek Him, God always answers and He always shows up.

Today I encourage you to seek God, lean into Him; make it your hearts cry to know Him more. That you will encounter God and all of heaven in a fresh way so that you would never be the same again.

“Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14)

“Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT)

“Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you” (Psalm 85:6)

Prayer: Lord I want to know you God and the depths of who you are. I want to experience heaven and all the wonders of your person more fully. Please would reveal more of yourself to me today. In Jesus Name Amen.
