- Do you want to see answered prayer?
- Do you want to experience God’s presence?
- When you cry for help, do you want Him to say, “Here am I”?
- In Isaiah, God says, to His people, “Then you will call., and the Lord will answer.”
- Then…when?
- When we approach Him, His way.
- God’s people had been fasting and praying, but just going through the motions.
- They had been seeking God on their terms and in their way.
- They were performing the outward duties of praying and fasting without an inward heart change.
- They were very busy performing their Religious “Duties”, but missing God in the process.
- In Isaiah 29:13, God says, “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. (9) They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.”
- Please, don’t let this be you.
- He says, “Their hearts are far from me.”
- Today, give Him all of your heart.
- God does not want your outward obedience, He wants your heart.
- God wants the things that break His heart to break yours.
- He wants you to humble yourself and say, God, I’m not doing it my way, I’m doing it your way.
- He wants you to look up and see the oppression around you and not be alright with it.
- He wants you to step in and help those who can’t help themselves.
- He doesn’t want you to hide from the world, He wants you to be a Light to the world.
- He wants you to help restore what has been broken, but not out of “Duty”...out of His Grace.
- Don’t waste your time, approaching God with the right words and actions if you are not going to have a heart that is willing to change.
- Today, say to God, “Lord, mold me and shape me into your image”
- Truly Humble yourself, today.
- Don’t compare yourself to those around you, compare yourself to Jesus.
- Don’t look at others and judge others.
- Don’t put the focus on anyone else…Put yourself on the examination table and let the Healer come in.
- Allow Jesus to come into your life and radically change it.
- Allow Him to have complete access to every area of your life.
- Don’t cover up anything.
- Don’t Hide anything…
- He already knows you, the real you.
- He wants to accomplish great things in and through you but first He needs you to trust Him with your heart!
- Let today be a Heart Change kind of day.
- When you do, you will hear Him say, “Here am I”
- Have a great Wednesday.
