Praise be to the Most High God, who was, who is, and who ever shall be.
Hi, you blessed of the Lord. I felt impressed to share something with you, to be disseminated however you see fit. On Tuesday March 14th in intercessory prayer, the Lord began to strongly and grievously impress upon my spirit the need for the body to seek Him.
He showed me the body of Christ wandering, going from this meeting to that one, to hear this prophet and that one, to this class and that, yet without direction. We have sought God's blessings, His favor, His gifts, His anointing, and whatever He has to offer us, and have not sought HIM, the Giver of every good and perfect gift. It's as if we've said to God, "Leave the gift on my doorstep, or mail it to me, but don't come to my house!"
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we need God more than we need miracles, blessings, favor, health or anything in this physical world! When we have the presence of God Himself, everything else comes with Him! God never comes empty-handed. He who created the universe and upholds all things by the Word of His Power is the Almighty God.
In the Old Testament, the Ark represented the presence of God. They valued and reverenced God's presence. We've become content with God's grace, because that's mostly what we're seeing manifested. We're content with the dewdrops, and God wants to send the former and latter rain!
It is time that we repent, and ask God's forgiveness for being so greedy, self-serving and inattentive. We must cry out for God's presence, and desire it more than we desire life itself. We know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so we'll be with Him then. We want the Lord's presence with us now!
We don't just want God to show up and leave. We want to be in a place of oneness with Him, where He is! Come up to the higher things of God.
God wants to do the miraculous, the spectacular through you! He desires to use you to reach this generation, right in the place where you are - at your job, in your home and neighborhood. He wants to impact the world with His glory wherever you go. God wants the unsaved world to know that He is the great I Am. And for that cause He wants to manifest Himself to you, in you and through you.
Seek His face and call on Him while he may be found! God bless you in Jesus' name.
