God’s Call

Yesterday we had a mighty time in prayer. The angles of God were kept busy all night.  Also while waiting upon the Father I suddenly realised that I wasn’t right with him. God wasn’t attracted to my praises. I felt empty and asked what the matter was. This has been going on for a long time. And God spoke that if one has to come into God’s presence one has to be Holy. For He is a Holy God. If I want God to show up when I stand or talk I need to be Holy. For He is the Holy one enthroned on Israel – Psalms 22v 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel.

Shannon helped us see these points.

• Consider this Hebrews 12:v14-Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
• Psalms 22v 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel.
• Mathew 5:v8 God blesses those people whose hearts are pure. They will see him!
  Contemporary English Version (CEV)

• Psalm 24( A Psalm of David)

  Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
  who do not worship idols
  and never tell lies.
  5 They will receive the Lord’s blessing
  and have a right relationship with God their savior.
  6 Such people may seek you
  and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.

So I’m going to be Holy and Pure for God. So that I can serve the master at all times. And at this reminded me of something The Lord had commanded me to observe and to do a long time ago. To be true, I have neglected that command. But I have repented and given my word to God that I shall start again.
