It Is Time! pt.2

Where am I? We need to be ready to leave where God is not and go to where God is! It is always important to know where we are and where God is. Where are we in relation to where God desires us to be? I personally feel the need to press in and press through the opposition of the enemy into the good that God has for me and all that I may influence.

Jer. 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

God has “good” planned for those who will answer His call to discipleship. He has a promised (secured) end or divine heritage. We need not question our finish if only we will heed the voice of God.

Jer. 29:12, “Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.”

Oh, to call upon God, to seek His face and hear and see His answer! He promises to hear and respond (hearken). Our challenge is to clearly perceive His response. The Spirit of God is pushing back against the darkness that permeates this sinful world. God is calling His warriors to come along side Him, join in the battle and share His victory. He is calling us to our knees to intercede for a lost and dying world.

Jer. 29:13, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

“...ye shall seek me, and find me...” God is always available. He is always with us. But we must have the sense of His presence to recognize His voice and to understand what he is doing or planning to do. God's promise is that we will find Him when we search for Him with all our heart. The human condition requires the intervention of our creator. We always stand in need of God's assistance. The question is, “Do we really want his help?” Are we willing to relinquish complete control of our lives to Him? He knows the way we take (the path we should follow) and will direct our steps accordingly.

God has a plan for us. A plan for good and not evil. He has an expected (secured) finish for His people. Lord, help us to search for you with all our heart. Help us to walk in your manifest presence and to seek you with all our heart! Amen. Yes, it is time to pray! (continued)
