Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.

God wants us to get personal with Him!

He wants us to draw near to Him and learn of Him. He wants us to press in to Him and build that one-on-one relationship with Him and take it to new heights. He wants to walk hand in hand with us!

He wants us to make our needs known to Him and trust Him with them, to supply us with what we need.

As believers, most of us are guilty, at one time or another, of bringing our needs to our pastors, our friends, our family and others. And sometimes we might even pray and ask God for help.

But then we just leave it there and never wait or listen to see what God wants us to do next. For some reason we think that once we bring it to God (or whoever else), that we can just forget about it and move on to other things. We rarely consider the fact that God may require us to take steps in order to bring the victory we’re asking for.

God is faithful to show us what we need to do. Sometimes we won’t need to do anything. But, more often than not, God will give us steps to take to carry out His plan. We need to be diligent to listen and then obey and follow His leading.

Living by faith is exciting! We can learn to live in anticipation of what God will do for us next. And we will never look back. We will never miss the days when we wished we could have the faith to see God move.

Now we can see Him move on our behalf each and every day, knowing that He is faithful and that His promises are true. And our lives will never be the same again.

Trust Him. Draw near to Him. Press in to Him. And watch your faith grow like never before.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Churches around the world are struggling, but it doesn’t have to be this way. God is willing to help. He wants to move and do mighty things within His Bride. But are we willing to let Him?

Every church we go into has the same ole, same ole routine. It seems like the same song and dance over and over again. Give me a church that doesn’t have that same ole routine and “THERE” we will find God!

It doesn’t’ have to be a big church, a fancy church or even a church building at all. It doesn’t have to be a place full of people. It can be just a few.

It doesn’t have to be a place with a loud preacher, pastor, evangelist, or priest. Nope! It can be the quietest place around. It doesn’t have to be where there are high tech lights and great music. God doesn’t need lights, music or fancy talk to get Him moving.

We’ve got to understand that our God is bigger than our thinking and He can not and will not bow to us and what we conjure up.

He says “draw near to Me” and He will what? He will “draw near to you”. When God gets near us, we are going to KNOW it!

So we need to give up this incorrect perception of God or we will miss out on Him and all that He wants to do with us and for us.

He is Jehovah. He is God Almighty. He doesn’t have to fit into our scheduled, routine-based services. That’s why we are struggling. We have closed Him out.

Do we want miracles, signs and wonders? Do we want the presence of God when we meet together?

Get rid of the routine. Stop doing the same old stuff over and over again. Draw close to Him and Let God do something NEW! Amen.
