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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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\u2019t have that same ole routine and “THERE” we will find God!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It doesn\u2019t’ 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.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t have to be a place with a loud\u00a0preacher,\u00a0pastor, evangelist, or priest. Nope! It can be the quietest place around. It doesn\u2019t have to be where there are high tech lights and great music.\u00a0God doesn’t need lights,\u00a0music or fancy talk\u00a0to get Him moving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We’ve got to understand that our God is bigger\u00a0than\u00a0our thinking\u00a0and He can not<\/em> and will not<\/em> bow to us and what we conjure up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He says “draw near to Me” and He will what? He will “draw near to you”. When God\u00a0gets\u00a0near us, we are going to KNOW it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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 <\/em>us and for <\/em>us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He is Jehovah. He is God Almighty. He doesn’t have to fit into our scheduled, routine-based services. That’s<\/em> why we are struggling. We have closed Him out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Do we want miracles,\u00a0signs and wonders?\u00a0Do we want the presence of God when we meet together?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Get rid of the routine. Stop doing the same old stuff over and over again. Draw close to Him and\u00a0Let God do something NEW! Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
