“Seeking and Going After God”
“Seeking God’s Face”
II Chronicle 7:14, 15 I Chronicle 28:9 Deuteronomy 4:29 Ezra 8:21, 22
Psalm 27:1 - 4 Proverbs 8-17
• If we are going to experience God’s glory and power – His miracle working power on our behalf – We have to seek Him as never before
• Seeking or going after anything is work – The enemy will do anything that he can to keep you from being a seeker
• Because when you seek God – You will find Him
• One thing the enemy does not want you to do – To find God in a new and fresh way
• Because it will change your life in a greater area
• Many Christians have gotten stalemate in their relationship with God
• Their relationship with God has reached a plateau - Their commitment level has not grown – They are not experiencing the Splendor of God –The Glory of God – In the way that He wants them to experience it
• So their life is not the shining example that God wants it to be in order to draw people to Him
• God wants you to have an unquenchable hunger for Him – That you desire Him more than anything else
• When you have that unquenchable hunger for Him – God then shows up in more ways than you can ever imagine
• We should be moving to glory to glory
• It is so easy to plateau in your relationship with God – When you’re not really seeking Him on a level greater than anything else
• If you are not challenging yourself to new levels of prayer – To new levels of fasting – To new levels of witnessing – To new levels of giving – Your relationship will stalemate.
• Seek God’s face – Not His hands or pocketbook
• Seek: Inquire - discover - go to – reach toward – reach out for – to search – to be after – to look high and low – to crave – deeply hunger for
• Serve God with a perfect heart and a willing mind – These are the things that will stop you from being a seeker after God
• If the year 2011 is going to be a greater year for you – It will happen when you make up your mind to go after God
• You can not go after God – Without Him going after you
• You can not seek Him – Without finding Him
• When you find Him – He will show you a new side – Some areas that you have never seen before in your life
• God is searching your heart – To see if your heart is really perfect before Him
• To see if your motives are really right – Whether you want Him the way that He wants you to want Him
• If you want the God of the Break-Through to show up for you – You have to start going after Him
• If you forsake God – He will cast you far off
• God wants you to have a relationship with Him for who He is – Not for what you can get from Him
• Seekers open the door for the God of the Break-Through to show up for them
• Satan hates seekers after God – Because he knows God will show up for them
• Satan will do everything he can to distract you – To block you from your pursuit after God
• Seekers always win
• Seekers live longer lives – Are more happier – More joyful than non-seekers
