“SEEK MY FACE” “AND WE WILL COME TO HIM OR HER AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH THEM”
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and SEEK MY FACE and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, AND WE WILL COME TO HIM [OR HER] AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH [THEM].” John 14:23 (ESV) What a marvelous promise from our Savior who gave it all for our Salvation but we must first through our faith SEEK HIS FACE, HIS PRESENCE, HIS LOVE and HIS GRACE.
In addition, once we have allowed that to happen through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit then this is the awe inspiring part of where I need you to focus today “AND WE WILL COME TO HIM OR HER AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH THEM” I love the part that says WE WILL meaning the Father and His Son.
Now remember the Holy Spirit has already entered our lives when we allowed Him to transform, and restore, to God’s originally intent when he repeated the words “Let us make mankind in OUR IMAGE, IN OUR LIKENESS, So now you have the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit residing within us, they have made their Home within us.
But the question we must ask our self, are we ready for what is about to take place if we allow that to happen, can our mind and body handle such a takeover. “A few years ago, an angry man rushed through the Rijks Museum in Amsterdam until he reached Rembrandt’s famous painting “Nightwatch. ” Then he took out a knife and slashed it repeatedly before he could be stopped.
A short time later, a distraught, hostile man slipped into St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome with a hammer and began to smash Michelangelo’s beautiful sculpture The Pieta. Two cherished works of art were severely damaged. But what did officials do? Throw the treasured pieces out and forget about them?
Absolutely not! [Using the best of the best experts, they worked with the utmost care and precision, in RESTORING and TRANSFORMING the treasured art back to its original conditions.] (Swindoll, The Quest For Character,) Now what about our life “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,…” Eph. 2:10 (NASV)
What about when we allow the god of this world access to repeatedly destroy our lives from within as he slashes away at our character and our attempt to follow the precepts of God law of love. Do we allow God’s Spirit total access to RESTORE and TRANSFORM our life back to where God can use us to where everyone we come in contact with will know we have been touched by the Master and that we are His handiwork.
In addition, they will be able to notice that [we] have been crucified with Christ and [we] no longer live, but [GOD THE FATHER AND HIS SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT HAVE NOW MADE THERE HOME WITHIN US AND]. The life [we] now live in the body, [we] live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for [us].” Gal. 2:20 (NIV)
And this was all made possible because I decided that I had allowed the god of this world control of my life long enough I have even decided to let go of my “Socially acceptable Sins” and SEEK THE FACE OF THE MASTER and now through a joint effort from all of the host of the heavenly realm, I am now “Safe to Save” for God’s pure and holy kingdom and oh what a day that will be for “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Cor 2:9 (KJV)
My friends it is time to make a life changing decision. The angels pulled back that curtain long ago, you have seen for some time now where this controversy is headed. But soon very soon “our father which art in heaven” will say IT IS FINISHED so please, please, SEEK HIS FACE TODAY.
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
