love? More revelation and wisdom? More patience and kindness? Or how about healing? Deliverance? Financial freedom? A relationship? Promotion? We’re all looking for something, and if you’re not…you should be!.... “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe “And without faiththat He it is impossible is, to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” –Hebrews 11:6, NKJV
of those who seek Him.” –
Hebrews 11:6, NKJV 1. Seek God When You’re Lost.
“Seek the Lord while He may be
found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.” –Isaiah 55:6-7, NASB Once you make Jesus the Lord of your life, a miracle happens, and you become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Begin reading your Bible, and seeking God with your whole heart. He will begin giving you answers to your life, and you will never be the same! 2. Seek God When You Need Healing and Deliverance.
“He personally carried our sins in His body on the
cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By His wounds you are healed.” –1 Peter 2:24 Do you desire better health? Do you need deliverance from disease, addiction or depression? If you said yes to any of these, there is good news! Jesus came to destroy all the works of the devil and to bring healing to our whole being—spirit, soul and body. 3.Seek God When You’re in Need of Things.
“Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’
or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” –Matthew 6:31-33, NKJV 5. Seek God When You’re Planning Your Future.
“‘For I know the plans I have for
you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.’” –Jeremiah 29:11- 13 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” God has already planned a good life for you, but you have a responsibility to find out what it is. Jeremiah 29:11-13 gives a clue as to how. It says that you should pray and look for God with your whole heart. He promises that you will find Him, and then, He will reveal His purpose and plans to your heart. 5. Seek God for Your Heart’s Desire.
“Take delight in the Lord, and He will give
you your heart’s desires.” –Psalm 37:4 Do you have desire or dream in your heart? Maybe it’s to have a Christian spouse or to have children. Perhaps, you’re looking to start the career of your dreams. Or maybe you long for restored relationships, salvation for a loved one, or a deeper revelation from God. Perhaps, you’re passionate about doing greater works for the Lord. Whatever it is, God wants to give you the godly desires of your heart. When you’re in right relationship with God and seeking Him, God will literally put desires that are pleasing to Him in your heart, so that you will be compelled to fulfill the plans and purposes He has for you. 6. Seek God When Nothing Seems to Be Happening.
“Keep on asking, and you will
receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” –Matthew 7:7-8 Have you heard the phrase, “Keep on keeping on”? Well, this is what Jesus was saying in Mathew 7:7-8. You will find what you’re looking for if you are persistent, and if you don’t give up on God’s Word. Remember, all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ Jesus with a resounding “Yes!” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Even when the promise doesn’t appear right away, stay strong in your faith by seeking God and putting His Word in your eyes and ears. Determine to not give up on anything God has promised you.
