God's Favorite House - Part 7 (Aug. 1, 2010)
Part 7 - God' Favorite House
What is our new motto? Never trust anyone who doesn't walk with a limp. Do we all still approach God with a discount store mentality?
Our character is built on how well we handle tough situations.
God is looking for people who want to seek His presence, who are after His own heart. He's wanting people who want to spend face time with Him.
Can you imagine what it would be like to stare God in the face and describe what you saw?
What would God see when He stared in your face intently?
The highest form of worship that we can do, is to come before God not wanting anything, not wanting a thing, but in pursuit of His glorious face! We can become God's Favorite House when we want those face to face encounters with God's glory.
Whatever the gift is that you have, it should lead you to a deep, spiritual hungering for God.
And then, only God can satisfy that deep hungering from what that gift leaves. His hand supplies our needs. But only His face can satisfy our deepest longings. When you look upon His face, you are brought into your destiny.
You are created for a purpose. There's not a one of you sitting here today; who doesn't have a purpose. God has created you for a reason.
But when we can enjoy staring into God's face, then God can reveal to us what He wants. But there's a big difference between the anointing of God and the encountering of His face.
God wants us to fall head over heels in love with HIM.
Do you want an appetizer? or do you want the full meal? That is the difference between the anointing and experiencing the face of God.
If you're running from an encounter with God, then maybe it's time you stop and look at yourself. What is it that's causing you not to give God your all? Is it a sin? Then ask for
forgiveness. If it's a relationship, then ask for some help. Whatever the IT is, remove the IT.
What is standing between you and God? Only you can answer those questions.
We have to lose our dignity in pursuit of His deity.
Those things that make God comfortable, will make us uncomfortable. There are no shortcuts that we can take that will open up the heavens.
The difference between the anointing of God and the glory of God?? Is like the difference between static electricity and the raw power of a 440 volt, or a lightning strike.
One little jolt from God can change your life.
The question is: What do YOU want as a church or as a people? What do YOU want?
I can come up here and talk all day long, but what do you want? That's the question I'm going to leave with you this week. I want you to decide what you want in life.
I've already challenged you: what is standing between you and God? What keeps you from encountering God's presence?
Do we want just a little static jolt, of static electricity? Or do we want a 440 volt that'll change the course of our lives forever?
Ask God what it's going to take to change your life forever.
