Draw me close to You


Title: Draw me close to You

Passage: Yakobus 4:5-6


Janganlah kamu menyangka, bahwa Kitab Suci tanpa alasan berkata: "Roh yang ditempatkan Allah di dalam diri kita, diingini-Nya dengan cemburu!" Tetapi kasih karunia, yang dianugerahkan-Nya kepada kita, lebih besar dari pada itu. Karena itu Ia katakan: "Allah menentang orang yang congkak, tetapi mengasihani orang yang rendah hati." (Yakobus 4:5, 6 TB)


Shalom,

Tahukah saudara bahwa Allah Bapa ingin lebih dekat kepada kita?

Buktinya adalah bahwa Dia mau turun menjadi manusia, wafat disalib supaya kita hidup dan akhirnya mau hidup dan tinggal dalam hati kita.


Bila kita mau merendahkan hati dan kita bisa dekat bahkan intim dalam hubungan kita dengan Allah, asal kita mau menjalin dan membangun hubungan setiap saat dg Allah. Karena pd kenyataannya, kita sbg orang percaya adalah orang-orang yang menentukan seberapa dekat hubungan kita dengan-Nya. Meskipun Dia tinggal di dalam kita, Roh Kudus tidak akan memaksa hubungan dengan kita tapi Dia ingin kita menerima Dia dlm kehidupan kita.


Allah menciptakan kita untuk bersekutu dan Dia sangat menginginkan hubungan dengan kita. Dia rindu untuk berbicara kepada kita, untuk mendengarkan kita, mengajar kita dan membimbing kita, bahkan untuk menjadi bagian dari kehidupan kita. Kita akan diperbarui hidup kita bila ada persekutuan dg Allah.


Mari kita tingkatkan waktu untuk datang dan bersekutu dengan Bapa. Dia menunggu. Karena Dia berkata, "Marilah kepada-Ku ..." Jadi apalagi yg kita tunggu....


Tuhan Yesus memberkati kita semua, amin..

Have a blessed & great day.

Now more than ever before we need to press into hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is saying today. We need to know Him. This manual will help you in your journey of intimacy with the Lord and bring you to greater understanding of the commands in Scripture to encourage one another. I often will say as I instruct ones in the prophetic that all of the gifts of the Spirit flow through the prophetic. Being a prophetic person is one who is able to hear from God. We all hear from God to a certain extent. The sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and they knew what to do. Having understanding of the times is equal to having words of wisdom, words of knowledge, and discernment flowing through you. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of wisdom. If we can hear God's voice then we can hear words of knowledge. If we can hear God's voice we can have discernment. If we can hear God's voice we can have faith to declare those things that are not as though they are. If we can hear God's voice then all of the Gifts of the Spirit will flow through us. More than ever before we need to understand that in the last days, as prophesied by Joel and repeated by Peter, there will be widespread revelations from God. We will not receive revelations from God if we do not hear His voice. God speaks in a variety of ways. The most basic avenues God speaks to us are through the Bible, prayer, people, nature, dreams, and an inner sense of knowing something. Certainly and most definitely we have entered such an occasion. God is speaking today. It behooves all believers to embark on this most exciting journey of learning to hear God?s voice in as many possible ways as God is speaking.
