Mendekat Kepada Allah


Title: Mendekat Kepada Allah

Passage: Yakobus 4:8

Series: Mezbah Pagi


"Mendekatlah kepada Allah, dan Ia akan mendekat kepadamu. Tahirkanlah tanganmu, hai kamu orang-orang berdosa! dan sucikanlah hatimu, hai kamu yang mendua hati!" (Yakobus 4:8 TB)


Shalom,

Untuk Saya pribadi ayat ini adalah konfirmasi bahwa kita harus datang mendekat kepada Allah dan Allah akan mendekat kepada kita (ayat ini jg mendukung kita membangun hubungan dg Allah). Selain itu juga sebagai peringatan supaya kita berhenti/bertobat atas hidup kita yg berdosa (ingat kita orang2 berdosa sebelum kita ditebus oleh darah-NYA).


Ada begitu banyak orang percaya yang belum menyediakan waktu (bayar harga) untuk memiliki hubungan pribadi dg Allah. Mereka berpikir bahwa mereka tidak pernah bisa datang kepada Allah, tidak dapat memiliki hubungan khusus dengan-Nya, karena mereka berpikir harus membersihkan/bebas dosa dulu baru datang kepada Tuhan. Siapa orang didunia ini yg bersih dan bebas dari dosa? Kecuali Tuhan Yesus!


Inilah alasan utama kenapa Tuhan Yesus datang, karena dengan semua kebaikan kita tidak akan pernah bisa menyelamatkan kita tanpa Dia. Kita harus percaya, mengaku dan memiliki Yesus dalam hidup kita. Kematian dan darah-Nya, yang membayar lunas dosa2 kita.


Allah rindu semua dari kita datang mendekat kepada-Nya. Jangan menjauh, apapun masalahmu saat ini bawa dekat pada-NYA pasti Bapa akan memberi jalan keluar dan memberi kelegaan, rasakan kasih Kristus mengalir dalam hidup saudara dan saya. Tidak ada yg mustahil, karena Allah kita mampu melakukan mujizat yg kreatif.


Tuhan Yesus memberkati kita semua.

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.
