ATTEND YOURSELF, IN ORDER TO START A CONVERSATION WITH YOU
I greet you in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and glory forever and ever. Amen.
You know that the devil, who is our enemy, does not always do things according to his own efforts, he is well aware that some things do not come out except by following the rules that God has already set.
And he uses those principles, to destroy us greatly, but we as sons of the kingdom, do not use them to destroy him.
For example, he realized that the consequences of his actions were far more serious than ever. Then he used a higher way than to humble himself, by going to HUMILITY before God,.
He humbled his pride to the lowest level, joined the holy angels of God, ascended into heaven, and walked before the presence of God, with all humility, hoping that by doing so, God would only have to look upon him, because God is the God of all creation.
And indeed later when God saw him walking around in front of his presence for a long time, he started a conversation with him, He asked him where the devil came from, he said to the world, in my circles, then the devil used that opportunity to talk, send and all his accusations. And at the end of the day he was given his need.
He came down and made Job as he could.
Job 1: 6 “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil ”.
What we need to know is, If the god of this world, knows the secret of the success of his destruction, it depends not only on his own strength, but also on his standing before God. How do you expect me and you not to be like that?
Satan surprises us so much, when we run away from God, he is so surprised when we walk away from God's presence, with meaningless excuses, we do not want to go to worship God even once a week we say we are tired, because on Monday we go to work so we have to sleep !! Brethren, if you rely on your own strength to lead this Life, just consider yourself to be the tail of your whole life. That's right ..
The devil tried and found it useless, and you try it, he knew I would not always decide for myself, in my own strength. I must have time to go and humble myself, again for a long time before God.
If we see vigilance as a problem, even once a month, let us forget God to start any conversation with us. If we do not practice prayer regularly, and seek the face of God even in times of fasting, let us know only too many things we will fail to accomplish in our lives.
What are the benefits of appearing before the Lord?
When we are in the presence of the Lord for a long time, God Himself will begin a conversation with us, asking us, what are you suffering, what do you need, what are you looking for? Just as He did to the devil… But when He looks at us we are not in His presence, We just go around the world, and the distractions of this Life all the time, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and He will go on with His affairs, leaving us to suffer alone.
The Bible says.
James 4: 8 "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you."
Brethren, let us practice, draw near to God every day, worship that comes from the spirit to be a part of our lives, and of course we will begin to see God speaking to our souls.
Remember when you start doing such things diligently, you will not hear a voice like a voice speaking to you, but in the spirit God will be speaking to your Life. And once you see all that you have been asking for, or longing for, it will happen in the past, God is accomplishing you in ways you never expected. That is how God speaks to people.
If we know this principle, the devil will hate us very much, because we will already know the secret of our success, just as it was his in this world.
If you are holy, start now to give God enough time, that is to present yourself before Him, do not excuse not to go to worship, do not excuse not to attend vigils with your fellows, do not excuse not to fast and pray, and study the Word daily. EXERCISE yourself as much as you can before God.
That is how God will start a conversation with you.
The Lord bless you.
If you are still out of Christ, remember that, we do not have long here on earth, the Rapture is at any time, according to the fulfillment of all the signs foretold in the scriptures, and if that is not enough know that the door of grace is already closed, if you do not believe the gospel, today, tomorrow it will be more difficult, and one day you will not believe it at all. Because grace does not last forever, the scriptures say so !.
So repent of your sins in the sense of today, turn to Christ, the gospel we are left with now is not to be flattered, it is you who sees the reality, turn to your creator.
