TBS. God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, they were able to completely enjoy His divine presence.
Gods desire for your life is to have that same kind of relationship with Him, that's why Jesus came to this earth, to provide the reconciliation God wanted to re-establish with His people! Amen?
He wants you to not only to be able to walk in His presence, but also to able to experience His power in your life on a continual basis.
Moses speaks with God here and simply reminds God of His promises, "God You said this"....did you know that it's ok to remind God of His promises?
Why does Moses do this?
Well let me tell you, it's not like God forgot the promises He made.
Moses really wanted to know, because God had removed His presence from the Israelite camp!
There was no longer a sense of Gods presence within the nation of Israel, it had to be the saddest time in their history.
They had stopped seeking and depending on God like they once had and started seeking in themselves for the answers.
TBS. When you seek Me, you shall find Me
How many people do the same thing, their just going through the motions,
How many come into churchs all across the globe, week after week having no real relationship with God?
Well some might say, at least they are going to church, what's the big deal?
They are not seeking more of God, why would anyone want to have access to the light switch and not turn it on in their life, to light the way?
If we settle for what we have already experienced with God, that's not growing.
Last weeks blessing is not meant to have to last you forever! Gods mercies are continually new!
If you put water in a bucket and set it outside, if you don't stir it up occasionally, it becomes stagnant.
The truth is, a lot of Christians need to be stirred up, yesterday's blessing is just that, it's yesterday's,
we cannot just simply settle for a cup of water anymore, when we have access to the well, that will never run dry!
Wether your experiencing new blessings from God or not, one thing you can take to the bank, "He's Doing Them"
God is constantly doing new things, and He wants to take us to new Highs.
When Moses sought God, he did it through knee mail, not email! Amen?
One of the biggest problems in the church today is that people want all the benefits from an intimate relationship with God, but dont want to seek it out or take the time to develop it.
So and so are Christians and God blesses them all them time, I'm a Christian, my momma was a Christian, so I ought to have the same blessing that they have at least.
What they should wonder is, "what kind of relationship does one have to have to be blessed the way God blesses them?"
Mommas relationship, will never get it done and it's sad, now don't get me wrong, God will honor Mommas prayers...
but so many think that that alone should qualify them, for Gods blessing in their own life as well.
Sounds like the same entitlement mentality that exists in the world today!
If you want to be a friend of God, you need to be a friend to God and get to know Him, up close and personnel.
