"Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."~Jeremiah29:12-13(Amplified)

"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."~Jeremiah29:12-13(NIV)


Have you ever lost something and could not rest until you found it? Well put yourself in the position of never having had something, but desiring above all else to obtain it. For instance say you never felt love, and you wanted to obtain love. Or say you never felt abundant joy, and you desired to obtain that joy. At what lengths would you go to obtain those things that you desire? We have to ask ourself just what are we willing to do to have a thriving relationship with the Lord! It is going to take some seeking. I mean some searching, but it is oh so worth it!

I love that the scripture says you will call and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Isn't it amazing to know that the words that we speak to the Father are not in vain. He hears every word. He sees every tear. But oh it does not stop there, the scripture tells us that we will seek for Him and find Him when we seek with our whole heart! Our whole heart, my friend. That means we can't just think we are going to give a half hearted effort and be in the presence of God! It is going to cost you something. It is going to take a sacrifice! It is going to take an act of obedience! It is going to take all of you, my friend.

If you are at a place where you need more love, more hope, more joy, more peace, more of an abundant life it is time to seek God more! It is time to really lay aside your pride and your preconceived notions of how you will hear from God. It is time to allow God to reveal Himself to you. This can only happen when you earnestly and diligently seek Him. You can have more love! You can have more joy! You can have more peace! You can have an abundant life! Do you know how? By seeking God above all else! In order to have more of these attributes you have to have more of God!

Don't allow another day, another minute, another second to go by without you dwelling in the presence of the Most high! It is time to not just know who God is! It is time to have a relationship with the King of Kings! It is time to know without a shadow of a doubt that when you pray that God hears your prayers! It is time to know, that you know, that you know, that when you seek for God that you shall find Him! It is time, my friend! Seek God above all else and you shall find Him! He is waiting! What have you been searching for?

Have You Reached A Spiritual Plateau?

When we are working out we can hit a plateau! When we keep doing the same thing with the same resistance, we can get to a place where we no longer get results. In the beginning, when we work out we loose weight and we see results. If we keep the same routine, we can hit a plateau and we no longer see results! We may not be gaining weight but we are not seeing any results. Has anybody hit a plateau?

In our spiritual walk we can also hit a plateau. (A spiritual plateau) In the beginning you where on fire for God. The glory of God was all over you. You were hearing from God and you spent quality time in His presence. You reaped great benefits from spending that quality time like peace, joy, and soundness of mind. But you got to a place that I like to call a spiritual plateau and you no longer reap the full benefits of walking with God!

In order to begin to loose weight a person has to switch their routine up. You have to add intensity, or resistance, or work out for a longer period of time. To get out of your spiritual plateau one must seek God more! Give to God more sacrificially! When the word sacrifice is used many automatically assume financial sacrifice. Know that God is ready to reveal Himself to those who eagerly sacrifice their time, praise, worship, lifestyle, gifts, talents, and money! 

If reading 30 minutes a day of your word use to meet your spiritual needs, you may have to read 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. If just coming to church without serving on a ministry use to be okay in your spiritual walk, you will have to pray and seek God and get your hips active in a ministry! If you are on a ministry but you are stagnant, then I submit to you, that you need to seek God more. Seek God like never before! Ask God to reveal Himself to you in every area of your life! Change and increase your desire to seek God and watch how God takes you out of your spiritual plateau! "He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."~Hebrew11:6
