God Thinking LXXI - Catch The vision 4

"I have found that my closest moments with God are moments when I lay aside who I am for who He is in me.

God speaks to me through James when He says, “Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.”  James 4:8a
It is so true.  God wants us to draw close to Him, and when we are close, it’s easier to hear what God is saying and to see what God is doing.  It’s easier to catch the vision of what God is doing right now..

God isn’t impressed with religious rhetoric.
God isn’t moved by what you know.
God isn’t moved by what you have accumulated.
God isn’t fooled by your acting like something that you are not.
God isn’t forced by your much speaking.
God isn’t moved by your making claims that are not true.
God isn’t impressed by your ability.
God isn’t moved by lip service - you know, saying one thing and doing another.
God isn’t moved by your title, position, level of local or national recognition.

But:
God is moved when you believe God.
God is moved when you trust in His way.
God is moved when you give up something temporal for something eternal.
God is moved when you set aside your timeline to wait on the LORD.
God is moved when you receive His revelation.
God is moved when you talk about His Son with reverence and adoration.
God is moved when you live by faith.
God is moved when you worship Him.
God is moved when you praise Him.
God is moved when you bow the knee to Him.

Just as in the first two thousand years the sins of man were destroyed by the flood. In the second two thousand years the sin of religion was destroyed by the blood.

Jesus established a new covenant with His people, so that at the end next two thousand years....

When is the end of the next two thousand years from when
Christ was on earth?  Right Now. Are you prepared to do what you are called to do in this most important time? In this crucial time in mankind's history you should be fully involved in what God is doing."
