Seeking The Face Of The LORD - Bliss & Fire Network Weekly Digest - January 20, 2015

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” –2 Chronicles 7:14

EXPLORATION

God in many times has revealed through His Word, the Holy Scripture—His ways, and how He is willing and ready to hear us has human beings when we seek His Face and call on HIM.

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” - Jeremiah 33:3

There are three major steps that the LORD expects from the people HE created to seek HIM and HE guarantees HE will respond. These are:

Step 1: Humble Yourself.  
Step 2: Pray And Seek My Face.
Step 3: Turn from Your Wicked Ways.

INSPIRATION

Step 1: Humble Yourself.  To respectfully accept your fault or wrong doing; not been proud or arrogant in your approach to repent of your wrong-doing.
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” - James 4:10 (Matthew 23:12, 1 Peter 5:6)

Step 2: Pray And Seek My Face.  The Lord wants you to talk to HIM—explain yourself respectfully.

“Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” - Jeremiah 29:12

God doesn’t want you to keep to yourself the wrong you have done but to rather see HIM has a Father, who is ready to forgive His children’s wrong-doing. Don’t let your evil ways keep you from Him like Adam did in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:9) And don’t go seeking  after other gods because of your wrong doing—but come unto GOD who His more than able to forgive you of all sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” - Romans 10:13 (Acts 2:21)

“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” - Isaiah 55:6

Step 3: Turn From Your Wicked Ways. This is the requirement or condition, if I may say. That you turn away from wickedness. “Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.” - Isaiah 55:7

GOD expects us His people, to be far away from wickedness—because wickedness is the way of the evil one, Satan who has turned away from righteous to unrighteousness. And if we want to be with GOD and walk with GOD then we need to forsake the evil ways of life.  

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” -Acts 3:19

Above all these things, the Lord guarantees that HE will hear and answer you. He will bless you and bless your increases—HE will heal the land that you may increase and prosper in all things as a nation. This also means that your repentance, praying and seeking the face of the Lord, and forsaking wicked ways in your life will likewise brings Blessings upon the nation and upon the people. “When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them.” - Psalm 91:15

This week: The LORD is asking you… “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” - Jeremiah 32:27. You can experience a great change by making the right decision that will change your Life, your Family, and your Generation for the very best. Just seek the Face of the LORD in Truth and in Faith—and that is the way to True Repentance, and the result of it, is the GREAT BLESSING of GOD through CHRIST JESUS.

“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” - Isaiah 45:22

Remember the Bible says: “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” - Luke 11:9 “But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” –Deuteronomy 4:29

You are blessed, we love you!
