“And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)
MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES MOTIVATES ME TO PRAY AND TO SEEK THE FACE OF THE LORD.
I find myself being drawn toward reading the last several prophetic discourses of Jesus found in Matthew 24 and in Luke 21 on a regular basis. The graphic descriptions of the times in which we live are found in these texts of the Gospels and are motivators for me to pray and seek GOD with passion and intent. How about you???
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO PRAY AND SEEK GOD?
With our American bent on extreme selfishness and self-centered living, most of us seem to need some kind of personal inconvenience or trouble to get motivated to pray and seek GOD. Does this sound familiar? Yes…we could say the circumstances and personal troubles can jump start our prayer life, but I believe a higher motivation should be the Word of GOD.
For more than 30 years now, my daily practice has been to spend time in God’s Word reading from both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Over the last few years, the prophetic portions of Scripture have tugged on my heart like never before in my life. I believe this is truly Spirit-led. The Holy Spirit wants us to be ignited and drawn into the season and hour in which prophetic Scriptures are leaping off the page and crying out like a trumpet blast to tell us…now is the time!!!
SO FRIENDS…READ THE PROPHETS!!! READ THE WORDS OF THE GREATEST PROPHET OF ALL TIMES…JESUS OF NAZARETH…MAY YOU BECOME MOTIVATED TO PRAY AND SEEK HIS FACE MORE THAN EVER!!!
