"description":"Beginning in Isaiah 1:10, Wilkerson teaches on drawing close to God while there is sin in your life. How even though you offer your sacrifices of praise and worship there has to be a cleanliness of heart before you approach the throne of the Living God. Too many people come to church with their mind elsewhere and are only going through the motions. We must be honest and keep our focus on the Lord when we come into his house. Wait on him, love him. God wants to take the burden out of those who are coming before him. He doesn't want us going through the motions of coming to church heavy with burdens we are trying to deal with ourselves.",
"description":"We believe that these messages truly flesh out what is meant by the phrase, 'We walk by faith, not by sight.' Because 'faith' is so easily misunderstood this is a much needed truth.",

"description":"The Bible doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t teach us to delay repentance but only speak of one thing, \"today is the day of salvation. Today when you hear His voice don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t harden your heart\" (Hebrews 3:15). So our Bridegroom has gone to prepare a place. He doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know the day His Father will tell Him to fetch His bride. Will He find you ready when His Father tells Him to fetch His bride? The Bible says He will come as a thief in the night. You do not know when a thief will come and so you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know when He would come. You must be prepared at all times.",
"description":"Pastor Cymbala looks at King Asa's life and the consequences of not seeking God. You will be encouraged with the the scripture from the book of Hebrews showing that God rewards those who seek Him. 2 Chron. 14:1-7, 16:10-12, Heb 11:6 (NIV)",
"description":"\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Every one that seeketh findeth.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Now, Jesus said that. And of course, He has reference to finding Him, finding God. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ye shall seek for Me, and ye shall find Me, in the day when ye shall seek for Me with your whole heart.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Finding God: why, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the very object of our salvation\u00e2\u20ac\u201dto be reconciled to God. Salvation consists in knowing God. How many, many people miss it! How very, very few people in the world know God! You can tell it when you travel through the world and meet with works and ministers. The great complaint is like it was by the prophet Jeremiah: the priests knew not the Lord. How differently they would act and live and minister if they knew the Lord! How different our conventions would turn out if those in charge knew the Lord! But why don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t we know Him? Jesus says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Every one that seeketh findeth.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Findeth what? Why, findeth God. Are we seeking God? Are we really seeking God? Then we shall find Him. God says we shall find Him. The very principle of faith is to start out with that knowledge: why, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153God is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d When you seek for something that you want very badly, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not going to give up until you find that thing.",
"description":"Brother Zac Poonen shares about seeking God and how many things can hinder finding fellowship with the Lord. He shares on the sabbath rest and how God prescribed a rest so that God could be put first. In the same way in the New Covenant we are to give our first to the Lord amidst the distractions and allures of this world. One chief underlying factor of not seeking the Lord is greed for money and covetousness of which the children of Israel fell into time and time again instead of seeking the Lord first.",
"description":"The Only thing that matters is Jesus Himself and He wants to be the most important thing in our lives. Ps 73:25 says \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhom have I in heaven, but you and I desire nothing on earth but you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He needs to be our everything because He is everything.",
"description":"We need to be willing to forsake all for the sake of Christ. Yes it is not easy, but in His word it says that the JOY of the Lord is our strength. We have to stop comparing our lives with someone else, and compare our lives to the One who lived the most perfect example for us.",
