God Comes Where He's Wanted


Listen Later

You have as much of God as you want.

At the heart of this message lies a profound invitation: God comes where He's wanted, and we have as much of Him as we desire. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:13, we're reminded that God promises to be found by those who search for Him with their whole heart.

This isn't about earning God's favor through religious performance—it's about understanding that our Father has flung the door of heaven wide open, sparing no expense through Christ. Like the father in the parable of the prodigal son who runs to meet his returning child, God is not rationing Himself or standing at a distance.

He's an inexhaustible resource, unlimited and eager to reveal Himself to hungry hearts. The tragedy of modern Christianity isn't that God withholds Himself, but that we've learned to function without Him—content with salvation without the ongoing, transformative presence that should mark our daily lives.

We see this pattern in David's 'one thing' declaration in Psalm 27 and Paul's pressing forward in Philippians 3. These weren't passive believers waiting for God to show up; they were actively seeking, violently apprehending what Christ had already made available.

The call here is clear: establish a secret place of prayer, ask God for more hunger, create space by removing noisy distractions, connect to the body of believers, and obey what He's already told us to do.

When we cultivate this kind of desperation—this holy dissatisfaction with spiritual complacency—we position ourselves to encounter the God who rewards those who diligently seek Him.
