God loves you and he wants relationship with you

Relationship that is real and meaningful

Jeremiah 29:13-14 says

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord ….."

Approaching God

The Temple/Tabernacle was the meeting place with God. Ultimately we go there to meet with Him, to bring life’s issues, and to hear his voice. However we must decide to go in.

In this season of Pressing on towards what lies ahead we see how to approach God

Intercession- Praying with the heart of God for others

God loves you and wants relationship with you

Prayer is the primary method of relationship with God

Prayer is a journey with God

We need to understand that we need God for everything

God loves you and wants relationship with you.

The goal of prayer is relationship with God -

In prayer we want to find His presence and hear His heart for the issues that are around us.

Seeking God has a destination - and so should our prayer.

As we continue our journey, What things act to hinder us from reaching our destination?

Today we look at 4 areas...

Deception

Distraction

Sin

Faith

Seeking God has a destination - and so should our prayer.

Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV)

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

As we continue with our series, we hear about prayer and the stages of the tabernacle...

He knows the end from the beginning

He is All Knowing

All Powerful

Everywhere present

Nothing is hidden from him,

He has written our names on the palms of his hands

This God, wants relationship with you!

As we continue with our series, we hear more about how we can reach forward to the things that lie ahead.

God’s purpose is to have close relationship with man

God wants relationship with us

In our new series - "Pressing on towards what lies ahead" we hear about reaching forward to the things that lie ahead and seeking for Spiritual renewal and growth in our lives.

Paul in the scriptures in Philippians 3:13 NKJV says...

"…. one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, "

Let us press on towards what lies ahead!!

As we look forward to 2021,

In this message we are encouraged to be increasingly focused on God,

by staying close,

being faithful in prayer and

reading the word of God.

Christmas!!

Light Up Your World!

Heaven's gif to us and heaven's ask of us...
