We are walking in today:  What Does It Mean To Seek The Lord?

We have to really grasp the importance of the kingdom.  As we have been lead of the Holy Spirit on this line to end up at this time and season--a deeper understanding of the gospel of the kingdom which Yeshua, John and Paul all taught on.  Looking back we have to find out why different people of the Bible are noted above others.  Elisha, David, Daniel and Noah--what makes them stand out?  Their dedicated, focused search for Yahweh--His word and His presence in their lives and for their community.  This seeking of Him and constant prayer brought them into His presence which is also stated in scripture as before His face.  We must push back our carnal desires to truly seek His face with whole-hearted dedication!  How would that look?   Getting up early to seek Him in His word; constant conversation with Him to find the good and right way to go; setting yourself apart from the unholy things that they would not draw your heart way from Him.  This seek is more than a cursory glance, this is a seek that is a search, a plead, unrelenting pursuit of Him and not letting go until You bless me mindset!  Could it be similar to behavior of a stalker-- sit outside of their job, follow them home and keeping notes of daily activities--this is the level of pursuit which in being referred to here.  With Yahweh it is what He directs His people to do--Deuteronomy 6:4-9 4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.  So Fiveamprayer, is His word and Yahweh all that you talk about?  Would those around you find you still taking about Him? We have here in scripture to love Yahweh with all of our heart, soul and strength; teach with diligence to our children, talk about these commands in your house, when you walk, lie down and arise.  Sounds like the dedicated, focused thought on His instructions of His word. Which in His Torah we hear, His voice that directs and leads us.
Fiveamprayer we have to also find out if the omnipresent Yahweh is always in our presence?  Is is possible that we could turn away from Him that the closeness we are to have with Him could be diminished by our distancing from Him?  Could it be that disregard of His Torah would place space between Yahweh and us who find or allow this distance?  It is His supreme greatness that we are to seek continually.  Fiveamprayer, what is the setting of our hearts and minds?  What is the primary focus of our attention!  The Torah is pre-existing wisdom, this is what places us in harmony with His creation.  Seek Him, to be in the light of His presence.   To hear more of this awesome teaching click here.
