How Do You Connect With God?نموونە

You connect best with God through reformation. One of the ways you connect with God is by partnering with Him to make the crooked ways straight. He has given you a burden for the same things that are on His heart. Your daily encounters are filled with prayer and petition for God’s restorative justice to be released on the Earth, and your daily encounters continue when you put your prayers into action. As a reformer, you feel closest to God when you know what is on His heart. You find pleasure in pleasing Him. Your prayer is, “On earth as it is in Heaven!” You encounter God powerfully in bringing reformation because it originated in God’s heart, and you get the honor of partnering with Him. Reformation is a byproduct of knowing God & having your heart turned toward Him. You bring reformation through your daily encounters because, in these moments, the Lord is also reforming you.

Suggested Activities:

• Search your heart to find what burden God has placed within you, and ask Him what He wants you to do.
• Learn as much as you can about what God has given you a passion for, and then share it with people in your life. You can inspire change in a big way by educating people on something they would never know about otherwise.
• Take prayer walks in the city you live in - government properties, colleges, etc.
• Petition Heaven in prayer by asking God how you should pray.
• Evangelize! You are reforming the Earth by sharing your faith.
• Reflect and ask the Holy Spirit, “What is inside of me that needs reformation?”

Encouragement:

You go against the grain of culture as a reformer. Remind yourself to walk in the fear of the Lord rather than the fear of man. Many who connect with God through reformation don’t fit in the world. God has created you for such a time as this. Keep leaning into His heart. As a son or daughter, remember your Father does the heavy lifting in reforming the Earth. You get to partner with the ultimate Reformer, Jesus, in bringing heavenly justice and making the crooked ways straight. Lean into intimacy with God before going out in action. Partner your passion with God’s timing and His heavenly strategy.

In addition to the Scripture references attached to this day, the entire books of Nehemiah and Esther are references, as well.
