Embracing Joy In His PresenceShembull

Seek Him First

I AM BEFORE ALL THINGS, and in Me all things hold together. I have always been and will always be. All things were created by Me: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. I am Lord over creation, over the church, over everything! Worship Me as your vibrant Lord, the living God. I want My loved ones to thirst for Me—as the deer pants for streams of water.

Do not be satisfied with only thinking about Me or knowing Me intellectually. Thirst for experiential knowledge of Me, grounded in sound biblical truth. Seek to know My Love that far surpasses mere knowledge. You will need the help of My Spirit to accomplish this.

You must be strengthened with mighty Power by the Holy Spirit, who indwells your innermost being and personality. Invite Him to empower and guide you in this amorous adventure. But remember that I am the goal of your searching—make Me central in your quest. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart!
