Checking into God's Presence... Is your altar of praise down for some reasons? What of your altar of worship? And how is your altar of righteousness and forgiveness? How would you describe your altar of love? Would you believe that the value of those altars can determine the sort of relationship you have with God? John 15:4 says- "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." It then follows that those altars exist, to have meaningful returns from our relationship with God. If we refused to make an effort to remain in the Lord for any reason, no one could ever bear good fruits. And as representatives of Christ, it is essential to bear good fruits. So don't wait for God to take away the things which keep you from Him. No matter what is happening in your life, take the time to pray, praise, worship, forgive, trust, obey and love as Christ commanded. Malachi 3:1-5 declares-"Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the Lord of hosts." "For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess." Deuteronomy 30:16. On this Lord’s Day, I declare these blessings upon each and everyone, and when we call on Him, He will answer us. When we seek the Lord, we shall always find Him in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen Http://testimony-times.blogspot.co.uk Just Checking into His Presence…
