Do you wonder how to seek God? God wants to have a personal relationship with you! The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:13 "You WILL seek me and find me WHEN you seek me with ALL your heart." But maybe you’ve wondered how to seek Him? Seeking God and drawing near to Him is the single most important thing we can do in our lives. In Episode 2 of my podcast I share some of the most practical ways that have helped me develop a close relationship with Jesus. The steps to take are simple, and the positive effect that drawing close to God has on our lives is tremendous. Number one is reading the Bible, I like to do this through daily devotionals as well as a Bible reading plan. And meditating on scripture verses, it’s so important to hide the Word of God in our hearts. Step two is spending time in prayer and building relational communication with God. Getting away from all distractions and getting into the prayer closet and just talking to Jesus like He’s your best friend, because He is. He wants an authentic relationship with us, not a performance. There’s really nothing that’s too small to pray for, the Bible says to pray without ceasing. God is always waiting to help us and answer the smallest prayers of ours, even if it’s just asking Him to help you find your lost wallet when you’re late and heading out the door.
Starting a prayer journal and writing down when God answered my prayers and how He answered, and that has really has blessed me because when I’m going through tough times and I need to be reminded of Gods faithfulness, I can look back at the track record of all the other times He came through for me and it reminds me that I can fully trust in Him. Step three is repentance, this is so important because our sin separates us from God and gives the devil a foothold to wreak havoc on our lives. Repentance is confessing our sins to The Lord, and making the decision to turn away from our sins. We also need to repent for our unknown sins, that we all fall into so easily but can often times go undetected. Such as pride, envy, jealousy, unforgiveness, and so on. Step four is to give God time to speak back to us, and to actually listen to what He is telling us. When you feel The Lord has told you something, ask Him to confirm it so you can know it was really Him who spoke that to you, as there are four different voices that can speak to us (our flesh, the world, the devil, and the Holy Spirit). What God speaks to you will NEVER go against what the Bible says. The thing is we have to know what the scriptures say in order to know what goes against the Word of God. This is one of the reasons it’s so important for us to read our Bibles.
And the final step for seeking after God with our whole hearts, is to set aside time to spend fasting and praying. I cannot express to you how powerful and effective fasting is, I’ve experienced God in the most amazing of ways when I’ve really put my whole being into seeking Him and spending time in prayer and fasting, eliminating all distractions, and just sitting at His feet. This year, let’s seek God like never before and draw so close to Him, and experience intimacy with Him like never before. I hope Episode 2 of my Podcast blessed you all, and I’ll see you next week as we dive into Psalms 39. God bless you ❤️
