Be Blessed In The LORD
God wants to give us more. More of Himself, more revelation, more understanding. He desires us and wants us to dwell richly with Him. Jesus Himself wants us to walk along side Him and do His will.
But getting to that deep point of fellowship isn’t as easy as pushing the easy button. Jesus told us that we must enter through the narrow gate that few enter (Matt 7:13). What we are seeking is to walk in intimate fellowship with Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5), the Lamb that was slain (Rev 5:12) and the one that is described in Revelation 19:11-16 as:
Eyes like flames of fire
Clothed in a robe dipped in blood
He is called the Word of God
Armies of Heaven follow Him
From His mouth comes a sharp sword
On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
He is high and mighty and holy and perfect. He is worthy of all our praise and worship. What does He want from us?
I believe that He wants us to dig deep through our hearts and minds and find the things that are holding us back from Him. In us there are the things we do not want to give up, big or small. And there are the things we don’t want to do or are afraid to do. Most of us will know what is keeping us from going to the next level in our faith if we examine ourselves and look for these things.
Its only a start to confront them and give these things up. Changing our hearts and minds about the things we are afraid to do or be and the things we don’t want to stop doing will draw us cexercise/>loser to The LORD.
I think part of the answer simply comes from Mica 6:8
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”
and 1 John 5:2-3
2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
So to simply answer your question above “what does He want from us?”
-Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly by keeping his commandments.
-Of course it is a matter of calling by God the Father that he work through his Holy Spirit to change our hearts and minds. With out that calling and the Holy Spirit working within us we might as well be stranded on a dessert island spiritually, or try to attain for ourselves forgiveness of sins solely through the law (impossible), “for none is good but God”.
Happy Sabbath
