KINGDOM HIDE AND SEEK

KINGDOM HIDE AND SEEK Sometimes you wonder where I am, because I am playing hide and seek with you. "He made darkness His secret hiding place; as His pavilion (His canopy) round about Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies." Psalm 18:11 (AMP) This is a kingdom desperation game, I play with My children. How desperate are you for My presence. How much do you really want Me. "And I will wait for the Lord, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for and hope in Him". Isaiah 8:17 (AMP) When you sing the song it does not impress Me, it's when you cancel everything to wait on Me. When you have done nothing wrong, don't feel condemned or that I am angry with you, when I withdraw My presence, I am wanting you to come after Me with all your heart. Believe Me when I say, I despise being taken for granted. "But you who forsake the Lord, who forget and ignore My holy Mount Zion... [13]  Behold, My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame. [14] Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry out for pain and sorrow of heart and shall wail and howl for anguish, vexation, and breaking of spirit. Isaiah 65:11,13-14 (AMP)  It thrills Me when you cancel appointments, just to sit at home with Me. You touch My heart, when you refuse to watch TV or the Internet because you want to seek Me with everything you have. "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." Mark 12:30 This is why I created you, to fellowship with Me. I did not create you, just for you to go away and do your own thing. So many people want My power, My peace, My wisdom, My health, and My provision, but they really don't want Me. Very few pastors really want Me for Me. They want Me for a great earth shaking message, to gain a name for themselves, some spend time with Me for a healing anointing, many when they are in financial trouble will cry, "I need you Lord,  I love you Lord", but they do not want Me, they want money. When the money comes, there's no more crying out for Me. Many leaders cry, they want revival but most only want people power, by having their church building filled with people. You have been taught that a large crowd is a sign of My blessing, remember there was a large crowd at My crucifixion, but only a few at My tomb. I couldn't even gather three, to pray with Me in the garden. "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me." Matthew 15:8  Truly I love it when you let My Spirit, communicate through you for hours at a time, and when you are willing to wake up at 2 AM, to wait on Me. I look forward to you waking each morning and your first words are, "good morning Father, I love you"! When you seek Me hard enough, I am happy to let you find Me. "I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me." Proverbs 8:17 (AMP) If you keep seeking to be with Me, I will see that everything you touch will be blessed and it will have My finger prints on it. You will never lack any good thing. Your life will silently minister everywhere you go. People will be drawn to you without resistance because you carry My presence. I will talk with you each day as friend with friend. When your time is done on earth, I will send an escort of angels to welcome you. "But he, full of the Holy Spirit and controlled by Him, gazed into heaven and saw the glory (the splendor and majesty) of God, and Jesus standing at God''s right hand; [56] And he said, Look! I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at God''s right hand!"  Acts 7:55-56 (AMP) I see how you seek Me just the same, wether you are going to minister or you are on vacation and I know you love Me. I have watched your obedience and now you are beginning to reap what you have sown. Your hunger for me will increase, the night season has come to an end and the joy of morning is here. Because you have sought first the kingdom, all things are being added unto you. "But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. [34] So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:33-34 (AMP) Now beloved, watch what I do today!
