THE LORD SAID, “SEEK MY FACE!”   

Part 2

In Psalm 27:8 (NKJV), the Psalmist David declared God's word, "When You said, 'Seek My face,'  My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

King Hezekiah chose to seek the LORD’s face when he was about to die.  The LORD healed him and added 15 years to his life (1King 20:1-7).  King David chose to seek the LORD’s face, and he became the King of Judah (2 Samuel 2:1-4).  His life had been filled with so much suspense, as well as challenges.  But in spite of those challenges and shortcomings, the most extraordinary fact is that Jesus Christ came into the Earth realm through the seed of David (Matthew 1:1-6).  Also significant, Jesus continually sought His Father God’s face in prayer (Matthew 26:39, Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16, 6:12).  The paramount benefit of Jesus’ sacrifice, as well as His prayers is the fact that eternal life was made available to us (John 17:1-26).  Praise the Lord!  That was just the beginning of the mighty move of God in the Earth realm through Jesus Christ our perfect example.  His disciples took up His mantle, learned to seek the LORD’s face, and turned the world upside down (Mark 16:15-20, Acts 17:1-34).  Today, we still have to believe God’s powerful word and step out in faith and do those things that the LORD called us to do.  When we seek the LORD’S face, our possibilities become limitless because He is our Heavenly Father and He is working through us with signs following.  “For with God nothing will be impossible (Luke 1:37).”  Seek the LORD Church, seek His face!!!

Would you like to be saved and develop a relationship with God as your Heavenly Father?  If you would really like to know God, invite His Son, Jesus Christ, into your heart.  Please pray this prayer:  Dear God, please forgive me of my sins.  I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is Your Son.  I believe that He died on the cross, shed His blood, and rose from the grave for my salvation.  I confess Jesus right now as my Savior and Lord.  God fill me with your Holy Spirit so that I can live a life that pleases You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!  If you prayed this prayer and meant it, based on Roman 10:9-10, you are saved.  Welcome into God’s Family
