Praise our Everliving and Sovereign God,Who is the Father of our Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
We often go to fellowship with other brethren,but most of the time we find ourselves missing of the point. The main thing is meeting with our Lord. Others are distracted by the music,the leader of the meeting, how the preacher is dressed, even others just come to be seen and others never had anything else to do.
but the story in the Bible Luke 8: 43 - 48, the woman with the issue of blood, teaches us how to enter in God presence.
1. Be sure what you want
2. Do not follow the majority
3. Do be distracted
4. have the faith driven by desire
Many who were close to Jesus we touching him, but when this woman touched Him, He felt there was a difference and power went out of him. We need to be different in the way we seek our God Heb 11: 6 ... He rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Once we go into worship or prayer we must be different from the rest, and earnestly seek his face and he will touch, heal and restore us.
Blessings
