15LHDVD4-8 - Nickie Pinson - A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS - Donation $6.00 - The Lord longs for an intimate relationship with each of us. Every morning we have to spend time with Him in prayer. That is when the Lord will speak to us. Write down what God gives to you, or you will forget. In 1 Samuel 14 we learn that Saul thought he had to do something instead of waiting on the Lord to speak to his heart. He had not developed his own close relationship with God. We must put down the rebellion and self-will in our hearts so God can restore and bless us. We must seek the will of God about everything in our life. It is so important to wait until we hear from the Holy Spirit and not depend on our own “common sense”. God is concerned with our hearts, not with outward appearances. He is looking for a people who have a heart after Him. David had a relationship with the Lord that Saul did not know anything about. Jesus is looking for His Bride, so do not allow any sin or idol to come between you and Him. It will grieve you deeply to hurt the One you love. Allow your spirit to rise up and connect with the Lord. Keep seeking God and in time He will come to you. Anticipate being with your Beloved forever. “As a deer panteth after the water brooks, so my soul longeth after Thee.”
