Me: Let us focus on Christ during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: Yes, he cannot be forgotten<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze<\/strong> if but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do. It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several conclusions may fairly be drawn from all this. The simplicity of it, for instance. Since believing is looking, it can be done without special equipment or religious paraphernalia. God has seen to it that the one life-and-death essential can never be subject to the caprice of accident. Equipment can break down or get lost, water can leak away, records can by destroyed by fire, the minister can be delayed or the church burn down. All these are external to the soul and are subject to accident or mechanical failure: but looking is of the heart and can be done successfully by any man standing up or kneeling down or lying in his last agony a thousand miles from any church.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satan would like us to become frustrated because of some of the technical problems that are taking place. We think that we need this or that to look a certain way. The world may need that, but God’s people do not need that. God will be there and His will is accomplished with the spirit of the Lord. Some will complain, but the spirit did not touch them. Praise God and receive His peace about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MARK 1 : 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n
