In An Audience of ONE

In an Audience of ONE


Our Pastor was teaching on Asa, Seeker of God, and the message really stirred something  my heart. We are in a place in this world where we need to have such a deep relationship with the LORD that our love and obedience to Him is so natural that we automatically serve, seek and obey Him fully...holding nothing back and fearing nothing that man can do to us. Having Faith in the 'unseen' that overcomes anything 'seen' in the world around us.  Holding to the Kingdom order,  not the worldly order.  The worldly order is spiraling out of control.  The little g.. of this world is deceiving and making hearts fail left and right.  But the Kingdom is shinning brighter and brighter, if we will just step into it...fully, holding nothing back and fearing nothing we will have peace in our land.   As we look at Asa, remember those before him and those after him, it is always the same story, if you "seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you"  Matt. 6:33   Learn to Seek Him in an Audience of ONE.......

2 Chronicles 14 begins a story about Asa, a great grandson of King David.  v2 "Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God. v3 for he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places and brake down the images and cut down the groves".  He was undoing the pagan and idolatrous worship of his grandfather, Rehoboam-he had abandoned the law of the LORD (ch. 12).  

v4-6  Asa built up around him an army of people who were seekers of God. Asa, a man who does the right thing even when no one is looking.....in an Audience of ONE.

Asa's great grandfather, Solomon, was a great man of God but he gave in to the lust of his flesh.  His grandfather, Rehoboam, Ch. 12 "he had strengthened himself, but he forsook the law of the LORD and all Israel with him.  v14 "and he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD."  He openly did not seek the LORD and all was not well with him or his people.  Unfortunately, hearts fail the LORD but we do know that God can restore and mend any broken area of our life.  There is room at the foot of the cross for broken and empty vessels.   

Asa came back to the LORD and he brought the people with him.   He had many victories in battle, peace was in the land!!

What did Asa learn;
   1.  Good holy men overcome by their lust-refuse God- come to RUIN.
   2.  Men who do not seek God end up with NO PEACE.
   3.  The secret to God's favor- constant and consistent Prayer Life! That is the pathway to God's power and peace in your life and in your land.  Seek God..Matt.6:33 but learn to do it even when no one is looking.

 It starts with an audience of one, "the one" knows your heart.  He knows your meditations.  There is no place to hide.  As a seeker of God, you allow "the one" to occupy every space !!!     

Dear LORD,
I pray that you speak to your people today.  Turn them to you with a fire and passion to know you more.  Make them "seekers of God".   Build their faith and fill them with the power of your spirit.      Pour it out on them LORD!!  
Allow my heart to seek you fully, holding nothing back.  Cleanse and heal all the areas of my life, even the secret and hidden ones that only you know.  Let my heart seek you day and night.  Please allow your light to shine through me to those around me and stir in them a desire to know you more and be a "seeker of God" in and Audience of ONE..... 

In Jesus Name,
Amen
