Wait, Pt.3 from G. Craig Lewis

Wait, Pt. 3

2Tim. 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having
itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall
be turned unto fables.

Many Christians today are seeking the wrong things. We have to see the
things of God, the results of God, or feel something from God in order to
trust in him. We want our
season/destiny/breakthrough/promise/blessing/vision/reward/ immediately,
rather than daily trusting God and being lead to our destiny by him. Many
of us are wanting things from God immediately, that only a relationship
with him can bring. I'm telling you, many of these mega-conferences and
gimmicky ministers are causing the message of the Kingdom to be distorted.
We must not pimp God!!! God is more than a breakthrough or a financial
miracle God is more than an occasion to prosper or an emotional fix! God is
a father! He wants to father his people. We can read too many books, watch
too many "do it this way" videos, attend too many conferences, and get
over-churched to the point to where we only trust in the results and
effects of God and not the daily relational walk with him. I'm telling you
Saints of God, the enemy is behind this distortion of the Gospel. He wants
to bring God to you in the form of things so that you will not seek his
face.

The children of Israel would get tired of waiting on God, so they would
just make their own God! They wanted what they could have immediately! They
would give up on the process and try to make swift progress! Sounds
familiar? That's where many of us are today! We want a microwave
relationship with God and we want to get what we feel we deserve! Funny how
when we were first saved, we just wanted to be cleansed and our past
erased. But listening to the mega-rich messages has made many of us
spiritual pimps! We now want to use God to break us through, or bless us,
and not even talk to him on a daily basis! We don't want a father, we want
a whore! "Please me Lord, gimme my destiny, my season, my inheritance,
etc", without knowing his voice, knowing his feelings, turning from sin, or
even reading his Word? We don't want to obey him, but we want him to obey
us! Stop seeking things from God and seek HIM and things will be added!
That's the formula Jesus gave. Stop waking up each day, trying to build
your life on some man's formula for success to get things. God gave you the
master plan in his Word. You don't need to be purpose driven, you need to
be love driven. You don't need a method to find your destiny, all you need
is a visitation by the Holy Ghost Stop seeking what you can see and trust
God daily. He will surely lead you to the Kingdom and add the things that
he has purposed for you when it's time.
