1Ch 28:9  And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

2Ch 15:2  And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

IF we want GOD in our lives we MUST SEEK GOD!!
Jas 4:8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Jas 4:9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

Spiritual Growth comes from feeding on GOD's Word regularly, steadily, consistently.

1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1Pe 1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pe 1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1Pe 1:24  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1Pe 1:25  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1Pe 2:1  Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1Pe 2:2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

An army moves forward on its belly. WE move forward on our knees.

Don't get caught on the rat race treadmill...

Php 4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I want to encourage you to make a schedule for your LIFE. When do you need to get up so you can pray, study and start the day right. MAKE TIME in the schedule to pray.. .if you are a night person, ALLOCATE most of the time to pray in the evening, but START the day in prayer.

When you get up and make it to work...

What do you do for lunchtime?
Evening, make sure you have set study time, meditation time BEFORE you go to bed.
Write down the things you need to pray about. Personal and congregation needs etc... but we MUST BE PRAYING EVERY SINGLE DAY... and that we may be accounted worthy to escape what is coming to befall the USA... and to STAND before the Son of Man...

Schedule THIS MOST IMPORTANT times so other activities do NOT crowd out prayer time. You want to be fairly insulated and alone and without distractions.

Matt 6 THE MODEL PRAYER base and foundation so we can pray within those parameters.

NEED to be meditating on the HIGHER Values in our lives...
What are our values on relationships, marriage, children...? Must live by, operate within those parameters.  PURSUE the 7 laws of success and excellence in ALL THINGS YOU DO, a to z... Gardening to job, speaking to physical work...

Sing JOYFULLY before GOD

Eph 5:19  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Eph 5:21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

WE need to be full of GOD"s WORD  to stay away from the troubles this world is facing. We can then be firm in our convictions and the strength to go through whatever we must go through. WE NEED a REGIMEN of growth.

King David... I arise before the dawn of the morning... awake night watches to meditate on your word.

LET US MAKE sure we are practicing all 7 laws of success, particularly the 7th.
