Have this deep sense His person is seeking our person; He desires to be personal. The elements of life both in the natural and the supernatural are pressing upon us. His person is seeking to navigate us in the press. The elements will overcome us, overthrow us, or grow us; the person we choose to be in the press will determine our outcome. Being personal with God and God with us navigates our success and grows us in the process. Two interactions bring our navigation into the personal with God – Prayer and His Word. Not prayer in the sense of petitioning, intercession, or supplication – prayer in the sense of walking and talking (there is a difference). Not His Word in the sense of planned and arranged academics – His Word in the sense of being an active living process of revelation and understanding squeezed out of our narratives in the process of living (this is Emmanuel).
2016 God is calling us to be personal with Him. This does not mean He has not called us to this in years past or years to come; I am simply saying what I hear in this moment; His person is seeking our person; we must be personal with God and in this we must be real, true, and accessible to Him. The active process of prayer and His Word will bring us into being who He has called us to be. As a result, our gifts and callings will take on fresh and new life, transforming life.
