14 To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. ~ Revelation 3:14-16
Jesus wants and even expects us to always be panting for more because it is those who hunger and thirst that are filled. In the Church today, we expect to live our lives however we want, and God will overlook it all. We don’t seek Him. We don’t spend time with Him. We place God at the bottom of our to-do list, all while we are professing our love for Him. When we do this, we are the church in Laodicea.
They were living as fools as they’re men and women who only confessed God with their mouths, but their hearts were far from them. In their heart, they said there was no God. God came to down to us, died for our sins, called us by name, and is now waiting for us to come home to Him. Yet, we only say we love Him; we don’t act like we do. We’re no longer hungry for God. We’re no longer thirsty for His Spirit. And because we no longer desire God, we no longer have the relationship the past churches had with Him.
The only miracle we hear about in our world today are the miracles read from the Bible. James wrote in the fourth chapter of his book that if we draw near to God, then God will draw near to us. That’s the kind of people God uses. Those who seek Him. Those who desire Him. Those who want more. If you want to see miracles, prayers answered, and God move in your life, then you have to desire Him. You have to seek Him. You have to draw near to Him.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Hunger For God.
