Priority 

My children, will you go deeper to hear the depths of my heart? 

As a friend, I long to share the things that are most dear to me, but I ask who there is who will come to listen? 

And when you hear, will you steward what I share well?

For this heart-to-heart sharing, you need to shut out the cacophony of voices around you. You say you are busy but you are not too busy to feast on entertainment and social media! Be honest and make me a priority for I will share the deep things of my heart with those who pursue my depths. What friend shouts deeply personal things to another friend? No, they don’t and neither do I. 

If you want to truly know me you need to be still and withdraw from other voices. Then you will hear the deepest confidences of my heart. Those who do will carry anointing, authority, and power to be effective in the world. 

So come to me to hear.

I am done with a powerless people who rely on their good ideas to represent me in the world. I want to co-labour with you to show the world who I am: the God with every solution and strategy the world needs. So come.

Activation: Allow these words to stir your heart. What do you spend time on that could be better spent with God? How could you shut out the noise of the world to meet with God – turning off your phone, going to a different space, what else? Tell God you want to know Him heart to heart. What do you hear Him say?

Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Acts 4:13 (NIV)

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

2 Cor 5:20 (NLT)

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
