see....and seek

“Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet;
Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins.

Yet they seek Me daily,
 And delight to know My ways, As a nation that did righteousness, And did not forsake the ordinance of their God.
They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; They take delight in approaching God.
 
‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You have not seen?

Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?’“ In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure,
And exploit all your laborers. Indeed you fast for strife and debateAnd to strike with the fist of wickedness. You will not fast as you do this day, To make your voice heard on highIs it a fast that I have chosen,
A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, And an acceptable day to the Lord?
Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:1-6)
Fasting.....Praying....Reviving!

I believe God is right here in the middle of the Covid-19 epidemic, the injustices, the demonstrations, all the recent activities across our world. He is allowing it all for us to see....and seek! But see what....seek whom or what?

If all we see is sickness, immorality, death and continued injustice, and simply seek cures, than we are blind and lost! It begins with us Church! We must see God in the middle of this culture and seek His Face....His will....His heart! The world must see Jesus!

In addition to demonstrating, boycotting, singing and shouting, we have to fast and pray as never before. God is laying out the groundwork for a world wide revival, if we have the heart and guts to see and seek God over everything else.

Only God can truly remove the stain of sin! It
