标 题：转向神
经 节：所以你要对以色列人说，万军之耶和华如此说：你们要转向我，我就转向你们。这是万军之耶和华说的。（撒迦利亚书一章3节）
神要让我们成为什么样的人，取决于我们对祂的反应。如果我们远离神，祂要我们回转向祂。神应许，如果我们转向祂，祂就马上更新祂与我们的关系。雅各书四章8节告诉我们，如果我们亲近神，祂就必亲近我们。马太福音七章7节保证，如果我们寻找基督，寻找就必寻见。基督徒的生活主要在于对神的回应，和我们想要完全经历神的渴望。
为什么有些基督徒似乎比其他人更深地与神同行？为什么有些人的代祷力量，能够改变国家的措施？为什么神选择去膏抹一些人所说的话，因此当他们说话、祷告或讲道时，很明显地他们的话语就被神膏抹成圣？这是因为这些人下定决心，执意要追求神，直到在生活中真实体验祂大能的同在。他们决心不以偶有神的同在为满足，神尊重他们的渴望。
你是否满足于现在与神的关系？还是你渴望与祂创建更深的关系？与神相交，不要满足于那种被罪所败坏、没有圣灵大能的关系。那历世历代的圣徒所拥有神大能的同在，正等着你去掘取！回转向神吧！如果你回转向神，会发现有许多宝藏等着你。祂等着你的回应。
Return to God
Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to
Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,”
Zechariah 1:3 (NKJV)
God places much of the burden of what we will
become on our response to Him. If we have drifted from God, His call is to
return to Him. God promises that if we will return, He will immediately renew
His relationship with us. James 4:8 promises that if we draw near to God, He
will draw near to us. Matthew 7:7 guarantees that if we seek Christ, we will
find Him. Much of the Christian life rests upon our response and our desire to
experience God to the fullest.
Why is it that some Christians seem to go so much
deeper in their walk with God than others? Why have some had such powerful
intercessory prayer ministries that have changed the courses of nations? Why
has God chosen to anoint the words of some so that, when they speak or pray or
preach, it is obvious that their words are consecrated by God? It is because
these individuals have committed themselves to pursue God until His presence is
powerfully real in their lives. They have decided to settle for nothing less
than a vibrant relationship with God, and He has honored their desire.
Have you become complacent with your relationship
with God, or are you hungering for more? Don’t become satisfied with a
relationship with God that is broken by sin and void of the power of the Holy
Spirit. You have just as much of God’s powerful presence available to you as
the greatest saint in Christian history! Return to God. There is so much more
in store for you if you will return to Him. He awaits your response.
