標　　題：轉向神

經　　節：所以你要對以色列人說，萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們要轉向我，我就轉向你們。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。（撒迦利亞書一章3節）

神要讓我們成為什麼樣的人，取決於我們對祂的反應。如果我們遠離神，祂要我們回轉向祂。神應許，如果我們轉向祂，祂就馬上更新祂與我們的關係。雅各書四章8節告訴我們，如果我們親近神，祂就必親近我們。馬太福音七章7節保證，如果我們尋找基督，尋找就必尋見。基督徒的生活主要在於對神的回應，和我們想要完全經歷神的渴望。

為什麼有些基督徒似乎比其他人更深地與神同行？為什麼有些人的代禱力量，能夠改變國家的措施？為什麼神選擇去膏抹一些人所說的話，因此當他們說話、禱告或講道時，很明顯地他們的話語就被神膏抹成聖？這是因為這些人下定決心，執意要追求神，直到在生活中真實體驗祂大能的同在。他們決心不以偶有神的同在為滿足，神尊重他們的渴望。

你是否滿足於現在與神的關係？還是你渴望與祂創建更深的關係？與神相交，不要滿足於那種被罪所敗壞、沒有聖靈大能的關係。那曆世歷代的聖徒所擁有神大能的同在，正等著你去掘取！回轉向神吧！如果你回轉向神，會發現有許多寶藏等著你。祂等著你的回應。

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.
