Seek ye first…

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

Most of us can quote this scripture, we’ve heard it time and time again. We know it in our head, but do we know it with our heart. What I mean by this is that I knew this scripture, and I was doing things for God, praying, fasting, ministering, going to school, etc. but it seemed like it started to become routine, and I felt like things weren’t moving in my life. It was very difficult because I love God and I desire to grow in God, but it was like I hit a wall. Just when I was in a place of frustration and confusion because of this, God came with a word…

I was in class, and a sister came in and taught on prayer, and she spoke on this scripture, and said. She had gotten a revelation, that it wasn’t just about being about God business in your activities, but in your prayer time you should be praying for the Kingdom first. She talked about how she use to pray for herself, and people she knew, but didn’t seriously sit down and ask God what He wanted her to pray concerning His Kingdom, she said once she started doing that, doors opened for her, she said blessings started rolling in, she said revelation started coming, God took her to a new level. When I heard this I knew this was the key for my life. I knew that is what I needed to break down the wall I had hit. I was like her, I prayed often, but not specifically seeking God for what was on His heart concerning the Kingdom. So that night I came home and I sought God, and the power that came through that prayer was nothing like I have ever experienced. I continued to do this, and let’s just say those walls came tumbling down! Since getting this revelation, and acting on it, I have grown in spirit, grown in faith, and grown in my closeness with God. The anointing, the power, and the gifts He’s placed inside of me have grown tremendously, He has taken me off of the world system, and now I reside in the Kingdom. He has given me the desires of my heart. I am able to do full time ministry and He brought my husband into my life, and I got married (that’s a testimony in itself). All of this started when I sought after God’s heart. When I tuned my heartbeat in with His, and when I put everything else aside, and put His Kingdom first. I encourage any of you out there that have not operated in prayer like this to start including it in your prayer time, watch those walls break down, and watch the move of God! God bless!
