Seeking the Lord Wholeheartedly

Sep 15, 2024 • Pastor Sandy Garcia

We can see from scripture that anyone who sought the Lord wholeheartedly, they were heard by Him.

I Kings 17:1-16

Faith doesn't make sense. You cannot go by your natural senses. If you want to see the supernatural, you must trust the Lord. Faith in God says, "God is faithful".

2 Chronicles 16:9 God was seeking to prosper him but because his heart wasn't fully committed to the Lord, Asa received a troubling word from the Lord.

We must be the "them" who's heart is perfect. Perfect means loyal. God wants us seeking Him wholeheartedly. I John 5:21 warns about allowing anything in our lives that would take the place of God in our heart. We can't have a divided heart but serve the Lord with a full commitment, wholeheartedly.

Galatians 3:3 How did you start out in the Spirit and end up in the flesh? Asa started out wholehearted and the Lord caused him to prosper.

2 Chronicles 14:2-4

2 Chronicles 26:5 As long as Asa sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.

Matthew 6:33 Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then He will add all these other things to you.

2 Chronicles 14:11-15

2 Chronicles 15:1-4

John 15:1-7

2 Chronicles 16:2-3, 7-9

Asa failed because he went from hearkening and seeking the Lord to paying people to help him. There is a blessing in seeking God first.

To seek the Lord means to desire, to seek or pursue earnestly; His presence, His fellowship, His kingdom, and His holiness.

Seeking the Lord involves:

1) Turning to the Lord with your whole heart, holding nothing back from Him with no reservation
