Come And Talk To Me

How will you feel if your son sends people to you every time on his behalf to get an advice, money or help? No parent will be happy if his child can’t come to him freely and make requests or seek for advice.  When there is communication gap, a close relationship will not be in view. Interestingly, like any other father, God desires to have a perfect relationship with His children. He says, “come and talk to Me yourself”.

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken – Isaiah 1:18-20 (NKJV)

Many people want their pastors or someone they think is religious to talk to God on their behalf. Some would rather read all manner of books or materials, or even go to different places to get answers to bugging questions or challenges, than to go to God. Yet, God is reaching out to them saying, “come and talk to me!”

What is stopping you from going to God in prayer with those issues? He who made ears can hear and He who made mouth can talk. The Lord wants you to come and reason with Him. If it is sin, He says you should come all the same, that the sin aspect will be taken care of. If you say no time is available, I will say that if you can make out time to eat, then you can make out time to talk to your Father.

You are the one who will ultimately benefit most. You get to reason with the only wise God, the creator of the whole universe, the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the unchangeable changer, the all-knowing God, the Prince of peace, the great physician, the everlasting Father and the I AM THAT I AM. God has the solution to that issue. If only you will humble yourself and ask Him, the problem will be solved.

Is it wrong to ask someone to pray for you? No, not all but it is not the best now that Christ has come, died and risen again, and is seated at the right hand of God. However, if it is an agreement prayer which is very powerful, it is good because, if two of you agree on earth as touching anything that you will ask, it will be done for you by God who is in heaven – Matthew 18:19.
