Greetings Saints!

I hope this message finds you well and illuminating in the light and love of our dear Savior, Jesus.
Blessings to you from on high!

This morning, my wife was dropping me off at the airport and she prayed. Within her prayer, she said the word, “Reward,” and saints, that encouraged me so much.

That said, I pray this blesses you immensely as it has for me.

—
Imagine, GOD. Huge. Sovereign. Omnipresent. ALL powerful.
No one can force His hand. No one can MAKE Him do anything.

He sets His own rules. He’s unreachable unless He makes Himself known or available.

Jesus put it this way:

John 6:44 KJV
NO ONE can come to Me, EXCEPT the Father which hath sent Me DRAW HIM:
and I will raise Him up at the last day.

Interesting right? We can’t even COME to Jesus unless the Father draws us!

The word ‘draw’ means to draw by inward power, lead, or to impel.

It’s amazing because when He draws us, it’s intentional. He WANTS us to come.
HIS inner intent is felt within us.

So when you sense the Lord drawing you, the feeling is mutual.
Why would He call whom he doesn’t want to respond?

The inward pull we feel to draw near is FROM God Himself. The bible says that deep calls unto deep.
In other words, the depth of God is sending a signal to your inner depths to respond.

Now, within that compulsion, that pull to draw near, something’s being communicated.
We can either respond or ignore.

Spiritual energy is language. It’s not just ‘force.’

It carries life, substance, and intent.

So what is God SAYING when He’s pulling us in?

Check this out:

Hebrews 11:6 KJV
[6] But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

There are 3 major points here:
* Without faith it’s impossible to please God
* For he that COMETH must believe He IS
* He’s a REWARDER to those who DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM

Now, we’ve already established that we cannot “COME” to Him unless HE draws us right?

So! When that inward drawing from Him begins to ramp up and we are authorized to come to the Father, whether it be for salvation or Him generally calling us closer, He’s saying,

“Have faith, keep seeking Me diligently. I am a REWARDER.”

I like how the scripture puts it, we MUST believe that He is and He’s a Rewarder to those who diligently seek Him.

A “Rewarder” is one who pays wages.

Not everything in the Kingdom of God are gifts, there are also rewards.

Simply put, it pays to diligently seek Him.

It pays to BELIEVE that He IS. That He IS above every circumstance and contradiction in your life.

His essence alone eradicates disappointing conclusions. Who He IS always trumps impossibilities and makes all things possible. He makes all things GOOD! Glory to God! He IS good and His mercy endures forever.

He rewards you with the big PAYOFF. The payoff that lasts. The payoff that He prepared for you before the foundation of the world is nigh. Don’t give up! Don’t quit! The REWARDER is nigh. He loves you so much.

Galatians 6:9 KJV
[9] And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

“BELIEVE I’m a REWARDER,” says the LORD. You MUST believe! Your due season is nigh. He loves you too much to feed you unripened, bitter fruit. Selah.

Again, God said, we MUST believe He’s a Rewarder to those who diligently seek Him.

Otherwise, if we don’t believe, hope fades because we feel “used” versus loved and considered.

I’ve personally felt this way and these roaring feelings tend to stagnate and stifle versus inwardly draw me close to Him. It is the antithesis to the inward draw that resounds in Him toward us.

We can’t allow those feelings to take precedence and detain us from moving forward and drawing nigh to Him. He loves us. Ohhhhh, how He loves us!

Hebrews‬ ‭6:10-12‬ ‭TPT‬‬
10 “For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can he forget the beautiful work you have done for him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve his beloved ones for the glory of his name.
11 But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled.
12 So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance.”
‭‭
Remember, remember, and remember this: the reward is in diligently seeking the REWARDER, not the reward(s) itself. May your quest be Yahweh bound alone. May the THINGS of this world not distract you from the One whom with Jesus, freely gives us all things. (Romans 8:32)

It is far greater to be RewardER driven versus reward driven.

In HIM are all things and worth all your while. The process is preparation for the EXCEEDING blessing(s).

You’re not too late. Stay the course. This light affliction can’t compare to the glory He’s revealing in you.

God IS good.

Love you, Saints!
