Expecting people to commit to something they do not see the value of is a hard sell. If people did not see the value of the IPhone, the IPad, the MacBook, they would not have paid the price they paid to have it. If people do not see the value of the presence of God, the power of God, the name of God, they will not pay the price to protect it. When we don’t reveal the value of the precious, people will settle for the vile.

If people don’t value healing it may not be because they do not believe in healing, but because they have not seen healing happen. If people don’t value the presence of God, it may be because they have not ever experienced His presence. If people don’t value the sanctity of marriage, it is possible they have never seen what a healthy covenant keeping marriage looks like.

When value is not just spoken but visible, tangible, experienceable, it changes what people are willing to pay to pursue it. When a man sees the value in a woman, he will pursue her, it is in his nature to do so. When a woman sees the value of the child she gives birth to, it is natural for her to do whatever it takes to protect that which she deems valuable. We are people who know how to value what we see as valuable.

I see the presence, power and glory of God being made valuable again. I see the name of Jesus Christ being restored to a place of value in people’s lives. I see the word of God being heard as valuable truth again. I see a sight and sound experience emerging around us in various places, revealing the value of Yahweh as God.

As His value is seen, heard and felt, we will find Matthew 13:45-46 happening, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” He is the pearl of great price and when people see His value they will hotly pursue Him again.
