If your heart is clean and your motives are Christ-centered, you will go deeper with God. Expect to be more conscious of His presence. Increasingly, day after day, you will desire God above everything else this world has to offer.
God’s fountain of life lies in the depths of God. To find it, you must search deeper and deeper, for His depths are as deep as God is. You will never arrive; you can always go still deeper with God. But, the deeper you go, the better the water will be.
Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). Why, then, are so many Christians so totally lifeless? Why are joy and peace so elusive? Let me answer these questions using an analogy found in nature.
The day you stand with nothing in your hand, relying not on your own abilities or resources, the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily. Things that once seemed impossible will become easy for you. Doubts and fears will flee.
Samson’s first and most critical training experience took place in a vineyard. Samson was alone when a young lion came roaring toward him. And, to make matters worse, Samson was unarmed.
Every day we’re training for competition. Every day we’re engaging in battle with the enemy. To meet this “serious challenge”, we need divine strength and power.
God can’t take your anger away instantly because it’s tied to other things. Its roots go down deep and you must uncover those roots and deal with them first.
As you go deeper with God, you will experience more and more of His supernatural power. You will be able to overcome character flaws and bad habits. You will be able to change the way you think and behave. When hardships come, you will have the power to suffer with greater victory and peace. And your life will impart comfort, hope and courage to others.
