Even in the church, thousands know Christ and perhaps have a personal relationship with Him but are not experiencing a daily, conscious sense of His presence. Who are not experiencing Him.

There is much that poses for spiritual ministry that is a shadow of what God intends. Tragically, we regularly hear of ministry leaders being exposed who have operated with selfish agendas, ulterior motives, and even horribly sinful habits. Satan loves to manipulate those who are not operating with God’s ways to try to discredit those who are.

The tool that God has given us to maintain intimacy with Him is prayer. Prayer is nothing less than the continual communication between two who love each other. If we know our need for Him (which is humility) and long for His direction and guidance, we will talk to Him about everything throughout the day.

There is a critical principle in spiritual life. It could be called the law of “Positive Spiritual Replacement.” When we walk away in repentance from our sin and worldliness, we must replace this with a corresponding turn to Christ and His truth. If our only action is to turn away and we do not begin to experience the joy and intimacy with Christ that we are designed for, we will find ourselves soon turning back to the “leeks and onions of Egypt.”

In Daniel, Chapter 9, we read one of the great prayers of the Bible. Similar to Jeremiah’s prayer in Jeremiah 1, Daniel pours out his soul for his nation. His prayer is a mighty prayer for us to pray, word-for-word, as we cry out for our nation.
But does God hear his humble, repentant prayer? The next chapter reveals the response of our prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God.

Here is the heart of the question: Do you believe in SPIRITUAL AWAKENING? That a sovereign God can move upon the dead with no help whatsoever from the dead and make them live?
If God finds you unbelieving, then your usefulness to Him and His purposes has just been capped. For everything on our side of spiritual equations operates by faith. "He could not do many miracles there because of their unbelief," the Bible sadly records regarding Nazareth (Matthew 13:58).

God is a perfect leader. He asks us to follow Him, and often the path makes no human sense to us. But God is always leading to an end ... to that which is redemptive. The question is: will we trust Him when we don't see the endgame?

Anger can be a terribly destructive emotion. Everyone has been on the blunt end of someone else's displeasure. And some of us have responded in anger more often than we've felt its effect from others.

"I don't know how much of God you have, but I know this: you have all you want," Adrian Rogers once said. One of the ways of God is to give the greatest measure of blessing and power to those who are hungry. Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5:6).

It's a dark cave. Spiritual depression affects almost everyone at times, and we often have no idea how to find a way back into the light. Without question, one of the significant passages in the Bible that helps us understand this issue is the story of one of God’s great prophets in 1 Kings 19.

It is one of the great treasures of life. Finding trustworthy relationships is more important than any earthly possession. But the great aim of our lives should not just be to find those friendships but to become the friend worthy of trust.
