In John chapter 15 Jesus said, “If you maintain a living communion with me and my words are at home in you, I command you to ask, at once, something for yourself, whatever your heart desires, and it will become yours. In this my Father is glorified, namely, that you are bearing much fruit. So …
What is it about us that would cause God to go to such extreme measures on our behalf? His plan for us from the beginning was to enjoy unending companionship together. And He refuses to be denied the pleasure of seeing His plan come to pass. When He sees us, He sees all we can …
Notice how Jesus reveals the Father’s desire for His people in the following two parables: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven …
God has always desired a relationship with His people. In fact, He created a beautiful Garden that contained everything mankind would ever need or want throughout their lives. But after Adam disobeyed God, he hid from the presence of God in the Garden. In spite of everything Adam had done, the beautiful sound of the …
As we look to the original purpose that God had for man, we will see a beautiful picture of harmony and tranquility, of people in fellowship with God.

It’s because carnal compromises have corrupted God’s ways on the earth. Do we really want God’s presence to rule in our lives, or have we replaced the …
In Romans 6:9, Paul clearly sets this goal for Christians: Sin and the flesh are not to rule over us. Paul doesn’t leave us to try and figure out how to attain this goal. He gives us the answer in Romans chapter 8: “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors — not to the flesh, to live …
There is a depth of spiritual power that God desires for us. But we are the only one who can determine how much of that depth will be attained. Notice the desperation in the words of the psalmist: “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My …
“Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, till He comes and rains righteousness on you” (Hosea 10:12).
