“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). There are two kinds of soil — fallow and plowed or cultivated. Fallow ground is uncultivated, unused, idle, and dormant. It could have been plowed …
As we enter into God’s presence in worship and shut out the distractions of our minds, we step into the Holy of Holies. It is the sanctuary of the Lord, and we enter in spirit to the place of nearness to God. In Ezekiel 44:15-16 we find priests who were faithful to minister unto God …
Why do some people have such great experiences with God? Much can be traced back to their time of prayer and communion with Him. This does not mean that the effectiveness of prayer can be measured by the clock. But we must see the link between a deep knowledge of God and our time alone …
For many, the vast majority of their time with God is in a public setting — either in church, Bible study, or prayer meetings. However, we need as much substance beneath the surface of our lives as we have above the surface. Deep roots create stability and confidence in times when winds buffet us. There …
We can never come to know God deeply with shallow conversation. Intimacy with Him requires development and cultivation. The deepest working of the Holy Spirit comes during the time spent alone in His presence.

Proverbs 3:6 says: “In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths” (AMPC). As we seek to know the Lord, we will find the direction we need. The Living Bible says it this way: “In everything you do, put God first, and He will …
I have friends whom I have come to know well. I like them, but I know that if I ever wanted them to be at my house at 7 p.m., they would be late. My lack of faith in their being on time is based on my knowledge of them. It appears they don’t know …
It is not the Lord’s desire for His people to live under the fear and pressure of financial and economic crisis. The fear of what the future holds has caused many to experience fatalistic depression instead of joy. The fear of failing health, the dread of divorce, or the mental torment of dreams crumbling can …
The knowledge of God, who He is and what pleases Him, is the longing of every true believer. Throughout the Word of God, it is the person who truly knows God that captivates us and inspires us to new levels of truth. The obedience of Moses, the boldness of Elijah, the heartbeat of David, and …
