To Know God Brings Victory

There are many blessings and attributes of God that have not

been dealt with in this book, but as we go on in our walk with the

Lord, we will continue to have these and other facets of His nature

revealed to us. God’s desire is that we get to know Him more

and more intimately. We now only have a glimpse of His mercy,

compassion, virtue, faith, justice and truth. We see through a

glass, darkly (1 Corinthians 13:12) as we view His love, patience,

meekness, longsuffering, humility, stability, kindness, holiness,

and zeal. God’s awesomeness is revealed as we discover His

vastness, greatness, wisdom, power and severity (this severity

being directed toward sin and those that continue in it).

God is a just God and hates sin, but loves the sinner. God is

love, and we are grateful for that love. He has so many blessings

for those that love Him. He wants us to have them all and will

gladly give them to us as we are able to handle them. He longs for

mature sons with whom He can share His heart, secrets, revelations

and desires. For this to occur, we must first have His nature,

love, joy, peace and victory. He does not want us to be continually

beset by sin, failure and sickness. He wants us to be free to go

and share with a lost and dying world the “good news” about

Jesus.

It is my prayer that we would all come to know Him in a

deeper way. We now have only a glimmer of what God really

looks like, but I pray that our conception of Him will continually

come into sharper focus as we see more and more of His true

nature. If this divine revelation truly settles in our hearts, there is

nothing the devil can do to keep us from going forth victoriously,

bringing light and life to others who want to know “what God

looks like.”

Let us offer this prayer to the Lord: “Father, we come in

Jesus’ name, thanking You for Your love toward us as mortals.

Give us a revelation of Your true nature and character so that we

might be able to trust You and follow You at all costs. Let us take

this revelation and share it with those that do not know You as a

loving God. Lord, let us never blame You for the sin and evil in

the world, but rather let us look to our own hearts and allow You

to cleanse us of those things that offend You. May we daily walk

in more knowledge of You and Your ways. Lord, now I want to

pray for my brothers and sisters in You. If they need healing, I ask

that You touch them with Your miracle power. You are the mighty

God who desires to do good to us, Your children. Bless them and

make them whole in spirit, soul and body. In Your name, I pray,

Amen.”
