“that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory ..”
(Eph. 3:16)

Everything we have and are comes as a result of God’s grace and favor. He is the Source of all spiritual strength and revelation-knowledge.

The question is: what is the measure He uses with us? Just how much spiritual strengthening is available to you and me? Is it according to our faith? Our works? How much we know? Does it come as a result of hours of praying and fasting?

What is the basis of His revelation-knowledge? What is the secret of receiving from God? How can we truly come into an experiential knowledge of His amazing love?

It is awesome to realize that the measure God uses is according to His riches! His resources are glorious and unlimited and all He gives us comes from the Rich Treasury of His Glory.

Prayer is the key to these resources and faith opens the door.

We often think we need more money, more possessions, more friends, more opportunities. The truth is that we need to know more of God – and we will find that we have everything we need in Christ.

All we have to do is ask.

Excerpt from His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Many times we know things in our head, but they don’t really touch our lives until the reality of that knowledge drops eighteen inches into our hearts.

It’s the same with God’s love. God wants us to have more than just a mental concept of His character and nature. As Christians, of course we appreciate His love in some measure. We sing about it. We talk about it. Sometimes we thank Him for it. But how often, when testing comes, do we lose sight of His love?

Often we tend to forget that He is the Source of our joy, the Source of our provision, the Source of all that occurs in our lives and we panic. “Pray for me,” we beg others, unsure that He will answer our own prayers.

Revelation-knowledge of His powerfully sincere love comes from the Father Himself and Paul prays that every Christian might come to that inner knowledge. We should pray that too, for every Christian and ourselves.

A few minutes ago I received an SMS message from a believer who has walked at a distance with the Lord for many years. He granted her revelation-knowledge and she wrote: “I love JESUS. My concepts of Christianity were totally ape. Only now do I really understand.”

That’s what it’s all about.

Hear it from Micah 6:8: “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly,To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?” — Micah 6:8 (NKJV)

Jesus put it another way:  “Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ — Matt. 22:37-39

Bottom Life:  LIVE RIGHT – LOVE PEOPLE – LOVE GOD.

As in most – if not all – things in life, there are no short cuts or Magic Bullets that will miraculously take you to a successful conclusion of whatever you are busy with.

A lot of people promise you quick returns for hardly any effort (especially in internet marketing). Don’t believe them. You get what you pay for!

In the Christian life, it is exactly the same. There are no instant secrets to becoming mature in the faith. The “Super Spirituals” SOUND great, but the fruit on the Tree of their Lives is what counts. Integrity, faithfulness, self-control and all the Fruits of the Spirit together with the powerful Gifts of the Spirit makes for Spirit-filled living. How do you get to that place? An old Sunday School song puts it concisely:

Read Your Bible
Pray Every Day
And You will grow.. grow.. grow..

Talking to the Lord on a daily basis and having Him talk to you through His Word is the only “secret” you need. There are no Magic Bullets.

That’s true for writing books too – and (far harder!) selling them!

I will be introducing my Internet Mentorship Programme soon which will help a lot. Email me if you are interested and I will keep you informed.

No Magic Bullets

Success takes hard work, knowledge applied, and perseverance.
