You can tell someone about God. You can share what He’s done in your life, and how you’ve been changed. But words are empty until the Holy Spirit reveals to that person the true nature and reality of the might and authority of God .

II Corinthians 10: 17-18 ” But, let him who boasts boast in the Lord. For, it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.”
The longevity of a ministry has little to do with administrative guidance, good funding, or broad appeal. If you look at the world-wide ministries that have endured for decades, you see humble men and women that don’t call attention to themselves, but rather continually point the way to the Cross as sinners saved by grace.
Psalm 90: 17 ” May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us – Yes, establish the work of our hands.”
When you have favor of God…His kindness, delight, and support in all situations, you will receive something else. Because God’s favor rests on you, you will also have favor before men. And there’s nothing more powerful than to find favor before God and man.
II Corinthians 6:16 ” For we are the Temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘ I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”
Life from whom all living things derive their viability and existence only comes from the Lord above. And as the Body of Believers, we not only receive life and breath from the Father, but we also are given the Holy Spirit to reside within us.
Psalm 88: 1-2 “O Lord, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before You. My prayer comes before You; turn Your ear to my cry.”
When our prayers rise to heaven, the Lord hears. When He hears, He answers. When He answers, He always acts on our behalf…according to His perfect Will.
Psalm 25: 12 ” Who is the man that fears the Lord?”
The Psalmist says we are to be obsessed by God. Not by the world…not by other people…not by anything other than the Lord. We are to be totally dependent and devoted to God and to God only. Like a tiny child’s awareness so absorbed in his mother, that even if she’s out of sight, his mind is ever set on her. And if a problem arises, he looks immediately to her for help.
II Chronicles 5:14 ” Then the Temple of the Lord was filled with a cloud, and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the Temple of God.”
The Levitical Priests were the Ministers of Worship in the Temple. When the empty Temple was filled with the presence of God, the glory cloud was so thick with His majesty, they couldn’t see. Oh, to have that kind of glory cloud descend into every Church…God’s presence filling every available space…His glory breaking forth in a magnificent display.
I Corinthians 2: 6-7 ” We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.”
The principles and judgment of this day and age are totally opposed to God’s wisdom. The absurdity and foolishness people look to as sage advice are laughable in the eyes of the Lord. True Godly wisdom is hidden naturally to mankind and unknown to human reasoning. It is only made known to the Believer by Godly revelation.
II Kings 4:2 ” Elisha replied to her, ‘How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?’ “
A desperate, grieving widow of a fellow prophet came to Elisha beseeching him to help her before the creditors took her two boys away to satisfy her debts. But instead of offering help, Elisha turned the question back on her. What do you have in your house…what do you have within yourself? The Lord has already placed within us everything we’ll ever need to be victorious over any situation. Elisha wanted the widow to realize the wealth and power she already possessed.
Malachi 3:10 ” ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.’ “
I challenge you to examine the integrity of God. Dare to consider His incorruptible virtues. For if you truly believe God is who He says He is…then test Him. “Give and it will be given to you. A good measure, presses down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ( Luke 6:38) Test Him, and you will find that you can not out give God.
