Intimacy with God
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly, I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Daniel received a vision that troubled him greatly. He wanted an understanding of this vision, so he set out to understand the vision by fasting for three weeks. Three days after his three weeks of fasting, a messenger of God appeared to Daniel. The messenger explained that Heaven had heard his prayer from the very first day, but the angel was temporarily prevented from coming by the prince of Persia, a demon angel, who sought to hinder and stop God's messenger from coming to Daniel.
There are times in our lives when we must set ourselves to seek God with all our hearts. It is during these times that we hear from Heaven in ways we may never have experienced before. Daniel's perseverance in prayer was rewarded with a personal encounter with Heaven. However, in order to receive from God, Daniel had to be left alone, his strength removed, and be placed in a helpless condition. When we have no ability in our own strength to move Heaven or the events around us, we are in a position to hear from Heaven. It is the acknowledgement of our humanity and our frailness that places us in a position to have a personal encounter with the living God.
Paul the Apostle was a learned man, yet he understood the secret that it was God's ability in him that did what was being done through him. No wonder he did not complain of the difficulties and persecutions that he often had to undergo but used these very things as fuel to ignite his passion for God.
Do you need a personal encounter with God today? Do you need God to intervene on your behalf?
Seek Him with all your heart. Demonstrate to Him that you are serious. Don't let the pressures of this life steer you away from God but let them make you cling more dearly to Him. Be with God alone and acknowledge your helpless condition before Him. He will reward you with His mighty presence. Your tears will be the seed for your miracles.
Prayer
Father, I want to have an encounter with You. I want to have a fresh vision of You that I may be changed forever. My help is in Your Name. Cause me not to steer away from You due to the pressures of life but let me cling to You more dearly, in Jesus' Name. Amen
