God wants to give us more. More of Himself, more revelation, more understanding. He desires us and wants us to dwell richly with Him. Jesus Himself wants us to walk along side Him and do His will.

But getting to that deep point of fellowship isn’t as easy as pushing the easy button. Jesus told us that we must enter through the narrow gate that few enter (Matt 7:13). What we are seeking is to walk in intimate fellowship with Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5), the Lamb that was slain (Rev 5:12) and the one that is described in Revelation 19:11-16 as:

Eyes like flames of fire
Clothed in a robe dipped in blood
He is called the Word of God
Armies of Heaven follow Him
From His mouth comes a sharp sword
On His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.


He is high and mighty and holy and perfect. He is worthy of all our praise and worship. What does He want from us?

I believe that He wants us to dig deep through our hearts and minds and find the things that are holding us back from Him. In us there are the things we do not want to give up, big or small. And there are the things we don’t want to do or are afraid to do. Most of us will know what is keeping us from going to the next level in our faith if we examine ourselves and look for these things.

Its only a start to confront them and give these things up. Changing our hearts and minds about the things we are afraid to do or be and the things we don’t want to stop doing will draw us closer to The LORD.
