Going Deeper With God

This is the third in a 3 part series on overcoming truths!

We have focused on:

1.  Speaking LIFE over ourselves.  The power of life and death is in the tongue.  Proverbs 18:21
2.  Creating a 'instafilter' over the messages that we allow into our lives.  Philippians 4:8

Are we going to believe the news that we received or the message that we believed?

The news was out when Jesus died, but the message to believe all along was that He would rise on the third day and he did conquering sin and death.

Going deeper with God means we are tired of manufacturing our own ways to satisfy the deepest needs of our heart.  Essentially that is what sin is. It is anything that I do apart from him to try to fill the hunger that only He can satisfy in my soul.



1.  Pray in the Spirit.  1 Corinthians 14:13-15; Romans 8:26; Ephesians 6:18

It is words and utterances that go beyond my comprehension leading me to a place of my deepest heart cry.  It comes out as a spontaneous overflow of the heart.  It isn't forced but it is beautiful.

2.  Aggressive Worship

We are bombarded with messages from the media everyday and we need to attack that mindset aggressively with our own focus a message of worship.

I'll never forget watching a young man at the Fire Conference as he danced with passion and it was a triumphant movement acting out the words of the song.  It reminded me of how we need His presence to penetrate our very being.  Matthew 22:37 calls us to love the LORD our God with ALL our heart, soul, strength and mind!

3.  Read the Father's love letter!

Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!

The Father's Love Letter

Essentially it is also about diet and the messages that we feed ourselves.  I cannot deny the life giving presence of the Word of God as I make it part of my routine.  I can also see my weakness and see how much more vulnerable I am without it.

4. Listen to His Voice!

Psalm 46:10  Be still and know that I AM God.

Take time to be still, find the quiet in your busy schedule and allow His Spirit to penetrate your thoughts.  Ask Him,  what is it that you want me to know today?  I also pray like Samuel, 'speak LORD for your servant is listening.'  and then I write down in my journal what I sense His Spirit speaking to my spirit.

5.  Press ON.

We must forget what is behind and press on to what is ahead.

Philippians 3:13,14

1 Corinthians 1:10  He will keep you strong to the end!
