Pressing on into His Presence

August 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment

If we were going on a job interview we would dress appropriately, or if we had an audience with the Queen of England it would be mandatory, as a woman, to include a hat and white gloves in my attire. However unlike other appointments with people, we don’t prepare our appearance to approach God but rather we prepare our hearts. For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). We don’t wear certain attire but rather we clothe our hearts with certain attitudes. As we approach the throne we clothe our hearts in an attitude of:

1. Gratitude
2. Humility
3. Holiness in reverent fear

We draw near to praise Him clothed in gratitude with thanksgiving. We draw near to fellowship and grow in His presence clothed with a contrite and humble heart. We draw near to worship Him clothed in holiness.

If it is your heart’s desire to Press on into His Presence, chapter nine in my book “Developing a Secret History with God” will inspire and encourage you.

The above  sketch of the High Priest is such a window to my soul of the attitude garments we must wear as we approach the Throne of Grace.

Why do we struggle ?

August 21, 2012 by Leave a Comment

I think we would all agree that this one area, of faithfully spending time alone with God, is the area we struggle with as believers more than any other aspect of our Christian walk. In all other aspects of our walk we have others who can hold us accountable, but this is one area where we have to hold ourselves accountable. This is the part of our spiritual history that is hidden from the view of others, known only to the Lord and ourselves. The enemy is always at hand to offer justifiable excuses to muffle our conscience, be- cause he knows the spiritual power in the life of a believer who spends time in the Father’s presence. We are engaged in spiritual warfare as we endeavor to set aside this precious time to press on in. Having been there many times myself I cried out in desperation: “Teach me, Lord, to draw near that I may truly worship you! Why do I struggle with drawing near to be alone with You, when I know it is a privilege, and that privilege had an awesome price?”

“Developing a Secret History with God”

August 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This is not a book about dead religiosity BUT rather about a vibrant growing deep relationship with God.

This is not a book about deep knowledge BUT rather about a deep living faith.

This is not a book about doing BUT rather a book about becoming.

This book will reveal to the reader that God is not some mysterious entity out there somewhere BUT rather a personal loving heavenly Father who is as close as their own hearts who wants to fellowship with them as He did in the garden of Eden.

This book will strip away layer by layer of the inherent mystery the enemy has made of God’s children hearing His voice. 

This book will guide and take you on a journey into His presence. 

This book will inspire and encourage:

  1.  Those who are facing trials or sinking into hopelessness and despair:
  2. Those struggling with setting time aside each day to spend alone with God:
  3. Those who are “burned out” with busyness even good busyness:
  4. Those who have never considered they could hear God’s voice from within:
  5. Those desiring a more intimate relationship with God:
  6. Those seeking help to start this exciting journey with God:
