This guest post from Wade Taylor is a call to turn and bask in the presence of the Lord.
“If He fills Heaven and earth, then He presently fills the area we occupy now. No matter where we are, the Lord is there. But we were created for more than this. We need the manifestation of His presence—His approbation and favor resting upon us, the Son-shine, the warmth of His glory shining upon us, to change us so in its reflection Jesus will be seen by others. The fact of His …

Intimacy with God is a journey that you can walk daily. Never stop seeking God.
“If we do not cease seeking and knocking, we will discover unfolding degrees of intimacy with God. Even now, He is drawing near. The Lord promises, “Everyone who…seeks finds.”
Unfolding degrees of intimacy — stop and think about that for a minute. It makes me want to seek the Lord even more so that I can walk in greater degrees of intimacy than I’ve experienced before. Now is a good time to begin that closer walk with God. A lot …

It’s sad, but true, that many Christians go through life without really knowing God, yet God longs to be known. He wants to be involved in every aspect of your life.
The spiritual realm is just as real as the physical realm but many people are unaware of that because their spiritual senses are dull from lack of use.
There is a spiritual kingdom all around you waiting for you to recognise it.
Belief in the invisible lies at the heart of your Christian walk. To have faith is to be sure of …

The Lord is calling you to stop living for yourself, surrender to Him and walk in His ways. He wants you to seek out the Ancient Paths and fellowship with the King Of Glory.
Walking and Talking with Jesus is part of your heritage and it’s a mark of true friendship with the Lord. Be blessed and encouraged by Catherine Brown’s recent vision with Jesus. He told her her that “surrender, sacrifice and selflessness” are the keys to releasing the light of His glory.
The Lord is speaking loud and clear about …

What are you regretting?
 ”When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.” Alexander Graham Bell
As you look back over the year, I’m sure there are things that you regret.  Even though you probably remember many blessings and high points and are thankful for what the Lord has done, there will be things you regret that are spoiling your now and spilling over into your future.  

Broken resolutions
Bad habits still in place
Flashes of anger
Letters …

God’s nearness is your good. God IS the reason for anything good in your life.
As 2010 approaches allow me to challenge you to draw near to God. His promise to you is that when you draw near to Him, he will draw near to you.
Francis Frangipane: The Nearness of Our God
In the 73rd Psalm, the psalmist Asaph expressed a struggle we all might feel at times. He questioned why the wicked seem to prosper while the righteous are chastened. The whole idea was troublesome until he entered the sanctuary of …

As Hanukkah Begins An Important Prophecy!
Dear Overcomers:
Prophecy is so important. Without prophecy we perish. I know that so many of us are going through tremendous trials. However, we are receiving incredible breakthrough reports from many. Here is a prophetic word to encourage you:
“Stay connected this week! Stay connected this week! There is something that you are going to have to praise your way through. Stay connected this week! Stay connected this week! Do not disconnect from Me. Do not disconnect from My Throne Room. Do not disconnect from where you …

The Lord has made it abundantly clear that He wants me to re-order my priorities. I have become very busy with doing many good things, God is saying, “Put your relationship with Me first!” So, I am laying aside many of the things that have kept me busy and going back to giving the Lord first place in my life. I hope that you’ll join me.
God doesn’t want you to do more for Him, He wants you to spend more time with Him.
