Get to know Jesus! His Power and Glory (TV Audio #522)
Manage episode 461257515 series 3503269
I want to challenge everyone from the youngest to the oldest, get to know Jesus. So many people have heard about Him, but few really know who He is. Believer, do you REALLY know Him?
Prayer is essential to our Christian lives. I learnt to pray as a boy. I learnt to be specific in my praying. You must target a goal and achieve it. I saw the absolute necessity to back everything we do in prayer, but having prayed, you must do something! Prayer and action go together!”
From my boyhood, soon after I became a Christian, I have had the same vision in my heart that David in the Bible had. The testimony recorded of David in the Bible is that he was a ‘man after God’s own heart’ – he had the same heart God has! (1 Samuel 16.7; Acts 13.22.) David is the ONLY man in the Bible of whom God says, ‘He is a man after My own heart.’ And this was David’s vision, his heart, these are his words in Psalm 63.1-2, ‘O God, You are my God, early will I seek You, my soul thirsts for You, longs for You, in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water – TO SEE YOUR POWER AND YOUR GLORY – as I have seen You in the sanctuary!’ (KJV.) David in the Old Testament had seen the Power of God in the sanctuary – but he wanted to see it openly, here, on earth!
“All through my early days, before I became a pastor, an evangelist, all the time I was growing up, when I was in school, when I was in church, this was the most important verse in my whole life! I said what David in the Bible said, ‘O God, You are my God, I will seek for You from the early part of my life, I will search You out, O God, wherever You are, in Heaven, on earth, I will search for You, O God! I want to know who You are, I want to find You!’ – I spent my youth searching for God, not because I was not a Christian, since I became a Christian when I was 8 years old. But when I became a Christian, I didn’t want to be a ‘normal’ Christian – I was searching for the truth, the reality, the Power and Glory of God! I wanted to find the God of the Bible, the God of Heaven, I wanted to KNOW Him! All my life I have searched for God’s Power and His Glory! It was the dream of David the shepherd boy to see the Glory of God here, on earth! It’s my dream too!”
