Do you know the Father?

“That I may know him …” Philippians 3:10a (KJV)

I read the story of the young man that recited the 23rd Psalm and after he was through reciting it, everyone was clapping. Then an older man also recited that same 23rd Psalm and by the time he was through reciting it to the same audience, everyone was crying. What was the difference? The older man said, the young man knows the Psalm but I know the shepherd.

Therefore today, don’t just know about prayer, know the one that you are praying to. He is your Father. There was a time I went to see a lady that was sick, I just wanted to pray a simple prayer and leave, but as I began to pray to the Father, the power of God charged up that place and a Word of knowledge came and she was just crying having received her healing from the Lord.

That is the way your life is suppose to be. When you know the Father, He becomes so real to you and you will begin to carry His presence with you everywhere you go in your life. Having a relationship with the Father and knowing that He loves you and He is willing to give you whatever you ask according to His Word will cause your faith to be energized as you pray. Because you know according to 1 John 5:14-15, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”             

Prayer
Dear Father I pray that you fill me with the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the accurate knowledge of you in Jesus Name. Amen.
