Last week, we started the series on the above
topic which is crucial to enjoying our walk
with God. It was mentioned that knowing God
begins with the revelation of God through His
Son, Jesus Christ. Knowing God goes beyond
scratching the surface of His word but digging
deep into the realm of rhema. It entails having
an in-depth knowledge of God's word and
meditating on it, until there is revelation;
opening of the eyes of our understanding and
allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal the mystery
of His word. May we receive understanding as
we continue today.
Anyone that will know God must have the
experiential knowledge of God. I mean like
Moses, he or she must have 'the mountain top
experience'. “Then Moses went up into the
mountain, and a cloud covered the
mountain. Now the glory of the Lord rested
on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six
days…” (Exodus 24:15-16). The mountain
top is a place of prayer and life-transforming
experience with God. It is a place where God
is disposed to reveal Himself to us, where our
longing and craving is for God. In a nutshell, it
is a place of unspeakable experience with
God! There are some preconditions for
having this experience. The first is right
disposition. The state or condition of your
heart determines what you receive from God.
King David asked a question which he later
answered in Psalms 24:3-4, “Who may
ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who
may stand in His holy place? He who has
clean hands and a pure heart…” Friend,
what is the disposition of your heart whenever
you are in God's presence? God will reveal
Himself to only those who are connected with
Him in the Spirit! Don't allow your heart to be
distracted when meditating on God's word or
praying to Him. The second precondition for
having the mountain top experience is your
motive, desire and will. What is the desire and
request in your heart as you approach God? Is
your longing for God? The third is staying in a
solitary and secluded environment. This is an
environment that is free from noise, dazzling
sights and other forms of distractions. God
reveals Himself to His children who seek Him
in quietness. Prophet Elijah had that
experience when God spoke to him in a still
small voice
Beloved, do you really know God? If you are
not sure, you need to come to your Creator
now! Give your life to Jesus Christ today and
know the unstoppable God! Happy New
Month! PEACE.
