The thing that establishes God’s will in your life and convinces you that what you are about to do is real, is right for you, is meeting God one on one, face to face. What Paul found in meeting God on the road to Damascus changed his whole life. What Moses found in meeting God at a burning bush made him another person and a leader of God‘s people. What Joshua found in meeting the Lord settled Him and convinced Him that he could lead God’s people into the Promised Land and conquer every foe. Other servants were willing to die for what they found in meeting God face to face. That one encounter made them fearless, moved all doubts, gave them all the faith and confidence they need to do God’s will. Because of their encounter, meeting God, they never look to themselves anymore. God was their all in all. They never considered their own weaknesses, the conditions of their own bodies because they found that through submitting to the will of God, God made Himself responsible for all of their needs. Beloved, when you fall on your face before God; when you surrender your all to Him to seek His face and will for your life, He comes and releases into you His presence, His life. His Spirit, His all. Study the lives of the servants of God; they all had an encounter with Him. He made Himself real to them. Let Him know that you are ready to do His will…that you will obey Him and give your all.
