Chapter 8: Understanding God’s Word

Page 7

Note the prayer of thanksgiving that Daniel presented to God after he received the answer he was seeking. Note the characteristics of God that

Daniel enumerates. Then, understand in your heart that God has not changed. If you will interact with God today, He will interact with you.

Yes, God manifests Himself today in undeniable ways. God is not

some abstract [fire insurance] concept like a lot of Christians believe. To really believe in God means accepting the reality of the God that Daniel knew. Indeed, I assert to you in no qualifying terms, that I know the God that Daniel knew. I am free in my heart to ask of God just like Daniel asked.

And as Daniel received answers, I too receive answers. Is this the God that you know? If not, you need to dig deeper within your heart to find God.

When You Understand God, You’ll Get Answers!

If you cannot operate on this level of intimate prayer and dialogue with God, you do not understand God. In fact, it is very doubtful that you have even found God. His doctor told my dear friend, Dean, that he didn’t have a physical heart ailment. Instead, what Dean really needed was to get

on a quest to find God Almighty. I can tell you that Dean found God and that you too can find Him if you just try hard enough. The bottom line is that God is not very hard to find. He simply requires that your whole heart be involved with your search. So, stop holding back with God Almighty and

you will then find that He won’t hold back with you.

It’s Your Whole Heart!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the

Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:11-13

If You Involve Your Whole Heart, You’ll Understand!
