...what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints..."Oh God to know, really know, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance! Oh to know You and who You are in perfection. Oh to know You in the deep parts, and to be found in utterness in You.To be found in Your presence, splendor, and majesty Oh God...that is all I seek. To know You the way that You know me. Lord, I lay all other things at Your feet. Finances, future, ambitions...God You are my desire. I don’t want the fruit of ambition…I want an inheritance from You! I pray for You to reveal to me Your wisdom in leading, and [...]

...that ye may know what is the hope of his calling...Calling. I wonder what the original disciples thought when Christ called them. For a rabbi to take on a student in the Jewish culture meant that the student had toiled long and hard in studying the Scripture to have a rabbi look at them and invite them to share his yoke. It's quite the comedy of heaven that Jesus, instead of going to the white collar bookworms, went to the blue collared workers. At the mystery of that, the disciples followed.

I just don't understand.Here in the greek, the word for understanding is "dianoia," which means: deep thought, properly the faculty (mind or its disposition). The situation that happened here is really screwed up, and I feel like I have nothing to give the situation. [Enter the prayer room] I feel that all [...]

...the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him..."I'm hungry. Not like food hungry, I'm God hungry. I believe that faith in Christ is a supernatural curiousity. It keeps you coming back for more, and no matter how much you've experienced, you always want to experience more. This is good and bad. It can be bad if you cling tightly to your past experiences...if your thirst is the experience. If this is the case you'll start to judge every experience through the limited scope of your past experience. But this thirst for more can be excellent if your thirst is to experience Jesus and not the [...]
