God is connected to, present with, and affected by every one of his human children. As brother Paul said to the men of Athens on Mars Hill “he be not far from every one of us … and in him we live, move, and have our being”. Understanding this requisite fact, we must live with the consciousness that God reacts emotionally with our conduct, thoughts, and intentions, whether they be good or bad. Lord, bless us all to comprehend with Bro. Hamptons burden.

Your consistent walk with God alone does not manifest the blessings of God in your life; it simply makes them available. If you live a life pleasing to God, then you deserve all that He has in store for you, but you will not get it unless you take it! It is imperative that we come to see that the things that we are waiting to see happen will not happen short of taking it. If we don’t take it, then we will simply go without it, no matter how necessary it is. Lord, help us all to realize this!

God's pattern of operation has been consistent all throughout time; he calls certain chosen of mankind on whom he dispenses gifting, power, vision, and authority through whom He works and leads His people. God doesn't work randomly or haphazardly, He works via a prophet, a man under divine inspiration. There are many preachers who fill pulpits all across the world, who do nothing more than add wood to the fire of the burning spiritual condition of mankind. Where no vision, prophet, or Godly leadership is the people perish. The enemy of our souls has worked hard to eliminate this understanding from the spiritual atmosphere, God help us to walk in this light.
