Think of how Jesus spent time with His Father during His earthly ministry. He would get up a great while before daylight so He could pray.

He would spend a whole night in prayer, communicating with His heavenly Father. After John baptized Jesus and the Holy Ghost came upon Him and anointed Him, He spent 40 days in the wilderness fasting and praying. Then the Scripture says He lift that place in the power of the Holy Spirit.

As a result of His time with the Father, He knew what He was to do and He did it! He perfectly pleased God. Afterward when Satan came to tempt Him, Jesus knew exactly what to do to have victory.

We need to let Him teach us. We need to read His words as if we have never heard them before. Picture in your mind Jesus talking to you now, saying to you the same words He spoke to the disciples.

In Christian circles we have been raised in such a sloppy way with an attitude of "just get born again and live anyway you want to," that it has cost us the blessings God wants to manifest in our midst.

Getting born again is not something you just do so you will miss hell. He tells us to go win the lost, so we do it, but this is not the entire purpose of the Church.

Our purpose is to please God—to be His special possession in the earth and do whatever He tells us to do. We should cleave unto Him, live in fellowship with Him, and be vitally united with Him.

We should spend enough time with Him that we hear and recognize His voice so we can be pleasing to Him. When we do that, winning the lost will be the result.
