by Dr. Mfon Cyrus-David (NAPSA)—Thebiggest obstacle that stands between us and our dreamsof freedom, happiness and relevance is our human nature seem and the way it tends to impede our relationship with God— the only relationship that can make these dreams come true. God is actively involved in getting Dr. Cyrus- us to where we want David to be, but this realm is often well out of our zones of comfort. It is in the realm of our spiritual maturity. God’s recipe for our growth to spiritual maturity is to take us through the wilderness where we are confronted by impossible circumstances, which he curtails with merciful deliverances. Through these experiences we learn to look beyond our natural resources and up to him, by searching for, receiving and obeying his word. We also learn to wait on God, to seek his face, to be patient and to persevere. Here weare like precious metals tempered in the furnace and the result is the radiant beauty of holiness, purity, praise, faith, tem- perance, goodness, liberty of spirit, clarity of vision, focus and obedience-true worshippers. My new book, “When The Fire Fell,” explains how Christians can renew and grow in their personal relationship with Christ, and how to experience God’s fullness and grace in yourlife. The intensity of our desire and the degree of responsiveness to His Word will determine the extent we can go to him.
