Chapter 4

AGREEING WITH GOD

Once you get acquainted with God—once you know Him—you must agree with Him. That's what our text said: "Acquaint now yourself with Him [agree with God] ...." Agree with God. Too many people don't even agree with what God said. When you tell them what the Word says, they reply, "Yeah, but ...."

To get acquainted with somebody, you've got to listen to him; you've got to hear what he says. If you want to get acquainted with God, listen to Him; hear what He's saying. It's right here in the Word of God.

Can you get acquainted with somebody if the two of you sit down, say, "My name is Ken" and "My name is John," and stare at each other for three hours? How much are you going to know about John when you get up? How much is John going to know about Ken?

Well, John is going to know my name is Ken, and I'm going to know his name is John. That's about all we're going to know about one another except what we look like. But if we had sat there for three hours conversing back and forth with one another, we'd know something about each other.

To get acquainted with God, we've got to read His Word, find ourselves a place of prayer, and do some talking to Him—but not all the time. There are times we've got to be quiet and let Him talk a while.

A man came to me the other day and said, "I don't ever hear God talk to me."

I said, "Well, do you ever talk to Him?"

He said, "I talk to Him continually—all the time."

I said, "That's the problem. You never shut up long enough to listen!"

Get acquainted with God. Know Him. Know Him through the Word. Converse with Him. And once you do, you've got to agree with Him. This goes right back to Matthew 18:19, where Jesus said, "If two of you shall AGREE on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."

What can happen then? Anything! When you and God come into agreement on this Word, heaven and earth will move.

The Word says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" (Matt. 24:35). That's God's Word. Get acquainted with God and His Word.

We sing a song sometimes that goes, "Stand, stand, I cannot be defeated." I don't care how many billows of life's sea splash in my face. I don't care how many times the devil reaches up and slaps me. I cannot be defeated, because I have agreed with God's Word. And God's Word says I'm healed, whole, blessed, delivered, and set free. I'm a conqueror in Christ Jesus.

I'm talking about getting acquainted with God to the point that you can stand your ground when everything around you looks bad.

Our text in The Amplified Bible says, "show yourself to be conformed to His will" That means coming in line with what God said.
