Can We Really Know God?
Renowned international Bible teacher Derek Prince affirms that we can know God and that there is a clear path to doing so. He unfolds from Scripture what it means to know God intimately, become united with Him in His purposes, and commit ourselves to living for Him fully. Prince explains our need to know God personally and experientially so that we can have true life and fellowship with Him--and then understand what He is calling us to be and do. "There is a calling for every saved person," he says, "a special way of life, a special task, a special responsibility." This book describes the various steps to knowing God and having a right relationship with Him--and reveals what proceeds from that close relationship. We experience real strength and stability only from knowing God. As we earnestly seek Him, His wisdom, and His ways above all else, we will increasingly come to understand His mind and heart. Those whom Christ has redeemed are God's own special people, and He has made us a kingdom of priests to help bring the peaceful rule of His kingdom to individuals and nations. The dark forces of the enemy are encroaching on the world in many ways, blinding people to their true purpose and enslaving them in empty pursuits. God calls us to take part--through intercession and sharing the gospel message--in bringing them His light and setting them free so that they, too, can know God and live wholeheartedly for Him.Author Biography
