The Impact of Fellowshipping with God

Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses' hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him.

Exodus 34:29 (NKJV)

After spending forty days and nights on the mountain with God, receiving the law from Him, Moses had no idea what was taking place in his body as he communed with Almighty God. His body had absorbed the light and glory of God as he received God's words. This is remarkable, because the experience teaches us that if anyone spends adequate time with God in the Word and in prayer, the glory, light and power of the Word will affect even his mortal body.

This is what Jesus meant when He said that He is the bread that came down from heaven, of which a man may eat and live forever. That heavenly bread is the Word of God, and we should eat of it, because man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. This is how God wants us to live. Moses said of the Word, "it is your life." The Word is the life of the new creation, and the more we feed on it, on Him, the more spiritual strength, life and power flow into us. He purifies us through His Word, that we may be fruitful.

His Word purifies our hearts and enables our spiritual eyes to see God. This is why the personalised New Testament Meditation and Confession Book was compiled: to help the believer enrich his spiritual life. The Holy Spirit wants the Word to dwell richly in us, in order to enlarge His ministry in our lives. As you feast on the Scriptures, may you come to know a greater spiritual dimension in God than you have known before.

This is the secret to a great life, an amazing life in God: eat the Word.
