Knowing Him Daily

21 January, 2026

Intimacy with God is not something we visit.
It is something we live in.
Every day He invites us to know Him, walk with Him, and allow Him to change us from the inside out.

Breakthrough is not passive.
It is also not produced by human strength.

There is a spiritual tension in the Kingdom —
a pressing in that refuses to retreat,
a faith that does not let go,
a determination that will not agree with anything that contradicts God’s Word.

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12 NKJV

This is not striving.
It is standing.

It is not forcing God’s hand.
It is refusing unbelief.

The violence Jesus speaks of is not against God, it is against demonic forces such as fear, resistance, delay, and disobedience.

Jacob wrestled and said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me.”
That was not fleshly effort.
That was desperate dependence.

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6 NKJV

Breakthrough comes when alignment with Him and His persistence meet.

You pray and keep praying.
You obey and keep obeying.
You stand when nothing appears to move.

“The battle is the Lord’s.”  1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV

Your role is to contend in faith.
His role is to release victory.

Sometimes breakthrough sounds loud.
Sometimes it arrives quietly.
Sometimes it comes as strength to keep standing before circumstances shift.

But it always comes to those who refuse to quit.

Stay aligned.
Stay persistent.
Stay yielded.

The Father responds to faith that presses in.

“By My Spirit” by Leslie Phillips is reminder that while we contend, we do so anchored in His Word and faithfulness, not our performance.

Tomorrow we turn outward —
to assignment, souls, and the Great Commission,
where what God has done in you now flows through you.

Make today count and see you tomorrow!
