If God is ever disappointed when you wait in his presence, it will be because you are not fervent. If you are not serious and intense, you disappoint God. If God is with you and you know it, be in earnest. Pray and believe: "hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end" (Hebrew 3:6). If you do not, you disappoint God.
Jacob was that way. God said, "you are not real enough; you are not hot enough; you are to ordinary; you are no good to Me unless you are filled with zeal---white hot!" Jacob knew if God went without blessing him, he could not meet Esau.
If you are left alone with God and you cannot get to a place of victory, it is a terrible time. You must never let go, what ever you are seeking, fresh revelation, light for your path, some particular need, never let go. Victory is ours if we are earnest enough.
You must always master that with which you are wrestling. If darkness covers you, if a fresh revelation is what you need, or if your mind needs to be relieved, always get the victory. You get the victory by being determined to get to victory, by being white hot, dead serious!!!
Can you hold God? Yes, you can. Sincerity can hold Him, dependence can hold Him, weakness can hold Him.
I will tell you what cannot hold Him: self righteousness cannot hold Him: assumption cannot hold Him: high-mindedness cannot hold Him.
You may sometimes think that He has left you. He does not leave you. You will be blessed if you yield to His will and permit God's Spirit to work in you and bring you to a place of helplessness. Helplessness is weakness; we become strong through Him when we are weak.
God hates warm but He loves white hot!!!
