About the Book
Have there been times in your life when revelation was difficult to understand? Or times when it seemed you just couldn't get an answer from the heavens? Has it ever been difficult to confidently act on an impression - or have you ever been confused after you did?
Our Heavenly Father wants to speak to His children. He wants to guide, inspire, and teach us. And, amazingly, He is willing to reveal His divine wisdom and purposes. Indeed, it seems that man cannot hinder the Almighty from pouring down this glorious revelation from the heavens. However, we can hinder revelation in our own lives. We can obstruct God’s light, love, guidance, or inspiration, much like we can shut the doors and cover the windows to block out the sunlight in a room. Even though the sun is still gloriously shining outside that room, most of its warmth and illumination cannot be felt inside.
If you have ever struggled with receiving, understanding, or acting on revelation, Boxing the Lord In can help you discover ways you may be hindering revelation in your life that are not necessarily because of lack of effort or unworthiness. Drawing on over 30 years of experiences as a husband, father, leader, and teacher, Stephen K. Hunsaker shares ways that we unknowingly or unintentionally cover up the “doors and windows” to heaven’s light, hindering it from not only reaching us, but also from making sense to us, helping us, or even mattering to us.
