How to be one with God?

“That they may be one even as we are one” John 17:21

Today can be an amazing day for you whether you are a believer or not! Jesus was one with God throughout His entire life and He prayed that you would be one with Him.

The idea of becoming yoked to God is not a myth. It is reality. If you are an unbeliever, the first step is to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior. This genuine expression from your heart will give you the gift of eternal life.

Now you are on the way but you lack the power and vitality of the resurrected life. Many people stop after the commitment to God and just go through the motions. They lack the ability to be a Spirit empowered believer filled with the attributes of Jesus. They are stranded, weak, and helpless.

It is like a jet airplane on the tarmac ready to takeoff. But it is grounded because the fuel tank is empty. The secret is to understand that at the moment you make a commitment to Jesus, you are given the Holy Spirit. This is the life of Jesus in the form of a Spirit and is your source for life. You can now take off if you ask for the Holy Spirit to baptize and fill you with His Spirit.

This is not about practicing religion. It is about living it. You will have an intimate relationship with God and hear His voice. He will fill you with love, joy, peace and all of the fruit of the Spirit. He will give you wisdom and fight your battles for you.

The Spirit will infuse every aspect of your life including your thoughts, emotions, and decision making. You will think and act differently and life will have a much deeper significance. Your source of life will be the endless reservoir of God’s living water.

It will not be by your might or by your strength but by the Spirit of God. He will be living through you!
