“Because I live, you also will live” John 14:9
Most believers live miles apart from God. They enter into a relationship with God defined by rules or works. Or, they approach God with a lackluster attitude!
You can never know God through your intellect or a methodical approach. God designed you to live with Him by faith in a close and personal relationship. He is a very approachable God!
The disciple of Christ learns spiritual truth by the application of God’s principles into the reality of his life. In other words, he walks the talk!
Authenticity comes when you make a decision to live for God without any restrictions. Until then, you are just going through the motions.
Faith is trusting God for your every need. Whether you need money, physical healing, wisdom, or help in a relationship you seek out God.
Faith is living moment by moment with God in both the big and little decisions of life. You develop a mindset to inquire of Christ about all things. You learn acting impulsively will always lead to problems.
When life is exciting things with God seem to be great. However, when life is boring and mundane the vitality of God fades away. It is in the boring moments of life where God will teach you about Himself.
As you begin to trust God your perspective on life changes. You think and act differently. What was impossible before now becomes reachable. If Christ can create and hold the stars in place think what He can do for you.
God has given you the mind of Christ. He desires to have conversations with you. Develop the discipline of listening for the voice of God! This will create a fullness and intimacy in your friendship with Christ.
The purposes of Christ are perfect. He desires to give you an abundant life filled with His presence!
