“Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:11
You can attend church, read the Bible or other devotionals, and participate in all kinds of religious endeavors but this will never give you the ability to know the reality of God.
To know God, you must make a decision to live for Him above all else. This will cause God to seal you with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the life of Christ. He will introduce you to the Living Christ and teach you the deep truths of God. He does this in several ways:
He illuminates scripture to give you the ability to understand the underlying truths of God and how to apply them in your life.
He teaches you how to walk by faith trusting in the promises of God.
He shows you how to discern the heart of God from religion.
He convicts you of sin and keeps you on track with God.
He gives you the mind of Christ and speaks directly to you with wisdom and helps you navigate through all the twists and turns of life.
He teaches you through all the moments of life about God. He causes you to examine your motives and live with the values of Christ.
He allows you to see life through the perspective of Jesus.
He changes your priorities.
He gives you glimpses of the transfigured Christ to strength your faith and to help you grasp the enormous power and glory of God.
He gives you the ability to live in oneness with Jesus.
Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life and you will come to know the Living Christ and live in the reality of God.
