The presence of the Living Christ in your life!

God determines how much He will allow you to see of Him. There are times He is very close and times He is very distant.

There are some things you can do that will motivate Jesus to share His presence with you.

Open up your heart with a commitment to live for Jesus above all else. This is not about doing things; it is a willingness to submit to His authority. God is not looking for perfection just a sincere desire to seek His will in your life.

I hear many leaders in the Body of Christ speaking about the importance of abandonment to God. Abandonment is not a static condition with God. This is impossible for anyone to achieve. 

Abandonment is an ebb and flow relationship with God that will vary depending on your emotions and the conditions in your life. Abandonment is not about sacrifice; it is about a steadfast devotion to God. 

Walk with Jesus by faith reaching out to Him for your every need. This is a lifestyle of believing in the promises of God regardless of the circumstances in your life.

The cornerstone to a relationship with God is built on faith. Your faith will determine your outcomes with Jesus. 

Develop a strong prayer life with Jesus and listen for His voice.

Meditate on the Word of God. It is life changing. 

Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. He is the life of Christ and wants to teach you the values of Christ and improve the quality of your life 

God wants your obedience above all else. When Jesus instructs you to do something comply even though it might make no sense to you.

Ask Jesus to cover you with His blood and be open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Commit your works each day to God and ask for His thoughts to guide your pathway.

Praise God at all times! When your life is in turmoil and God seems silent respond with praise and thanksgiving. This is a strong indicator of your faith and greatly pleases the heart of God.

He lives so you can live!
