Engaging the Living Christ on His terms!

“You did not choose Me but I chose you” John 15:16

God is not distant. He wants to have an engaging relationship with you. 

The starting point is to make a heart commitment to live for Jesus above all else. This means you come to God on His terms and not yours.

The gift of salvation is seeking out God for His will in your life. As a believer you are on a journey to die to self and live for Jesus. You lose the right to yourself and are no longer in control. 

This means your goals and desires must fall under the authority of God. You have come to God with no expectations for yourself except to live a life pleasing to Him.

The terms of your relationship are defined by God. Remember, God is complete and lacks nothing. You can’t help God but He can do great things for you. 

The simple part is prayer, meditating on the Word, and listening for His voice. 

Where it gets complicated is when you try to think for God and attempt to do things for Him. 

You have to be grounded in the Holy Spirit and allow God the freedom to do with you as He pleases. And, at times this will create anguish and frustration.

Your endeavors for God must originate with the Holy Spirit in His perfect timing.

Walking with God is simply living by faith and seeking His will for your life.
