It is very simple to engage Jesus. This begins with today. Jesus lives in the now. He does not want you to dwell in the future.
Jesus is alive and wants to be real in all your endeavors today. Forget about religion if you want to engage Jesus. Come straight to Jesus with an open heart to hear and obey His voice.
Remember, God knows you better than you know yourself and He is omniscient and sees the future. It is pretty dumb to think you can supplant your judgement and ideas over the sovereignty of God. This is what causes troubles in life whether you are a believer or not.
Jesus wants to show you the good, acceptable and prefect will of God in the context of today. This not about learning big spiritual revelations but simply about how you should go about today. What you eat, how you spend your money, relationships with family and friends, bringing order to you life and helping you to excel in your work.
I just heard Jan, my incredible wife, ask God to show her the best jogging or walking route for today. This is what I mean. God wants to enrich your life and protect you in all the moments of your today. They may seem trivial to you but not to God.
If you are a believer, the Living Christ dwells in you in the essence of the Holy Spirit. He wants to speak to you and infuse you with His thoughts. He wants to make you aware of both light and darkness and steer you into the acceptable will of God.
Walking with Jesus is not complicated.
Come to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you for your mistakes and cover you with His blood. Everyone falls into this category. There are no perfect saints.
Reach out to God with all your needs.
Commit your works each day to God and invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. This for your own good and protection. He is not interested in making you into a religious robot.
Make a decision to trust God implicitly and believe in all His promises. Faith is believing in God and not what you see with your eyes. Without faith you cannot please God. You will just end up walking in circles.
Listen to the voice of God and learn to be obedient to His instructions.
Spend a few minutes each day reading the Bible. The words are powerful and life changing. Jesus will come off the pages and enter into the reality of your life.
Jesus wants to be your best friend and give you an abundant life!
