Having the opportunity to be engaged in a constant dialogue with Christ is more than just a hope. It can happen just the same as when we sit at our kitchen table and have an enjoyable conversation with a friend. And how is this possible? Because he’s real the same as you and I are real.
Remember the old song “My God Is Real”? There’s a line that says, “My God is real, for I can feel him in my soul.” If you believe he has spoken to people before, why can’t he speak to you? God communicates to us in our conscience, by providence, teachers and, most importantly, through his Holy Word. We read in the Bible that he also speaks through dreams and visions and has spoken audibly. Whatever way he chooses to make contact, it’s our responsibility, according to Revelation 2:7, to have ears to hear what he has to say.
According to God’s Holy Word, the Alpha and Omega created us with the intent to have a tangible alliance and bond with him in a father and child relationship. Have you ever felt the peace and love of his presence?
If you are seeking and desiring to know God personally, ask him to help you understand. If you have fallen away, take some time and talk to him today. Tell him you’re sorry. It’s true, he’s a Spirit, but so are we, and this is how we connect. We listen with our spiritual discernment and focus with our spiritual eyes. Even though often it’s difficult to hear him, he actually has a lot to say. The problem is that only a few people are paying attention because they are not interested. It’s just like everything else: Whatever we are consumed with will have our complete attention.
There is nothing ordinary in God’s presence. He can still get his point across and use whatever he knows will get our attention. He is all around us and in everything. His love and mercy is in the warmth of the sun; his peace is within the doves’ song; his power is felt in the ocean waves, and his infinite authority is seen in the universe. Each of us have priorities, and I pray that our strongest passion is to abide in the shadow of the Almighty and learn to live in the secret place of the Most High.
