"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
The Holy Spirit has burdened me lately with believers who don't listen to God. This is a very dangerous habit and can bring destruction and misery into your life.
It would be nice to sit down a have a cup of coffee with Jesus. Unfortunately, this can't happen because the person of Jesus lives in Heaven.
God did provide a way to enter into a conversation with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. And, Jesus confirmed how to draw near to God by worshiping Him in Spirit and Truth.
The Holy Spirit is sealed in all believers. He is the essence of Jesus. And, He desires to have a living relationship with you.
Prayer is not a one way dialogue where you unload your needs upon Jesus. Prayer is a rich, two way conversation and part of a symbiotic relationship with Jesus.
Prayer is asking God to convict you of sins and provide forgiveness through the blood of Jesus.
Prayer is committing your works to God each day and seeking His wisdom for your life.
Prayer is coming before God with a quiet mind and listening for His voice. God wants to have a dialogue with you to teach you His values, and guide your footsteps. He wants to protect you from evil with a powerful buttress of support.
Prayer is reaching out to God with all your needs.
Prayer is allowing the Holy Spirit to bring up those people or circumstances He wants you to pray about. And, He wants to show you how to pray powerful words coming directly from heaven. And, not just a lot of religious words.
You have the mind of Christ. It is impossible to walk with God unless you are yielding to the Holy Spirit and hearing His voice.
The Christ follower recognizes his utter lack of self sufficiency and the importance of hearing the voice of God.
God's voice is not confined to prayer. Be open to hear Him at any time.
Jesus has life changing words for you!
