Many of us have felt the pull to prioritize seeking a deeper, more intimate relationship with God, His Word, and His Spirit. We are being called to walk away from all that distracts us, lies to us, and imprisons us.
We’re being wooed back to His presence; the place that’s really our inner circle, where we’re accepted, comforted, empowered, and shown wonders. That’s really where we’re supposed to abide.
It’s time to cut ties with temporal, lifeless things, to walk beside His rivers of living waters, and embrace the eternal treasures awaiting us. It’s always been God’s intention for us to really 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 Him.
When Jesus died on the cross, the veil of the Jewish temple ripped in half. This was the veil separating the Holy place from the Holy of Holies—the earthly dwelling place of God’s presence. The veil marked a separation between the earthly dwellers and the Creator. When the veil of Jesus’ skin tore open with the nails of death on the cross, it opened up a way behind the veil into fellowship with God—a life-giving intimacy.
There is a thin veil of separation between this earthly realm and the spiritual one. It requires accepting the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 way in, through Jesus Christ and His Spirit, to see and hear the secrets of God’s kingdom.
Surrendering to a lifestyle of holy spiritual habits is not really about what we do, but who we 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 and who we 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 in the process.
The following are some questions to help you do that.
Will you prioritize God above all?
Will you surrender your will?
Will you set aside plenty of time?
Will you partner with Holy Spirit?
Will you abide in the secret place?
Will you persevere when it’s hard?
Will you pray for God’s direction?
