God’s Personal Presence Creates Personal Desire

Knowing God will birth a desire, a thirst to know Him still more. We become more willing to deal with everything that obstructs us from entering into that dependent relationship. Any desire to know Him comes from Him, so we know it will not be denied by Him, and that He will make a way for it to become reality for us.

God’s Personal Presence is a Lifestyle

God is looking for a home to dwell in, not just a place to visit. The more our lives are transformed into a habitation for the Lord, someplace for Him to rest His Head, the more we will enjoy His eternal Life on a moment-by-moment basis. Realize that God hasn't come to take part in your life, He's come to TAKE OVER!

God’s Personal Presence is Present

God doesn’t want us to put off until later a relationship that is available now. Eternal life IS knowing God! It is not something that someday we will receive. We see Him face-to-face now in our spirit, and His desire is that we would be one in Him in our soul and body as well, now. Knowing Him Now is our great, abundant and exceeding reward; anything that comes later is icing on the cake!

Have Confidence!

Knowing God is being in a unique, intimate relationship with Him. Because it is His idea, He is doing the drawing. And it is a drawing into His place of abode. He draws us into His kingdom, His rest. So we can relax! He knows how He has made us; He knows the questions, doubts, strengths and weaknesses each of us carry, so He long ago decided that He would reveal Himself to us on an individual basis. This is His job; we refer to Christianity as “having a personal relationship with a personal Savior,” right? Well, there is a roadmap, showing a fairly straightforward highway, that takes us from where we are now into an intimate relationship with God where He is now. It is the sideroads, the distractions along the way that divert us from The Way. Jesus says “Come!”
