Title: It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you have a personal experience of Him. You need the substance called faith.
“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].”
Hebrews 11:1 AMP
Faith is a spiritual substance, a title deed, a confirmation and an assurance. It is proof of the existence of things not yet revealed to the senses. The things we hope for, yearn for and desire. How then does this work? You need to understand that your God who loves you and cares for you passionately is able to accomplish things on your behalf. You need to seek His mindset through His word. His mindset is revealed in His promises. Connect to God through His promises. His promises then become a reality in your life. It will sometimes take patience and endurance sometimes it will happen instantly.
Point of reflection: You have been given by God exceedingly great and precious promises by which you can become a partaker of divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4). The divine nature refers to experiencing God in your life.You need a yearning, a desire, a passion. You also need a prepared soil, a prepared heart, an open mindedness which will allow His word to sink in and take root in your life. The spiritual substance called faith is coupled to the word of promise. Putting it differently, the word of God has built in within itself the capacity to produce faith in the person who opens his/her heart to it. For faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Do you desire the life transforming working of His word in your life? When you are ready-
Prayer of breaking ground: My Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for Jesus Christ who is the Word of God. Thank you that He suffered and died for my redemption. I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life and I ask you Lord to come into my life and break the fallow ground of my heart and make it receptive to your word. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
