I believe that human beings are inwardly designed to connect heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul with one another. Our lives go better when we have a community of dear, kind, and loving friends. An environment of deeply heart-felt connections is the environment most conducive to our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. But that is hard to find.
The key is to first connect heart-to-heart with the living God. Let Him remind you of the glorious mysteries and wonders that He has surrounded you with. Let Him fill you with the awe of His majesty and overflow your heart with love for Him. The more you allow your heart to burn with God’s love, the more you will connect with Him and with people — the more you will live in supernatural community.
Be still and know when God is speaking to you. (Psalm 46:10). Let God the Father show you what He is doing. Allow Him to inwardly prompt and lead you by His Spirit so that you can follow and obey His still small voice the way that Jesus did. (John 5:19)
Don’t just go to church. Everywhere you go, go with Jesus and listen for God the Father to lead and guide you by His Spirit.
I’d rather have inner peace than to attend a lecture about it. I’d rather walk with Jesus than hear a talk about Him. I’d rather pray with people than listen to a sermon about prayer. Lectures, talks, and sermons have a place, but direct personal experience is far more powerful! Train yourself to continually be aware of Christ in you and to do whatever He tells you. (John 2:5)
