Enjoy the Presence of God

📖 “But I tell you the truth: It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away, the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you.” (John 16:7)

When Jesus was in the world, some people enjoyed a close relationship with Him. The apostles, for example, spent more time with Jesus than the crowds who followed Him. Jesus’ physical presence in this world limited the possibility of interaction with Him (Mark 2:4).

As He said goodbye to His disciples, Jesus stated that it would be better for them if He went to heaven, because then the Counselor would come. The Counselor is the Holy Spirit, described by Paul as the Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9).

With the coming of the Holy Spirit, all of us have the opportunity to interact with Jesus, draw near to Him, and have an intimate relationship with Him. Through the Holy Spirit, we can enjoy deep fellowship with the Lord. Today, Jesus is spiritually present in the life of everyone who believes (Acts 2:38).

Develop Your Fellowship with Jesus

• Believe in Jesus as your one and only Lord and Savior.

• Ask the Lord Jesus to grant you the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

• Seek the Lord’s presence through fellowship with His Spirit.

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, I believe in You as my one and only Lord and Savior. Fill me with the fullness of Your Holy Spirit and help me enjoy Your presence every day of my life. In Your name, Jesus, I pray. Amen. 🙏
