Have you ever wanted to experience more of God in your life, but don’t know how?
This week on Live the Promise, several of our guests shared four ways we can find more intimacy with God.
Robert Morgan explained the important role Biblical meditation plays in our connection with God. Robert explains that meditation has a bad rap in our culture today because it has been hijacked by Eastern mysticism and other religions. However, the idea of meditation actually originates in Scripture. He says that it’s time to reclaim the lost art of Biblical meditation and find true peace in Jesus.

Robby Gallaty joined the program and shared how Western Christians should follow Jesus, an Eastern Rabbi. He says that we can increase our intimacy with God by understanding His Son, in His original context. While we don’t need to understand the context of Jesus’s day to have a saving relationships with Jesus, Robby says understanding the context is like upgrading our understanding of Jesus from black and white to brilliant color.

Sam Storms says we can enhance intimacy with God by welcoming the gifts of the Holy Spirit into our lives. He says that we often fall into the trap of shunning or rejecting the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives because we don’t understand how it works and because we’ve seen excesses in the lives of others as well. He says it’s important to welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives because He will not force Himself on us.

We often think of connecting with God in spiritual ways. However, what if our physical health could help or hinder us from connecting with God? Cherie Calbom says that when we take care of our physical bodies, it can help us be more in tune with what is going on inside of us emotionally and spiritually. If we are suffering physically, it can serve to distract us from what God might be doing in our lives.
