You can know God as certainly as you know things in this physical world.
You become familiar with things in the physical world through your physical senses.
You have spiritual senses too. When you unearth your spiritual senses and begin to exercise them, you will get to know God and the spiritual realm. All you need to do is to learn to hear the promptings of the Holy Spirit and actually use your spiritual senses.
How do you use your spiritual senses?
Faith is the key. It’s faith that enables your spiritual senses to function, without faith, you can’t know God. To have faith, is to be sure of the things you hope for and to be certain of the things you can’t see.
Most people tend to think of the visible world as real and doubt the existence of the spiritual realm. They don’t necessarily deny that it exists - they just doubt that it’s real.
The problem is that people are so preoccupied with the world that they can see that they struggle to see the spiritual realm. But that doesn’t mean the spiritual realm isn’t real.
It’s time to break the habit of ignoring spiritual things. It’s time to move your interest from the seen to the unseen. Belief in the invisible lies at the heart of knowing God.
If you really want to know God and become more spiritual you need to become ‘other-worldly’.
“We must avoid the common fault of pushing the ‘other world’ into the future. It is not future, but present. It parallels our familiar physical world, and the doors between the two worlds are open.” Tozer
God always intended that you enter into His Spiritual Kingdom while living here on earth.
As you begin to focus more on God you will begin to see the things of the Spirit. When you are more conscious of God you will begin to taste, see, hear and experience more of Him and the spiritual realm.
As your spiritual senses become tuned to the things of the Spirit, God will become more real to you and you will be more and more aware of His presence.
Ask God to open your spiritual eyes so that you can see. Ask Him to open your spiritual ears so that you can hear Him speaking to you. If you’re serious, He’ll answer your prayer.
“… if you seek God, you’ll be able to find Him if you’re serious, looking for Him with your whole heart and soul.” Deuteronomy 4:29
