Practice the Presence of Christ

Over 300 years ago, Brother Lawrence discovered the greatest secret of living in the Kingdom of God here on earth.  It is in the “practicing the presence of God in one single act that does not end.”
 
Many times he has stated that it is God who plants Himself in the depths of our soul.  We must merely open our hearts to receive Him and His loving, living presence.
 
He learned to cultivate the deep presence of God so thoroughly in his own heart that he was able to joyfully exclaim, “I am doing now what I will do for all eternity.  I am blessing God, praising Him, adoring Him, and loving Him with all my heart.”
 
We can be content with nothing less than knowing God in all His Majesty and feeling His loving presence throughout every simgle day.
 

“May the Mind of Christ Be in You” 

May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day
By His love and pow’r controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour
So that all may see I triumph
Only thro’ His pow’r.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea
Him exalting, self abasing
This is victory.

God really wants me to enter and dwell and spend my whole life in the conscious enjoyment of His immediate presence.
 
Earth must now count on the power of the Holy Spirity to bring down the Kingdom of Heaven to us and make it a personal experience.
 
God wants us to be like JESUS.
