Did you realize that the motivation behind daily routine is to seek after and experience a personal connection with the Higher Power? Salvation is our salvage from the sentence of death on account of transgression, yet closeness with the Higher Power is to characterize our existence with Him.
However, when we think about seeking after closeness with the Higher Power, our human instinct considers misguided judgments and wavering.
How would I plan for more prominent closeness with the Higher Power?
Every individual’s experience of closeness with the Higher Power is special. In my long stretches of seeking after Him, there have been encouraging statements delivered into my heart—dreams, dreams, and disclosures of His force, magnificence, and love.
He has given me secret bits of knowledge that open the foundations of my plaguing sins while enlightening and enabling the method of getaway. He has given me admonitions and supportive gestures; mending and change; further comprehension of His Word; thus significantly more.
“The individuals who sit tight for the Higher Power will acquire new strength; they will mount up with wings like falcons, they will run and not get drained, they will walk and not become fatigued.” (Isaiah 40:31)
Albeit minor subtleties fluctuate, these essentials apply:
1. Concede certified atonement.
This is basic to starting a relationship with the Higher Power, (Matthew 4:17; Luke 13:3; Acts 2:21, 4:12; Romans 6:23, 10:9), however, it should be described by real, sincere distress over the transgression and genuine and progressing endeavors to get some distance from it (2 Corinthians 7:10).
2. Genuinely want the assignment of the Higher Power’s force.
Numerous individuals don’t know that the Higher Power needs to give the ability to oppose sin. Be that as it may, we need to keep a certified longing to both get and use it once given. This is a “change of the will” that must be accomplished through disclosure of the Higher Power’s beauty and love (Titus 2:11-14; Philippians 2:13, 4:13; Galatians 2:20; Romans 2:4, 5:17, 8:5, 28; 2 Corinthians 1:21, 5:14; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
3. Observe if love is your inspiration.
What inspires you to submit to the Higher Power is indispensable. If it is love that constrains you (2 Corinthians 5:14-15; Romans 2:4, 16:20; John 14:23; 1 John 5:3-4), at that point, the force of High Power will show in your life to hold you back from falling (Jude 24; Romans 6:15-18; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; 1 Peter 1:13-16; 2 John 6).
4. Restore and administer your psyche.
It isn’t simply the Higher Power “holding us back from falling” (expecting we have confidence in His guarantee to do as such). We should likewise do our part by adhering to His directions (James 4:7-10). The Christian walk is an organization—the High Power doing His part and you and I doing our own (Romans 8:5, 12:1-2; Galatians 6:7-9; Ephesians 4:22-24; Philippians 4:7-8; Colossians 3:1-10; 1 Peter 1:13-16).
5. Figure yourself dead to sin.
To “figure” signifies acknowledging as a reality for yourself and you would say. The Bible discloses to us that transgression will not be our Higher Power (Romans 6:8-14). Assuming that wasn’t conceivable, the Higher Power couldn’t have ever said it! Our errand is to discover and suitable how that is conceivable.
6. Live by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:16-18 reveals to us that if we live by the Spirit, we won’t delight the cravings of the substance. 2 Peter 1:3-10 discloses to us that as adherents the Higher Power heavenly force has effectively given us all we require for faithfulness (see likewise Romans 8:4-15). Our propensity, in any event, when we know better, is to steer from the High Power and attempt to accomplish sacredness in our solidarity (Galatians 3:1-5).
What are the basic misguided judgments about closeness with the Higher Power?
Confusion #1: Intimacy is much the same as sexual.
In the first place, in a world that routinely characterizes “closeness” as something sexual, it is a troublesome idea to comprehend with regards to the Higher Power. the Higher Power is soul, be that as it may, so there isn’t anything sexual about having a personal connection with Him. Isn’t it very much like the malevolent one to take a word that depicts something so crucial and confound us into inconvenience about how it identifies with our quest for the Higher Power?
Confusion #2: Intimacy ought to be simple.
Closeness with the Higher Power requires a ton of exertion. Numerous adherents will not take the time that it requires. All things considered, He may request a lot of their consideration or might request that they accomplish something they would prefer not to do.
They have their pass to paradise yet need to keep their everyday life separate from the Higher Power. Seeking after He bargains their self-sufficiency. Dazed by their narrow-minded autonomy, they don’t have a clue what they’re absent.
Misguided judgment #3: Intimacy shouldn’t include pausing.
We’ve been prepared by the media to anticipate fast outcomes from little exertion. We unwittingly put a stopwatch on the Higher Power and His guarantees and when He doesn’t satisfy our hopes, we proceed onward to something different. The idea of “looking out for the Higher Power” has become an erroneous date.
Misinterpretation #4: Intimacy with the Higher Power is just for ‘exceptional’ individuals.
Numerous individuals expect that getting physically involved with the Higher Power is an exceptional call—that the normal individual can’t go there because they’ve been undermined by their dreary or wicked Christian life.
It is a stunt of the adversary to keep them from the answer for their transgression. It is a redirection from knowing the wonders of endless life, which started when they gave their lives to the Higher Power, who said to the Father:
“This is everlasting life: that they may know You, the lone genuine the High Power, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” (John 17:3)
Confusion #5: It’s too difficult to even think about sorting out ‘how to get close with the Higher Power.
Albeit many discussion radiantly about having a close connection with the Higher Power, few depict how to arrive. A portion of my #1 writers portray the wonders found in His essence—journalists like A.W. Tozer (The Pursuit of the Higher Power and The Knowledge of the Holy), Mike Bickle (Passion for Jesus), Henry Blackaby (Experiencing the High Power), and numerous others.
Yet, not many blueprints the way to closeness. In my book, Transformed Into His Image: Hidden Steps on the Journey to Christlikeness, I attempt to clarify how closeness with the Higher Power is the irreplaceable establishment for being made heavenly. 
What are down-to-earth steps to more noteworthy and progressing closeness with the Higher Power?
At the point when the Higher Power protected me from an existence of extraordinary sin, I was left alone to discover my direction. I didn’t confide in Christians and didn’t have a decent Bible-accepting church to manage me through enticements that effectively plague me (Hebrews 12:1-3).
So at first, it was simply me and the Higher Power. Which was something worth being thankful for, because I had to look for Him constantly and with my entire existence (Hebrews 11:6; Jeremiah 29:11-14). In absolute dependence on the main of the Holy Spirit, this is what I found out about creating closeness with Him:
1. Choose to submit to regardless of the expense or how troublesome the excursion.
Spurn the things of the world (John 14:15)
Trust in His decency and comply with Him in any event, when there is no proof
Embrace that he who loses his life for the good of Jesus will discover it (Matthew 10:39)
2. Drench yourself in the Word.
Follow the lead of Jesus and accept each word He says (John 5:30, 10:30; 15:10; 17).
3. Invest extensive energy seeking after the Higher Power (Hebrews 7:19).
Be mercilessly fair with the Higher Power
Pose the hard inquiries
Look out for Him
Do all that He advises you to do (Luke 22:42)
Figure out how to have confidence in His elegance, love, and changing force (2 Corinthians 3:18)
4. Inundate yourself in the personal love of the Higher Power.
Sing love melodies to the Higher Power, instead of tunes about the Higher Power
Keep away from the bogus lord of Christian “diversion,” where your substance is invigorated as opposed to sewing to the Higher Power
5. Find and plunge into the existence of a congregation that accepts the Word and works in the Spirit (Ephesians 5:15-21).
Routinely go to home association and care groups
Invest bountiful energy getting petition at the special stepped area
Figure out how to impersonate prepared adherents who have survived (1 Corinthians 4:15-16; 1 Thessalonians 1:6; Hebrews 6:12, 13:7)
6. Look for direct recuperating from the Father and the impartation of the missing bits of your adolescence.
The Higher Power will shock you with gravely required disclosure while you are amidst looking for Him. On the off chance that you ask Him for it, He will extraordinarily bestow essential things, for example, a feeling of prosperity; information on being cherished, adorable, advantageous, and significant; information on the decency and rightness of His having made you male or female; an assurance that you are needed, and that you have a Father in paradise who worships you.
7. Pastor to other people.
Figure out how to serve and how to cherish (1 John 4:10; John 14:15).
8. Decline to be debilitated by ‘wild periods.’
Enticements and inconveniences can here and there make us accept that the Higher Power has deserted us. They test and temper our confidence (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).
In any case, the Higher Power won’t ever permit us to be enticed past what we can withstand (1 Corinthians 10:13; Hebrews 2:18) and He won’t ever surrender or neglect us (Hebrews 13:5).
Wild periods where the Higher Power appears to have vanished from our lives can likewise be periods where He is instructing us to look for Him not for the encouragements that He gives, but rather for Him alone. Be that as it may, He is never as near us as when He appears to have disappeared. We need to develop ourselves in this sacred confidence during such wild periods (Jude 20).
the Higher Power has given us an astounding guarantee: that if we look for Him with our entire being, He will uncover Himself to us (Jeremiah 29:13-14).
Regularly, somebody who is biting the dust will communicate profound lament that they didn’t invest more energy with their family. As their life concludes, they mourn over finding (past the point of no return) that life was to be found in closeness with those they cherished—that truth be told, all the cash, assets, and vocation victories were useless in correlation. Try not to allow that to happen to you!
Companions, closeness with the Higher Power and others are the proposed motivation behind life, both here and in paradise. It might require time and exertion yet will substantiate itself in a changed life and the serious delight of encountering the Higher Power’s quality.
