“At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” John. 14:20.
The problem with a lot of Christians is not that they don’t have the Spirit, it's that the Spirit doesn’t have them. The instruction Paul gives to Christians in Eph. 5v18 is ‘be filled with the Spirit’. It is a passive command in the present tense meaning, it is a continuous action. You don’t get filled today and expect it to cover you tomorrow, just like you won’t eat Sunday dinner later and expect it to carry you over to next Sunday. Why do we need to be continually filled? Because we leak! Being filled with the Spirit is a dynamic and ongoing experience – it’s what talking to God, reading your Bible, fellowship and prayer on a daily is all about.
God desires and intimate relationship beyond occasional deep dive from you. He wants mutual intimacy. He wants to be in you and you being in Him, I don't think this is an impossible reality. In a nutshell, it's time to go deeper in God. To go deeper with God, focus on building a stronger relationship through prayer, scripture study, and seeking His presence. Engage in daily prayer, make time for quiet contemplation, and actively study the Bible to understand God's will and develop a deeper understanding of His character. It's also helpful to engage in activities like journaling, listening to sermons, or attending church services that can deepen your faith.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us. The depth of our faith also determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us. Like Luke 6 says, our lack of depth deprives us of the ability to withstand whatever storms come our way, and it will also stop us from having the faith to help our friends and family stand strong through the storms in their own lives. You must make up your mind, it's time to deepen your faith.
