They are many today, that dont understand about God! So, they dont know how to ask or seek Him. After God knows that you are seeking Him genuinely, He decides to come and live inside of you. This is called a filling of the Holy Spirit. God fills you with Himself. The Holy Spirit is a part of God that comforts you, directs you, and leads you along your spiritual journey. This is called conversion, and it feels like being born again. As God fills you from the inside you change. You are never the same person again. You see everything differently, trees, grass, animals, insects, clouds and particularly people. As a part of God lives inside you, everyone feels like your child. You won’t be as irritable or impatient with people as you used to be. At your conversion experience you will get all of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control ...Galatians 5:22-23. These characteristics will be more and more like you everyday. People will begin to see you in a different way, even friends and family members will recognize that you have changed. Your conversion could occur suddenly or gradually over time and this is up to God alone. Some people need to change slowly and some people in the blink of an eye. You will read that...The Apostle Paul had his change suddenly. Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lords disciples. He went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? Who are you, Lord? Saul asked. I Am Jesus, whom you are persecuting, He replied. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do. The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, Ananias! Yes, Lord, he answered. The Lord told him, Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and places his hands on him to restore his sight. You cant learn about God without learning about yourself. Illumination is life changing because by now you will want to be more like God. Here are three characteristics of illumination: a joyous appreciation of the presence of God, a clearer view of reality, and a heightened energy state. Let God tell you about Himself. Ask God all the questions you have wondered about. Remember that you are talking to the one being who has all of the information in the universe. Remember that God can’t explain everything. You are not capable of understanding everything. Some things are too complicated. If you are willing, go to a quiet place and ask God to come into your life. Ask this in your own words. Tell God you are sorry for not loving yourself the way you could have, others the way you could have, and God the way you could have. Ask God to show you how to draw closer to Him. You will grow to Love the presence of the Lord!!! I do, EVERYDAY!!! AMEN.
