A Living Person Is Present

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him." - Hebrews 11:6

A loving Personality dominates the Bible, walking among the trees of the
garden and breathing fragrance over every scene. Always a living Person is
present, speaking, pleading, loving, working and manifesting Himself
whenever and wherever His people have the receptivity necessary to receive
the manifestation......

But why do the very ransomed children of God themselves know so little
of that habitual, conscious communion with God which Scripture offers? The
answer is because of our chronic unbelief. Faith enables our spiritual
sense to function. Where faith is defective the result will be inward
insensibility and numbness toward spiritual things. This is the condition
of vast numbers of Christians today. No proof is necessary to support that
statement. We have but to converse with the first Christian we meet or
enter the first church we find open to acquire all the proof we need.

A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us,
altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it.
God Himself is here waiting on our response to His presence. This eternal
world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.
