I still remember the first time my Grand father performed
his ‘magic trick’ of passing his finger through the flame of a candle. I sat
there amazed that he beat nature and fear by taking on fire and overcoming it.
It seemed impossible to me. I thought my Grand father was an amazing man. Of
course as I grew up and understood the ‘trick’ I understood that anyone can do
this ‘trick’ and there was no magic involved. But for quite a few years I was
in awe of his little illusion.
Somehow and I don’t quite know how, I became convinced in my
Christian life that God’s power and spirit was separated from me. I used to go
to prayer revival meetings, where a number of us would cry out to God for him to
move by His supernatural power. Now it wasn’t for lack of passion or desire. I
really wanted God to move and I was earnest in my fervor to see a move of God,
But, I felt God was up there in heaven and I was here below on earth. In
reality this separation was an illusion, a lie based on my feelings and not
based on the word of God.
The truth is that God is not separated from me, there is no
separation, He is not distant from me, He is not withdrawn from me, He is not
far away.
God by his Spirit is interwoven into my very being. It is He
who animates my heart, gives me life and vitality, plans every single heart
beat within my chest. His breath fills my lungs, Christ’s has become the very
blood flowing within my veins, and my union with Christ is genuine and living.
