Jesus is quite unreal, for all practical purposes, to many Christians. Although multitudes readily claim to know Him, few actually show much
evidence of spiritual reality in their daily lives. The irony is that all of the divine power of God lives within them. Most, however, either aren't aware of that or don't know how to make it real in their lives.--Chip Kirk
The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to become suddenly aware that we are in God and God is in us. This would lift us out of our pitiful narrowness and cause our
hearts to be enlarged. This would burn away the impurities from our lives.--A.W. Tozer
Learning to consistently and effectively practice the presence of God is somewhat like learning to master a musical instrument. At first it is awkward, frustrating and grueling, but after tenacious persistence and considerable practice, one can do it with little effort or thought at all. Those who persevere can reap extraordinary rewards, as do those who are around them.--Chip K
