Have you ever wondered what your relationship with God should look like?
Maybe, you have heard someone express how they talk with God.
Perhaps you have a desire to get closer to God.
Or, you would like to know when God is speaking to you.
Whatever category you fit in, I want you to know I have been where you are.
I grew up in church culture.
I was educated on how to be a Christ follower.
However, I eventually reached to a point in life where I had to be honest with myself.
I was not experiencing God where our relationship was personal.
In other words, I didn’t feel confident to know when God was speaking to me, such as a friend or family member.
John 10:27 shares, “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
Shortly after, I identified the missed connection that I felt with God.
I needed to go beyond the surface level as a believer of Christ in order to grow a personal and closer relationship with God.
Eventually, I was able to do this by doing the following three things: surrender, surround, and sustain.
1. Surrender: I made a decision to submit to the authority of God being Lord.
Meaning, my actions reflected me giving God the power, authority, or influence over my decisions.
2. Surround: I made a decision to intentionally surround myself where I believed God’s presence resides.
I decided to not simply attend church, Bible study, or church groups, but I attended with an open mind believing what I heard was God speaking directly to me.
3. Sustain: I made a decision to be intentional to practice what I learned in God’s presence throughout my day.
Now, I can say though I have been where you are.
However, if I can be transparent, I am still practice surrendering, surrounding, and sustaining.
Because I realize in order for me to create with The Creator, I have to intentionally surrender, surround, and sustain to create effectively.
If you would love to learn more, I encourage you to join me and our Empower Her Tribe every Thursday of this month at 7PM CST.
Every week we will learn how to practice how to surrender, surround, and sustain to grow closer in our relationships with God on Virtual Bible Study.
We are ready to create.
We are going to create with The Creator.
We will create because we are created by The Creator (God) to create.
Will you join us?
