When the actual presence of God – not just thinking about God – comes to you, you have entered spiritual life. Until then, you’re the “natural man” whom Paul says is not under the law of God, neither indeed can be.
A stirring will take place within you. God’s life becomes your life and you no longer have a life of your own. You’ll then see that this life that you’re living … is God! Surrender the belief that you were born on a certain date and will die on a certain date and assume your immortality. Not after you die, but before you were born. You can’t make it so: it already is so. You don’t make it so through being good: you merely discover that it is so. “I live, yet not I; Christ lives as me.” “I am come that you might have life and that you might have life more abundantly.” That was God speaking through Jesus. “I can of mine own self do nothing.” God, the Father, always announces Himself so that you’ll know it’s God. There is only one source of your life: God: “Fear not, I am with you.” My presence goes before you. My kingdom is established within you. I, Me, My = God. His kingdom is within you and flows from within you.
