Evidence is overwhelming...

Dallas Willard's book, Hearing God Developing a Conversational Relationship with God gives many morsels to chew on concerning this topic... one of which:

 "Life with effects beyond the natural always depends upon intimate interactions between us and God, who is therefore present."

Throughout the Word there are examples of men and women whose lives showed this truth. The evidence of their relationship with the Lord was seen through the many miracles, signs and wonders... 'There was no doubt of God's presence with them because it was He who energized their activities with a power beyond their own. The fullfillment of Jesus' words concerning the divine helper- 'He abides with you, and He will be in you' (Jn 14:17)- was to them the most obvious fact in their lives. 'If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.' (Rom 8:11; also Eph.1:19-20)

So if our relationship with God is as intimate as those who have gone before us, then the evidence would be overwhelming...just as the evidence of our lack of intimacy is also evident....

As for this Christian, knowing that the evidence is clear, more time is required to grow in a deeper walk with Him...
