In Presence of Spirit: Stepping Closer to Christ Through Complete Surrender

Original Writing: Closer

Closer, You are here with me in Spirit.

A beautiful view looking down a road heading into a peaceful town, with majestic rock mountains standing tall in the front and soft white clouds framing the peaks above.
Finding beauty and steady hope along the winding journey.

The writings are priceless; they are my sanity. Oh, Lord, I need the mastery of Your Passionate Promises to Mankind.

For narrow is the way, and few get there, but by giving up totally, through Jesus Christ to God, the envelopment of the truth, is reinstated.

From the ancient past of promises, from God through Jesus Christ, to whom the seed was sent, not of many but of one Christ, one Lord, one Father.

It is abandonment: In The Light of Spirit. In Spirit, we are revealed too, the secret, of the ancient writings. We are one in Him, through Him, and round about Him. His presence is a breath away, not a couple thousand more years.

For it is by the grace of God that I received the gift of writing, through the Spirit of Our Holiest of Holy, through Jesus Christ from God the Father of the Heavens.

In spirit, in faith, in love, in understanding, in patience, in courage, in strength, in the loss, in death, to the unveiling of the oneness of Christ within. No Date

Scriptures

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and save such as be of a contrite spirit.

Affirmations

I choose total abandonment to the light of the Spirit, finding my sanity and strength in the passionate promises of God.

I am never truly alone because the Spirit of God dwells within me, and His presence is always just a breath away.

Through every loss and trial, the internal oneness of Christ is unveiled within my soul, anchoring me in perfect peace.

Reflection

“Closer” opens the door to the sacred mystery of total spiritual surrender. To walk the narrow way requires a complete abandonment of self-will, letting go of the world to be entirely enveloped in God’s eternal truth.

In this quiet place of devotion, time operating by human constraints fades away—the Lord’s presence is not separated by thousands of years, but is vividly alive in the here and now.

Every trial, loss, and season of grief becomes a pathway to uncovering the true inheritance of a child of God: the golden unveiling of Christ within us. It is through this gift of spirit-to-spirit communication that we find steady hope and a beautiful sanctuary for the soul.
