I know what that’s like. My name is Joseph Clampitt. I’ve always been a cerebral person, prone to intellectualize everything, including my relationship with God.
For the first 20 years of my Christian life, I read the Bible and other books and learned a lot ABOUT God. But I didn’t have a daily connection with God himself.
It took a crisis to get in touch with something much deeper. After a miscarriage and nervous breakdown that nearly led to my wife’s death, I started seeking Jesus’ presence every morning. And he responded, powerfully. Touching him shifted my goals, plans, and ambitions for life. The full story is in my book, The Presence of Jesus.
I want that for you, too: the complete restructuring of your goals, plans, and ambitions based on an experience with Jesus Christ. I teach you how to get in touch with your spirit, the part of you that connects to the Holy Spirit.
Your intellect cannot connect with God, it wasn’t designed for that. If you are a Christian who thinks, plans, and strategizes your every move, book a spiritual direction appointment and learn a better way.
Logic won’t help you solve these questions
How do I listen to God and get unshakable clarity?
How do I tell the difference between Jesus’ voice and the enemy’s?
How do I overcome negative patterns that go back as long as I can remember?
Imagine you hold in your hands a letter. It is addressed from Jesus to you. He begins with a few words that cover general truths that apply to everyone. Then, just where he begins to speak specifically to you, the letter is torn, and the last piece is missing.
You hold the first half of the letter, the Bible. But all that Jesus wanted to tell you about your individual traumas, talents, and “the good works he prepared in advance for you to do”…all that is missing.
Sadly this is the reality of many Christians today. The old, tired advice to just “pray and read your Bible” does not solve this problem.
In John 5:39-40, Jesus told the Pharisees and teachers of the law, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.”
A personal relationship with Jesus is more than belief in the right doctrine.
Learn how to turn your intellectual belief into a live-giving relationship.
