For many years, a lot of Christians have prayed and have desired that God would grant them fellowship with the Holy Ghost, and it has seemed as if their prayers have gone unanswered. This is what the Bible says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). I want to suggest that you go over this verse of the Bible as many times as possible. The understanding you will receive will open up a lot of things in your relationship with the Almighty God.
When you want to approach the Holy Ghost for fellowship, the approach of faith matters very much. You must approach Him the way Hebrews 11:6 instructs - by faith. You must be certain that He is there and that He will respond to your invitation. That is faith. You shouldn't be expecting a physical sensation to confirm His Presence. Go by the Word, He is there with you.
Lying on the bed loosely sometimes depicts an unserious attitude on our part. So I suggest that you either get up on your feet or get down on your knees, and start talking to Him with reverence because you are before the Almighty God.
If you so desire, and it's okay, begin to sing songs of praise and worship to Him ... quietly. The idea is not to attract people's attention to you, but to be able to connect with Him privately in a way that will be benefitial to you. You may have to switch off your phones and lock your door. If you could still be disturbed where you are, you may have to look for somewhere else to be alone with Him.
When singing, be careful not to sing just any kind of song. Prepare for yourself the kind of songs you want to use in worship.
Have your Bible, pen and notebook with you. You are likely to need all these precious items. Do not be in a hurry. You are having an appointment with God. What or who else could be more important?
Till next posting, God bless.
