Enjoying God, Prayer and Spiritual Formation

This book is about experiencing the greatest blessings of this life and the life to come. It is about the beautiful spiritual blessings of Jesus in heavenly places. It is the road to fullness and wholeness. It is the road that anyone who has a healthy self-interest will choose. This great blessing is a result of being very close to God and having a vital intimate relationship with Him enhanced and released through prayer. To truly learn to pray is not an easy road, but it is very critical to fullness and living the Christian life in the abundance of the Spirit. This is the pearl of great price that Jesus spoke about. This calls for an earnest devotion and discipline to place ourselves in the place where God can gift us with contemplative prayer and we might truly enter into the fulness of enjoying God in this life and the life to come. This requires that we make room in our life for God. Jesus invites us to come and find rest. We will learn how people that have gone before us learned about the process that God uses in spiritual formation so that we might receive the blessings that God passionately desires to give us. We will learn how we can enter this process and make continual progress in prayer and spiritual formation. Then we learn to truly experience Christlike transformation from the inside out. In him is life and life abundantly, and as the disciples said, "Where should we go, you have the words of life". This kind of a blessing in and through prayer and Jesus Christ is available to all people. In his strength and by his spirit we can enter into his invitation to life and life abundantly.
