I'm halfway through reading a book called 'Christ is All' by Andrew Murray. It's a wonderful book of small reflections, most no more than 10 pages long. Each chapter contains a deep truth which all point towards the reality of an intimate relationship with God that Jesus promised through the power of His Holy Spirit. Murray is a mystic of sorts. If you like Tozer etc. you will love Murray.
This book has taught me more about the reality of God's Kingdom on earth than any other I have read in recent times. It is amazing to think that Jesus actually intended and expected for us to live a life full of joy and peace. His teachings were never intended to be reduced to theory, or reserved for a religious elite. No, the life of the Kingdom of God is the inheritance of every Christ follower and must be received as a child. God wants to give His very self to normal people. What beautiful news!
Murray's thoughts are so simple, which is wonderfully refreshing in a world that has become obsessed with needless complexity. Nevertheless they are totally profound. God has spoken to me through this book and I hope that if you read it you will find the same. More than anything else I hope that you will come to know in greater intimacy the God who really wants to fill you with His Spirit to such a degree that you walk with Him in great intimacy every moment of your life. Amen.
