Because God is everywhere at once, everywhere he wants to be, and no where he doesn’t want to be, we may simply do three things:
1. Acknowledge him as being everywhere, which includes right where we are.
2. Welcome him right where we are.
3. Live our lives as though he is right here, right now.
How do we do this?
Our wills and our attention. Or our willed attention.
In other words, simply think about God being in the room with you right now. Focus on the FACT that He IS, by definition of who and what He is, in the room with you RIGHT NOW.
With human beings, whom you can see, hear, and touch, you focus your eyes on them. You do this with your will and your mind, but you involve your eyes. Because God is invisible, the only thing left out of this experience is your eyes, or the five senses. Not to say that God can’t or won’t manifest himself physically, as of course he has done and will do when Christ returns. But for now, focus on spiritual experience and what that is like.
Having focused your attention, by your will, on God’s omnipresent real presence, you welcome him. Literally. Verbally.
“God, I appreciate you being here right now.”
Or something like that.
Being focused on God’s omnipresence, and honoring his omnipresence, live in the context of his omnipresence. Because God is with you, watching you, listening to you, hearing your words and your thoughts, seeing your actions and imaginations, how does it affect what you do or don’t do?
This is the proof of whether you believe God is God.
