For most of my Christian life I had times in which the Holy Spirit would be strongly leading me into fellowship with Jesus. I thought those times were supposed to be rare and therefore special. Also most of my Christian friends never talked about intimate times with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I did not realize that I could draw near to him in my spirit purposefully.
In John 7:37, 38 Jesus says, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water." Do you know how to drink of Jesus? I'll tell you a secret, no two secrets: You cannot drink with your mouth closed. The word for spirit is breath.
When you draw near to Jesus with your spirit, open your mouth and breathe in and out. Breathe normally and go to your spirit inside you. Like everything else you do this by faith. You are drinking of Jesus by the Spirit. This is a physical action for spiritual development. Remember faith without works is dead. Of course breathing is not all you do; this is to help you become sensitive to the Spirit. Listen to him and say whatever he tells you to say even if it doesn't make sense to say it. It may be just one word or a phrase or a part of a song. Again remember this is not a mind thing this is a spirit thing. As you drink you should be getting full. Drink often, drink much, and drink wherever you are and whatever you are doing. You cannot get too much intimate fellowship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Drinking of Jesus is something Jesus says you are to do. Do it. He says out of his belly flows rivers of living water. So come to him and get bloated! Get a belly full. Drink up! Rivers of living water cannot flow out of you unless it is in you.
