God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ... And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11

Christ In Us
When we talk of knowing and loving the Lord in a real way, we must understand that we're talking about a walk of faith; of knowing He dwells in our spirit within us, and there we meet and fellowship with Christ.
We must learn to be comfortable with living and moving within an unseen realm within us, without getting weird about it, as some people do.
To walk in invisible realms of our spirit, it must and can only be done by faith.
Why? Because Christ hasn't granted us the ability to use our natural eyes or senses to fellowship and dwell in that realm. It's an invisible realm and invisible God, but the results definitely end up being seen, as they manifest in our outer lives.
How does one practically do this then? Again, by faith.
By faith we know Jesus Christ dwells within true children of God. So when we focus on Him within our spirit, we believe that we're there with Him.
Next, whether we feel it or not, we believe our hearts or turned toward Him and fellowshipping with Him.
There's really not much more to entering into this extraordinary walk with the Lord than this. It's all by faith, motivated by His love; for faith works by love, as the scriptures teach us.
In that believe and position, we simply wait before Him in His presence together, and in peace enjoy being with Him. Again, it doesn't matter how you feel, you're there with Him, and in peace in His presence.
There is a lot of fruit which can come forth from this practice and reality, and those that will bear that fruit can only do it by faith in what Christ has said, and that He indwells the children of God.
Christ In Us
