It is actually fairly common for a person receiving Immanuel prayer ministry to initially have trouble perceiving and connecting with Jesus.
The good news is that Jesus is always present & wanting to connect with you. Tens of thousands of hours facilitating Immanuel prayer sessions, hundreds of hours of receiving Immanuel prayer sessions, and careful study of scripture have totally convinced me that Jesus is always with us— Jesus has been present with us in every past experience, and the Jesus is present with us now. Furthermore, my experience with Immanuel prayer has taught me that Jesus always wants us to be able to perceive his presence, connect with him, synchronize with him, receive from him, and be with him – Jesus always wants to establish an interactive connection with us. Therefore, if you are not initially able to perceive and connect with Jesus, we can assume that there’s just something in the way.
More good news is that any blockages that are in the way can be identified and resolved, and when you do this, you will become able to perceive and connect with Jesus’ living, loving, personal, interactive, life-giving friendship presence. I therefore encourage you to work very persistently to expose and resolve any blockages. (In some situations the blockages can be complicated, and quite a bit of work might be required to find and resolve them; but in almost every situation, persistent troubleshooting eventually enables the person to perceive and connect with Jesus.)
Again, the really short summary is that Jesus is always with you, and always wants to connect with you. If this doesn’t happen initially, then there is just something in the way. And when you find and resolve the blockages, you will perceive and connect with Jesus.
