We do this by focusing on Him , seeking Him, worshiping Him, praying to Him. If anone else, anything else is the focus then we are spirtually dead and the people will not come. Why should they ? If we do not make Lord Jesus real to ourselves, we can't make Him real to anyone else. If He isn't real, then nothing else in the Church will be real. Are we spiritually alive in Lord Jesus or are we spirtiually dead ?
