It is not complicated to find a relationship, but with God you have to have one that is spiritual. This also not complicated, but you have to be seriously enough and committed to become as a living spirit that interacts with God personally. Every person's relationship with God may juvenate different spiritual gifts. However, all of the elements of Spirit of the Lord which is Holy edifies The God of Heaven. This method is for those who have found that their spirtual growth is at a stand still. There is more than becoming saved by baptism, you also have the committing of your life in every way. There is milk, and then a more stedier believer there is meat. Usually, ones that take on meat have given the commitment of their very life in every detail. They live, breathe, and are willing to die for the cause of the cross of Christ. Those who still take milk may tend to be a little less in hesitancy to give up their mortal life and still have a fear of dying. Not to say they are less a believer, but they lack growth in faith and may not have the justification to proceed in a more spiritual growth. Since becoming more of a meat student, I have been justified with stronger faith, and has elevated that I can also teach as well as learn more of the passages God gives us to accomplish the next spiritual realm beyond drinking milk. Gradually, one must read, study, hear and practice obedience. I mean actually committing to the fact they want and desire more. Even praying for the Holy Spirit to come and be received of them. It is not overnight for all, however the Holy Spirit will reveal all things to those who have the faith without any doubts.
Find that spiritual relationship with God will have to begin with the acceptance of Jesus Christ. Baptism is next and then studying and following commands. A new life begins and the old carnel life of lusts and desires of flesh and world must be left behind. These continue to follow for a time, but with endurance you will find your spiritual being willing to fight everyday principles dealing with world and self desires and flesh cravings. It is not easy at first, however I must caution you if you stay committed be sure you are ready for a marvelous relationship in growing in the Spirit of the Lord. Because I do not want to overload you with confusion if you are yet young in discoveries of spiritual living I will leave you with some scriptures to study and comtemplate upon. Those who can take meat should be aware of my writing here and have a more genuine understanding of these things I am writing.
Scriptures for learning and consentration of spiritual living:
Abstaining from fleshly lust: DENYING SELF
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. [Titus 2:12]
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh [Galatians 5:16]
I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live: yet not I but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. [Galatians 2:20]
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [Romans 6:6]
Faith in denial of self will aid you, but it is up to you to pursue and continue in order that your relationship becomes more evidently spiritual with each day's journey.
This topic is open for discussion: I do not know everything, as I continue to study, read and obey continually in acts of Faith and Trust.
