Experiencing GOD - guaranteed!

Often people ask "how do I experience God?".

Well, obedience helps.

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”".

So, when we live like that, Jesus assures that we will experience HIM/GOD for sure ("I am with you always") : )


POWER

When GOD speaks, universe/planets/humans/mountains/animals come into being (Book of Genesis)! Eggs unscramble and dead rise too (even from dry bones & ashes)! - Wow that is called POWER! 

Now, GOD's spoken Words are also stored in the Bible. That is why we study Bible regularly - to experience "THE SAME KIND OF" God's power in our life : )

Yes you can do it!

At times you may think it's all over ... You may not have any motivation left to continue ...

Remember, people managed to kill and lay dead GOD (Jesus) too! But then Jesus rose and  Romans 8:11 says: "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.".

So, the same Spirit that RAISED Jesus FROM BEING DEAD, is NOW IN YOU, Christian!! So why are you worrying and stressing out? Your situation cannot be that dead, that the Spirit of GOD, in you, cannot bring it back to life!



WHO is right and who is wrong?

Your friends are telling you one thing, your professor is telling you one thing, your pastor is telling you one thing, your parents are telling you one thing, and your own flesh is telling you one thing ...
And you wonder who is right? Whom do you believe?

Well, that is why GOD has given us His Word - the Bible!

Remember, whenever the devil tempted/provoked Jesus in the dessert (Luke 4), EVERY TIME (note "everytime"), Jesus responded by going to God's Word / Holy Scriptures:- "It is written ...".


Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path". 


Thank God for the Bible : ) So, yes, READ YOUR BIBLE : )
