How can we experience God in our life?

Greetings to you, my friends, at this marvellous day! The God´s mercy is renewed for us this morning. The Bible says: «Let everything that has breath praise Yah!» (Psalm 150:6). If you can breath today – it´s a mercy of the Lord and a sufficient reason to praise and thank Him. Today I would like to begin a new topic called “How can we experience God in our life?” Studying the Bible we see God doing great feats through many people. He was able to realise His intentions using those people just due to their revelation and understanding of God´s key principles. While living in the different times, educated on a different level, belonged to the different cultures all Bible heroes basically have something in common. The secret of the success and feats they had is obvious – they knew God and interacted with Him. They experienced God´s power and His mercy in their lives. How did they succeeded? It became possible because they dedicated themselves to God. That´s exactly what God is inviting us to do. The following verses from Scripture prove it:

« Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service» (Romans 12:1).

«Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.» (Romans 6:13).

«For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.». (2nd Corinthians 5:14-15).

«who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.» (1st Peter 2:24).

«according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t make known what I will choose. But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake. Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.» (Philippians 1:20-26 ).

«But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.». (Matthew 6:33).

All the verses above tell us the same thing, namely: in order to experience God and His power in us and through us we have to understand, that all our life belongs to Him. Therefore, we have to dedicate ourselves in whole to God and His ministry.

Our bodies like a living sacrifice must become the tools of justice, so that we can bring the fruits of righteousness to God. Paul says that it is no longer him that lives, but Christ is living in him. Paul dedicated himself to the Lord, that´s why God could do incredible feats through him. During his life Paul experienced God´s power and mercy abundantly. We will experience God as much, as much we dedicate ourselves to Him. Once we understand we do not live for ourselves but for the One who has died for us, we discover the unlimited source of power and mercy of God for ourselves. God gives mercy to the humble, that´s why when we dedicate ourselves and our bodies to Him in humility, His mercy comes into our life filling it with God´s glory. God always works in us and around us. He calls us to join Him and become his partners.

«For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.» (1st Corinthians 3:9). «Working together, we entreat also that you not receive the grace of God in vain.» (2nd Corinthians 6:1). If we cancel all our excuses and reply to His call, we will receive true blessings from Him.

God has actively participated in al events since the foundation of this world. God did not set the Earth up like an alarm-clock, then dropped it to spin on its own, not at all. After the human kind was separated from proper relationships with God, He is persistently working to conquer the Earth to Christ.

 God works, granting salvation to those who are lost without Him and dying in sins. Heavenly father works through Jesus reconciling the world with Himself, but somehow God decided to accomplish His work through His people.

By reconciling people with Himself, God desires to move us to the centre of His will on Earth. If we want to experience Him and the stream of His power and bliss, we must dedicate ourselves and our body to Him.

The God asks: «Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?»«I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”» (Isaiah 6:8).Jesus said to His disciples: «… the harvest indeed is plentiful, but the labourers are few (Matthew 9:37). Why are there so few labourers? Why is it so that God is looking for whom He can send? Because there are no many people ready and willing to submit themselves to Him as a living sacrifice. You can make this decision today to join the file of God´s heroes, through whom He is willing to manifest His power and fulfil what He has set.

Be abundantly blessed!

  • God gives to everyone according to his or her ability

    We all want more. We want our churches to have more people, but God – according to your ability – will give you what you can handle. God will be able to entrust you His blessings according to the level of your responsibility. For example, you are in a predicament and you think, „Why do I have to live through this?” But God knows that you can handle it. We often are not aware of how responsible or irresponsible we are, but God is. God knows the burden you are able to carry. You may think and say to yourself, «No, I am not able to bear this! I am not capable!» Until you actually go through it, you won’t be able to imagine what you are capable of.
  • Do not be afraid to work; do not be afraid to sacrifice your time to the Lord!

    «But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money» (Mathew, 25:18).This person received some money from his master and he hid it. Please, notice these words ‘money from his master’. He knew that what he had received did not belong to him; it belonged to his master. And he made a conscious decision to hide the treasure his master had given him.
  • The seed contains tremendous potential II

    I want you to notice that it is required of us to accept the Word if we want it to bear fruit. People with stony hearts also accept the Word, but there is a difference between them and those whose heart is identified as being good ground. People with stone hearts receive the Word on the emotional level, on the surface; besides, they are not consistent, and as a result the Word cannot take root in their hearts.«…and they have no root in themselves…» (Мark 4:17)
  • The sample of effective prayer

    In order to pray effectively one needs a sample. Christian life is a spiritual life, therefore, connection with Heaven is vitally important. Our God is a spirit, but we all live on Earth, so we need to stay connected with God. There are only two ways of having fellowship with God – The word of God and a prayer. The God speaks to us through His word. The word of God is His revelation about God himself. Neither you can create the character of God by yourself nor you can imagine what kind of person He is, because you can easily fail getting it right. The God tells us in His word about who He is, what He can do and how He acts.
  • Ask God for a reformation of your life, especially your prayer life!

    God desires for us to realize that the church that prayer also wins; it is united church which cannot be overcome by the gates of hell. Praying church is a growing church that experiences God’s power and miracles. God promised that He has established His church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. May God help every one of us to give prayer the central place in our lives; may God’s order be established in our lives. I am not talking about redundant, fruitless imitation of prayer; I am talking about the prayer that touches heaven, releases God’s power which was seen in the life of Jesus.
  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? III

    There is another voice that we hear – it is the voice of other people and the voice of human standpoint. For example, the voice of experts goes in this category – a doctor who proclaims what the medical equipment indicates. A doctor may tell the patient that he will die in three days, because the medical equipment, the analyses and his own medical experience show that. Praise the Lord for our doctors, but we must know that the last word always belongs to God. God often says the totally opposite to what experts say. In such cases, it is necessary that we, while being respectful towards different specialists, put aside the expert conclusions and trust God, not people. The more you trust the expert conclusions and not the Word of God, the less God can give you life.
