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 wants us to cooperate with Him. His future and our future is a great, bright one. But we have to cooperate with Him to make sure this imagined future becomes a reality in our lives.It might be that today you look small in your own eyes, but God wants to give you a great future. And He does not keep us in ignorance about the prospects for the future, and for this very reason He gave us the Holy Spirit. One of the things that the Holy Spirit does is revealing the future God has prepared for us.
  • If you will not initiate changes, they will never happen in your life

    It is time to know that changes are initiated rather than expected. Changes do not happen by chance, they happen because someone initiated them. When it was dark and void all around, God initiated change by introducing light. He said “Let there be light”.“In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water. Then God commanded, “Let there be light”—and light appeared” (Gen.1: 1-3)
  • Lust brings sin, and sin brings death

    «Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death. Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.» (James 1:13-17).
  • Prayer is our spiritual breathing

    Ask God for grace to arrange your life for effective praying. Be honest with yourself today. Is your prayer life effective, or it has turned into fruitless routine? Maybe your really do not have any prayer relationships with God? You alone can answer these questions. We often talk of prayer; we hear of prayer. It makes us think that we know what prayer is. But do we practise praying? We know that prayer is necessary for our spiritual life, just like air is necessary for our physical life. We must be enough diligent and disciplined to pray.
  • You are the epistle of Christ through which His salvation can spread through the whole world!

    Paul is saying that many people hear the Gospel but still are not enlightened by that. These people had made their choice to continue living in sin, therefore, satan, the god of this world had blinded their minds so that the light of Gospel remains unveiled to them, regardless of how hard somebody tries to share the gospel with them. Nevertheless, Paul and his partners presented to others the brightest light of the Gospel, – that is Christ Himself, who is the image of God. Paul was convinced that people should be able to see God in Christ, so he preached Christ and instead of preaching about himself.
