In all honesty, absent of the strong testimony/witness of someone close to us, there are few things one can do to persuade someone else about the realness of God. For to know God, is to experience Him in your life. The beautiful thing about an experience with God, is that when we have an encounter with Him, it cannot be tossed aside as a coincidence, or “luck”, or any such frivolous explanation. God defies what is known as “common sense,” and He dwells outside of time – so when He moves in our lives, He does so in such a way that no one else can take the credit.
A wise man once told me, “When you don’t feel like God is real, or when you have given up on 'the God-thing' – that’s the time to pray in earnest for the Holy Spirit to take over, and turn your ‘feelings’ into faith.” Yes, the beginning of a real relationship with the Lord God Almighty starts with prayer, and is sustained by prayer. He is always present, but comes into our conscious lives only by invitation. And we must be real with Him- pray for our hearts to be softened, and our eyes and minds to be opened to what the Spirit will impart to us. It will become an ongoing conversation that may seem to start off one-way. But little by little, and day by day, as we continue to converse with the Lord, He will reveal Himself. It’s not scary, there’s no hocus pocus, trickery or magic - but the journey WILL be awesome!
The following is a passage of Scripture that describes the beauty and benefits of knowing God. As with every Bible reference, we encourage readers to always read the entire chapter for context, clarity and a more complete understanding (and the whole book, too!).
Blessings!
