The EXPERIENCE of God

Scripture invites us to the experience of God.

Psalm 34:8 — Taste and see how good the Lord is!

Psalm 45:8 — All your clothes have the pleasing scent of myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

John 10:27 — My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me.

Psalm 63:2 —
Yes, I’ve seen you in the sanctuary;
I’ve seen your power and glory.

(All Common English Bible)

God is beyond the mind. He is beyond the propositional truth. He is the God who wants us to know him.

The Holy Spirit doesn’t make us alive for the purpose of having our brains know some truth alone. The Spirit makes us alive for pursuit. The God of all might and power has apprehended us! We are called to a holy pursuit.

We are so numb to experience. We seem to be locked up in the fantasy world of just “knowing” the right stuff.

A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here waiting our response to His presence. This eternal wold will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality. (Tozer, The Pursuit of God)
