One thing I enjoy doing is hearing the word of God (that divinely inspired word known as a rhema word) and sharing my revelation with you. I love the art of writing but recently I was challenged by a Godly thought that made me examine myself and re-ignite my prayer life I want to share my thoughts with you which actually came in the form of a question

The question is simply “do you experience what you read”? This might seem like a strange question but let me explain. Whether it’s through my writing, listening to your pastor preaching or in any other way that God gets His message across to you, the question is whether you actually experience what you hear or read.

As I stated earlier, I love writing, I love receiving revelations but it had never occurred to me to pray to experience the word. My focus has been more on getting the word out to you. Personally, experiencing the word was not something I was particularly concerned about until now.  I have come to realise that truth is to be experienced, otherwise it is just theory. Looking around, there is no shortage of God’s words but a large shortage of experience.

The experience of truth is what makes our Christianity both interesting and fun. Unless we experience God’s word that’s been revealed to us, then at best, we would have had our imagination ‘tickled’ and would have just acquired head knowledge. Experiencing God and not just hearing God’s word is what Jesus died on the cross for. Christianity is a relationship with the Father and the Bible is our inheritance book.

My experience has been that God sheds light on certain scriptures that then becomes revelation to me. Revelation in turn brings faith to believe that word. Many times that is the end of the matter and I had not realised that something was wrong until now. The next step, which I have not been doing, is to go further and ask God to enable me, through the power of the Holy Spirit to experience the word.

I am going to go back to our past articles and ask God to enable me to experience some of the truths revealed. All of our past articles are available at www.christianbusinessmagazine.com. 

I would like to end with a timely quote I read from a book from Bill Johnson entitled Secrets to Imitating God. This quote reflects accurately what I have attempted to convey in this article.

“His focus in revelation is our personal transformation. Revelation leads to a God encounter and that encounter forever changes us. Revelation gives us access to the realms of greater anointing available to us to make that truth a personal experience and lifestyle”.

Why not visit our site today and look for those posts, particularly the ones that have ‘leapt out of the page at you’ when you initially read them and were a revelation to you at the time.

Perhaps, it might not even be my articles but other words you have heard but which you are not currently experiencing. Why not ask God to give you the experience to accompany any revelation you receive.

My prayer for all of you my readers is that from this point forward, you will experience the truth of the word of God as I continue to share it with you. So until I appear again in your inbox with more insights from the scriptures, stay blessed
