A God experience

Hello everyone,

How are you doing? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” Ephesians 3v19 (KJV)

“Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3v19 (NCV)

“and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].” Ephesians 3v19 (AMP)

I read somewhere that “a man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with only an argument”. That is what this verse of scripture is pointing towards. That we would experience the love of Christ that goes beyond mere knowledge, goes beyond theory, goes beyond just reciting the scripture to saying I have experienced that love. Interestingly enough, the Bible asks us to rejoice in the Lord always – even in the difficult and trying times. Have you noticed that it is through those trials, those fires, those tough times that you tend to experience His love, comfort and presence more; His strength being made perfect when we are weak, the times when you have no one else but Him. The times when you give your all to demonstrate you love Him even when it means you will be thrown into the fire like the 3 Hebrew children or the lions’ den like Daniel. Those experiences surpass head knowledge and you come out saying I know my Redeemer liveth. You begin to witness to others like the woman who met Jesus at the well, that there is a God who cares, who reigns, who liveth. My prayer for every one of us is that we begin to experience the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge, that we would know what is the breadth and length and depth and height of it in Jesus name, amen.
