How Can I get to know an Invisbile God?

It’s very frustrating when I am around other believers that don’t agree or understand the same things I understand about God. I totally understand that from a worldview perspective, but why is it such a prominent issue in the body of Christ? Everyone has a level of understanding when it comes to the things of God, but a sense of maturity should not be elusive. I find myself more frustrated talking to “believers of Christ” than “non believers of Christ?”

Okay. That was kind of sorta’ an introduction, but more like venting…I’m done. Here is what I really want to write about.

I understand that everyone has an opinion about God, but how can one make sense of anyone or anything for that matter, if they truly haven’t tried to make understanding of them or it? What comes into questions is this, “how do you make understanding of it?” Well, you can ask questions, or you can simply experience it or them yourself, right? Honestly, just asking questions will only frustrate you, because more than likely the answer you desire or want will not be what you receive. That is why experiencing something or someone first hand is essential.

Let’s think about this…

I desire to travel. I can come on Medium and read all of these great stories of authors who’ve traveled the world. I can look at the images and picture myself there, wishing I explored that moment with them. I can even ask questions, but will asking questions bring me into a place of complete fulfillment of my curiousity? No….it will only enlighten me to discover just a little more because what I’ve received from those answers was not enough. Those answers could steer two different directions. I can either decide that I desire to know more, or I can decide that I am not interested anymore. Is it fair to just say, “well, I didn’t know it takes that much to get a passport, or wow, you spent a lot of money there, and I just don’t have that type of money, so I am not interested in traveling anymore.” That doesn’t seem fair to just retreat on the idea all together because of a lack of understanding or faith. My experiences don’t transpire by questioning, my experiences transpire by doing just that…experiencing.

At the point of transpiring experiences, I can save up enough money, jump on the plane and fly to South Africa to “experience, South Africa.” Now, I feel a sense of fulfillment, because I no longer have to rely on the words of what my friend, or neighbor shared with me about their experience, but I, who had the guts to make that leap of faith, can now experience South Africa too! The beauty in it all is that, my experiences won’t be the same as the neighbor or the friend. It will be unique and catered to me.

This is the same feeling I get with God. When I explore God, I get to experience these wonderful moments that doesn’t make sense to a natural understanding. I am the wanderer and God is my destination. It’s time to transpire experiences. Just like a wanderer on a mission to an unfamiliar country…it is much like exploring the Kingdom of God. I make the effort and invest in the time to experience HIM…the destination. I am not preaching religion, I am preaching relationship, because I am crazy enough to believe that there is an invisible, supernatural, galactic power called God of the universe, that actually exist. Selah.
