Paul B Thomas

I have come that you might have life and life more abundantly (Jesus)

I have read a lot about folks online having a 'spiritual experience.' Many Life coaches promote a 'spiritual' experience. But having a spiritual experience is not the 'God experience' and if you don't have the God experience then you're going after second best and what 'not real,' here's why!

God created man in his image and the discovering of his creator brings man into a powerful union with deity. Without this union man can never be truly happy or fulfilled in life. Man is more than a body with a head on its shoulders. Man is a spirit being living in a body. Your eyes are the windows of the soul through which you see your world. Your heart is the blood pump that gives life to your flesh but it's your spirit that makes you You a living soul. When a man neglects his spiritual life his life is lived at a third of its potential.

This is why a man can have money yet always feel broke This is why a man can have a family yet feel lonely. This explains why a man can live in Hollywood have everything yet always want more.

The reason is you have a spiritual need that natural things like money, fame, status or obsessions cannot replace.

You are more than a body you are more than a mind. You are a spiritual being and if you neglect to find God you will never have peace, fulfilment, joy or life success. Further having a 'spiritual' experience will not work for you, it may actually deceive you. You will always want something' more.' be someone else or want a different life. Following a religion you will still feel frustrated, having money you will still feel poor, having fame you will still feel undone. What you need, is to find 'God,' for if you make a god of anyone or anything other than the real God, then you are only robbing yourself of life's best. The price of missing God is that it will cost you everything you will never own!

7  Steps to the Ultimate Spiritual Experience.

1. A spiritual experience without Faith is only a 'spiritual' experience. A 'God experience' comes by using the God kind of faith. For 'Faith' is first a gift from God, and faith empowers a man to understand in his spirit what he can never fathom, or understand by mental assent alone. That's why intelligent men don't believe and ignorant men can! So the experience starts with having 'faith' and not by getting 'spiritual.'

2. Understand that 'God' is not found by the five senses. God is found by the sixth sense, which is a product of the spirit and is called faith. The spirit finds by 'faith' what you can never find by sight, touch, smell, taste or touch.

3. People on a 'spiritual journey' cannot find God unless they use faith and faith can only come from the one true God, God gives this faith to those who genuinely want to  find him. 'Seek and ye shall find.' God gives faith to the seeker because he sees a genuine sincere heart. Apart from this no one can know. This means that only 'believers' can be saved* First humble yourself and pray asking God to forgive you and show himself. When you do this sincerely, God will give you this supernatural faith and he will begin to reveal himself to you.

4. Faith believes the incredible and what's not evident to the natural mind. Faith believes and accepts as fact as fact that which is not revealed to the senses. (Hebrews 1O:1 The Amplified bible)

5. Here's the key to belief in God you must accept his word. That's the starting point for God cannot be worked out comprehended or understood without first accepting that 'he is.' Begin to read the bible it's a book about the one true God. accept it when you don't understand it and soon your faith will grow. Then he will show you who is is and when you discover his name, salvation or the God experience will come to you.

6. Read the book of Isaiah it will show you that 'Jesus' the Christ is God. This is the most challenging yet life changing statement a man can even know. It will come by revelation not information. God has to how you so read all of Isaiah especially chapters 43-45.

7. The sign of humility and true submission is accepting the Lord God (Jesus) as your Savior. Accepting Jesus command of being born again (John 3:5). How by following Acts 2;38 here's the clincher it's mentally challenging because its life changing and it works. 'repent and be baptised everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.' (Acts 2:38).

That my friend is the beginning of the ultimate spiritual experience.

Paul.

* He who comes to God must 'believe' that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. (Heb 11:6) The devil believes, so being a 'believer' don't change your life or make you a Christian! He who believes and is baptised shall be saved. Dont stop with believing, use faith and overcome your limitations.
This then is the ultimate spiritual experience.
