Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matthew 16:16
Someone with an experience is no longer at the mercy of someone with an opinion. God did not call us to argue, but to testify about what we have seen, heard and experienced. Those who lack an experience with the living God can discuss theology very well, but often lose their arguments because they can’t prove what they say. Knowing God is not a science: it’s an experience! There is no need to discuss the matter because the truth of an experience cannot be refuted. Someone who has had an experience with God will never be at the mercy of someone who only has an opinion. We can testify about everything that God has done in our lives, but the main purpose must always be to glorify the protagonist of our testimonies: the risen Christ (Acts 17:3). On numerous occasions I have witnessed how those who have an experience with the Almighty God receive boldness, and their words are filled with sureness and conviction. Today, the Lord wants to give you a genuine experience with Him, and fill you with His presence, boldness, love and power.
