There are experiencing you can never get and will never experience unless you get it from God and the reason is God has experiences that no eyes have seen, nor ears have heard (1 Corinthians 2:9). And if you're not getting these experience, it's like owning a mansion and never knowing what you have inside.
Step inside your mansion
What God offers is far greater than anything you can imagine. It may not become obvious at first because you need to yield and go deeper to get it. But if you're not experiencing this abundance, you're missing out.
It's like owning a mansion but never stepping inside. You wouldn't realize the breathtaking decor, the exquisite furniture, or the personal chef ready to serve you. You wouldn't see the pool, the Jacuzzi, or the luxury vehicles parked in your garage, or the cleaning service maintaining your home. All of these incredible blessings are yours, yet you wouldn't enjoy them because you’ve never entered the mansion to explore.
This is what it's like when you have God in your life, but fail to go deeper, seek His presence, or discover the blessings He has prepared for you. You’re missing out—and it’s time to step inside and experience all that He has in store.
Our adversary wants us to believe that this type of life is impossible, but the enemy is a liar. God’s truth exposes every falsehood. The truth is there, but the enemy attempts to cloud our minds, veiling us from God's truth (2 Corinthians 4:4).
The Flavor of God
Growing closer to God is like experiencing a unique flavor that others can't taste. Imagine everyone enjoying a meal, savoring its rich flavors, yet you receive an extra, distinct taste that no one else can taste. This is what it's like to deepen your relationship with God. His encounters and rewards are unlike anything else, offering something truly special that only comes from Him.
Since this extraordinary flavor comes solely from God, His rewards and experiences can only be fully tasted, felt, seen, and heard from Him. This is why finding relatable examples of these experiences can be difficult and challenging because they can only be personally experienced.
As with other experiences, only by experiencing it firsthand can you truly understand what someone else is going through.
Experience God for yourself
When you see photos of food, it causes a spike in your appetite that creates hunger enticing you to want to eat. But if all you can do is see the food and do not taste it, then you will not know how truly savoring the food is.
When you travel or go on amazing trips, you can taste, feel, smell, and enjoy the experience firsthand. Those experiences create lasting memories and will affect you in a way that pictures or videos cannot do. And as effective as a video or photo is in encouraging you to travel, it will never replace being there.
Do not be limited to another person's view of an adventure. When you live life vicariously, you are experiencing something indirectly, making someone else's encounters feel like your own. But move from the place of curiosity to knowing.
It is like reading a romantic book. Your thoughts are captivated as the words take you to places you can almost feel, sensing the romance, suspense, and appeal. But as emotionally satisfying as the book may be, all it will be is a book, a good read, and a fantasy. It will only be a mental image until you meet that person who will take it from imagination to reality. And it is the same with God. And Excerpt from It's Ok To Be Single.
We can never obtain it ourselves
Our role as believers is to live in a way that allows non-believers to see these experiences and want them for themselves. But the only way to achieve this is by spending time with God, submit to Him, and allow Him to work in us so we can be useful to Him and show to the world how wonderful He is.
Submitting to God is different from submitting to anyone else because, quite simply, God loves us unconditionally, and His love will never hurt us. He sacrificed Himself so we could have the abundant life He promised (John 10:10). Therefore, while submitting to God like Jesus did, you too will find the joy (Hebrews 12:2-3) in submitting, experience the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), be set free by His truth (John 8:32, John 14:6), given His wisdom, understanding, experience satisfaction, be transform (2 Corinthians 5:17), and know what it is to be fulfilled, and so much more!
God offers far more than we can imagine (1 Corinthians 2:9), but we must go deeper to receive it. His encounters and rewards are beyond comparison, and our lives should reflect it and inspire others to seek Him too, so they can get on His path of love, joy, peace, and fulfillment.
Don’t miss out and don't let the enemy keep you in the dark—seek the truth and step into the abundant life God has designed for you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you
James 4:8 states, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you..." There is a place in the Lord where dreams, visions, encounters, miracles, and supernatural events become commonplace because, for believers, the Kingdom of God resides within us.
God wants you to become aware of a world full of life and vitality, but you must follow Jeremiah 29:13 and seek Him. When you seek God, He will lead you into these extraordinary experiences that are available only to those who pursue Him. The barrier preventing us from entering His realm disappears when we seek, desire, search, and long to be with Him.
God wants us to explore His world, so go ahead and explore it. It will be worth your time!

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
