God Invites

"What strikes me the greatest about
experiencing GOD, is the difference
between people that experience God
versus people with no God experience.
It seems that a person that has and is
experiencing God has a teachable
heart (work in progress).

A person with no God experience is
open to all values of the world with
not much discernment that the world
is influenced by sin and Satan."

2 Corinthians 5:19 God was
reconciling the world to himself in
Christ, not counting men’s sins
against them. And he has
committed to us the message of
reconciliation.

20 We are therefore Christ’s
ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us.

JESUS' PATTERN
John 5:17-20 Jesus said to them,
"My Father is always at his work to
this very day, and I, too, am
working..... I tell you the truth, the
Son can do nothing by himself; he
can do only what he sees his Father
doing,
![Page 9: 2012.10.21 Experiencing God - Part 3](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020116/55a954161a28ab90508b46ac/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
JESUS' PATTERN
because whatever the Father does
the Son also does. For the Father
loves the Son and shows him all he
does. Yes, to your amazement he
will show him even greater things
than these.
