KNOWING INFORMATION WITHOUT EXPERENCE IS NOT TRUTH 12-3-17
VIDEO HELLO COULD I SPEAK TO GOD 2
Experience means the apprehension of something grabbing a hold of something, like an object, thought, or emotion for yourself. Something you participate in or live through. Paul wants to experience for himself the resurrection life. He has the knowledge of what Jesus did but he wants a personal experience. We can have knowledge of the Holy Spirit but we also have to have an encounter with him. David had knowledge of God but he desired to experience of him face to face. When people have an experience it is passed down and recorded it from generation to generation. God is waiting for all mankind to experience him for themselves. The father wants all of us to experience his glory as a part of our calling.
Heb 2:9 But we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners] He might experience death for every individual person. AMP
Heb 5:9 And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him, AMP
Gal 1:3 So I greet you with the great words, grace and peace!
4 We know the meaning of those words because Jesus Christ rescued us from this evil world we're in by offering himself as a sacrifice for our sins. God's plan is that we all experience that rescue. MSG
Gal 4:4 But when the time arrived that was set by God the Father, God sent his Son, born among us of a woman, born under the conditions of the law so that he might redeem those of us who have been kidnapped by the law.
5 Thus we have been set free to experience our rightful heritage. MSG

PAUL Phil 3:11 That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].
12 Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own.
13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. AMP

Phil 3:11 If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it.

13 Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward to Jesus.
14 I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. MSG
