do you think that we can know God is a practical experimental way in our lives?

If you're speaking of our experience or interaction with Him, absolutely.

Without it one can never begin to "know" God, within a personal relationship.

I'd say it's probably the biggest reason why people don't truly know God.  They don't have any daily, personal experiences or interaction with Him.

A lot of people have some head knowledge of God, but it ends right there.   :-[

yes, God is experiential, but many times He trains us to walk by faith whether we 'feel' or see His hand on us or not.

Depends on what you mean, if you mean living on a holy high all day then probably not. We have to go through valleys and mountain top experiences as we walk with God.

I should probably clarify what i mean. When you read about great men in the bible it seems that they are alwasy in communion with God and see his hand in everything in their lives.

My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me:

Are you born again? Do you follow Jesus? Do you hear His voice? Do you pray? Have you read His inspired word?

I think it absurd to say God is experimental. Try is before you buy it is what a car salesman says.

no, you miss my meaning sam. By experimental i mean that he is experienced in youre life and not just a character in a book!

I have never had a close a friend as I have with Jesus. Do I get prayers answered? YES. And I do hear His voice and yes; daily and daily talks and walks and fellowship just as though He is sitting here beside me.

I am nothing special nor a great man. All HIs children are the same. Jesus loves me this I know.
