Dear Friend,

I can’t tell you the number of times that people come up to me and ask the question, “Is God real?” Even in church, it seems that some people have spent many years reading about Him and singing about Him, but aren’t really sure if God even exists. Others have become weary of the burdens of daily living and have thrown in the towel, as far as their commitment to God. “He might exist, but He doesn’t seem that interested in me or my troubles.”

You see, for many of us, our sense of reality is rooted in our personal experience. What we can see, hear, taste, touch and smell holds more of what we call reality than anything else. Since we can’t see Him with our eyes or hear Him with our ears, how can we be sure He’s even real?

But God wants you to know today that there is a reality beyond your five senses. In 1 Corinthians 13:12, Paul writes, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.” In other words, our experiences today pale in comparison to the experiences that await us when we spend eternity with God. 

None of that means we can’t experience God in a personal way. God reveals Himself to all of creation, and He greatly desires to have a personal relationship with you. And the benefits of experiencing Him are immeasurable. God gives us spiritual wisdom to prevent us from making wrong turns on life’s roads. He gives us spiritual deliverance from life’s crises—His formidable power to all those who feel worn out and want to give up so that they don’t have to be owned by their problems.

It is my prayer for you that God will strengthen you, fill you with His wisdom and deliver you from crisis. This is how Christians can experience God’s fullness every day. For those who submit themselves to obeying Him and dedicate themselves to hearing His voice through the reading of His Word, they benefit from a greater degree of closeness to Him.

You can find out more about the rewards of the divine experience by listening to my 8-message CD series entitled The Benefits of Experiencing God, made available to you for your gift of any amount to our ministry. I am excited to share this with you and will be praying that the fullness of God be made available to you as you pursue a personal relationship with Him!

For the King and His kingdom,

Letter of Blessing

“I wanted to say thank you for blessing me, my family and our men’s group at church through the Kingdom Man book and Bible study. I learned and grew so much from this series, not only how to be a better man of God, but also a better husband and father. We also have a member of our men’s group that taught this study at Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge, which is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. We have seen and heard incredible life-changing results. This book has changed my life. Growing up with an un-kingdom man as a father, I cannot thank you enough for the changes in my life and family. Blessings to you and your ministry.”
