KNOWING GOD AND KNOWING ABOUT HIM

When you read books or hear preachers you  can discern whether the person is talking about God or God. Knowing God personally is different from knowing about Him. God in the scriptures is a personal God who walked and talked with people. They have written about their personal encounters with God. Writing about God is just a copy of what it is to know God. When you know God then you talk about your personal journey with Him. When you know someone then you reveal it through your conversation. Knowing about someone is a projection of your own thoughts about that person. Therefore you are able to know and impart His Spirit when you know God. The knowledge that comes from a personal walk with God is different from a knowledge about Him. Knowing Him is to have life. Knowing about Him is like reading a book but not knowing what it really means. It is head knowledge versus heart knowledge. Paul decides to give up all his head knowledge and counted it as dung compared with the knowledge of knowing Him. The intimate knowledge of God results in a power and love that will move mountains. Seek after Him till you know Him and can feel His heart beat. This knowing is what will change the world.
