That is no quick question, ...Thanks so much Andrew! <br>That is no quick question, that is an excellent question! Since God is a supernatural being I don't think there is a difference, but I think I know what you mean. For me, before I had a revelation of pure grace, I pursued God very differently because my mindset was different then. Before grace, I had a lot of wrong mentalities and I didn't know God's love for me and acceptance for me because I was under so much legalistic condemnation driven teaching. Once that began to lift and revelation came to me of my perfect righteousn status and who I am in Christ, I began to have encounters with God that were more personal and tangible. So, I think first our pursuance of God can only go deeper by the amount of ongoing revelation we have in the full truth of the Gospel and hearing Christ preached. Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ, and as we continually renew our minds with all the wonderful aspects of the glorious gospel, our minds will be transformed supernaturally. I can't tell you a method or formula and I have only just begun to know God in a more supernatural way so I am no expert other than my own personal experience. Hope this helps a little at least. Feel free to keep asking questions. Also, I highly recommend Bill Johnson's book, "The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind." I think you will find this book to go deeper with answering your question. I have it linked in books I highly recommend on the side. <br>Much much grace and peace to you and your family today!!!lydiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01495924200222561417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-139676684011582364.post-69473743544676908212008-07-07T04:14:00.000-04:002008-07-07T04:14:00.000-04:00I love your blog Lydia!! Thanks so much for sharin...I love your blog Lydia!! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us on line.<br><br>I have one quick question for you in relation to this post. What do you perceive to be the difference between pursuing a supernatural "experience" and pursuing God himself? (if there is a difference?) I suppose it comes down to how we define his "Presence"...or maybe even more specifically his "Manifest Presence".andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14216697845934961718noreply@blogger.com
