Christian author Henry Blackaby in his book Experiencing God discusses 7 realities for experiencing God which he believes are crucial to knowing and doing the will of God.
I have created the acronym WRITE to help people remember them.
- Work – God is always at work around us.
- Relationship – God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
- Invites and talks to you – God invites you to become involved with him in his work. God speaks by the Holy Spirit through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church to reveal himself, his purposes, and his ways.
- Turning point/Crisis. God’s invitation for you to work with him always leads to a turning point (or crisis of belief) that requires faith and action. You must make major adjustments in your life to join God in what he is doing.
- Experience.You come to experience God as you obey him and he accomplishes his work through you.
