We have received . . . the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God —1 Corinthians 2:12
Most of us know someone (maybe the man in the mirror) who has run from place to place looking for spiritual experience. Rallies, retreats, and revivals are all great, as are mission trips and ministry where God moves. These experiences can excite and encourage our faith; but can not be the basis of our faith.
Faith based on experience is not faith; faith based on God’s revealed truth is the only faith there is. Faith grows fed by the day-to-day movement of God and the working out of His revealed truth in our lives.
Praise God when He blesses you with mountain top experience; but praise Him also as He walks with you through the valleys in victory and joy.
