One of the first experiences I had on coming to this organisation, at its inception in the late 1930’s, was feeling myself linked to God as if by a current of electricity. There was just this stream of electricity flowing directly from God to me. It was such an exhilarating experience that I knew that all I wanted to do was turn myself and my life over to God completely. Later, I began to feel as if God Himself had taken hold of my hand, and that it was He who was making me move forward. I still feel that way today. I feel His company constantly, and that the hand of His blessings is always on my head.My experience is that you cannot see God with these physical eyes and you cannot understand God with a limited, gross intellect. Rather, God needs to be recognised, which is something far more revelatory than mere ‘seeing’ or philosophical understanding. ‘Recognition’ is not as much a matter of the physical brain as much as it is one of the heart. When the heart ‘sees’ God, when the heart ‘knows’ God, then there can be recognition. So recognition comes from feelings, experiences and understandings from the heart.
