Some personal notes from the "Experiencing God", study by Henry T. Blackaby & Claude V. King. THese are my personal notes and not exactly like within the study guide.

Notes 1-

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

The life of this study is that you may know God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent. Knowing God is a relationship and not programs or methods.

The authors true desire is for you to move into relationship with God so that you may experience all His abundant life offers.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Relationship with Christ is a prerequisite to the abundant life described in the above scripture. You must feel led to have that intimate relationship with Christ, and if you feel a need to accept Him now, please review the following scripture.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
( All have sinned)

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
( eternal life is a gift from God)

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
( Because of His love Jesus paid the price for your sins)

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
( Confess Jesus as Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead)

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
( Whoever calls upon His name shall be saved)

You may have been frustrated because you know God has a more abundant life for you than your former Christian experience has allowed. You may be desiring God's direction in your life. You may have experienced tragedy with a broken life. Whatever the circumstance the author wishes you to be able to-

hear when God is speaking to you
clearly identify God's activity in your life
believe Him to be and do all He promises
adjust your behavior, beliefs and character to His ways
see the direction He is taking you in your life
clearly know how to respond to His direction
experience God doing through you what only He can do

This is all impossible through this study but with God all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Ask your teacher to be the Holy Spirit, who will teach you all things-

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
