Knowing God Personally - Word Power by Patriciah Babu

Why Knowing God Personally Is Important

More than religion. More than rules. It’s about relationships.

For a long time, many people go through life knowing about God—hearing about Him in church, reading verses, maybe even quoting Scripture. But that’s not the same as knowing God personally. And once you truly know Him—not just as a name, but as a friend, a Father, a guide—everything changes.

Here’s why that personal connection matters so much:

1. Because Religion Alone Can’t Hold You

Church attendance, memorized prayers, and even good behavior can only take you so far. When life hits hard—when you’re grieving, confused, or overwhelmed—it’s not religion that comforts you.
It’s relationship.

It’s the difference between saying, “I’ve heard God is a healer” vs. “I’ve experienced Him healing me.”
That personal knowing gives you a foundation that won’t crack when storms come.

2. Because God Isn’t Distant—He’s Present

Knowing God personally means you talk to Him. You hear from Him. You feel His peace in your ordinary days.

He’s not just “up there in the clouds.” He’s in your kitchen while you cook. On your mind while you drive. Whispering wisdom when you feel lost. Laughing with you in your wins. Holding you when words fail.

That’s not theory. That’s reality—when you really know Him.

3. Because It Changes Who You Are

When you know God personally, you don’t just “follow rules.”
You start to reflect Him.

  • You forgive differently because you’ve been forgiven.

  • You love differently because you’ve felt His love.

  • You carry peace that doesn’t make sense to others—because He put it there.

It’s not just behavior change. It’s a heart shift.

4. Because You’ll Need a Solid Anchor

Life is unpredictable. People disappoint. Plans fail. But knowing God personally gives you a constant. A compass. An anchor.

You stop living in fear of the unknown because you know the One who goes before you.
You stop tying your worth to people’s opinions because you know who calls you chosen.

5. Because It's What You Were Made For

We were never designed to just “exist” or “perform.” We were made for communion—with the One who made us. There’s a hole in the human heart that only God can fill. Everything else—success, money, relationships—can’t touch that space.

Knowing God personally brings that missing piece into place. It gives your life meaning beyond the moment.

Final Thought

Knowing God personally doesn’t mean you have all the answers.
It means you’re walking with the One who does.

It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being connected.
It’s not about following rules—it’s about trusting His heart.
And it’s not just for pastors, or church elders, or “spiritual” people.

It’s for you. Right now. As you are.

The door is open. And once you walk in, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it..

  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting. So I thought—let’s unpack this properly. Tonight, I want us to look at both sides of the age gap coin : When the woman is older When the man is older   We’ll look at benefits , challenges , some biblical perspective , and even what research says about this. Because at the end of the day, age might be just a number—but maturity, purpose, and vision are what make a...

When She Finally Understood His Role...

  "When She Finally Understood His Role..." A story every couple needs to hear As a relationship coach and mentor, I’ve walked with many couples through seasons of frustration, misunderstanding, and silent tension. But one story still sticks with me—because it mirrors the unspoken struggles so many homes are facing today. Let me tell you about James and Lydia. The Marriage That Was "Fine"—But Fading When James and Lydia came to me, they weren’t on the verge of divorce. No drama, no scandal, just… distance. Lydia felt emotionally abandoned. James felt misunderstood and tired. They were doing life together—raising kids, managing bills, going to church—but the connection was thinning out. Lydia put it like this: “Coach, he’s a good man. But he’s not present. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t help as much as I need. I feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone.” When I asked James how he saw things, he said something that stopped me: “I don’t know what else to do, Coach. I w...

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man By Coach Davie Lisa didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She loved Caleb. He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
