You familiar with the song, 'Amazing Grace' - I once was lost but now am found? Well, all you have to do is ask - ask God into your life, your mind, your heart. He never says no to anyone who asks, but first, you have to ask, to seek. Just pray! Curiosity alone is not sufficient, though. But it's a good starting place!

I don't understand why you care "how" you experience god if you say you already did. supposedly once you experience god you immediately "stop" asking questions and begin to focus on those who haven't experienced god in order to make them experience the same thing, problem is you run into ppl who have experienced a different god or who have never experienced god because god isn't real, then you have to have an inquisition or a crusade and torture or kill all those who don't see it your way. Please see your family doctor immediately and tell the doctor that you are having schizophrenic episodes related to "experiencing a god that isn't real". If you start hearing voices when you close your eyes and think really hard you're definitely in trouble.

There are many understandings and misunderstandings. To experience God is to experience life, His creation and the things that it does.
Have you ever seen a person smelling a rose? They are experiencing God. Now, don't mix up life and God, they are very different. Life was given by God, the way we live it is made by us. There is a point where you can let God lead it, but that is a different question.
Simple things are so complex, but they're looked over every day. The fact is that you experience God every day.
The question is, will you let Him experience you?
peace, love

God can touch anyone anyhow. The reason people can't explain is exactly what makes it so special.
God will have an effect where He is beleived in. That is a fact. Belief in God can create hope where there wasn't any, where theres no reason to think hope is worthwhile.
God can be in music or a beautiful view.
When God touches you it isn't like the lottery adverts (giant glittering hand out the sky). It is a feeling of love and peace and hope, an epiphany of a type.
It is often an amazing feeling, in what could be an ordinary sitiuation.

2 CHRONICLES 15:2 "The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and If ye seek him, he will Be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you"
To experience God we must praise and worship him, because God inhabit the praises of his people. This will bring us to the presence of God. However, very few people know how to enter into the presence of God. To experience God, you have to enter into the presence of God.
God is spirit., those who will come to HIm must worhsip him in spirit and in truth. in-Spirit – the worshippers must first be born of the Spirit and In-Truth – the worshippers must worship God according to His Word.

Maybe they felt that God communicated with them directly. Such contacts often lead to religious revelations. Maybe a non-believer or doubter will become a convert. It could be argued though that just by living one constantly "experiences" God eg in the sky, sun, rain, other people, animals etc.

You have to start by acknowledging God's existence, even if you don't believe yet. Don't be shy to ask Him: "God, how can I experience (know) you?" Or even: "God, if you exist, teach me how can I know you!"
If you are asking this just out of curiosity, it won't "work". You have to be honest to God.

The main way people experience God is by being convicted and filled with the Holy Spirit when they are saved- for the Bible says "Faith comes from hearing and by hearing the word of God" Romans 10:17
-Then many can also experience Him working in their lives. I have many times- not a "rush of good feeling" or anything but seeing Him work all things together- seeing Him answer prayers and comfort me through His word- speak to me through His word- speak to me through someone else! I have also felt God in nature- many times just being out in nature....I feel the presence of God- Ooooh and the best time I have experience God is when I see the sunlight shine down through a cloud- it reminds me of His glory- the rays of light. May sound cheesy, but I really do see God, and He gives me much faith in Him each time.

Well, as you were made in His image, just look in a mirror (regardless of your race) and you'll see God. It's as simple as that.

You experience God by doing something for God like feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, giving time to the lonely.
