I have a question for ya, but first some background information.
I'm 18, I got saved when I was 5. I attend a "Church of God" church. I got the baptism of the Holy Ghost when I was about 13. I read my Bible almost everyday and I pray everyday.
My question is... I know God is so big we could never understand all of Him, but how do I learn and experience more of him? Any suggestions?

I seemed to plateau out at the age of 20. I had been a Christian for a few years and just kind of sailed along on whatever people fed me. In short, they carried me. I eventually figured out that it was time to start working at this thing called spirituality. They most important thing I did was begin to pray the prayer found in Ephesians 1.
Eph 1:16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Paul was praying for the Ephesians, but you can pray this for yourself!
Change the "you" to me "and" the "your" to "my".
"....give unto
me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of
my understanding being enlightened; that
I may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, ..."
This really revolutionized my walk with God. I began to see... really see!... what the Word is all about, who Jesus is, who we are, what is really going on. Not mere theology... but spiritual understanding... which is the stuff that faith and love is made of.
Hope this helped.
