What does it mean to know God personally?

 

No one can cast God out, and be either good—or happy.

You do not mean to tell me there is a personal God?

Yes, I do—

God is within every person who ever lives—or ever will live, and a person is a personality, is he not?

Consequently, there is a personal God—

Each person possesses Him—or Her—or It—

God possesses the person—

They are one and the same.

How about the Devil—

The Master of Hell?

I tell you, my friends, there is a great big devil, with hoofs and horns, and a forked tail, and all that—

He is the master of hell, as sure as you live—

He is a person, too, tempting every person who lives—or ever will live—

His ways are dark—

He goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour—

He is personal, for every person can make a devil of himself if he does not take heed to his steps and listen to the voice of good—or God.

I hope I have proved that there is a God—a Devil—a Hell—

They are all personal—

Within a person.
