... Finding His Will for us.
Father, I thank You for being so AWESOME. Lord, many times, I wish I could invent more words to describe who You are. Truth be told, I don't think anyone here or even in Heaven (maybe except Jesus) know the fullness of who You are. Thank you for allowing us the privilege to seek You, to find You, and to have a relationship with You. We love You and we thank You for speaking to our hearts as You reveal more of Yourself to us.
I must begin this blog by putting satan on Front Street. I have loved God since I was a little child and most of my life since then, I have been trying to "get" God to love me with my damaged ways. I am not putting myself down. I am just saying it like it is. We are a product of a fallen world and we have fallen ways. We crave love and we desire love, yet we can't seem to get it right. So, I would come to God and try to love Him using my ways. My ways included manipulation and emotional coercion. I would think, "Maybe if I was super good, I could get God to love me more" or "Maybe if I did extra things to be nice and perfect, I could earn brownie points with God and He would bless me." or get this "I am so pitiful God and worthless, will You come rescue me out of my mess?" (please note that I am referring to post salvation). You may not have said those same exact words, but this illustrates how people think. These are a learned behaviors and no one is to be condemned for it. There is just a better way, a right way to love God. Now God, through His Holy Spirit is showing me this better way to love Him.
The Lord spoke to me about a month ago about "finding" Him. He told me that I need to understand WHO I am. I can't love Him if I don't love myself and love is always rooted in the knowledge of Truth. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't have self esteem problems, but I realize that I fall short in my self image. My perspective is tainted and broken. I have been viewing, judging myself out my own eyes.
Did you know that science has found that we as humans use less than 5% of our brain? (Some people, I believe, use less than that). Now understanding this information about our physical capacity, let's see the ramifications of what we do. We form and accept opinions, thoughts, ideas, and conceptions about who we are and we seal and stamp our character as "DONE" "COMPLETE" or "FINISHED" when the reality is that we have not begun to scratch the surface of who we really are. I can relate it to building a car. An important part of the car is the engine (the heart of the car). When engineerers finalize the design of an engine, prototypes are made, and perhaps the first production run is complete, it would be foolish for them to say, "Ok, this is it. This is the best thing we have made and now the car is complete." Yes, the engine works properly and is a integral fundamental piece of the car, but it's useless without the rest of the car. The engine would never fulfill its original purpose without the rest of the picture. This example makes an obvious illustration of what mankind does.
Another way to illustrate this mindset that we have is to imagine trying to look through a lens that's smudged, broken, cracked, distorted to try to see a picture clearly and at its true representation. It's impossible. The only solution is to change the lens to a PERFECT prescription. Only then can the true image show and in turn be appreciated.
The solution to "seeing our true image" is to see out of God's Eyes. We need a higher perspective and this perspective can only come through spiritual revelation from Holy Spirit. This is very possible and showing you how to do that is the purpose for this Blog series. My intention is to provide infomation, scriptures, and revelatory knowledge to assist those who are seeking to find WHO they are, to uncover their purpose in this life and the life to come, and to learn how to love God with their FULL potential.
KEY: God created a physical world from a spiritual world.
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." Genesis 1:3-4
When a construction foreman reads the blueprint for a new structure, he knows and understands that before he can start on the building, he needs to lay a solid foundation first. From what I understand about construction, a large percentage of the building fees is spent on the constructing the building's foundation (both in materials and labor). The foundation is very important. It needs to be made of solid, reliable, and durable material. It must be laid properly and it must be given the perfect amount of time to set. These human architects get these concepts from the Supreme Architect because God did it first.
Now, I truly believe that God laid the foundation of the world in verse 3 when He called forth Light. Now God used the most expensive stuff He had, the most reliable material He could find, and the most durable substance available in eternity to build the foundations of the World. Himself. It is hard to imagine this in our carnal (earthly, physical) minds. We need spiritual revelation to understand spiritual things. Ask Holy Spirit to reveal this to you.
"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5
You see, God, being pure love only knows how to do things out of love. We have learned to use the word "pure" to emphasize the authenticity of love because we have perverted it so much in "this" world, but God is love. He wanted to create a perfect world and He would only use perfect materials. So, He spoke (which by default can never be a lie, because when He speaks, it must happen) and pulled out of Himself, Light. He laid the foundation of the World in light. Then, God can't help but admire just how GOOD it is.
Dictionary.com defines good as "morally excellent; virtuous; righteous; satisfactory in quality, quantity, or degree, of high quality; excellent"
"And God saw the light, that it was good." Genesis 1:4
God qualified His light as He acknowledged that is was good and stamped its character into eternity. When God speaks, He cannot go back on His Word.
"God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Numbers 23:19
So, another important KEY to understanding God's Will for us is to KNOW that God spoke and created a physical World out of a Spiritual World (Himself).
An additional Key is to understanding God's Will for us is to KNOW that God will always move in accordance to His Word. http://anunendinglovestory.blogspot.com/2011/06/gods-will-for-us.html
Father, I thank You again for Your Glorious truths. You are so amazing God. Thank You for revealing these truths to us continually, all day, every day. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit that will lead us into all truth. We love You Lord. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." John 16:13
