I want to see God Part 2
QUOTE
John 14:7 (NIV)If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
The keyword is "FROM NOW ON".
In Hosea 4:6, God says, my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
This is very true of today among the body of Christ.
Many of us still have this wrong idea of who God is.
Some See Him as a Old Man with White beard and hair.
Some See Him as a grumpy Old Man, make the wrong move and out come his "Rotan".
Some See Him as Judgmental God.
People have all kind of ideas. But as Christians how do wee see God?
Jesus says FROM NOW ON, you know Him and have seen Him. And the apostle Phillip got confused and asked, Show us the Father.
Many times even as Christians we are like that. We see God differently as a Person of different character from Christ.
And yet Jesus says from now on you know Him. Why?
We need to see God as how Jesus wants us to see God. Who was with Phillip when He said "show us the father"?
Answer = Jesus.
How Jesus is, is exactly HOW the Father is. (John 14:9)
Study the first 4 gospels, about the Life of Christ. Personally I find Jesus as the most Gentle of Hearts and yet Regal and Kingly but yet He never hurts anyone. At the Garden when the Soldier wanted to capture Him, peter draw out his sword and yet Jesus told him to put it back. In another place when one of the High Priest officer slap Jesus and He did not retaliated. And another, when he was spit upon and hit in the Face, bleeding and swollen, yet He did not retaliated......you get the idea. That is how our Heavenly Father is!
Jesus says, Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
In another place, He says: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Do you see the word Gentle and Humble? Do you see how concern God is with you based on this few verses?
And Yet many time we think God is too busy to be concern of our petty needs. We only come to Him when all else fails and we think it only matters for the HUGE and IMPORTANT stuff.
We carry the pain and burden on our own, holding on against the pain as long as we can.
To really know God, you need to agree and tell yourself "From now on" How you're going to see God the Father is how you see Jesus Christ.
When you hold on to that kind of affirmation, The Holy Spirit will reveal revelation after revelation of God to you.
When you let go of all prejudice and misunderstanding of who God is and come to the place, AGREEING with what scripture says about Jesus as being the
Exact representative of the Father, you will have an unshakable Faith, firm in the foundation. On the Rock of Jesus Christ, the gates of Hell shall not prevail.
You will have that victory for so long you only hear of. Now it's yours.
God Bless!
