How Can I Come to Know the God You Serve?

You are the one who asked, “How can I come to know the God you serve?”  I understand your earnest question and I will provide you an answer.  I don’t know who you are.  I don’t know where you have been or what you have endured, good or bad.  But I tell you a truth, none of those things matter.  Though they make you who you are today, I know that He is able to make you into who you are not today.  Yet, isn’t this why you asked?

The Lord has remained hidden from man because it is His desire that all who seek Him should approach their search through faith.  We are expected to believe God.  And doubt, though part of our long lists of sins, will never be a welcome visitor in His presence.  Read the Bible.  Pray for the wisdom to understand.  Believe what you read.  And respond with actions you know are necessary. 

This is your answer.  Did you expect more?  Are you looking for something you can do to gain what you do not have?  You will find nothing in you that’s acceptable to the Lord of Hosts.  This ownership belongs to Jesus alone.   And if the Lord, Himself, were to ask you to do something at the top of your ability you would strive to do it.  Why then, shouldn’t you be willing to simply believe Him?  This all He asks, for He will never allow any man to claim that God owes Him anything.  God alone will receive praise forever.  And man will be the one to give that praise. 

You do not answer to me.  I am no one to answer to.  You will answer to Him alone.  And what you do with this answer is between you and the Lord.  He is enough to secure your eternity.   He is willing to walk with you right where you are now.  The question is not, “Is God willing to love me?”  The question is, are you willing to believe what He has already promised.   And if you can’t believe, at least tell Him about it.  Begin somewhere.  Or you go nowhere.

By His Grace.

Ah! The Horror of Who I am.


KJV Bible

I have seen, with a meager eye, that it is the Lord who gives life.  He quickens the mind.  It is the Lord who allows the heart to beat one more beat.  He alone allows things to flourish.  And it will never be that anything shall exist without His permission and support.

What I see in a moment quickly fades behind my pride and wickedness.  But what I saw remains a memory, fit to teach.  Be humble before the Lord, we are commanded.  Yet our pride rises up from the depths of sin.  We wrongly think to ourselves, “I will rise up to worship the Lord Most High”.  Yet, what strength do you have that was not given to you by the One you desire to rise up and worship?  How foolish and futile are the thoughts man has of what is pure and eternal? 

It is given to man that he should call out to the One who gives life.  It is not given to man to create anything.  It is given to us, simply to obey the One who makes all things.  And to show how futile the ways of man are, even as I type these words I hear my wicked heart balk at such things.  “No!  I am sufficient to myself!  I can survive without humility before the Lord of Hosts!  ‘I am, therefore I am’, says pride. 

What a hopeless condition is the plight of man.  Locked forever in a battle of leadership against the Lord God who made us, this is my lot.  Unless hope comes from The Lord Himself, we have no hope.  Unless the God of eternity relents and extends mercy we are lost.  For He is eternal and we are but a flash of putrid folly. 

All who consider their plight with wisdom will see what has been spoken here.  They will encounter that hideous sin within them.  And they will be caused to abhor their condition.  What shall we do?  We are left with one reaction.  And this is the design of God for man.  We will fall on our face and beg for sight.  “Have mercy, O Lord God of All, for we perish in our own vomit!  We are full and over flowing with hatred, pride, envy, and slander.  And woe to us!  For there is no remedy within us.”  And to add horror to horror, we realize that this is the plight of every man from birth!

Do not allow yourself to think that you are “mostly good”.  There is no sin in the Most High God!  And He will not allow anything impure to live forever.  If you find one misstep within you, that is sin.  And you are held accountable for it.  Nothing impure will ever stand before the Most High God.  Therefore, if there is found in you even one item of impurity, you will not stand.   Only what is God will enter eternity.  Do not allow yourself to be fooled by your pride.  “All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God”.  Wether you believe this or not makes no difference.  It is a truth that will survive your destruction.   Be wise and consider the Holiness of God before you are forced to encounter Him come that day of judgment.  For it is surely coming.  And nothing but what is God will survive.

There are those who will read this and say, “I hate this message!  I hate all you self-righteous Christians!  I hate everything you say!  And if I could, I would wipe you off the face of this earth!”  So be it.  What was spoken here is truth.  And if you do not accept it, it remains truth.  All men are liars, but God alone is true.

Woe to the pride of man.  Woe to all who allow it to be their god.  Woe to all who spurn the sacrifice of Jesus.  And woe to everyone who loves sin more than the Holiness of God!   Woe to us all, but for the sacrifice of the Son of God!  Consider your ways and search yourself.  Then, if you still think you are blameless, allow the Father of Life to examine you.  Read the Bible.  Pray for understanding.  And He will show you your folly.  Nothing unholy will ever enter the presence of God!  If you reject the Son, you reject the Father.  And, in the end, it is you who will be rejected.

You think that those who grovel at the feet of the Most High God are the foolish ones in this world?  You will be rudely exposed come that day.  Nothing is hidden from the sight of the Lord.  And there is a Day when He will speak with pure clarity regarding the nature of man.  All men will hear the voice of God.  All men will perceive His Holiness.  And all men will be exposed for what they have done in regard to this message.

Be wise and consider your plight.  For that same plight rests on every man, woman and child.  Humble yourselves before the Lord of Hosts and beg for understanding.  Then, when you have received a portion of understanding, beg for more.  God is deadly serious regarding the nature of man.  And when He says that few will find the eternal hope, He is not joking or making speculation.  Strive with all you have to become one of those few.  “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.  Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’  But He will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’”  (Luke 13: 24, 25)

I beg you as one who is among you.  Seek the Lord while you remain in this place of blindness.  The day will dawn and there will be no place to hide.  Seek Him that you might become light now.  For there is no shadow of turning within the Lord God Almighty!  And there will never be.  Believe and be saved.  Reject this message and perish! 

We are of those who are stricken with sin!  God has designed a place and a One which can save us.  But how very few come to an understanding of what is True.  I beg you, don’t allow these words to fall to the ground at your feet.  Take heed!  The time is passing right before your eyes!  And we will all give account of ourselves before the Majesty that is God.

Father, bless this word to those You choose.  All things are Yours.  You are Holy!  And there is absolutely NO shadow of turning from purity within You.  I deposit these words among the throng of my fellow men.  By Your Holy Grace, may Your will be done forever.  And may all who hate you remain in their hatred.  May all who seek You find the Hope You have provided.

God, the Father, has ordained an end to this place of testing.  And He has ordained a day for every man to seek His Face.  This is your day.  Do not say to yourself, “perhaps there is another”.  All who call upon the name of Jesus will be saved.  But this “calling” must be sincere; born of a heart aware of its plight.  He will judge the living and the dead.  And many will weep and wail at the judgment placed against them.  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly.  May the Father’s will forever be done!  Amen
