Who GOD Is!


Who GOD Is!

We do not understand the Love of GOD because we do not understand GOD. We do not know the height, the breadth, the depth of GOD’s Love because we do not understand the height, the breadth and the depth of GOD. We cannot comprehend the fullness of what GOD is therefore we cannot understand the fullness of who GOD is.

We think of GOD as the Father, The Son and the Spirit (Holy Spirit) and He is; yet He is the One True GOD. We think of ourself as body, soul and spirit and we are; yet everywhere we go we are all there; no part of us is one place and another someplace else unless we are dead; then our body stays where it is we are no longer joined to it.

Wherever GOD is the Father, Son and Spirit are always there! GOD is everywhere and all things are in Him, made by Him and made for Him. We think of GOD as Father GOD sitting on His Throne in Heaven and Jesus Christ His Son as Sitting on His Throne at the right side of the Father; we think of GOD’s Spirit as living in us (every believer) and they all are. So how can the Father and the Son be in one place and yet the Spirit is in every believer? The Bible tells us that when Jesus was on the earth as a man (the Son of GOD, Son of Man) that He was the fullness of the GODhead (Father, Son and Spirit)!

Jesus Christ the Son of GOD, the Son of Man was the fullness of the GODhead while He was alive in the flesh on the earth! So where were the Father and the Spirit? They were with Jesus as one human being AND all three of them were everywhere in creation at the same time.

We are made in the image of GOD but we are not like GOD. Being an image of GOD we should reflect who and what GOD is; He is Love, He is Truth, He is Righteousness, He is Holy and He is triune! BUT we can only do that as one being in the one place where we are!

We have to stop thinking of GOD like we think of ourselves as He Himself said, “You think I Am like you but I Am not. My ways are not your ways, My thoughts are not your thoughts!” Also throughout the Bible we are told “to be holy as He is Holy”, we are His children and the servants of His eternal Kingdom; starting in the natural realm and moving to the spiritual realm. After the Cross, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus we are told to be conformed to the Image of Christ; that does not mean that we become Him but we become like Him a reflection of who and what He is. How do we do this? By the power of His resurrection through the fellowship of His suffering being conformed to His death. Wow!

When we become a believer life stops being about who we are and what we want (the flesh or natural life); it becomes about who GOD created us to be (born again equals new creation) and what He wants us to do, when, where and how!

We have to start thinking and speaking about GOD in the Grandness of Who and What He is and stop limiting our thinking and speaking of Him by our self-mindedness. GOD is greater than anything we can imagine or even dream of so we must honor Him by not limiting what He can do and what He does. He creates everything from nothing and it holds together and works perfectly because He wills it. That is why Jesus told us to, “Seek His Righteousness and His Kingdom first,” and to pray asking for GOD’s “Will to be done in the earth as it is in Heaven.”

This means GOD is not at our beck and call and our timeframe is not His timeframe. GOD created time for humanity and humanity for His own will and purpose. In eternity time as we know it will not exist, GOD’s plan was from before the beginning of time the Bible says that “Christ was crucified before the foundations of the earth were laid.”

As long as we think self-mindedly we will not be able to think of GOD and experience GOD as He is and wants us to.

Read, study and meditate on His Word to the world (the Bible); listen to His Spirit as He does what Jesus said He would do, teach us and remind us of everything Jesus said and did. GOD wants you to know Him and have eternal life. Jesus, in the fullness of the GODhead said that, “Eternal life is to know the One True GOD and Jesus Christ whom He sent.”

We can only do this by seeking Him first and above everything else! GOD does want His best for us, not the world’s best, not what we think is best but His Best. We can only get it by going through the process that He has determined that we must go through, not the process that someone else has gone through but what He knows that we need to process through.

Stop being a self-made Christian and surrender your will to the Father and His Love, Light and Life in and through you will be the result of the process. We must say and obey, “Father, not my will but Yours be done in me.” Amen!
