Knowing God is an Engaging Process

Growing in God?

As we follow on to know Him, we will increase in our awareness of His presence, involvement, and His character in our lives. In our spirits, who we truly are, we are already as mature as we are ever going to get. What DOES change in us is only the appearance of God Himself to and through us. We are not really growing, or reaching the “next level.” But our experience of knowing God personally brings us more and more into dependence on Him, where He is more and more clearly and easily revealed to and through us. So though it may appear we are “growing” in Him, it is simply that He is increasingly apparent, and in comparison, that which we are, even that which was created by Him and is pleasing to Him, pales in His brightness.

Can We Understand God?

The more we experience His Eternal Life, Knowing Him, we begin to get on the same wavelength with Him. As we grow in our dependence on Him, we become activated by Him. As our soul and body align with our spirit, His River of Life flows through us unhindered; our behavior begins to line up with our identity. So not only do we experience freedom, healing and dependence in our own being, but we become available and engaged, enthusiastic and sacrificing, to bring His life to those in need according to His plan. So as knowing God is developing that personal relationship with Him on all levels, Knowing His Ways, understanding Him is sharing His goals, desires, and activities here on this earth: Doing His Acts.

Knowing God is a Process

You have not passed this way before, nor has anyone else. The path God has for you is for you alone! Though you can learn from others’ experiences, and it is advisable to do so, your teacher, counselor, guide and encourager is Jesus Himself. So give yourself time—be patient with yourself. You’re exactly where God wants you to be, and He will not let you miss out on anything He has for you.
