God Is Jealous Over Each Of Us

What Knowing God is Not

Knowing God cannot necessarily be measured by what we’ve been taught by others. We can know all about a subject or person and never have experienced that subject or truly known that person at all. Even when a person passes along their experiences, because you are unique and God seeks a unique experience with you, sharing in another’s relationship with God is no substitute for developing your own relationship.

God Wants Us to Know Him

God is often misunderstood because we don’t know and understand why and how He does things. So we are unable to clearly hear His voice, understand His direction, or respond appropriately. Helping us to know and understand Him is high on His list, which should make it high on ours as well. Everything God has done historically has been in movement TOWARD a relationship with us. Since this is all His idea, there is a guarantee of success. He does not start things He hasn’t already completed in His Spirit reality.

You Already Want to Know God

Who we truly are, as spirit beings, already completely knows Him and is receiving His Life, living His eternal Life now. But our soul and body do not yet know Him on that same level. As we respond to God’s drawing, as we experience our need to know Him, God will bring to light those things that need to be healed, and those areas where we need to overcome. As our soul and body experience freedom and life, they are joined to our spirit which is already one with God.

How Do We Know God?

We start by asking Him to reveal Himself, acknowledging that He fully enabled us to know Him when He gave us a new heart at the Resurrection. So we already have the capability to know and understand, we just fail to put in the time and attention that any valuable endeavor deserves. As we follow on to know Him, we will increase in our awareness of His presence, involvement, and His character in our lives.
