I had a great time at Amana Christian Fellowship last night discussing “Knowing God.” Thanks to all of you who made it. I hope you enjoyed it and, more importantly, got something out of it. If you couldn’t be there you might enjoy listening to the session.
I began with a discussion based on my blog post, The Miracle of Knowing God.
We are really intimidated by the thought of spending time “in the holy of holies.” It certainly is a privilege available only through a miracle.
But God is eager waiting to visit with us. It keeps coming back to me how often Jesus spoke of Prayer and Faith. Prayer is talking to God. Faith is trusting what He reveals to us. Consider how Jesus stressed to his disciples that knowing him, Jesus, was knowing the Father.
It’s vital to know God because it’s the only way we can know ourselves. No one else will honestly show us who we are. We walk through life carrying labels that the world and it’s ruler has placed on us. We all bear lies that weaken our resolve, crush our ambition, and cripple our mission.
I love Jason Gray’s “Remind Me Who I Am.” We wrapped up with it last night. I poignant reminder that knowing God leads to knowing ourselves and then to recognizing that there’s a world out there that needs this knowledge desperately to overcome a lifetime of lying labels.
Be blessed.
As always, comments are appreciated.
