WHERE IS GOD?

A spirit’s first communication, communion etc is through its word.

You are not going to know God until you have received His Word. It was impossible for man – in his fallen state to have communion – so God sent His word in flesh and blood … and the world received him not.

People who had been with God never knew
Jesus’ disciples asked ‘Master show us the father?’ Jesus replied ‘Have you been with me this while and you do not know that he who has seen me has seen the father? Why do you now ask me to show you the father? (John 14:9).

Others required physical signs
Some still seek a relationship (with God) after the Old Testament style of carnal men, of which God said unto Moses, ‘…I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee forever... (Exo 19:9). They would not hear God, except by physically audible means.

Better days are here!
Unlike Bible days, God communicates with us by His Spirit, and if we open our hearts to Him, we would hear Him. In (John 14:16&17), Jesus said ‘And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.’ Also in (John 14:23), Jesus said, ‘If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him’.

Loving a story book character
If you are finding it hard to love God, then he is still like a story book character to you… like someone you ‘know of’. Could anyone love a God he does not know personally? If you are conscious of Christ and have communion with His Spirit, then it is impossible not to Love Him. He is too good, graceful, beautiful, loving and glorious to be resisted.

Nonetheless, He is always available
Jesus would have said, ‘I WILL BE with you…’. He would have said, ‘I am with you IF…’
Rather, He said ‘I am with you always even unto the end of the world’ (Mat 28:20). Simply put, CHRIST IS WITH YOU EVERYTIME AND EVERYWHERE.

Being conscious of Christ is the first step on a journey that leads to loving him. Of course you know what happens after that (John 14:23).
