The Seed Blog: This is God

So many people today… Are MISSING the Truth of Who God truly IS!
WE ARE FORGETTING/IGNORING HOW GOD IS PLAINLY DESCRIBED… IN HIS ENTIRETY… WITHIN EVERY PAGE OF SCRIPTURE!
And the Parts of God’s Character we seem to be OVERLOOKING… Are EVERY BIT as important to see Who He Truly IS…
As those we seem to FOCUS ON MOST!!
And everything about our lives… Our choices… Our relationship with HIM…
Suffer, because of these misconceptions!
So many today are worshiping a false image!! A God nothing LIKE Our True Creator and Savior! Because we consciously or subconsciously… Mold Him…Mold Him into what WE think a Perfect God would be…In OUR own needy, hurting, sometimes selfish…
And totally incomplete VIEW!

We miss Him… Because we are only seeing pieces…Of His Face & Character… That WE like... And we ignore, hide or reshape others… That we don’t like! Only knowing a PART of someone can be very detrimental! Even completely life-changing!...Because that part which is left unknown… Ignored…Can be the most important essence of who they are in truth!
Too many have found this out…When finding a spouse…Making a friend…Or making a deal or contract. Where the unknown part of someone…Changed reality in a moment!
So… No holds barred… Nothing added or taken away…Let’s take a comprehensive look at Who Scriptures Say God IS… Truly!...Trying to avoid any “spin” or opinion of our own!
But based upon His Own Words!...Because knowing God for Who HE truly IS…Has more bearing on your entire life… Than any other single Truth you will ever face!
The CHALLENGE for us all today is…Will we ACCEPT what we really see?...And what will we do about it?
THIS… IS GOD (Tender And Loving)
Our God is unfathomably Powerful and Creative! We can see this like no other generation EVER BEFORE!!
The Artist and Designer of…
An incomprehensively enormous and wonderous Universe! With Laws and Intricacies that we could not hold in our heads! In the midst of this wonder…He has created life… Complex, wonderous life…Above all understanding! In every imaginable form and amazement! On every inch of this wonderful world He made for US! To explore, enjoy, fear, ponder, study, love and appreciate! To the extent that we will never discover, or understand it all! It is literally a “Wonderland” of intrigue, love, & life which envelopes us!
Job 12:7-10 (NKJV)
Now… This Being… This All-Powerful Creator of Wonder and Life…HE IS THE ONE… WHO BECAME…Common… Poor… Simple… Unknown… Unappreciated!...Gave up everything that was rightfully His to enjoy!...And totally dedicated Himself to loving and touching…
The most sinful and most undeserving people who ever existed!
Jesus walked 70 miles… About 24 hours total…To Heal the daughter of one unknown gentile woman near Tyre! Jesus sought out an unknown cripple at the Pool of Bethesda…To give him the gift of healing! Jesus met with the lowest of scum…And joyfully broke bread with them in love!...THIS… Is that Wondrous, Brilliant Creator of the Universe! He showed not one ounce of Ego… Entitlement… Or Self-Pleasing! Our Creator lived as One of us… Putting us all… Above Himself!...And this Love for US… This Desire to be CLOSE with us…Goes so, so much deeper than we can fathom or believe!
He was willing to be overlooked, hated, mistreated, misunderstood…Tortured… Give up His Life, Reputation, and Acceptance… As King and Creator! Not just to Save our souls! But for the chance to be intimately close with us… Be ONE!...To literally indwell and walk with us!
Even in our filthiness… NOW… And for eternity!
No one in your life is more Trust worthy!...More faithful to you even in your betrayals and mistakes… More loyal to be there no matter what… More ready to forgive when not deserved… More willing to forget your past… Until His care for us defies logic in our limited minds!
John 3:17 (NKJV)
He wants us to feel His rest, joy, security, closeness and protection…So passionately…
That He gave up His Throne…That He destroyed His Own Creation…That He suffered the Ultimate Rejection and Pain…That He Willingly EMBRACED…All of our suffering, humiliation and Judgment!
THIS… IS GOD (Hatred of Sin!)
Get this about Our Jesus… Our God… Our King! BECAUSE HE LOVES US SO DEEPLY…
He is ABSOLUTELY… WITHOUT EXCEPTION…COMPLETELY…INTOLERANT OF SIN!! (It is outside of His Very Nature!) LISTEN… JESUS HATES SIN AS STRONGLY… AS HE LOVES US! (WHY?!!)…Because HE fully knows and understands… Better than anyone could ever recognize…The devastating effects it has on those He Loves!...On our lives, our hearts, our emotions, our very souls!
Even more than that…HE KNOWS:
How it robs us of everything good and wonderful…That HE Created us to be! He knows we will NEVER truly KNOW Him deeply…We will never be ONE with Him…Or exist as the beautiful Child of God He Made us to be…AS LONG AS SIN RULES IN OUR HEARTS!!!...Because it taints everything! (Cannot look on Him & LIVE!)
Isaiah 59:2 (NKJV)
HE… Above anyone else… Is COMPLETELY BROKEN…Over the mess… And the pain… And the unfairness of our world!! The mess we created… And are still creating right now! He has to get rid of it ALL… COMPLETELY!
Because HE IS fair and just!...But that means getting rid of US as well!...Because every one of us is tainted with darkness and sin!
Satan thought he had us… And God…In his devious plot to lure us into Judgment!...But these effects of sin in our lives…The terrible pain brought to us all…Are only until His Plan is finished! His Plan to save every single one that will come to Him!...And we have to work with Him in love until it is finished!
WE WANT HIM TO RID US OF ALL OF THESE EVILS…THAT ARE HURTING US AND OUR WORLD… RIGHT?! We want Him to stop all of the wrongs… All of the injustices… All of the pain caused by this world… RIGHT?!...BUT… WE… WANT TO DISAGREE WITH HIM…FIGHT HIM… ACCUSE HIM OF HYPOCRISY… OF BEING UNLOVING! WHEN HE ASKS US TO RESIST THOSE EVILS IN OUR LIVES…AND IN THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND US… WITH HIM!! Even as they are robbing us of…Love, peace, selflessness and Oneness with Him!
How can WE be angry with HIM…For hating what is destroying us from the inside out?!
For hating what is robbing our hearts… And blinding our eyes?! He wants us to TRUST HIS HEART…Over the insanity which our fallen desires have brought into this world! It is sad… When an immature child is scared of the dark…It is much sadder… When a mature adult fears the Light!
John 3:19-20 (NKJV)
To see Him… To really see God as Scriptures Reveal…Should leave us feeling…Totally humbled… Inadequate… Dirty… Unlovable… And Ignorant!...NOT… Entitled… Righteous… In control… Demanding… And Intelligent!!
Job 40:3-5, 42:2-3 (NKJV); ​Isaiah 6:1, 5 (NKJV)
​The Hebrew word for “UNDONE” here is DAMAH (DAW-MAM’)…Meaning: “Cease to exist, cut off ruined, destroyed, silenced!”…Scriptures Say, “No man can see God and live!”WHY?! Because SIN cannot exist in His Presence! No man or woman… Standing in the Presence of…
The Most Holy, Powerful, Wisdom Filled Being in the Universe…Will ever feel anything but unworthy and ruined!...And yet we approach God feeling…More righteous and intelligent than HIM!
Grasp this Truth about Our God…As well as all the Truths of Mercy, Grace and Love!
In our state of arrogance, and self-righteousness, and entitlement…God sees us in our understanding of this world…As we truly are right now: As ignorant animals!
Psalms 73:22 (NKJV)
With NO TRUE KNOWLEDGE of even the most basic precepts…Of His creation… Of life… Or of Real Love!...And yet… In His Omniscience… Mercy… And Love…He sees us for ALL that we were Created to be as well!...Without sin… In full knowledge of Him and His Ways!...In His Image and Love… In full bloom!
1 Corinthians 13:12 (ESV)
Then… FACE TO FACE!  How? What changes? OUR SIN!...And that knowledge of Him… Of His Ways… Holiness!...Is what He strives to teach us even now!!...If we will get out of our own way!...And humbly trust HIM as Our Loving Father!
To see HIM as He is…  And see ourselves as we truly are:Should cause us to be broken over our condition!...Cause us to be desperate to be different from this world…At any personal cost!...Should cause us to feel hopeless to get there alone!...But totally secure that HE can WASH us clean…With HIS SACRIFICE and LOVE!
LISTEN NOW… It is BECAUSE He knows the IMPACT of sin…The impact WE don’t seem to see or understand…And BECAUSE He loves infinitely deeper than we love Him…That He IS so hard and unbending on sin in our life!!...And He refuses to play with, change, or condone…
What is POISONING US TO DEATH!
Enemy or Friend?
HERE IS THE MAJOR PART OF GOD MANY ARE MISSING!!! IF AND WHEN… WE CHOOSE TO EMBRACE SIN OVER HIM…KNOWINGLY AND WILLINGLY… OVER HIS LOVE AND TRUTH!
WE BECOME THE TERRIBLE THREAT… THE ENEMY OF HIS BRIDE!! We become an enemy of all HE has Created, Lived & Died to Protect! We become a tool… A willing soldier… Of Satan!
AND THE ALL-CONSUMING LOVE THAT DRIVES HIM TO SAVE US…NOW BECOMES AN EQUAL WRATH OF DEFENSE AGAINST US!
Hebrews 10:26-27 (NKJV); Romans 2:12 (NKJV)
It is NOT that He does not love us… STILL!...It’s that WE have chosen to become a SELF-SERVING THREAT…Causing us to become so blind in our selfishness…We actually expect HIM to SERVE US IN OUR SINS!!!!...As WE embrace a world that has NOTHING to do with HIM!
As WE become a PART OF THE PROBLEM…He DIED to remove!
We actually expect HIM to please us… IN OUR CHOICE TO SIN…Over all He has done!...No matter the cost to His Son… And all of His Creation!
THAT CHOICE ALONE…Shows we have consciously decided to resist His Kingdom!
Putting our own desires above HIS WISDOM, LOVE & PLAN!...FEELING WE ARE SOMEHOW SMARTER OR MORE MORAL…THAN EVEN HIM!
Romans 1:21-22 (NKJV)
Listen with all of your heart! God is UNBENDING in His Unending Sacrifice to save us!!!
He is JUST AS UNBENDING…In His resistance and fury…Against all that hurts those He Sacrificed everything to save!!!
He will not compromise… He will not make exceptions!!To OUR open choices to live against His Love and His Will!...IT IS OUR JOB… TO UNDERSTAND HIM… ACCEPT HIM… TRUST HIM…WHERE HE IS… RIGHT NOW!! (Not the other way around!) He will not be mocked… Or misrepresented…By those who TRULY KNOW His Word! …At the cost of losing those He loves so much!...When we… Above all… Are without excuse!...Knowing His great Love and Wisdom! (Moses at the rock!)
HIS WILL… IS GOING TO BE COMPLETED…HIS KINGDOM IS COMING…SIN WILL BE REMOVED!
WILL YOU AND I SEE THE BEAUTY…IN ALL THAT HE HAS SACRIFICED TO CREATE IN US?
WILL WE DESIRE TO BECOME ONE WITH HIM…AS PASSIONATELY AS HE HAS SACRIFICED TO MAKE A WAY?...WILL WE REALIZE OUR OWN…HELPLESSNESS, IGNORANCE, AND PRIDE?
WILL WE RECOGNIZE HIS REAL LOVE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS?...AND TRUST HIM WITH EVERYTHING WE DON’T UNDERSTAND?...OR… WILL YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN A PART OF THE VERY SIN…WHICH HE HAS COME TO RESIST AND REMOVE?!!...IN ORDER TO RESTORE HIS KINGDOM… OVER THIS FALLEN ONE?!
LISTEN: We CAN’T see all of Him… The way we are right now! Scriptures say… Something has to change first!! Or we cannot even look upon Him! We have to become LIKE HIM FIRST!
Through our desire to accept His Sacrifice…And our surrender to becoming all that He IS!
1 John 3:1-3 (NKJV)
​It is time to stop trusting and following the insanity of the world! It is time to fully forsake all that stands against Him! It is time to start acting like we really trust His Ways and His Love! It is time to start believing there is really nothing in this world for us!...AND BE A TRUE LIGHT TO A BLIND WORLD! BE TRUE SALT TO PRESERVE & HEAL THE SICK AT HEART! Not join in their sickness!!...AND BE A REAL, LOVING, UNCOMPROMISING…UNAPOLOGETIC… LOVING… PICTURE… OF JESUS CHRIST!...THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND!!
LISTEN!!  THIS IS…THE PASSIONATE, LOVING, SACRIFICIAL…IMMOVABLE, FIERCE,
RECKLESS, DANGEROUS…FACE OF OUR ALMIGHTY GOD! TAKE HIM OR LEAVE HIM!
BUT HE MUST BE ACCEPTED… IN HIS ENTIRETY!!
In all of His humbleness, unending love, and long suffering for us…I pray you see that He is More Worthy than anything else in your life!
Psalms 73:25 (NKJV)
