Relationship with God Series : Part one

At the heart of Christianity is a deep personal, intimate, relationship with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Relationship with God, it's our purpose in life, our destiny and the very reason that we were created for. God could have had fellowship with the angels, but He didn't. He could of had fellowship with the animals, but He didn't. He choose us, the pinnacle of His creation, because His desire is for us. The Lord almighty, who created the heavens and the earth, wants to spend time with us. He wants us to experience His presence and love and wants us to know Him more intimately than we've ever known Him before. That's amazing, that's awesome. Praise God! He wants to chill with mankind!

The bible says in Daniel (11:32) "that those that know their God, shall be strong and do exploits". Throughout the bible and history, we see men and women who knew God and consequently saw the power and love of God manifested in their lives. We see enoch Genesis (5:22-24), who walked with God so closely, that it says God took him and he was nowhere to be found. We see Abraham who had such a close relationship with Him, that God called Him a friend of God, James (2:23). Jesus, our saviour, as we all know was and is (God manifest in the flesh), called the Son of God (the four gospels). Last century, there was a man by the name of Smith wigglesworth, who felt undressed if He didn't have His bible on him and felt like he was backsliding, if he wasn't moving forward in his relationship with the Lord. This man saw amazing miracles in His life and ministry. He saw blind eyes open, the deaf hear, tumours fall of bodies, the paralysed and crippled walk by the power of God. He spent hours with God on a daily basis and was a man who knew God.

Do we know God? Do we want to know Him, not out of duty or obligation, but because we love Him and love being with Him? We can know all about Him for the rest of our lives, but until we actually meet Him, through Jesus, and spend time with Him, through His word and prayer, we'll never actually know Him, personally for ourselves. Choose to spend time with Him today. Not tomorrow, but today. He loves you and wants to spend time with you.
