How Accessible to Us Is God?

-


God has made Himself so accessible we have no excuse for not interacting with Him. Here are just twelve reasons why this is true.

1. The Bible is the most sold book in the world. The entire Bible has been translated into over 600 languages and is accessible at local stores including Walmart, the Dollar Tree and Dollar General. The Bible can be found for under a dollar. The Bible carries 66 books in it and is the foundation for our understanding of who the One and true God is.

2. The heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19). The sky itself communicates, day and night, that God exists. The amazing thing about this is that the Bible itself states that the "heavens" do this without using words or a particular language.

3. Mankind is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26). This means that we look like God. Every man, woman and child has God's imprint on them. We share in His DNA. So every time we are looking at a newborn, our spouse, our best friend, our coworker etc. we are looking at the face of God. Jesus Himself said that when we saw Him we saw God. (John 14:9)

4. Eternity is inside of us. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "He has set eternity in the hearts of men yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Every person has a longing inside them for things to last forever. Where did this longing come from if everything that we can see is temporary? It came from an invisible God who loves us very much. Everything we can see is temporal but everything we cannot see is eternal (2nd Corinthians 4:18)

5. God designed creation and set us in it so that His divine nature and eternal power would be clearly seen. "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."- Romans 1:20

6. God inspired the creation of the internet; a gateway to global interconnection. This web spans continents, countries and counties, enabling much of mankind not only to gain wisdom and knowledge about who God is from one another but search the Scriptures, define words, hear testimonies and witness miracles just by typing in a few words. We have no excuse!

7. God has taken the initiative and has pursued us since the fall of man. Since the hour that Adam fell it was God who asked, "Where are you?" This question pertains to our own spiritual state now: "Where are you?"

8. God enters our lives through dreams. God has constructed man with the ability to slip into a realm of sleep that makes him more vulnerable to the supernatural realm where God can speak freely.

9. God has set you in this particular time period intentionally (Acts 17:26). God has predetermined where we would live and during which time period. Why did God do this? The Bible says that "God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any of us." -Acts 17:27

10. God has placed people in your life to lead you to Him. God loves you so much that He will actually brings someone to you in order for you to gain understanding concerning who He is. (Acts 8:26-40). God loves you so much that He will even transport someone to you, have them elaborate on what He is communicating to you, then transport them back to where they were. All just for you!

11. God has given us His very own Spirit! Anyone who does not have the Spirit of God can ask for Him and He will give Him liberally.

12. If you don't know God intimately, and have read through this blog, it is a good indication that God, once again, has intervened on your behalf and is lovingly calling you to Him In other words, the author of this blog has been sent, by God, for your sake. He is using me to get to you. That's how much He loves you! You have no excuse. Engage Him today!

I have to add one more to this brief list.

Prayer.

God has given you a voice, even if it is muted, in order for you to talk to Him. God is the only being I know who wants you to talk to Him ALL the time. He says 1st Thessalonians 5:17 to pray without ceasing. Prayer is one of the most powerful life streams God has provided in order to flow His life to you and back. Prayer is a portal; a gateway to the wells of the River of Life. Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life. Amen.

One Hundred Years

In March my wife and I, along with our friends Cynthia and Maria, spent a weekend in the Elijah Cabin on the Morningstar Ministries property in North Carolina. While we were there we found several books and teaching CDs for sale. One of them was a Healing Conference set of DVDs from Morningstar Ministries. During one of the teachings prophet Bob Jones, who was still alive at the time, was asked to come onstage with Rick Joyner and share the word he received from God about 100 Hundred Years. The minute he began to speak, God's signature language was heard and received in my spirit. It was absolutely from the Father's Heart. Here is the outline of what God gave Mr. Jones for the previous years and those to come: 1950 The Power of God: "During this time God demonstrated his power through men like William Branham, Oral Roberts, A.A. Allen and Jack Cole." 1960 The Spirit of God: "God began to invade the denominations around this time and continues to invade them. ...

Alaska

Two years ago the Lord began to speak to us about moving to Alaska. The focus for us moving there would be to minister, particularly to the native people, all over Baranof Island and beyond. The Lord spoke to us specifically about the City of Sitka. Since that time we have prayed, almost daily, into the purposes and plans of God for the people there. He has spoken to us through visions, license plates, His Voice, movies, signs, and people that we've randomly bumped into. We have had prophets in the Body of Christ, especially our best friend Cynthia Branham, prophesy over us often concerning this wondrous place. Bethany actually traveled to Alaska some 20 years ago this summer to minister through the Teen Mania organization. I have never been to Alaska but in my whole 20 years of being a believer the Lord has only spoken to me about the president as much as He has spoken to me about this place! My destiny and promise lies in this land. We have been making practical preparations ...

Where is Your Faith?

I don't know if you have ever felt this way but at times in my life certain things have happened which made me feel as if I have very little faith. There are moments where I have felt as if I was being tossed back and forth like a boat pitching in the middle of a hurricane on the high seas. Each time I have felt this way, I have had my eyes on the storm of circumstances around me, at the seemingly endless onslaught of water pouring into my vessel, seeking to overwhelm me and fill me with fear, doubt, confusion, and most of all like I am sinking further into despair. But God in His patient way would simply lift my head, much like a father does to a small child, until I am face to face, looking straight into His eyes, my own eyes fixed on Him and then He reminds me that He is always with me. In Matthew 28:20, Jesus makes a bold promise, "...And remember that I am always with you until the end of time." (God's Word Translation.) I love how even in the middle of som...
