YOU SHOULD REALLY KNOW THIS GOD

How does the Almighty introduce Himself to a Christian? He does it through His Word, which comes to us through different means. Note, however, that it is possible to study the Word personally or listen to teachings during which God is introducing Himself and still not have an understanding of who He is. If you want to really understand when God introduces Himself, and also enjoy all the benefits that come from that experience, you need to stay close to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to give you an interpretation, an understanding of the message the Lord is passing across to you each time you come into His presence.

The reason why a lot of Christians do not profit from the study of the Word is that they keep the Holy Spirit out of their study (whether they are studying personally or in church, etc.). How can someone understand God’s declarations in the scriptures if he shuts off the Spirit of God of whom Jesus said in John 16:13, “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself: but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come”?

We also receive revelations of God in the place of prayer if we allow the Holy Spirit to talk to us. Prayer is supposed to be a two-way communication between our heavenly Father and us, but a lot of times believers just hurriedly say what they have in mind to Him and rush off without giving Him a chance to tell them what He has in mind. If this has been your practice, then you have been making a serious mistake and you can just adjust immediately.

When God introduces Himself to you, there are benefits that follow: listen to Him

Prayer: Keep me focused in Your word O Lord
