THE LAND OF GOODNESS

THE LAND OF GOODNESS We all are explorers, searching for the new, enjoying the old, becoming personally enlarged with each discovery. What we behold affects us. If we look at it long enough, it changes us.

There are parts of God’s goodness that are easily noticeable to the casual observer. Much like Moses, we’ve been given a challenge. He saw a burning bush that wasn’t being consumed by its flames.

The story records an important detail that should help us all in our journey. It was only when Moses turned aside that the Lord spoke to him from the bush. (See Exodus 3:4.)

Sometimes giving undivided attention to the obvious releases a greater encounter with Him, manifesting a greater revelation of what He is like. The bottom line is that we can’t find anything significant on our own. It must be revealed to us. In other words, all discoveries are not the result of our discipline and determination alone.

As the ultimate steward, He gives these gifts to those who have embraced His invitation to ask, seek, and knock. The prophet Jeremiah caught a glimpse of this reality when God gave him a promise of restoration. “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (Jer. 33:3).

The God who is good gave us the invitation to call upon Him. He then promised to answer in a way that was beyond what we asked for. The word great in this verse means “considerably above average.” And if that weren’t enough, He follows the word great with the word mighty . Mighty means “inaccessible.” Consider this: God has given us access to the inaccessible. What an incomprehensible promise!

It is out of the reach of our skills, character, or qualifications. We lack all that is necessary to be able to apprehend what exists in the realm called the goodness of God. But He gave us something that makes this impossibility possible.

He gave us the key to the inaccessible. He Himself is that key. Through His name we have access to that which is beyond our reach on our best day. The invitation came from His goodness. He invites us to call upon Him, giving Him the open door to answer in a way that is above our expectations and imagination.

There is no goodness apart from Him, so our journey is a discovery of the person of God—the One whose inaccessible goodness is now accessible by an invitation with His promise to be found by us.

We were created and designed to live in the glory of God, which is the manifested presence of Jesus.

BEHOLDING IS BECOMING (PART - 1)

BEHOLDING IS BECOMING (PART - 1) FACE TO FACE In GODS sovereign plan HE designed us to live in HIS presence, and be filled with HIS very presence, and from that place we shine with HIS glory in all we are and all we do. We are created for face-to-face encounters with GOD. Imagine the first time Adam opened his eyes at the very instance GOD breathed on his nostrils the breath of Life. In a moment, He saw the face of GOD shining in glory right in front of him! Just imagine, as he was gazing upon HIS face, all that GOD is...HIS love, power, goodness, majesty, perfection, and glory inundated him and every fiber of his being pulsated with divine life. Literally, Adam was saturated with GOD. He was soaked in glory! This is a beautiful picture of what face-to-face with GOD looks like. This encounter was not just for Adam exclusively, but it is for the rest of mankind as well. In GOD'S sovereign plan, HE designed us, HIS Masterpiece, to live in HIS presence, in the place...

NO PHYSICAL DEATH

No Physical Death Let ‘s start with the quote “As He is, so are we in Christ” which indicates the immortality of human life. According to the Word, we should be the reflection of His image. Which means, if Christ can’t die, so we should be. Then, what does death mean to us? Origin of Death: “Romans 5.12(KJV)”- Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned The verse convey’ s that DEATH entered the world through SIN. “Romans 6.2-11(KJV)”- 2 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrec...

Identity in CHRIST - Part 2 ( Crucified with CHRIST)

Crucified with CHRIST Galatians 2:20 When Paul said, "I have been crucified with CHRIST," it meant he had been judged, condemned, cast out, stripped naked, and nailed to the Cross. The very thought of crucifixion to a Jew, and especially to a Pharisee, brought a sense of shame and horror. When Saul of Tarsus identified himself with the Man, JESUS, accepted HIM as his SAVIOR, and confessed HIM as his LORD, that moment he became a crucified man to the Jewish people. He became an outcast. No wonder he said in Gal. 6:14 that the world had been crucified unto him, and he had been crucified unto the world. The world had been stripped naked to Paul. There was no longer any delusionin regard to it. He could no longer be deceived. He knew its cruelty. He had felt its lash upon his back. He remembered the stoning that had left him unconscious. He remembered that in every place he went, he faced the anger, bitterness, and jealousy of men. He had been stripped naked ...

As he is, So Am I.
