Still Trying To Be God?

Wherever you are in your walk as a human being, God Himself would love to reveal Himself to you. You may be a Christian who is surrounded with the 'things' of God; church, bibles, Christian friends, Christian books and various paraphernalia but you really don't know Him. Or, you may be an occultist or pagan who is attempting to manipulate the spiritual realm for your own well being. You have your beliefs, practices and paraphernalia. You may be sincere in your attempt to pursue Truth.

Folks, we inherited a real tendency to hide. Adam fell from his relationship with God (Genesis 3) and he immediately responded by hiding from God. God pursued Adam after he disobeyed still desiring the relationship. However, Adam played the blame game attributing his condition to Eve and insinuating that God Himself was at fault. Adam was afraid and hid.

How are you hiding? Probably by attempting to control your life. Your life was given to you by your Creator and He has a plan for your life. His plan, not ours. He also plans to provide for you as you walk with Him. He desires for you to reveal yourself to Him as you are. Completely naked. That way you have no need to hide from Him in fear. You will overcome the fear and hiding from Him as He reveals Himself to you. You will not need to fear Him, or anything for that matter, because of who He is. He will become your God, fully accepting of who you are, as you are but desires to fill you with His Spirit in order to transform you into the image of Jesus Christ.

Here I am, some 20+ years into my walk with Him and I am not the same person that I was. My wife today stated that I am not a fearful person. Do you know what? I'm not. Before I knew God or rather am known by God, I was literally tormented by anxiety, worry and fear. Today I have confidence in Him. God is who He says He is. He reveals Himself through His word, the Bible. His word is Truth. And folks, you can place your trust in Him. He is faithful.

So, wherever you are, I would challenge you to reveal yourself to Him. Go to Him as you truly are. He will release you from whatever binds you; anger, fear, shame etc He wants you to be free.
