Where it all Began

Chapter 107:GOD WAS KNOWN AS…

GOD WAS KNOWN AS…

God was known as the unapproachable one by men, because of sin, but is this true in the real sense of God’s love for us? Can you approach your father? If you can approach your father, no matter how fierce he may look, who is God to you and why can you not approach Him? Who dwells on the throne of grace? The reality of our essence is knowledge-based and there cannot be knowledge without the right information and God has in us the very information of the very truth, all we need do is to have our heart yielded to His perfect will.

Hebrews 4: 16

Let us, therefore, come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We need not be afraid to approach God because God Himself has approached us and with His approach, He gave us not, what we may have been dragged into, which has become our state of being called fear and this was not what He intended for us. The only remedy for the fear that is not of God is the fear of God and this fear is what defines faith that entails trusting God completely. The greatest wisdom is not in what you are taught by great scholars or sages who are mostly philosophers, but in the truth of God’s Word even as we trust, nothing but what the Word of God said. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom that enables you to know what you are supposed to have known that you have not known somehow as a result of deliberate ignorance and the knowledge of what you are supposed to have known is the very truth and the wisdom that will eventually lead you into this perfect truth is the principal thing that is profitable to direct. Therefore, instead of not drawing near (Exodus 19: 12), we can now come boldly because of Christ’s priestly work; all believers in Christ Jesus can now approach God’s presence freely.

The prodigal son thought in his heart that his father would no longer accept him as a legitimate son after he had requested his inheritance and was given even as he requested. He felt being a son is no longer possible because his decision had dragged his thought to the direction of accepting the knowledge that he is no longer feat to be called son after his portion was given him, but in his father’s mind, the position of his son cannot be replaced, since his inheritance in him is beyond carnal possession, but has to do with his DNA that cannot be deleted from his son, he still considered his wayward son a legitimate heir. We often think that we are adopted sons of God as we rightly read from scripture and hinge on the literality of the letters, we never knew that it is as we think in our hearts, because we were born in sin, that does not make us what we think; we are legitimate sons of God, even when our knowledge has dragged us into the dimension of thinking we are now adopted, if we are, who was our parent? Was it the devil that created us or gave birth to us? Therefore, the word “adoption may not translate the revelation of God’s intention, even when our confession tends to drag us to the dimension of adopted heirs of God. Adoption may mean something in English, but when it comes to the revelation of God, it is not what it means in English that it is a revelation sense of reality. Adoption means God has snatched us out of the claws of the evil one that has held us captive as a result of our lack of knowledge that gives him the right to brainwash us with lies that sound like truth, to now start submitting to his authority when all dominion is ours in Christ Jesus who is our authority.

We must rightly interpret the Word of God to be able to see clearly and correctly the revelation of His intention in the letters, but we must also know that the letters kill, which implies, it is the spirit that gives life and any prayers that carry not the life of God is uselessly useless, it is better not prayed at all, because when it is done, it is simply waste of time and energy, called praying amiss. We must deliberately learn how to courageously approach God in prayers based on the knowledge of the truth because as we push, the something that will happen is what is called freedom, which is the perfect liberty in the spirit and this can only be possible when we are not dragged into unnecessary fear. What we are approaching when it comes to God is never a judgment-seat; so don’t approach God-feeling condemned. What you are approaching is the throne of grace and Jesus is our High priest, sits at the right hand of God interceding for us. Is the right hand of God apart from God? A lot of people may think the right of God, places Jesus Christ apart from God, but there is something we are not getting, but God will make it very crystal clear to us when the eyes of our understanding become open to the reality of God’s grace, wherein we are meant to stand and right in be led into all perfect truth. The right hand of God simply emphasizes the dimension of God’s righteousness wherein all believers in Christ Jesus must stand.

Men who represent or stood for the foundation of our faith like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, did not lay the foundation, Paul did, but he is not the foundation, Peter dug into the depth of the foundation, Jesus is, but Paul laid the foundation and anyone who is building must build according to pattern and everyone’s work must be tested with fire. These men never really knew God the way we now know Him and have an understanding of the name revealed to Moses as Yahweh (YHWH) in Exodus 6: 3 and that is why we still have challenges in identifying the LORD Jesus Christ as the Almighty God, not three in one, but one who revealed Himself in the three dimension of manifestation to defile the wisdom of men that goes in one direction, not even in dimension, so they could not climb up the to the plane of reality, so they did not understand the value of God’s act of manifestation that shades light in some grey areas of some certain truths.

The knowledge of man is still in direction of the point of faith but has not advanced to connect the points to become lines that will build the web of network that will transfer the impulse of divinity to humanity to form the shape of the reality that God wants us to see, but beyond the shape is the form and the form came in what we were familiar with, but we could not really understand, because the point stated that He is not a man, therefore, in our confines of knowledge, anything that has a form of man cannot be God, but this was exactly where we are missing it, because we don’t that God has made provision for Himself when He created man in His image in accordance to His likeness. The many names of God are based on His attributes and that does not mean that there are gods, even when they are, God is not in the categories of gods, there is only one God and that God is called the Almighty God. God manifested Himself in our universe in the form of man, and that does not deform reality in any way, but only present the reality of our eternal nature when we have the true understanding of who we are in Him. For real, mortal men cannot reach the wisdom of God because this is what begins the journey to immortality and no mortal can inherit eternity because eternity is for divinity. This means, God is essentially unknown, full of mystery, fitting with the verb “TO BE”, indicating the ongoing unfolding of destiny, because the name of the power behind all that is and that was why God’s first introduction was with His name.

God is called YAHWEH because He is a self-existing eternal being and this was the name revealed to Moses as I AM WHO I AM, but do you have an idea what we revealed to Enoch who walked with God and was not, because God took Him? When God said, I AM WHO I AM, that translates to mean, He can choose to become who He wants to be, which interprets an identifiable form with man. When God was to answer Moses’ question, He said, “Say to the children of Israel, that I AM sent you (Exodus 3: 14), which is transcendental i.e. He is what He reveals Himself to be and that does not make Him what He is revealing Himself through, but only a prove that He exists far beyond the knowledge of men and this knowledge cannot be accessed carnally. God cannot cease existing because we may not believe the full revelation of His person whom He truly is; He is still the eternal God. Isaiah declared the name of the LORD (Isaiah 42: 8) to align with what Moses wrote, calling God warrior. The revelation can only be through the right and appropriate teaching of the Word of God, not by men, but by the LORD Himself through His Spirit (Jeremiah 16: 21) and this means; the Holy Spirit will teach us all things and bring to remembrance all that we need to know and lead us into perfect truth and the name of God will be glorified in all the earth.

What is Immanuel?

Does Immanuel translate to mean, God sent someone to be with us or it means God with us?
