Who is HE?

Who is this God who speaks about how HE wants to fulfil HIS plans? Who is HE? Who is this, whom we direct our questions at, as if He needs to answer what is going on in our little minds? Who is this, who desires us to ask Him, so that, He might speak with us and reveal His heart? Do I want to know? Do I really want to know? How many rungs up the ladder must I go? Or to what depths must I descend? The heart says yes, even when it is too tired for such adventures. He says of Himself, I am a Holy God, and you must be holy as I am Holy. You must be a people without mixture. You must worship in spirit and in truth, the truth of who HE is, not what we think Him to be, or perceive Him to be, because of our neediness. We try so hard, we tug, push and pull, we put Him into the tiniest of boxes, into the storage tanks of our thinking. We try to get Him to meet us in the time frames we allow for meetings, or in the midst of our business, and we think He will oblige us. Well on occasion He does, but mostly we fool ourselves, and then we try and fool others into thinking that time is not really important, it is quality not quantity, well there is no quality without any quantity, really, try having a relationship with your significant others and see if that cuts it. The reality is, God is not looking for moments of religion, He is looking for us to join Him in relationship. I know I must be preachin to a choir out there, I know we all know these things I talk of, but by speaking about them out loud, perhaps it will shake things up just a bit, so that we will really think about them.
What is God really saying about Himself? I gotta know.
I asked myself this week, what is it that I am doing that shows my faith, and what is it I believe in? What am I willing to die for? I asked how on earth is it that I find myself pondering again what's it all about? Well someone once said, and this is a quote: It was a Jewish MAN who came to earth and gave His life to save mankind. It struck me as kinda unusual that I had not considered the consequences of God's choice, to send His Son back at such a political time as this, in which there is more hatred towards His race then ever. Even this is a revelation. The God of the Universe has chosen to have a race. He who will be all things, to all people, will do this as a Jewish God-Man. Well it was a Jewish Man who saved me, even before I understood I needed saving. It was a Jewish Man who made the sacrifice. It is a Jewish Man sitting right now on the throne of David. It is a Jewish Man who will return to rule the earth and everyone who is on it. Amazing isn't it. This 33yr old Jewish Man is coming from heaven to rule and reign, in a real city, in a real country, on this planet forever. What are we doing to prepare for this startling reality. God is speaking people! He is revealing His plans. Are we ready? As the deep darkness begins to cover the earth, He has given us a strategy to apply to our ways of seeing things. The strategy is to KNOW HIM. He wants us to examine who He says HE is. He has told us, He is speaking, He is showing, He is not quiet, His voice is thundering, if we will have ears to hear, and eyes to see. What are we gonna do when this Jewish God-Man who has been in eternity, sitting with His Father, comes here to the planet. What is it going to look like. Well it's going to  look like the book of Revelation in 3D, and it will be in technicolor. Oh yes and I forgot, HE said, we would be the ones who would call to Him, to return. We will be priests, a kingdom of priests to be exact. Praying priests, imagine that. It seems a far way off, and almost dream like or surreal to me. It is hard for me to think of myself standing side by side, all of us priests praying, and ushering in the King of Kings. What a strategy, Lord it seems so impossible, as I look at how things have been going in my life at the present time. But I can trust that God can do in me the impossible, if I will obey. Obedience and holiness, the shoes for the road less travelled. Put them on, it's time to move, to walk, to run. It is time to believe what He says is coming in the days ahead. It is time to believe what He says about Himself. He is Holy, and wishes to be regarded as Holy. He is calling us to be readied and waiting. It's time to say YES to the dress. Put on the wedding garments. Believe that the 33yr old Ancient of Days is coming back to earth, because of the plans His Father made for Him and us, before the beginning of time. The story is real. The Jewish Bridegroom is real. Father and Son are Holy and totally other than what we have ever dreamed or imagined. Let's be ready for the grandest banquet of all. The grandest meeting we will ever have. Let's be prepared to have the eyes of a fiery passionate God and King look into ours, and find us totally yielded
