God’s Word Is The Beginning and The End
God created the world we live in. Period, It didn’t come from anywhere else.
John 1:1 KJV, In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Another version, short and simple, no other way to say it, John 1:1 (NKJV)
The Eternal Word
1, In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Despite man’s best attempt over thousand’s of years to establish else wise. Through Darwinism or various other theories such as the big bang theory, our world around us when looked at closely is not a mess of randomness that has come together so magnificently, but rather is well designed.
Many times the design is well beyond any man’s reasoning and intellect to explain without admitting all forms of life around us, are ingeniously designed to function in this physical world just as they were purposed by a loving God.
The Bible Is God’s Manifest Presence
The Bible is the closest thing we have in this material world to God’s presence. He is here among us. If you are born again, and you have become a best friend with Jesus.
It’s best to think of this in a human way. You either text or talk to your best friend every day. Yes, establish a daily habit of talking to Jesus and Father God every day.
It is so easy in today’s world to grab your phone, or i-pad and check out the latest thing of interest to you. It may be a certain site you go to all the time, like a Facebook feed, or Instagram feed, or I guess there’s something called Snap Chat that people use a lot. I really don’t know beyond my basic knowledge that it deals with photos I guess. I know nothing else about it.
Or as mentioned earlier I see people, drivers of vehicles, texting people all the time while driving or while walking in the mall, or in a store, or even in a Dr.’s office.
Or it is not uncommon to see people today driving at 80 mph and holding a phone to their ear. Yikes, Really!
Practice the Presence of God
Everywhere you go, you will find people attached to their phone like they were born with it attached to them…. Make God that attached to you. How do you say? Well, Practice the Presence of God! Just have an honest conversation with God!
You will be pleasantly surprised at how much He is, and How much He wants to be part of your life.
The God I know wants to be part of you. He deeply cares about you and every tiny thing about you. Scripture says he even knows the counts for the hairs of your head.
Be brutally honest with God. If you have questions, ask him about them? If you are angry just tell Him that you are very angry about this or that? You see he already knows this anyway, but Talk to Him. He listens really well, But Don’t forget the other side of a great friendship is that you need to listen as well from your side, I bet he has some great knowledge and wisdom he could share with you.
Try It, Practice the Presence of God every day, the more you do it the more you will find yourself doing it more naturally.
So God created you, He Loves You, he wants to be your best friend and he knows that the key thing missing in your life in the physical realm as a human being is that you need to be feeding on his Word daily. Just as your physical body needs physical food and nourishment every day, so does your spiritual man need spiritual food daily. I know I feed my body really well how about you? But how about how well am I feeding my Spirit being daily.
I know I lack tremendously there, my spirit man can get very weak on a daily basis. I can check on this by checking first and foremost how is my love walk today? If I fail, then my spirit man needs more spirit food.
The Word My Spirit Food
Every day you probably have at least two meals a day. It is recommended that you have three meals a day. Well, why is that? Well, it seems that the doctor or a scientist will tell you you need to supply your physical body with a source of energy to keep your body going. To keep your health up, so that you may be a healthy contributor to your world every day.
Well God designed man (mankind) to be that way. He also gave you a spirit, a soul, and a body. You live on this earth in a human flesh body, you have a mind which consists of your will and your emotions and you are a spirit being. When you die you will still exist. Because the real you is your spirit. The spirit being whom God created is the real you.
I found throughout my life that every time I obtained a pleasure that my physical self wanted that it always still left me empty.
Never quite fulfilling. Well, why is that? Well, that was my flesh demanding or wanting a physical possession, a physical pleasure, or many times a selfish-centered pleasure.
There always seemed to be a void there. The void I found out was that my physical being, my world senses, of touch, smell, hearing, seeing, and talking just couldn’t ever be satisfied.
I learned that my spirit man yearned to be fed. I desired to be fed the Word of God.
I just didn’t even recognize that need. It took many years of being around preaching, and teaching series to realize that my spirit needs to be fed just like my flesh body needs to be fed.
