God, His Revelation to Us

God, who is He? Where is He? Does He exist? Why can't we see Him? If He exists, why does He allow suffering? If He exists, why doesn't He do something about the evil in the world?

I believe in God and more than that I know Him. I couldn't live if I didn't have a personal relationship with Him. Once upon a time not so long ago I would have asked those questions in my mind, but NEVER have voiced them out loud. Today, BECAUSE I know Him I am not afraid to face them and verbalize them.

This is how I understand God from what He has revealed to us through first His written word, and then through the living word (His Son Yeshua the Messiah).

1. God exists, always has and needs no outside source to do so
2. God is three part (spirit, soul [mind, will and emotions} and body)
3. God created angels as ministering spirits
4. One angel (an arch angel with a high ranking) rebelled out of pride
5. All the angels God set under him went with him
6. God has way more angels than the enemy has
   
7. God manifested His son (who already existed in the spirit realm)
8. The adversary enticed His son (Adam) to rebel
   
9. God was WAY ahead of the enemy
10. God's plan was for man to do exactly what he did. Adam's apparent failure was part of God's plan or will.
    
11. God's son was slain in God's mind BEFORE the foundation of the world
12. God defeated the enemy BEFORE he ever took a single thought
13. God works outside of time, though He is in time as well
14. God is spirit
15. His words are spirit, light, life, water, seed, eternal, and powerful
    
16. All things natural are made from all things spiritual
17. God who is light can never be put out by darkness, but darkness can't stay where light is
    
18. God has put man on and in a limited time frame and when the time is up, it's up.
19. God gave man 7,000 years to destroy the works of the adversary. It was done in Messiah, but the full manifestation won't be until the 7,000th year is up. Today if you trust the Hebrew calendar keeping is year 5771.
    
20. God is love and His plan is full of mercy and grace.
21. God hates sin because it kills His children.
22. Sin was completely dealt with in the Messiah's life, death and resurrection.
23. Those who walk by faith (the power of the eternal kingdom) are eternally sealed in Messiah Yeshua.
24. God gave dominion to man when He placed Him in the garden
25. Man gave dominion to the adversary when he sold out his birthright for the forbidden fruit. (Knowledge of good and evil.)
26. Yahowshua Hamashiach bought dominion back when he went to the death side of "paradise" and suffered for all mankind's sin. He took the keys of death, hell and the grave with him.
    
27. Yeshua now intercedes for us on the throne of heaven. He temporarily has all authority in heaven and earth. He will surrender it voluntarily to the Father when the 7,000th year is up. He will hand all authority back to him just before the 8th day or when the clock stops and eternity takes over again.
    
28. It's very exciting to be a child of the Most High through Messiah Yahowshua!
    
29. God is not just God to me; He is my Abba (Father in Hebrew).
    
30. I no longer have to be afraid of Him and hide like Adam did in the garden. In Messiah I can approach without fear to his throne. Even though I still have sin residing in the dirt bag I call my earthly body, I have the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh) sealing and infilling me!
    
31. You can have this too. Just believe that Yeshua was really who he said he was. He came and lived as the living torah or living word, God or YHVH manifested Him to destroy the works of the adversary. Call on his name; Yahowshua Ha Mashiach (also known as Jesus the Christ). You will then be adopted into the eternal family of God and be an eternal creature. Sin will no longer have dominion over you and your life.
