The God who sees

Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are God Who Sees”; for she said, “Have I not even here [in the wilderness] remained alive after seeing Him [who sees me with understanding and compassion]?”

Genesis 16:13 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/gen.16.13.AMP

among them the god of this world [Satan] has blinded the minds of the unbelieving to prevent them from seeing the illuminating light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2 Corinthians 4:4 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/2co.4.4.AMP

Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, “Can it really be that God has said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God said, ‘You shall not eat from it nor touch it, otherwise you will die.’ ” For God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened [that is, you will have greater awareness], and you will be like God, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.” And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise and insightful, she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of the two of them were opened [that is, their awareness increased], and they knew that they were naked; and they fastened fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

Genesis 3:1‭, ‬3‭, ‬5‭-‬7 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/gen.3.1-7.AMP

Our God is all-seeing. He is both omnipotent and omnipresent. 

He is all-powerful and exists outside of space-time for He is the Creator of all.

And we are created in His image to both see and know in the spiritual dimension.

But there is an ancient enemy who blinds the eyes of man and prevents him from seeing God's wonderful truth.  

This can be seen in the account of the fall of man. See how satan paints a picture for Eve to perceive with her mind's eye.

Ask yourself, why do you not see into the spiritual realm?

Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”

John 3:3 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.3.3.AMP

Here, Jesus tells us we can both see and know the kingdom of God.

It is your spiritual right as a believer to see and experience the kingdom of God

Pursue [this] love [with eagerness, make it your goal], yet earnestly desire and cultivate the spiritual gifts [to be used by believers for the benefit of the church], but especially that you may prophesy [to foretell the future, to speak a new message from God to the people].

1 Corinthians 14:1 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/1co.14.1.AMP

Who's, is it to seek to prophesy and foretell the future? 

You, that's who!

Learn to see and know God's revelation for the future.

Remember, He who is within you is greater than he who is in the world.

We are to learn and cultivate spiritual gifts.

What does this mean in practice?

Ask God to show you, a picture, a vision, a feeling for a fellow believer.

and in the spirit of Psalm 46:10 ...be still and know that I am God... set aside some time and go to a quiet place to seek God. 

Allow Him to speak to your spirit man.

For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.

Hebrews 5:13‭-‬14 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.5.13-14.AMP

I am the God who sees and knows 

Ask me and I will show all the wisdom of heaven.

Come close to me and I will be both father and friend.

I will show you when to speak and when to be silent.

Allow me to possess you completely and I will rend the heavens and come down in your midst.

I will show the Kingdom of God.

See, I have made you a prince in my Kingdom

You are heir to everything I have 

Ask me for understanding 

Ask me for wisdom

Ask me for knowledge 

Surely I shall answer you 

Let those with eyes see and those with ears hear.

See, your life is like an open book before me. 

I see and know all things

I know everything there is to know about you for I formed you in your mother's womb.

Where can you hide from me?

I am calling you to see and know 

I am calling you to show my wisdom

I am calling you to know me: I shall show my heart of compassion.

I shall write a new name over you. 

"Eyes wide open" shall be your new name for that is what you will experience in these days.

Amen 

  

    

Made Holy through mediation

I am the Lord Almighty.

I came to deliver all men from the curse of death, (separation from God), for all time.

I have always been.

From eternity to eternity I have pursued my people.

I have chased after you in both good times and bad.

You are my beloved, it has always been my desire to become one with you.

I shall cover you with robes of white as a covering.

No longer will your garments be stained 

Become one with me and watch as I cause growth and fulfillment.

See, I have called forth a move. 

In these days I shall come.

My kingdom shall advance and grow among you.

You will sense my presence for I shall be in your midst.

Amen 

Holiness and Indwelling

 Have them build a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

Exodus 25:8 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/exo.25.8.AMP

I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar [of burnt offering]; also I will sanctify Aaron and his sons to serve as priests to Me. I will dwell among the sons of Israel and be their God.

Exodus 29:44‭-‬45 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/exo.29.44-45.AMP

The presence of God makes holy, as at the burning bush.

How much more so wherever He makes His permanent abode?

It is as the indwelling God, that He sanctifies the house and makes it holy. 

He reveals Himself as the Holy One in Israel.

Holiness is not so much an attribute but a part of His essential being. He cannot be anything other than holy.

He instructs the Israelites to make a dwelling for Him and the dwelling place ( the holy of holies ) foreshadows His indwelling of His people.

From the holy place comes the two-fold voice, the call to make holy, and the promise to make holy

Obedience is key to the master's indwelling and only He can make the house holy, However, do not seek holiness as an attribute or gift. Holiness is neither of these. It must be sought in God alone, His person.

It is Him, dwelling in our hearts by faith (the gift of God) that makes us Holy. 

Let Him have complete ownership of you, spirit, soul, and body.

Hear the call of God to be holy as He is holy, and stand by faith on His promise to make holy. 

He made the inner court holy, and so too, He makes our hearts holy. 

He made the outer court holy too, and so, He makes our body holy.

Open your inmost being to Him. 

Allow Him to possess and dwell with you completely for you are not your own.

Amen

Holiness and Obedience

Exodus 19:4-6

4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”

See, I have done a wonderful thing. I have brought you out of slavery, to worship me on my holy mountain. I have redeemed you and sanctified you. You are mine.

If you choose by your own free will to obey my commands. I will show you my glory and you shall be my most holy nation: You shall be a kingdom of priests and I shall esteem you and value you as my most precious people.

Obedience to God's commands is key to manifesting God's holiness It is the link between holiness and redemption. As we purposeful subjugate our will to His will, He will communicate to us His holiness.

I have the film The Ten Commandments on Youtube. The one with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner.

My mind is taken to the moment when Moses came down the mountain after spending 40 days in God's most holy presence. The Jews had ruined themselves with drunkenness, orgies, prostitution, and even Aaron built a Golden calf for the people to worship. 

I recall that immortal line "Those who will not live by the law shall die by the law" and he threw the stone tablets hewn by God's own hand into the cliff and they exploded. and the earth shook and open its bowels to swallow the Jewish nation. Yet even here at this time, God relents from His fierce anger when those who repented flocked to Aaron's side. Aaron was filled with remorse and shame.

Will you subjugate your own desires and wants for His Most Holy purpose? 

If yes, then He shall open the door to His most joyful purposes and you will find peace and fulfillment in His will for that is the purpose he created you.

If not, then... "those who will not live by the law will die by the law".

Let the answer be yes. 

Amen 

Holiness and majesty

 Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in splendor, working wonders? You in Your loving kindness and goodness have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength, You have guided them with care to Your holy habitation. You will bring them [into the land of promise] and plant them on the mountain (Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem) of Your inheritance, The place, O Lord, You have made for Your dwelling [among them], The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

Exodus 15:11‭, ‬13‭, ‬17 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/exo.15.11-17.AMP

God is majestic in holiness, and here God is guiding His once enslaved but now redeemed people into His holiness. The people shall inhabit the place of His holiness. God and His redeemed and now sanctified people shall live in the same place. His sanctuary. 

There I will meet with the Israelites, and the Tent of Meeting shall be sanctified by My glory [the Shekinah, God’s dwelling presence].

Exodus 29:43 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/exo.29.43.AMP

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord said: ‘I will be treated as holy by those who approach Me, And before all the people I will be honored.’ ” So Aaron, therefore, said nothing.

Leviticus 10:3 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/lev.10.3.AMP

Only the priests could approach God. And it is through the priests that the glory, majesty, and holiness of God, are revealed to His people. 

And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.”

Isaiah 6:3 AMP

https://bible.com/bible/1588/isa.6.3.AMP

Consider the seraphim singing of God's holiness ...The whole earth is filled with His glory.

The glory, majesty, and holiness of God are made manifest for all to see.  

Our God dwells in a consuming fire and light that are unapproachable. This can be seen in the account of Moses and the burning bush. Both fire and light speak of His holiness. As Moses grew in His faith to approach God He began to carry His presence. So much so that his countenance was changed and his face shone.

Listen to me, my child.

I shall lead you to dwell in my holiness 

I shall be both with you and in you

I shall surround you with my glory, majesty, and holiness.

You shall carry my presence with you wherever you go. 

People will be drawn to you because of me says the Lord.

You shall manifest my holiness before the people. 

The whole earth shall look at you and be amazed.

Through you, I shall be glorified in the whole earth.

Leaders, Cities, Towns, Nations, Kingdoms, and Peoples 

shall be drawn to me in these days for I shall be among my people. 

And they shall manifest my glory, majesty, and holiness

Watch and be amazed at what I am doing among my people and on the earth.

Surely, I shall be honored and glorified by my people 

It is as you lose sight of self, in favour of  me that you manifest my glory

I have redeemed you, you are mine.

You are not your own.

Praise me before men and I shall show both them and you my holiness for I dwell in the praises of my people.

Never before has a generation needed God's holiness like this generation. 

A generation starved of the knowledge of me.

Tell me, who shall tell them and who shall go

What shall be your answer?

Amen
