You could sum up every problem any human in the world has as a lack of knowing God well enough. Every sickness is because you don’t know God well enough. Every lack in your life is because you don’t know God well enough. The reason you lust, get angry, are easily offended is because you don’t know God well enough.
We will always reap what we sow, and because we do not sow enough time with God and His Word, we do not know God well enough. We then limit God as if He was just a slightly bigger version of ourselves. If we are tight with money, we see God as slightly less tight than ourselves, we do not se Him as generous and we will struggle with prosperity. If we are negative and critical of people, we will see God as just slightly less critical than us.
There are two main reasons Christians do not know God well. Firstly, we still have a system in place that encourages second hand faith. Most people if they are sick, their go to is not God’s Word, it is their favourite preacher, it is their pastor, it is someone else. We have set up a system where that kind of immaturity is rewarded and encouraged! Secondly, many do not realize that you can only know God from the Word. You cannot know God from experience or culture or tradition, you have to go to the Word.
If you want to seriously change your life in any and every area, you have to get to know God better. You need to read the Bible, praying as you do, and not just find something to do or say, but find God in the Word. Find His nature, His love, His principles, His goodness. I guarantee you that if you read the Bible with an open heart asking God to reveal Himself to you, that over time He definitely will.
Remember you are the righteousness of God, you do not need to do anything or work anything or achieve anything to encounter God. You just need to have an open heart and expect by faith God to reveal Himself to you. Remember God is good. He only gives us good gifts. Nothing bad ever comes from God. It is so much evil that when bad things happen religious people always blame God, that’s not true, that deception. God is a good God.
I am writing this blog posts because I want you to grasp that God is big so that you can have a great, big life. I wish I could give you all steps to do this, but it is less about steps and more about your heart. It’s not about do this to get that, it’s about realizing that the Word of God teaches clearly that God is big, and it mandates that we should spend the time finding out about God’s bigness.
I want everyone reading this to stop making excuses for your small thinking and your unbelief. I want you to stop disobeying God and start spending time with what is precious: God and His Word. God sent His Son to see you free from sin, death, the curse of the law, all sickness and all poverty. It’s time you stopped rolling over and letting that dominate your life and it’s definitely time you stop blaming God for it all.
God has so much good in store for you and your future, but you are going to have to do something to bring yourself to a place where you believe it.
