Thoughts of my own?

Who will seek the Lord while He may be found?

"God is a Consuming fire" (A quote on quote form the Book Of Hebrews - 12).

I will - wish He teaches me to be better at it!

Need a consciousness of the relationship with Him and much more conscious communication with Him too. He spoke to Moses face to face - then "I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John [greater than Moses]yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." And now we are made nigh to God by the Cross of Jesus and He has shed His blood for the forgiveness of sin or carried away the sin of the world so we are not separated from God by our sins no longer. .......So I truly cry out "reveal yourself God in my life not as a concept, not as a theory, not as a teaching of people, not a a compleatly mystical being - for I have heard of and accepted Christ and I believe He shows Who You are and now that I have without more of an understanding of You things make no sense."

People can use, understand and twist scripture endlessly in varying ways. Teachers and fellow Christians may want to influence one this way or that....which always reminds me of the young prophet who was buried after dining with the old one in 1 Kings 13. Both had a word from God one true (the one who died) the other homemade. The one who had the true word was eaten by a Lion because He didn't follow up on it and trusted in the words of another man and/or his authority. While the one with the false word lived to bury the one who got the true word. So I cry out without God and a strong personal relationship with Him all things are impossible! Without the Living resurrected Christ and direct communication and fellowship with Him things are meaningless :-) It is not possible to recognsile the Old wine with the New or chapters as Numeri 26 with John 8. Christ is the Lord in the Flesh - did He change His mind? We are told that He doesn't that He is always the same Malachi 3:6. I can only understand things in life and scripture as Hebrews 12:18-24 by the help of Christ. How does the Lord avail Himself to be found? Is the process of finding refining?
