Can You Hear Me Now?

I have good news. The God of the universe, the mighty Creator – Elohim, has made a way for us to be reconnected to the source. The spiritual connection has been marred, severed, broken, and disconnected by sin. He came to earth as a man to show us how much He loves us and desires to reestablish that relationship. The wages or payment for sin is death, so He chose to perform the act of dying once and for all by sacrificing a man born with the divine nature, His nature. Only His divine blood, the blood of Jesus Christ, could accomplish this and make a way for the entire world.

The rebellious nature and a desire to do our own thing can keep us from accepting God’s gift of salvation. Even those who have accepted Christ as Savior can fall into this trap and not live in the fullness of His grace. The love and acceptance we seek are the very essence of who God is and the desire He has placed in us since we were created in His image. One problem is that we keep looking for love in all the wrong places and deny Him access to our hearts. Culture and secular humanism tell us that we do not need to acknowledge a Creator and that we all can make moral decisions and be self-fulfilled without a belief in God. May we humble ourselves and deny our pride to allow the Spirit of God to show us the truth.  A better title for this post would be “Can You Hear Him Yet?” Our Father is patient and compassionate, yearning to embrace us.

“Every element of self-reliance must be slain by the power of God. Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.”  Oswald Chambers

Revelation 3:20

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Romans 1:20-21

For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Proverbs 21:2

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the hearts.
