I have one specific question that needs to can be answered: how do I get to know Adonai as
a whole? He is a spirit, and Jesus told the Samaritan woman that Adonai seeks to be
worshipped in Spirit and truth. The children of Israel were being led through the wilderness,
and the glory of the Lord was shown, and they saw it. My question is, what do that look for in
regards to his glory. Also, I work in a place where they allow many different religions. How
can I tell them what they practice is wrong? My personal goal is to draw closer to the Trinity
and be aware of all that is false. I want to gain wisdom through obtaining knowledge and
understanding. I do hope that through this course that I will gain and develop through the
sermon series. In this week's readings, I came to understand that we as Westerners' have
made Adonai too look like us, act like us, and be us. I am guilty of this, and it breaks my heart
to know that I have disappointed the Lord by seeing Him/the Spirit as myself. How can I
know someone or something only through a developed faith? Or belief? I have had plenty of
experiences with the Lord, and I know it could have only been Him. (I chose to call God Him)
He is more than just an invisible spirit to me. He is my father because the one that was used
to be biological was very abusive; he is my best friend because all those with whom I trusted
betrayed me. He is my comfort because when I experience depression, he makes me happy. I
am on a quest to know more about the Godhead, the Trinity, and each facet of the Three in
one individually and collectively. I do not want to see God as a science God; I want the one
and true Almighty God where I will know him by name because he knows me by my name. He
has even tattooed my name on the palm of his hand. I hope that the more I come into the
knowledge of the Lord, the more I will find the motivation to spend time with him through
prayer and fasting. There are so many people who have no idea about knowing Him,
experiencing Him, and accepting his love for them. This is one area I would like to be
displayed in my life. I am looking for a change that will allow me to look, behave, and think
like Jesus.
