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. e 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.
