To see God's Face

I've woke up today at four thirty in the morning with an attitude like had more then eight hours of sleep;  rolling side to side on my bed forcing my self to sleep, but that did not happen.  So, I've pulled out my Colossians notes that I've been studying for the last two weeks, trying to break down the chapter for the sermons.  These were the verse that got my attention:


"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. . . For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell" (Colossians 1:15-19).

After a short period of time studying, I've decided to go back to sleep with a thought: "God, I want to see your face." After another attempt in put my self to sleep, I finally gave up and started my morning. Why am I saying this some might ask? Well, in that, my studying was apart from my application. I had a desire to see God's face, and where just few minutes ago, I've read a text explaining how that could be possible in my life. But to see God's face is to study Christ, it is not some experience or feelings that I might have going through an event. God reveals himself through Christ, and for me to know God is when I know Christ. In other words, the more I study Christ, the more I see God's face.

I love how Davids Murray makes this connection in his podcast video:

Lock Him up with the Bible & the Books

"Fling him into his office. Tear the 'Office' sign from the door and nail on the sign, 'Study.' Take him off the mailing list. Lock him up with his books and his typewriter and his Bible. Slam him down on his knees before texts and broken hearts and the flock of lives of a superficial flock and a holy God.  Force him to be the one man in our surfeited communities who knows about God. Throw him into the ring to box with God until he learns how short his arms are. Engage him to wrestle with God all the night through. And let him come out only when he's bruised and beaten into being a blessing.  Shut his mouth forever spouting remarks, and stop his tongue forever tripping lightly over every nonessential. Require him to have something to say before he dares break the silence. Bend his knees in the lonesome valley.  Burn his eyes with weary study. Wreck his emotional poise with worry for God. And make him exchange his pious stance for a humble walk with God a...

Everyone has an opinion on everything.  Even to say that I don't want to talk about this, says that their is already an opinion why not to talk about this.  Recently I had to answer some hard questions for myself, the questions that I haven't been faced before in my life, it just never needed to be answered.  I know there are more questions that I would have to answer in the future, but that time will come.  So an opinion is good, not unless it is being taken in a demanded form: this is the only way to do this, no other way is the right way. To demand something and ask it to be done, is possible—but it depends on authority that a person possess. Now biblically the authority only in the truth, no authority is in men—that's where the scripture is being tossed around to bash on those who has a different point of view.  If I don't like something, it doesn't mean that I am right and the other person is wrong, it might be the...

THE GIFT OF TONGUES AND TODAY’S MOVEMENT

https://www.wikihow.com/Receive-the-Holy-Spirit-as-per-the-Bible INTRODUCTION A minister at Kids Adventure Camp called a girl to the front because she claimed to have the gift of tongues. About 33 percent of the Pentecostals in the U.S. claim to speak in tongues.   One in 4 Christians identify to be Pentecostals in the States.  The girl ’s  name was Eden.  “Eden,  6 years old, interpreting a word of  tongues.”  The minister, whose name is not given, called her because she had picked a  “spiritual gift”  as a tongue of interpreter in the camp. Since then, her family had been praying for Eden to have this gift that she chose. The minister had confessed that he himself did not have this gift of interpretation. After a small discussion, someone from the crowd prayed in tongues and Eden claimed to know the meaning of that prayer. Eden, who wore a black dress with a pink prize award on her left shoulder, throughout the video picked ...
