Getting to Know God

-
 Hi, and welcome to the 'Getting to know God' hotline!

Here I'll point out various scriptures to help you know and understand the God in whom you serve.

If you have anything to add to this post, you can drop more in the comment section, I am more than happy to hear from you!

Let's begin!


When you've taken interest in someone, the first thing you do is study them. 
You want to know what they like, what they don't like. What's their interest, what's their favorites, what makes them, them. 

Now, with God, to know Him fully is impossible, but He isn't stingy in allowing you to see a few glimpses of who He truly is. 

In my studies, I wrote down some things that I would think are helpful for us on the "GTKG" Hotline.

Found in Proverbs 6:16-19, here's a list of things that God Hates: 

-A Proud look- which is pride.
 
-A lying tongue.

-A murderer. 

-A heart that devises wicked imagination- Someone who indulges in the thoughts of wickedness and evil.
 
-Feet that run to mischief- A person that finds themselves attracted to trouble

-A false witness- A person who compromises.

-A discord sower- A person who brings confusion and chaos.

These are the things that we should avoid when building our relationship with God.

In my studies, I find that although God can hate some things, His love overcomes a lot. 

Below are some of the things our God loves: 

-A cheerful giver. A person that doesn't give with selfish motives or to is seen.
2 Corinthians 9:7

-He loves the world and everyone in it, regardless of our faults.
John 3:16

-Persons that follow His commands and cling to His word. 
Deuteronomy 7:9

-A broken and contrite heart. Regardless, of how to love you may feel His love reaches to you.
Psalm 51:17

-A person who pursues righteousness. Who actively tries to do right. 
Proverbs 15:9

-Sinners and those who have not yet come to in. 
1 John 4:10/ Romans 5:8

-Justice. A person that is fair. 
Psalm 11:7. Psalm 37:28


See from the lists above what you need to work on when it comes to building your relationship with Him. See the basics of who God is.

Read the scriptures, they explain whom we serve and who He is for the carnal mind to consume.

Reading the Word of God has given me insight into who He is. I have not resolved entirely, but I have seen and witnessed just enough to know that who I am serving.

I served and worship is a loving, forgiving, kind, merciful, faithful, responsive, and just God.

I hope this helps you in your journey on Getting to Know Him. Then, you too would be grounded in Him.

Build Your Faith

  1 Kings 17:16 "For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah" Hebrews 11:1 "For faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen" The verse taken from the book of 1 Kings is from the story of the lady who catered to Elijah during his time in her town.  Apparently, the lady was set to make her final meal for her and her son and then proceed to die from starvation. However, when Elijah came to her, he asked that she provide him food. She told him her plan, but Elijah still insist that she make him food and even told her that it won't be her last.  The verse tells us that the food never ran out.  She obeyed Elijah in providing a meal for him, regardless of her not seeing a way.  Although she had already come to her own conclusion, she still trusted in God that his conclusion was better and in return, she saw the hand of God move in her life. She beheld a...

Change The Environment!

  So my husband and I were having a bit of a mosquito problem. I found numerous bumps on my legs, but it puzzled me because I rarely go outside.  Thanks to COVID.  These mosquitos were living in our house. They were surviving in our house.  Now, if you know mosquitos, they require a certain kind of environment to thrive.  They would need a bushy area, preferably with puddles or swamps. So, it puzzled me how they were surviving here in my house where none of those things were. My husband later told me to take out the dishwater before bed. That if they needed water to live, then remove what is helping them.  Change the environment.  I have read that in order to get rid of something, you must change the environment or the atmosphere that it is comfortable in.  Eventually, it will have to move because it will not find a resting place there anymore.  Matthew 12:43-46 speaks on the impure spirit who abided in a person. It stated that when the perso...

Lay Low Soar High

  I know.   I know.  It's been a long time and so many things have happened that I need to share with you.   There's really no excuse for my absence other than life really taking drastic changes and me trying to maneuver in it. (I'll write a post about that later)  I want to know how everyone's has been? What's up? (Drop the comments below)  However,  I am writing today about a word that I recieved and got the pressing matter to  share.   He said its for someone, "Just because you are laying low in your life right now, does not mean He has count you out"  God said, "So often people associate the posture of laying low with negativity, but that is the enemy's thought seed planting and never His intentions".  When we worship, we get low in spirit and physical, so why would that posture that God loves be wrong.  God said, "I have placed you in that position because when I elevate you, it will be only I that gets the ...
