Getting Acquainted With God

For this, cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named – Ephesians 3:14-15.

Spiritually speaking, there are only two families on the earth; the family of God and the family of Satan. Regardless of heritage or background, every person belongs to one of those two families. Which family do you belong to? Who is your father – God or Satan?

The only way one can be delivered out of the family of Satan is to be born into the family of God (Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God – John 3:3). You must receive Jesus as your Savior and be born again to belong to the family of God and call God your Heavenly Father.

People that have not been born again can’t see the kingdom of God; their understanding is not capable of discerning the things of the Spirit (But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for thy are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned – 1st Corinthians 2:14).

Once you are born again, you begin to grow spiritually as you get to know your Heavenly Father. The number one way you become better acquainted with God the Father is through His written Word. Smith Wigglesworth once said, ” I can’t understand God by feelings; I understand God by what the Word says about Him. He is everything the Word says He is”.

Many people want to get acquainted with the Father through experiences. You can indeed learn some things about God through different experiences in life. But the number one way to get to know Him is through His written Word. In the Word, we learn about the Father’s nature and how much He loves and cares for us.

God loves each individual; it does not depend on their actions. His love is unconditional. He loves them, but not the sin (For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whomsoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life – John 3:16). We were born into sin. Still, God gave us a way to escape His wrath by believing in His Son and accepting salvation from His Son.

God is the God of all nations; any other gods are man-made. We don’t have to worry about anything because God has already supplied the need (According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life, and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue – 2nd Peter 1:3). Before you were born, God knew everything you would need to survive in life. The problem is people remove God from their lives and wonder why their life turned out the way they did.

God doesn’t want us to be anxious and worried, He is our Heavenly Father, and He can do what no earthly father can do. So don’t worry or have anxiety, do not fret. You can be sure of this one fact, as you trust God with your life, He will take a father’s place and perform a father’s part in your life.

He wants you to put an end to worry, doubt, and fear in your life. How do you get rid of worry, doubt, and fear? By doing what the Scriptures say (Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you – 1st Peter 5:7). Once you have given your cares to the Father once and for all, don’t pick them up again.

Some people try everything except God’s way to receive deliverance and victory. They may receive temporary help but won’t experience permanent victory until they practice being doers of the Word. As you purpose in your heart to get to know your Father, you will begin to experience His love, having your expectation in Him and not within what you’re going through.
