The Lord
You want to accelerate in God? You must know the Lord in a personal way.
Knowing the Lord personally is the most important thing in the world to me. To know His ways and to be like Him means life and death to me.
When you get to know the Lord, you'll understand that He is not only God, but He is also very Human! He is also a person, with personality.
The Lord has emotions like you and I, the Lord weeps, laughs, gets angry, grieves just like us. He's personality is the most wonderful one you'll ever known.
The Lord also has needs just like us. Many times we come before God with a full shopping lists, saying God give me this and that, and also that house on the mountain, the big one I mean, not the small one. We constantly asking the Lord about our needs. But do you know that God has needs too? Yes! He does!
If the Lord has no needs at all, He won't create us in the first place. Because He has longings, thus creation. It's a mystery of the heart of God. That God the uncreated one will long for something that He does not yet have.
What are some of His needs?
1. He has the need to be loved! Yes. Like you and I, we long to be accepted to be loved. We long to be cared for. God too! He too longs to be loved by someone, He longs to be cared for. We are created in the image of God, therefore we bear the same desires that God has. God longs to be loved!
2. The Lord has a need to be comforted. When a man longs to marry the woman, he courts her, he reveals his heart to her, but she rejects him over and over again--this is the greatest pain in human history--the pain of rejection from love. God is such a tender and loving God, He is so obsessed with humans that he thinks about us every second. He loves us so much that He plans everything that will come in your way to get your attention, then He watches our hearts very carefully. Every little response will captured His attention. God hurts a lot! Every minute, every second He is rejected by us, His heart is broken and wounded like no other. His dream and plans are unrecognized and ignored. His heart bleed like no others. God needs to be comforted. Just like when a friend is hurt, we sit by then and comfort them. We weep with them. This is how God longs for us to do--to weep with Him. Every little response of our hearts can bring great grief or joy to His heart. God is a jealous God. He is jealous over us.
3. God has the need to accompanied. God is lonely. Yes that's right. God is extremely lonely. Like us, when we have no one to talk to, we are lonely. Especially for God, we always think he is high high up there, and Holy untouchable, and aren't really interested with us, so we barely talk with Him. The times we talk with Him is about our needs. God is lonely to death, to a point He couldn't bare it no longer, He became a man to walk among us. He is a fanatic about humans, about being among us. God wants us to walk with Him every minute in our life as Enoch did in the days of old.
Conclusion:
We must spend time waiting upon the Lord, not asking for our needs. But simply worship Him, adore Him. Being with Him. Weeping at His feet. When we begin to do this, our walk with God will quickly accelerate. God longs to have friends!
