GOD IS NEVER RECOGNIZED GOD IS REVEALED ( JOHN 4:22- 24 )

 NEVER ASK GOD "'TO SPEAK TO YOU" 'WITH YOUR BIBLE CLOSED. GODS WORD IS GODS VOICE WRITTEN DOWN. 

 

Jesus specifically states  that "you do not know what you or who you are worshiping you worship what you do not comprehend." Jesus was explaining to the Samaritan woman that the act of worship is not a religious activity but a true

operation of relationship and intimacy with God. the only way to be involved in this type of relationship would be (v 23) to worship the father in spirit and in truth:

for the father is seeking  chosen people as his worshipers.

(v24) God is  spirit ( spiritual being) and those who worship him must

worship him in spirit and in truth. This is why God can never be contained

or captured by religious activity's or practices he has to have an active

relationship with us to reveal his truth to us. God is never recognized he is

revealed.

                                 *here's the difference*

 To Recognize- to identify as previously seen or known.

 To Reveal - to make known, disclose information, to lay in open view, to make plain, to explain, research, study, examine, shed light, open.

When you are reading and meditating on the word of God, his word gives

you insight into his thoughts, his mind. , his character, and his ways.

Now you  can begin to get understanding on his blueprint for your life. As you are meditating in his word and his words are seeping into your spirit and then you will hear his voice.

Gods word reveals his voice. you will know his voice when you can confirm

it by his word.Always confirm decisions by the word of God.

Logos>written word of God. Christ was the word of God that became flesh

Ray-mah> spoken word of God. A specific word. spoken by God for a particular situation.

This is the number one reason people go to churches weekly but never have the capacity to live a valuable Christian life. God has never been revealed to that Individual, Religion has. It's like going to college for 4 years to obtain a degree and because of the need to pay your college debt, you work in a field totally opposite of your degree hoping to one day obtain a position commensurate to your training. You must have a person who has the ability to hire you and mentor you to combine your Degree with a position that will manifest the income needed to pay your debt. Religion> people sit in churches for 4 to 20 years hearing about the things of God, the ways of God even the power of God hoping to one day operate in biblical power with no physical relationship or connection to God or his word. All of their information will never line up with their experience because they are missing the basic connection revelation and relationship ie LOGOS and RAY-MAH.

These 2 must be combined to experience the God kind of life. we live life to fulfill his purpose in our lives and the only way to live a fulfilled life is to be filled with his Spirit directing you through life. God is never recognized God is revealed.
