Who am I? My relationship to God through prayer (part 2)


And we as His people are His royal priesthood and we are called to worship Him and  be humbled before Him. (Psalm 95:6) not just in church but everywhere. God is in control in all things. His power is not just in His strength but in His handiwork and His love. Everyone of His children know of His power and salvation, indeed deep down all creatures and beings know Him, and all know His truth (98:2-3). The hard part is getting people to know they actually do know Him and will come when called. After all God is a redeemer. God loves me, God loves His people and even those not in that group, so much so that He sent His Son so that we would all be saved. He is the Great Forgiver and Healer, And for this He is deserving of respect and blessings. (Psalms 103:1-4)

 

God refines me. God refines His church. He prunes it, He makes it humble so that His worship is pure. (Malachi 3:3,4) And on the flip side, God does the bidding of His Church and longs to give delights to those that trust, obey and believe in Him. (Matthew 18:19-20). He saved me from slavery to sin and gave me freedom in the Spirit. (Romans 5:1-11, 6:18) just as He brought the Israelites to freedom. ( 2 Kings 17:36)
